  • Honestly, it’s 9pm so unless the store is 24 hours (and even if it is) then they’ll be trying to close down a clean up and get things ready for the morning shift which starts early.

    When I worked at McDs years ago a few big orders deciding to sit in the restaurant around 9pm could mean the difference between getting to go home at 12:30 and getting an OK nights sleep vs getting to go home at 2:30 and getting a terrible nights sleep before they might have to come in at 10am the next day.

    You could argue that if they didn’t want customers at that time then they shouldn’t be open - which I would agree with - but obviously the low level grunts making your food don’t get to make those decisions.



  • Quick PSA: they don’t currently block VPNs, so you can sign up for an account in a cheap country (I picked Nigeria) and use a foreign currency debit card (I use Revolut) to get Premium for like £1.50 a month for my entire family.

    If they close that loophole then I think I’ll be done with it, the ads make it basically unusable these days.








  • 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.
