"I can tell you that the people that are doing it aren't the people who are coming here because they're looking for a sandwich because they're hungry," said Ravi Ramberran, "It's the people who are not afraid of consequences period."

In the wake of the increase in dine and dashers, Ramberran said his restaurant has ramped up how they deal with it.

"We blast them on Facebook, we hold them, we make them wait for the cops...We do what's in our power to do."

I don't think its that. I think selfish attitudes are rampant today and people today care more about what they can do for themselves regardless who gets hurt. Everybody is an other who doesn't matter if they suffer consequences of someone else's actions

So "A plague of selfishness"? Really?

[–] Wilibus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't call it a plague of selfishness.

Society has certainly stopped looking fondly on those who go out of their way to help others though. But it goes further than that if you expend effort on something you don't have to, you are looked at as having made a mistake.
