It's a nice treat is the point.

I guess. I usually treat myself by eating at the restaurant. Delievery just isn't my thing, for whatever reason. Maybe it's because I grew up in the sticks, where nobody delivered except for the mailman (sometimes).

there is/was a service called Takeout Taxi that would basicallly deliver from any place that had carry-out. you'd call them, they'd call in the order for you, pick it up, and deliver it to you.

Yeah, you're right I completely forgot about that. They do charge a % of the total bill I believe.

there's tons of little places in clayton that deliver during lunch.

I always find it funny when some guy with 3 bags loaded with food is going up the elevator where I work for delivery. Our floors aren't exactly IDed with each person, so does he have to go to the floor receptionist and be like "uhhhh....is there someone named bob on this floor? He ordered 60 tacos..."

You'll have to do something about that before you answer the door though!
