Silly money, behaving stupidly.

I feel for the restaurant owners: not only were they forced into accepting the likes of Grubhub as a middle man, that same middleman now also owns restaurants that compete directly with them. If the restaurants have any power at all they should stop using Grubhub right now. I don’t know anyone still using it (which is crazy, Seamless used to dominate NYC).

I sincerely hope the entire thing burns to the ground. The last thing I need in my life is for all the restaurants in my neighbourhood to be soulless, VC operated chains.

I refuse to use GrubHub and not only because it makes a $12 sandwich into a $22 sandwich, but also because small business needs cash. If you're tipping $2.37 on your credit card, kick bricks.

I thought the tips go to the delivery person, not the restaurant?
