Online Ordering Is Ruining Lunch for the Rest of Us
Some traditional lunch-goers are starting to find the kitchens' attention divided between them and the online and delivery orders - and it feels the like online orders are winning.
I typically order online for pickup, and encourage my family to read menus and make decisions before we leave the house if we're going to dine in (a necessity thanks to the flightiness of my kids). What started as new pandemic practice has turned into habit for us with restrictions lifted; there are fewer cranky meals out with everyone knowing in advance what they're going to get, and occasionally even locked in with a call-ahead table and food reservation.
Have you changed habits, or are you experiencing changes in your experience because of how other diners are now dealing with their meals?
