    I’m a millenial. I kind of use those services. Not really.

    2 years ago I moved into my apartment. I would come home, and see a bag of food delivery in the lobby.

    So I would go up to my apartment, think nothing of it.

    Then I’d take out my trash at 6am, and see it still sitting there. One day I checked the tag. Delivered 8pm the day day before.

    It kept happening. Different apartments, delivery anywhere between 3pm and 10pm. I’d come home from work at 1am, and it still would be there.

    Eventually I just started checking the tag, and if it’s been more than 2 hours, fuck it. Free dinner for me!

    I still don’t get why these delivery drivers won’t deliver to the apartment door, always leaving food in the lobby. I also don’t get why the customers who paid for their food don’t come get it.

    Either way, roughly once every 2 weeks, I have free dinner.

      They have atrict time lines for delivery. Some apartment buildings are an absolute maze, and others have highly restricted access to the living spaces.
