Jafflechutes ditches storefront and waiters, uses parachutes to deliver food to customers

The people that think this is a stupid idea have never seen or been to a big city and therefore are not able to comprehend this concept, as someone that works in nyc I believe this idea is excellent, in big cities every restaurant is heavily monitored by a food inspection agency, rent is too expensive so this makes sense and since every business is trying to be more hip this basically complements whats businesses are doing in big cities.

so those of you that live in a farm if u cant understand this concept then keep ur negative opinions to urself

As someone who has been to a number of "big cities" and as someone who doesn't live on a farm, but near a big city, I can say without question that this will be little more than a novelty for all of the reasons stated above.

You see, the problem is not that skeptics don't comprehend the concept. The problem is that everyone, (you being the exception), recognizes that the concept is dependent on the very thing you mention in your child-like response, being "hip".

Now, if you don't understand the problem with being "hip", you've clearly failed to learn anything about the culture and environment you allegedly participate in. In such an event, please refrain from speaking about a segment of the population you are so clearly misinformed about.

As an Aussie, I am extremely proud to read this, what a crazy idea!

Not a hippie but like someone said above, if I was around and saw that, then I'd definitely try it once just for my own amusement. If the food was really good, I'd come back for both the food and the novelty (granted the novelty dissipates over time.

Maybe they should use drones instead

It's a toasted sandwich- how good can it be?

Yeah, and you know how that ends. The local McDonalds institutes a "no fly" zone, Jafflechutes continues overflights, Mickey D's and KFC go onto a war footing, and...

Yeah, good luck turning those with what these Aussies are using. Anything over 1 - 1.5oz of filling and you'll be eating it off the bench.
