The concept of ordering “out” has developed leaps and bounds in our lifetime.
Take a look out and you’ll see the variety of takeaways that we can walk into, and the few restaurants offering a walk-out service.
There’s also the plethora of delivery apps that do it for us, now. The menu is on display, the offers are good, and the food is relatively cheap. It’s just a convenient way of getting the best of fast food and takeout you want.
The development of food ordering and delivery is something to marvel at, considering our antipathy toward any kind of innovation that changes even the way we eat food.
I say that in a personal sense because I know that most folks I’ve eaten with have a set preference for what they like. There’s a new trend on and maybe someone will take it up – but that’ll be it for a few months (or years) following.
There are of course lots of development out there that we’ve seen, but our personal use of them differs between us, until we reach the guy who doesn’t want anything different. It is different, depending on how we see it.
In other words, unless you were my friend I would have no idea how you consumed food – or even if it matters to you anymore what you like. It’s our choice to be like that, and it works out for us.
The old tussle between the waiter and the restaurant goer is not a thing of the past, as if our ways of using each others services is always straightforward. The wages aren’t good, and, sometimes, the tips aren’t much better.
It’s the way we get on that makes a good experience, dining out, and also whatever goes in, of course.
