Who won?
- Society
- Who's next?
  
  YOU DECIDE!
You should have asked for a video of the fight
- i assume this is about right
"Okay, I won, omw"

Edit: actually, I just noticed they led with a slutty amount of Ys, not cool
- Yeah I was VERY confused by the opening message. I 100% thought I was being hit on when I sent "hello"
  
  Next time ask if they’re taking bets!
- Wait. When was that a thing?
  
  Since millennials got old enough to be slutty texters
Stay safe? If that mf wants the tip, they must fight for my order!
- DoorDash Battle Royale
  
  Literally the Chinese workforce rn
What I'll never understand is people paying $50 for some cold garbage from Taco Bell.
- My fiancé is disabled. On bad days (emotionally or physically) ordering is the best way to get food. It's expensive as fuck but it's a lot better than barely eating or not eating at all.
  
  I'm disabled as well and understand this a lot. Thank you for helping them have a safe food they can eat. Please always remember that when you're providing care to someone, you need to care for your own emotional and physical needs as well. Ordering in can be a reprieve for you too and that's valid. Ignore the other commenter, they're giving me red flags about being controlling anyway.
  
  If you can handle the upfront cost Factor has been a lifesaver for me. I'm in the exact same boat. I love to cook but on bad days I can't even look at the stove or oven. Factor heats up in a couple minutes and while it's not health food, it's healthier than most delivery.
  
  So's my wife, but I'm not feeding her Taco Bell. She already has enough problems.
- When I use Uber Eats, I'm not really buying food. I'm buying stress relief.
  
  I frequently have to get up at 4am and don't get home until 8-9pm on days where I go to my main job then teach night classes at the University. I'm busy that entire time and simply don't have the time at home to make a lunch or time at work for a lunch break.
  
  Yeah, I could meal-prep on the weekend, but the last thing I want to do with my precious time I'm not working, traveling to work, or sleeping is prep for the work week.
  
  And the only restaurant is Taco Bell? Did they finally win the Fast Food Wars?
- I used to pay $13 for a combo meal because it was the only way to get food within walking distance and I didn't have a way to prepare food at home.
  
  Right, not four times that for it to be cold and soggy.
Probably doesn't need to be said but memes aside I appreciate you being nice to them. I always feel incredibly bad for the people working in that industry.
That's why you gotta go yourself.
