    It absolutely baffles me that people are willing to spend that kind of money on low-quality takeout food that often arrives cold. I live just five minutes away from several five-star restaurants. If I wanted to, I could call ahead and pick up a fresh, high-quality meal in half the time it takes for a soggy, lukewarm fast food burger to show up at my doorstep—and I’d pay only a third of the price.

    I genuinely don’t understand the appeal.

      Most people don’t live so close to good restaurants. And driving is so miserable that they’ll pay others to do the driving for them.

      Was going to say i and most cant afford even a single star restaurant but then i Realised those only go up to three and you’re talking about fake internet points.

      One of the best restaurants (zero stars) i have regularly been too has no website and most people don’t even know what its called because its not on the storefront or the menu. People refer to it using the chef/owners name.
