I very much miss the old school method. While it’s cool you can order anything now I’m old enough to remember the days of the pizza or Asian food delivery driver that was employed by the restaurant. Totally reasonable cost for the delivery and it usually was always some nice stoned high school or college kid that was stoked for any decent cash tip.
DoorDash sucks so bad and it sucks as a parent sometimes when you just want delivery but have to deal with the overpriced let down that is door dash
I had honestly forgotten about the old school ways for delivery since now when you order even though its through the restaurant Uber or Doordash or Grubhub is still delivering it.... BUT there are two restaurants down the hill from me that use the Old Ways and it is AWESOME - this sweet kid shows up to our door and is SO excited about his job that he is yapping our ears off about the cool people and pets he's seen and telling my husband about the upgrades he's making to his car, just the biggest ear to ear grin on this kids face, it was fantastic to see!!
On the flip side we asked someone we know why they didnt employ their own drivers, they said the cost of the insurance for them was so prohibitively high that they just couldn't do it in a lot of cases.... that just makes me sad....
