I went to Burger King yesterday and there were signs everywhere for delivery driver positions. Is this happening all over the country? What if other fast food places copy them I don't even want to know what the obesity rate is gonna be in 30 years.

Im really curious to see how this plays out and if they are able to be profitable doing this.

I know I have heard of delivery services in college towns for junk food and stuff for drunk students but this is taking it to a whole new level!

I've always wondered why no fast food place delivered.

A friend and I had aspirations to start up a midnight-5am pizza, taco, and munchies delivery service in our college town.

Here in Honduras is very common for some fast food restaurants to offer delivery service, its been like this for a long time. I'm surprised this wasn't the case in the US.

I live a 2 minute drive from a taco bell. I was craving it but didn't want to get in the car, so I just stayed at home and ate a chicken sandwhich. true story.

*Sigh* looks the the obese will lose all reasons whatsoever to at least make effort in order to stuff themselves silly. Maybe in addition to delivery, fast food places should start adding a complementary service where the driver should feed the customer so as to achieve a superb overall customer service rating.

I don't know. My hometown (in Croatia) is pretty much the king of fast-food joints, with one at every corner and most of them offering delivery, yet almost no one is fat. It has to do with more than delivery (driving to fast-food to pick up the food yourself doesn't consume that much energy, does it?).

Indeed. The availability plays a certain role, but not the biggest one.

Genetically modified and super processed chain food in US messes with the body.

A lot of the fast food joints are open 24 hours in my area.

Na. Im not fat. Sometimes Im lazy. Id call a delivery service if I wanted to spend the extra money and was lazy. Drugs are available in your city. Does not mean millions of people are drug addicts. Thus, the fat will get fatter is all. Shame the person who is fat, nothing more.

Could be a good thing. Maybe more and more of the fatties will just stay at home and never leave. Maslow's Hierarchy and all that.
