Please do not be the person who orders delivery during a flash flood that the NWS has deemed a dangerous and life-threatening situation. It puts vulnerable people at risk.\n\nIf it\u2019s too dangerous for you, it\u2019s too dangerous for them. Raid your cabinets or ask a neighbor for help.https://twitter.com/UnequalScenes/status/1433252530713243648\u00a0\u2026

Ordering delivered food during a flash food/tornado is sickeningly selfish. Think next time about those you put in harms way.https://twitter.com/aoc/status/1433265498507055108\u00a0\u2026

Ordering takeout for funsies during a major storm is a dick move.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1433265498507055108\u00a0\u2026

Anyone who ordered food delivery last night was also a bad tipper, you just know.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1433265498507055108\u00a0\u2026

Maybe also don't be a restaurant that's open and taking orders more importantly? Or a website that's still taking orders? https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1433265498507055108\u00a0\u2026

So many wrong things:\n1st why would the restaurant stay opened?\n2nd why would the restaurant keep take away option available?\n3rd why are people so selfish and order take away while this is happening?https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1433265498507055108\u00a0\u2026

When Vegas was put under a warning for a bad storm that rolled through the dasher app lit up like a Christmas tree. Why do people get told to stay inside and then go oh right now would be a great time for McDonald's. Delivery services need to suspend service during bad storms.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1433265498507055108\u00a0\u2026

This is what is wrong with consumer culture. We only think about ourselves and not working people. Even during dangerous natural events and weather, we're so selfish we're willing to put others at risk just because they service us.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1433265498507055108\u00a0\u2026

Have we gotten so fucked up as a society that someone literally has to tell y\u2019all not to make food orders during a fucking life-threatening storm? Jesus fucking christ! Also, fuck the food apps for not paying fair wages or even caring about their deliverers.https://twitter.com/aoc/status/1433265498507055108\u00a0\u2026

so much to be said about people having to constantly put their bodies on the line for MONEY. It\u2019s ridiculous.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1433265498507055108\u00a0\u2026
