This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yup I also ended up migrating to the restaurants/cafe's own apps for pickup
I might have 47 food related apps on my phone now but beats a fuggin 30% charge to the restaurant

I went through a local boba place’s website to order for a few months. Would order, walk there, and it would be ready right as I arrived, all very neat.
Then I found out my $9 order was $5 for a drink and $4 for door dash, who apparently runs the site? I don’t want to contribute to door dash becoming ticketmaster, but restaurants opt-in to that shit willingly.
Now I’m paying half price in person and wasting 5-10 minutes each time. Can’t win.
Maybe just call them, like in the good old days?
Yep, I started calling every restaurant to order years ago. Fuck having a bunch of unnecessary apps on my phone and fuck paying some unnecessary intermediary company a cut.
Not all restaurants’ sites are this way, so check on a per restaurant basis
