1. I won’t even use Door Dash. Sorry … I don’t want any middleman (or middle contraption) getting between my food and my mouth. Gawd knows where it’s been

   1. Exactly. Anymore I very rarely eat anything that I didn’t prepare myself.

   2. After everything from outright theft to couriers spitting onto the food for no particular reason, food purveyors
      in New South Wales now seal deliveries so that they can’t be easily be tampered with by the couriers. The couriers here are almost always foreign-born, by the way; mainly Indian/Pakistani or occasionally Asian…

      1. Same with Canada…I don’t think there’s ever been a (ahem) white person of non colour as delivery person for Uber/Door Dash/…almost always Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, Sri Lankan, etc. the odd Asian resembling Chinese or some such.

   3. I used to laugh at all the people getting stuff delivered because of the dreaded “covid”, as you said Kenji gawd knows where it’s been or how many people have handled it. Nobody thought any further than their own envelope of fear, fools and their irrational fear has really messed up economic activity. Stupid people.

3. That chicken delivery crossed the Rubicon Avenue of common sense.

4. The guy on the bike is the 21st century equivalent of riding shotgun.

   1. Need an armed guard when nuggets cost $2 a piece.

      1. I wonder what city this was in?

5. Why did the Chic-Fil-A cross the road?

   To go from Toronto to Richmond Hill of course……….

6. Serves me right for scrolling down to see what the next panel was about. Gotta learn to leave things alone.

   1. Well that’s a sight not easy to unsee. You need a trigger warning.

      1. Yep, gotta go hurl now.

   2. Ya just had to share that, didn’t you? {{{{{{{shudder!!!}}}}}}

7. Because the guy on the bike costs $20/hr, and they desperately want to replace him with a robot, so they do a bunch of “safety trials” until the Normies get used to seeing robots rolling around town and getting in the way.

   Once the Normies stop paying attention, suddenly all those “foreign student” delivery weenies don’t got a job no more. Cha-CHING baby!

   Personally I think that Normies will go on a robot-hunting campaign, but I’ve underestimated their slothfulness before. Nothing really motivates a Normie but hunger or a beer/smokes shortage. Stupid robots blocking the road, they might ignore it. We’ll see.

   1. I think most normies would leave the bots alone unless the bots started to cause an inconvenience.

      1. Can you imagine the fun of downtown Toronto with thousands of these moronic bots running around in traffic? Think how much it sucks with the electric scooters and bicycle hordes disregarding every traffic rule, but now remove the human drive for self preservation. It’ll be madness.

         Normies will put bot-crushers on their front bumpers and hunt them for sport. Especially all the newly unemployed ex-delivery dudes.

      2. There have been experiments done where people, especially children, just cannot resist messing with the delivery bots.

         Annoying them until they freeze up, stealing the food, foolish crackheads thinking there’s money inside, etc.

         In real car news, US just mandated automatic braking and kill switches.

8. Do Jews get their Chik-Fil-a delivered by Iranian (Obama-Jarrett-Biden funded) drones?
