TheAardvark posted:What is the rest of your diet like OP? I eat a lot of eggs, pre-bagged salads and oatmeal. I like those cans of mini corn cobs, sometimes for a snack I'll just eat them raw out of the can. Canned peas and steamed broccoli (sometimes with cheese). Chicken fingers with lots of hot sauce twice a week. The variety hasn't been great recently to be honest. I used to spend more time cooking and trying new things but I've lost the motivation to be creative about it. Its definitely at least partly due to the poorer cooking facilities and lack of counter space where I live now compared to my old house. I'm trying to supplement that by eating out more to have things I normally don't cook myself. Going to the mall foodcourt is a good excuse to get out of the house and I get some cheap, different food from what I have been making myself.

Methanar posted:the mall foodcourt A food "court" at a mall is somewhere where you grab an indulgent snack because you have been out all day and need a few decadent tasty calories. They are Not a place where you go for general meals and nutrition. It weirds me out that you refer to a food court in a shopping mall as typical and normal place to buy a meal. Also, order at least 2-3 dishes at time, even if it goes to leftovers.

I feel like, as a team or family we have to shout out when someone is veering off into the deep grass. "Hey, back this way! Don't go that way!" Food court dining definitely falls into that category.

Do delivery drivers working for a specific restaurant split tips with the rest of the staff like waiters do? I assume not, right?

Internetjack posted:A food "court" at a mall is somewhere where you grab an indulgent snack because you have been out all day and need a few decadent tasty calories. The restaurants at the food court are just renting space in the mall. Most are chains that exist just fine in their own dedicated buildings. There is nothing worse about the food just because its in the foodcourt, its just a convenient place to stop and get some food after a pleasant drive over the yellowhead, down 170th and a bit of exercise walking through the mall for a while. Lately I've been getting schwarma plates, big plates of that vertical meat spit thing, steamed vegetables, rice and their yogurt sauce from one of the greek places. All for only 12 dollars. I think its great.

Most things normal people buy are neither.

y'all should tip your drivers because many have to use their own car and maybe get like a dollar from their employers per delivery out of the fee as if that will help with gas. especially canadian gas prices.

The automobile allowance rates for 2019 are: 58¢ per kilometre for the first 5,000 kilometres driven. With gas being less than a $1/litre, unless you have the worst car in the world, this more than covers gas prices.

Depending on how wide the establishment's delivery range is 1 loonie most certainly does not cover gas. As well as any maint costs for constantly driving their own car for work. Do you also not tip servers?

Goast posted:you said it covers fuel cost, that is not the entire cost of operating a vehicle okay lets say you have a car that gets 15l/100km. Not unreasonable. that's 0.15l per km or $0.15. That leaves you with a difference of 0.58-0.15.58 = 0.43 cents remaining per km travelled to cover oil changes, engine and tire wear. yeah i actually do think that covers the cost of vehicle operation. the government got this one right. Seems to be enough for all jobs that require mileage accounting, not just delivery drivers. But anyway the whole thing is a bit redundant since I'm not going to get delivery again.

I'll admit I have not dined in a shopping mall in over a decade. I have no reason to believe a shop in the court cannot deliver a healthy meal at a decent price. History and experience has taught me otherwise. Salty and sugary foods at marked up prices is what pays the rent for those vendors. It tastes good! But you have to look at $12 a meal price tag... A person can eat at home, 3 meals breakfast lunch and dinner, healthy and full for $12 a day. Not just one meal. More to the point of the thread though, if you are ordering delivery, you should be willing to spend a few bucks, order a couple of entrees so it is worth their time, otherwise you are just "one of those".

A possible fee and always a tip is part of getting food delivered. It's basically the cost of getting bad food brought to you so you don't have to leave the house. This is also why you load up on shameful amount of food so you can eat pizza for like 3 days after.
