37 Relatable Tweets About Ordering Food Delivery During The Pandemic

One upside of the pandemic is that it has allowed me to rebrand ordering delivery from “ugh too lazy to cook or even get pre-made food from the store” to “virtuously supporting local businesses during this difficult time”

Yes, I get a cheap thrill when I'm tracking a delivery driver's location on a map and the app corrects their position in real time by making it look like they're flying over the city in a hover car.

Very conflicted. Do I let the delivery guy think I'm having a Super Bowl party in the middle of a pandemic or do I admit the 6-foot sub is just for me?

Governor: All restaurants must now convert to takeout or delivery, only.

why does contactless delivery suddenly sound so erotic to me?

Not Postmates, not Instacart, but a service that will come to my house and confront me with the food I already have in my fridge.

Grubhub just announced a checkout option to eliminate any interaction with your delivery person so I feel it’s the right time to tell you all that I planned this whole pandemic myself and it worked. 🤷🏻‍♀️

my hard and fast rule for restaurants until our global disease nightmare is over: unless you write "fuck you" on my takeout bag, i won't complain about shit. and even then, just to be safe, i'll assume i probably did something to deserve it.

I hope to maintain this procedure through the pandemic and also after, to avoid awkward small talk with strangers.
