The bank account is unafraid. But it makes my brain recoil.

I know people who order using this multiple times a week and complain they have no money.

Here is what they charge. Mind you the taxes in this area are only $1.51, so they even inflate that. The food prices are also about 15% more than instore pricing.

I'm sure the same dummies are shamed into giving tips for takeout orders, or even more stupidly, dine-in orders when they serve as their own waiter.

That's a new prompt. For the stupid.

Their entire business model is fooling dumb people.

Just like a lot of these gamers.
Coworker had a gaming binge one weekend, didn't realize he had racked up $1000 in fees for weapons and/or skills to reach higher levels in the game. SMH
And they wonder why they can't get ahead.

Having food delivered. If you would see the interiors of some of those delivery vehicles.
On top of the nasty hygiene of some of them. Finger fucking your food. Fuck that. I know how to cook.

+1, you ain’t gotta be Dave Ramsey to know that paying someone to bring you cooked food in their car at a huge markup is a bad, bad idea…

I'm poor because inflation is insane and employers are refusing to increase salaries to compensate.
I have NOTHING financed and zero luxuries.

Same but we’ll probably just get told that we’re lazy or have poor spending habits.
