Just walk and buy the stuff. In a way, I miss how before apps, places just had two or three delivery guys

Agreed, I miss delivery being associated with a restaurant. There was better accountability.

But I also live in a walkable area, so it's easy for me to say 'just walk'.

If you walk the roads near me you won't live long.

Shitty suburban Ohio. No shoulder on the road, no bike lanes, no sidewalk. Two lane roads with relatively high speed limits and lots of heavy truck traffic.

Lots of crosses from dead pedestrians and cyclists. The last time I walked home two miles from the tire shop I had three people stop to offer me a ride. Everyone knows you shouldn't be on these roads without a vehicle.

Oh, I’ve experienced that near Windham, OH. Makes total sense.
