Pizza Emote - but only for some (Not a well thought out promotion)

[Charon9]

Its a sad fact of our new society that people cannot visualize things outside their own experiences. Yes, believe it or not - not everyone lives in a city or town. Depending on who you survey 25% of the population lives outside these service areas (and yes they game)

The "Grub-Hub+" extended service area (the extra charge area) ends before they get to me; they've never said how far - its 18.6 miles from my home (one way) to the local pizza place - that does not participate in GrubHub. (this extra mileage is calculated because they won't drive down gravel roads). Its 17 miles to the other city that has 1 pizza place (that is a chain franchise (horrible)) and the one (?) gubhub driver that never responds (rumor is that it was "sweet-leaf" hub, and that he is in jail on delivery charges.....seems it wasn't salads...)

Its almost like someone said - how can we fix this release problem. Oh, I know lets do something and not think it through........ ........... in a chain of things that were not thought through (IMHO)

If you're not from US or Europe you stop caring about these things pretty quickly, since they happen all the time.

Do you have any other restaurants closer that you can order from? It doesn't appear that you must order pizza to get the emote, just buy $15 of food before delivery/tip and use the promo code.

Sadly no. The closest gas station is 14 miles. Pizza Hut at 18.6 miles (either direction). Those miles are the same for most take-out places. More upscale take out is even further. Panera (and those types of places) at 31 miles.
Its the price of not hearing booming stereo's / couples fighting / or drunks in the street

I live in the middle of Rural New York state and unfortunately this is the one thing I can’t participate in. I’ll just have to cut my losses, no restaurant delivers using grubhub where I’m at, and I’d have to drive about 2 hours one-way to get to the closest place that does deliver.

Everyone gets to enjoy pizza whilst us small-townies stare, essentially. I miss living in the city.

[SturmChurro]

Yeah, I actually can't get delivery where I live either. I've never used this app, but I find it doubtful it'd be any different. I'm not super far out from a couple towns, but just far out enough.

For that matter, I don't get any results even when I put the zipcode of one of the towns, so I guess it's too small even then. The biggest city I am closest to does seem to have it, but that one is about 40 miles away.
