It's fine to not order stuff online yourself. Preventing others from getting what they ordered isn't.
She should find a hobby which isn't purely about annoying her environment. Want to be an activist? Well, United Healthcare still exists...
Y'all won't stop supporting fascism otherwise.
Do you really think the person whose food doesn't arrive will regret ordering from a robot and will then elect to stop ordering takeout?
I think they're more likely to end up being against the people who got in between them and their food.
What she's doing somewhat parallels protesters who block the freeway. Sure, it creates awareness, but drivers are just trying to get home, get to work, pick up kids, etc. I don't think it would endear any commuter to their cause.
They might complain, they'll definitely call whoever took their money and demand answers.
They'll be told their order was held up because someone messed with the robot delivering their order. They'll maybe ask why a person couldn't have done that job. Maybe they'll ask if a person would have just sit there being blocked by some random lady instead of just going around her or taking a different route.
Customer service won't have an answer for them, and next time they go to order food, they probably won't use Uber eats.
I think that's incredibly idealistic. I imagine the customer more likely demanding better pathfinding.
If you never get your food, I guess you'll stop, no? Y'all won't stop otherwise, it seems.
My reaction to the accusation and general stance is that I would absolutely not want to defend you if someone steals your stuff.
Btw, I don't see how making people hate you helps you achieving whatever your actual goal is.
I'm tired of people coping themselves out of responsibility, stop feeding the systems that are trying to enslave or discard us. Is that such a difficult thing to do? Stop empower our mutual economic abusers. If you suffering is what to takes to get passed your coping and excuses, so be it.
