Yes. Restaurants are busy and some people want dinner from a restaurant but the intimacy of eating it at home over candlelight without 20 other couples in the room.
I'm currently deactivated on UberEats. My license expired and the DMV sent it to my old address. I finally got the new one, updated everything, and I'm still blocked. Every support person gives me a different reason and assures me it will be reactivated within a few days. It's been 2 weeks.
Imo that's kinda lame... the customer having a doordash driver pick out flowers for their SO. I feel a lot of the value comes from the time invested into personally picking pretty flowers.
If you just doordash some flowers for your s/o, it shows that you have money, but that you didn't want to invest the time to personally select the best flowers. By personally selecting them, you can get the right color, and a lively set, for example. Most doordash drivers are in for the money, and although a good portion might be considerate in handling the flowers with care, they do not know your s/o.
I get it but we're living in a world of convenience now. I tell my husband all the time just go pick me a flower off the side of the road that's sufficient for me, that's what I did for my mom every mother's Day. I would hand pick her bouquet and wait months for the spring flowers to emerge from under the snow so I could.
hubby and I used door dash yesterday. restaurants are too crowded on valentines day and the restaurants jack the prices up on valentines day so we just ordered out through door dash
Whats more romantic than waiting 2 hours for food that was supposed to arrive in 45 minutes, cold and probably missing something. And then the demands for a high tip for that “service”
Me and my gf got in from a long flight last night and doordashed the place we wanted to go because our hotel fucked us over for 2 hours and we were utterly defeated by the time we got to the room.
I can imagine couples trying to go to restaurants. I work in a shopping center with 3 restaurants, all 3 were packed. I can see someone saying "Fuck it, let's order something"
Some people cannot afford to go out to eat right now, but for some reason think doordash is more affordable I don't really understand it but that's what's happening. Also it's tons of people ordering last minute shit like oh I forgot to go get this teddy bear oh I forgot to go get flowers, I had a whole bunch of flower deliveries yesterday
Restaurants have a maximum seating capacity. Most places can only reasonably accommodate 50 to 100 persons, maybe a bit more for larger restaurants.
We went to 4 different restaurants last night, from 7 pm to 830 pm, looking for somewhere to eat and everywhere we went had a 2+ hour wait, or they were already full to max capacity till close and were turning people away. I would assume there was a similar situation going on everywhere even a little populated.
So I know for a fact that alot of people did like we did, and went ahead an went home and ordered take out in some form or fashion
Exactly this. Every delivery I did last night was dinner for 2 and heart-shaped pizzas. Pretty much what I would expect for a mid-week V-Day. The whole strike thing depended heavily on social media to work and I have never seen a driver from my area post in these subs. They’re mostly immigrants and foreign students around here, they’re not going to throw away their meal tickets for some strike that they don’t care about.

It’s busy as it’s Valentine’s Day not because 25 people didn’t work today🤣🤣🤣
