I ordered a six pack of Irn Bru a couple months back because I live in the US and have no way of trying the soda otherwise
Ok, but do you think the OP was talking about someone like you? I think it's not too generous to interpret the OP as saying: they dislike people trivially ordering things they could've spent some of their own time on collecting instead. Since they mention the timesaving after all. And I feel like they mostly meant the instant-delivery services rather than just ordering something online, but who knows.
I think if you're unable to buy it nearby and you order a reasonable quantity online you're not who OP meant.
See, here's the thing: they made a generalized comment on a screenshot of what looks like an Amazon order. That makes it seem like they're talking about anybody who orders food online, regardless of whether it's Door Dash or 5-7 day shipping. There's no way to tell from that photo whether that's a single can or a box of 30.
And that timesaving comment has the same levels of sarcasm as any "lazy youth" remark.
Besides, if you're willing to pay somebody else a decent wage to deliver something for the convenience to you, what's the issue? At that point it's no different from ordering at a restaurant or deli - pizza places have had delivery drivers for half a century! Should we be upset with people who don't cook all of their own meals?
According to you, I think that's an ungenerous way to read OPs comment. Just Irn Bru would be a strange grocery list.
Pizza delivery is a result of suburban living, more of a necessary evil than a commendable goal imho. I'll just briefly say because I don't know whether you're genuinely interested, but I do kind of think the world would improve from a reduction in paid labor, particularly of the undesirable kind. And that does ultimately come back to a hierarchical valuation of people's labour, if we valued everyone's time equally it'd make little sense to pay for one's own convenience at the detriment of someone else using their time on something worthwhile.
