Is putting food on the table a high priority?
If it's a high priority, then it's surprising that no businesses are filling this niche.

Here's the idea:

A customer arranges a time by telephone and pays in advance using a credit card. At the appointed time, a vehicle arrives and employees carry food from the vehicle to a table in the customer's home. The employees can even make a photograph of the customer standing beside the table while the food is there. Then the employees carry the food back to the company vehicle and drive to the home of the next customer. It's really quite simple.

stupidity or as evidence of the employees audacity? :shrug:

11. No, and since Tuesday putting food on your family isn't a high priority either.

Unfortunately, there's a limit of one nickname per DU member. Bluesbassman already said "nice post" and already specified that the appropriate nickname for me is "Kramden."

14. Should meds be put on a table before they are taken?

After all, there's a Food and Drug Administration. It sounds as though foods and drugs have something in common.
