No way! If you told me in 2008 that a taco bell taco was going to be $3.65 I would have looked at you like you shot my dog.

    Jimmy Johm's still does. I used to work for them doing bike delivery in-house. It was nice I got paid to ride my bike. Since I only did the lunch rush, it worked out to $25/hour with the tips which was really good money for me. Somehow I got really lucky and had only about 2 shifts in the rain.

    I bought a frozen dinner for the first time a while ago so I would have something in the house for days like today and completely forgot I had it lol/

      Good for them. Where I work does it too, but we're pretty delivery light. Higher end of midrange Italian place that specializes in pizzas so we get a lot of takeout orders for pickup but delivery is only 4 days a week cause that's when we have an extra dude with a car. Delivery drivers do pretty good, a lot better than Ubereats guys and it cost the customer less. Also as a cook, if you were to order through an Ubereats or whatever and we happened to use them, I would see it on the chit and I would make the food worse. It sucks that they've basically monopolized delivery cause it's a scab employment firm with extra steps to hide that fact

        Where is the extra money going?! These companies still aren't profitable.
