    Fast food home delivery

    BK home delivery?

    Makes me wonder if the pizza joints are letting the burger joints have some of the cash flow in delivery.

    But then again in China KFC has "宅急送" which, translated literally, means "hurried delivery to the house at which you reside". Though I'm not sure about the distance they limit themselves to, but they are quite speedy, and not too expensive to have delivered, so a lot of people I know do request delivery.
    But if the store in question is actually within 10 minutes...
    Was it 10 minutes walk or 10 minutes drive? I didn't catch that, and I'm too lazy to open it again.
    If wishes were dogs, beggars would be bitten...

    It's ok, because nobody actually eats at Burger King. Now if it was McDonalds or something, my faith in humanity might be lost.

    Yeah, we have a service that delivers to your house from almost any restaurant in a 30km radius. They'll also bring cigarettes, milk, bread, snacks- and even wine if you tip the driver heftily enough.

    Don't judge me, at least I'm not driving and drinking.

    DuKane, you get the Army delivered to your house? Hmmm, that seems kinda dangerous.

    Belize is blessed. We have none of those. Not one.

    Every morning about 11 a fellow passes the house selling fresh-made tamales (a dollar-fifty) and tamalitos (fifty cents each), boiled corn (fifty cents), fresh coconut cup cakes made from real coconut (fifty cents), and your choice of fresh orange or lime juice (a dollar for one litre).

    Bananas in the shop across the street are eight for a dollar, and remember that the exchange rate is two for one, so that's eight for fifty cents in U.S. money. Fresh large pineapples are a dollar.

    I've decided to walk to my favourite taco stand for lunch. That's a five minute walk. Fresh-made chicken or pork tacos are three for a dollar, or burritos are a dollar-fifty each. Two burritos or four dollars tacos constitute a big meal. On Saturdays I walk three short blocks (each about half the length of a typical U.S. city block) to the tortilla factory and buy a pound of fresh-made tortilla and a pound of pibil - pork wrapped in banana leaves and baked in a covered pit of hot coals. That's expensive - 12 Belize dollars for a pound of lean roast pork cooked with traditional seasonings.

    Delivery? Damn, I thought we were getting lazy when I realized that Dunkin' Donuts had a drive through...

    We have one near here. Sadly the Krispy Kreme with the drive-through closed down. Though I suppose I'm 80x healthier than I would be if they hadn't

    Dukane, I haven't been living under a rock, exactly, but this is a fast food joint that already has a drive-thru. I would agree that if you physically could not get out of your home because of being unable to wheel yourself out and about, then I would agree the delivery service is needed for you. But other than that, you are lazy for not going to the resturant and dining in or carrying out the food. I walk in and eat my Whopper in my local BK. and if I wish to take my food out, than that is my decision.

    ...personally, wouldn't touch that stuff even if they paid me. Not sure if the video is true but (IMO) the fat/sugar content of most international fast food joints is highly addictive and not too good for you.

    I'm going to eat at McDonald's every day for the next week just to spite that woman. Man, is she awful.

    She looks at the difference and sees poison. A food scientist looks at it and marvels.
