    No one’s convincing me Americans are so broke when they use apps like this. It’s like the mid-price grocery down the street being bumped off by the new place, most expensive in town and 1-mile further for most people.

    Now our second Aldi has moved into the mid-price store’s building. Aldi’s mostly empty while the most expensive store is jammed SRO. For context, this is a small redneck suburb of a poor city, not exactly bougie.

        Had a 19-yo that wanted to be friends at work trying to buy me delivered food.

        “Dude, no offense, but you’re poor, don’t even have a car and get paid minimum wage. Food delivery is bullshit.”

        He kept doing it anyway.
