I didn't mean to suggest that people should be able to afford to eat out, I meant, if you have the money to spend on a bunch of take away, then why not just go eat at the store?

Maybe you're suggesting that take away is cheaper than eating at a store?

Ah, makes sense now. Eating out usually is more expensive than getting a takeaway delivered - maybe not a like for like on the main but it’s usually once you add a couple of alcoholic drinks. You’ll get charged for a glass of wine what you’d pay for the bottle at home.
