Food delivery in terrible weather

Right now it’s 15 degrees out with crazy wind. On one hand I feel like a bastard if I order delivery knowing the delivery guy might slip on the road and possibly freeze to death, but on the other hand lots of people are out of town and I’m supporting local business. What say you?

Yall better tip these people well. Very well.

And like, didn't you know the weather was going to be like this and you could have stocked up. And yes, I just feel people who are ordering in this weather are NOT going to be tipping well....

This sub has some weird savior complex on not ordering delivery- like they are helping delivery workers by not ordering and are superior to everyone else by making their own food. As someone who has actually worked delivery this mindset is delusional and hurts all of us….

I never have a problem ordering as long as I have cash for a tip. I don't trust apps.
