The story
On the October 30 broadcast of “Matsuko & Ariyoshi’s Temporary Paradise,” Matsuko Deluxe voiced discomfort with people who order even a single cup of café-style coffee through a delivery app, and Ariyoshi Hiroiki agreed, saying “Same here.” Reaction on 5ch split over the remark, weighing delivery workers’ livelihoods against where to draw the line on what’s appropriate to order — “just buy your own water” clashed with “no need to shame a little indulgence.”
Matsuko Deluxe fiercely slams people who Uber everything: “I could never like that! They should just go broke!”
Personality Matsuko Deluxe appeared on the October 30 two-hour special of TV Asahi’s “Matsuko & Ariyoshi’s Temporary Paradise.” She vented frustration over food delivery services, and co-star Ariyoshi Hiroiki strongly agreed.
The talk turned to how unbelievable it is that some people camp out at cafés for hours, with Ariyoshi shaking his head: “You could just take it to go, you know. Delivery riders keep showing up nonstop going ‘Uber Eats, here!’”

What people said
Exactly, once you're using the service at all, ordering 1 item or 10 doesn't make much difference.
The word "café" is the key part
That's the whole point
for her.
Haha, yeah, I get that.
The rider isn't a slave, he chose that job himself,
so I don't really see the problem.
the driver actually walked it over.
Maybe they had the flu or COVID or something.
Probably.
there are people out there making a living on the delivery side of Uber, after all.
Plenty of people make a living off convenience stores too, and nobody complains about that around here —
bottom line, people are just being selfish.
far from going broke, she just keeps getting more glamorous.
Then don't drink water sold at a convenience store either —
same thing.
Go scoop it from a river yourself.
Is this person's own diet really in a position to judge others???
Can't understand people who eat rice straight out of the kama pot either.
Kamameshi (pot-cooked rice) is literally meant to be eaten straight from the pot.
So many idiots in here.
if I'm home, I just brew my own coffee at home.
Plus you rack up points lol.
Some people just don't get that this isn't only about coffee.
Coffee clearly loses quality once it cools down,
so cheap stuff like McDonald's or beef bowls is better suited for it.
For elderly folks who have the money but no longer have the legs to get around, it's a gift from heaven.
There's no way they chose it because they wanted to —
they're slaves to the system.
How many people do you think actually enjoy the job they do?
>When Ariyoshi agreed with "Same here," Matsuko went on: "Just drink water! Why go to the trouble at home…"
These two always seem like they just agree with each other, like it's a girls'-night chat —
do they ever actually disagree?
When they do disagree, Matsuko tends to go into self-deprecating mode and tell Ariyoshi, "Yeah, you really are the grown-up one."
A heavy user of Demae-can (a Japanese food delivery app).
pretty convenient how you get to draw the line wherever suits you.
She means she dislikes people who Uber things that aren't even a real meal, like a single coffee.
There's an ad saying it's the same price as in the shop.
every celebrity does it anyway.
I'm too broke for any of this myself,
but if I had the money, I'd love to try ordering just a single drink sometime.
If it's just coffee, wouldn't a drip pack do fine?
Well, maybe it's a caramel macchiato or something.
Matsuko's only tough on people like Murakami or the directors —
toward someone above her like Sanma, she's all flattery.
Maybe she's just more considerate toward Ariyoshi, unlike with Murakami on the Monday show.
"Totally get it~"
Background and key points of this debate
Food delivery services like Uber Eats and Demae-can owe much of their popularity to the convenience of being able to order even things you could easily grab at a nearby convenience store. In the thread, posters repeatedly noted that Matsuko’s comment was a complaint about the extreme case of ordering even water or a single cup of coffee by delivery, not a blanket criticism of food delivery in general. There was also a split between those who saw delivery work as “slave-like” and those who saw it as “a job chosen freely,” with the gap in perspective between customers and workers broadening the debate. One piece of background not obvious from the replies alone: Matsuko herself has previously been described as a heavy delivery user, and some posters pointed out the irony of her criticizing something she relies on herself.
