What's one of the best contributions to the lazy society we enjoy today?
I'll start, seeing as it's my idea....
Amazon shopping.
-
Peloton home exercise. Saves you the bother of going to the gym.
-
Just Eat
Uber Eats
Deliveroo
I hate all that stuff, for lots of reasons.
It smacks of:
“Not only can I not be bothered to cook something, I can’t be arsed to get out and get myself something either”.
Not to mention the fact that the industry is riddled with illegal workers.

.... and for the ones who do queue in shops , very frustrating . The people at home jump the queue and places like Greggs have Staff committed to getting loads of gear ready while others hang about hoping to get served
Another problem that I've noticed , do NOT park too near a shop where food is collected as the Drivers will obviously park as close to there as possible and are NOT as careful when parking up as the average driver

Just Eat and the like is a very interesting one.
The cut they take from companies is very large. But if you are not on it you are missing out.
On one hand they could be seen as yet another drain on a struggling sector. On the other you could say it is making more independent establishments widely available.
