'Your roommate is lying to you': Crafty college student uses food delivery app to scam roommate out of free food

Food delivery apps are the greatest thing since sliced bread. They're the lazy person's saving grace. It's almost like magic. You imagine a meal, and then with a few clicks on a screen, that meal is there in your arms, ready to be consumed. But like most magic I'm familiar with, it comes at a price. And in the case of delivery apps, that price is… money. Loads of money. It turns out convenience is costly. That's why, for most people (unless you're a Twitch streamer who would somehow lose money by cooking), delivery is a once-in-a-while treat. 

But for one college student, delivery apps became a boon to her roommate relationship in an unexpected way. The following story is an interesting one, full of lies and deceit (but on a pleasantly low-stakes scale). And commenters were divided on what exactly was going on here. Read on for details, and decide for yourself.
