At some point we went from Going to Getting. Instead of "going to" a restaurant, you're "getting" restaurant.

The whole verb of "getting" is obligatory consumerism without enjoyment. It is quintessentially American.

People in the upper class gorge themselves on the exploitation of the workers, and they still hate their lives.

Getting X has more to do with not eating there than specific things about lack of enjoyment. "Going to a Chinese buffet"

"Getting Chinese takeout "

I think you're reading too much into this.

I think you are a little confused on the meaning here. In this context "getting" just means take-out or something you ordered and will be delivered to your house.
