Food Delivery

Living in the City gives exposure to restaurants on every corner, in addition to deli markets and traditional grocery stores.  But it is the delivery of complete meals, daily to those working in office buildings that is intriguing.  Firstly, it takes thought; the group passes the menu around, decisions are made, money changes hands and phone calls are made. Eventually the delivery person has to appear and gain access.  The plastic bags have to be exchanged for the previously gathered monies.  Are the buyers cheap or do they tip well?  Somehow it appears cumbersome, expensive, and more work than the trouble to eat out.  To say nothing of the lack of ambiance for eating the food, the lack of presentation and the purpose of eating at all, the intermingling of work and sustenance.
