    As a Brit this seems like such a ridiculous attitude to have.

    When you go out for food you are paying for:

    • Quality ingredients
    • The knowledge and skill of someone to take those ingredients and make a nice meal out of them

    If you’re dining in you also get:

    • A nice place to sit with good lighting and a nice ambiance
    • Someone to bring your food
    • Someone to clean away your dirty dishes

    If you are getting delivery you instead pay for someone to bring it to you.

    The food itself is like 40% of what you’re paying for, the rest is just convenience and atmosphere.

      That’s where we eventually started getting feezer pizzas instead of take-out. Compared to the pain in the ass of ordering food (assuming the place is even open), it was easier just to throw one in the oven, and way cheaper too.
