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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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
