My wife's aunt owned a sushi restaurant and definitely gave the better quality sushi to people in person on purpose, and used delivery to get rid of the lower quality fish. She was also kind of a bad person though in other areas of life so your results may vary.

> also kind of a bad person

That just seems like good business, since takeout sushi is always worse, even if you start with the same quality at the store. It's still just as edible and safe, and the takeout recipients know to expect a little lower quality. Conversely, people eating in expect the best quality. Sushi is always only the best quality fresh off the ice, not in a container a few minutes later.

I don't see how this reflects on her as a person, bad or good, at all. It's just good business practice, while not letting the fish spoil.

Not agreeing with it, but it seems like natural human behavior to prioritize those in your presence that could complain/compliment you where as online orders are faceless and reviews don't seem to have as much impact these days. The classic dream of the restauranteur isn't exactly selling a lot of takeout orders either.

Do you mean fish she wouldn't serve to in-person customers even if delivery didn't exist? Because otherwise, that sounds like pretty reasonable prioritizing.
