    Yes there is an alternative, you don’t use delivery services. It is just a big dumb waste of money.

    I pick up all my own food, have never used any of the 3rd party food delivery ripoffs

      That’s great. My time is worth less than theses crazy prices and I work better if I get something to eat and this is faster than getting the very limited and terrible food at work. Do I feel like the prices are insane? Yep. But it’s a value call and since there isn’t another option that allows for good quality food quickly, they get my money. This didn’t used to exist and that sucked, so maybe we are just undervaluing how great this is. Would be greater not paying $60 for lunch though, so yeah, I’m gonna keep paying and grumbling about it at the same time. I really hope drone services take off soon and have better pricing.

        Using drones would be cheaper, but the delivery companies won’t be passing those savings on to you. They’ve already shown that people are willing to pay the prices they charge now. They’ll just absorb the savings for themselves.
