Would you order delivery Chinese food in the middle of a terrible blizzard?

...assuming the restaurant is open, of course.



I know this isn't the section for this but I'd like answers from people I would consider my peers, instead of a bunch of kids playing on the computer. I usually get the best answers in here.



It seems to me that the Chinese food restaurant I usually order my delivery from is ALWAYS open and delivering. Would you order a food delivery (from any place) knowing full well that the delivery person would be putting themself in imminent danger.



2nd question - if you did order food and the delivery person got into an accident on his way to your home, would you feel guilty or just see it as an "oh well, it was his choice to work today, I just utilized the service being provided" kind of thing?Would you order delivery Chinese food in the middle of a terrible blizzard?
No I wouldn't order delivery takeout during a blizzard. If I wanted to get something, I'd drive there myself. Or I'd make do with what was in the house.Would you order delivery Chinese food in the middle of a terrible blizzard?
I might attempt it if the restaurant was open. Might not be a good idea, but when weather is bad many don't want to go out. Of course, most restaurants are closed as well, but if it were open I might order.



I don't know what kind of tires they have for delivery as to 4 wheel, etc.



If the person got into an accident I'd feel bad about it just as I'd feel bad about anyone who was hurt. However, I am not sure I'd feel guilty as it was a business open for business and I was helping the business and the employee who may have needed the money.



I am not sure I'd order at all but I'd not expect them to be open either. yet if that was what I wanted, I might call them to see.
you may well place a order whether it would be delivered is open to question . will the restaurant want to risk it if he does the onus is on him .

if he thinks its not possible he should say so or ring you back.

if he did send the order and the driver had a bump the onus is still on the driver .

so your not to blame either wayWould you order delivery Chinese food in the middle of a terrible blizzard?
no, i have respect for people who work at food places. and im not that rude to come in or order food during those days when they shouldn't be really working at all but greedy people keep buying things. i just sit at home until the weather gets better. and i don't want anybody out in that bad weather.
If there was nothing else to eat and/or you really wanted chinese food I would order. Just give him a big tip and thank him/her. And I would be sad but that is their job to deliver food. If they didn't want you to order food they would be closed. Your thinking about this too hardWould you order delivery Chinese food in the middle of a terrible blizzard?
If I needed food and if they were willing to deliver it, I sure would!



But I ALWAYS-ALWAYS-ALWAYS give them a good tip (they BRING FOOD to my house!) and it would be even more in a snowstorm.



I would leave the decision up to the delivery person anyway.
I may be an ****** but I not only would I have.



If he had an accident and didn't get my food there on time I would still give him a tip.



I also wouldn't be upset if I called and they said, "Sorry no deliveries because of the weather."



Life is or at least should be about taking personal responsibility.
If I wanted it I would order it, and if the delivery person had an accident, I wouldn't know, I would just be wondering where my order was.
Share the Chinese food?
of course. you are paying outrageous prices for DELIVERY, not for their crappy rice.
Yes, I'd order along with thinking "That guy's gotta be crazy to be driving around in this stuff."
Well what do I know? I'm just a kid playing on the computer.
I would order. It's their decision whether to deliver or not.
No I wouldnt........And lets hope (James) above gets his next meal spat on by the whole takaway staff.
I would only order it If I knew it was one of the above a...holes!!!!!!
I went through this same thing in December 2009. It was the first night of a two day blizzard and I had the mean munchies.. I knew that the Chinese place that I order from is open very late and willing to go out of their way to deliver to my house (about 10 minutes away.) I ended up calling and they were open. They took my order and then called back within two-three minutes and told me that it was too far. I guess they used their own judgment on that one, haha. I would feel bad if the person got into an accident but I feel if they are unable to perform the duties that their job require during a blizzard, they should just close their doors or stop service.
I would have no problem ordering it, and I would have no problem laughing my *** off if he got in a car accident and died on the way to my house
