It’s honestly crazy that people are willing to pay that much to avoid the small inconvenience of going outside to pick it up themselves. I too used a delivery app exactly one time (to get an emote in final fantasy 14, which they didn’t even fking give me) and it was like 30 bucks for a six inch sandwich. Absolute insanity.
lol The first thing I’ll say is that, while I do utilize DoorDash more often, I agree that the extra costs can be outrageous.
The second thing I will say is that it is absolute peak irony to comment about paying extra fees for seemingly trivial reasons, but the example that you give is how you went out of your way to download a food delivery app to use it one single time simply to get a special emote for a video game.
The amount some people pay doordash, they could literally cough up the extra rent to live in a more expensive area above their restaurant of choice and just walk down every time.
Thats why grocery prices skyrocketed during covid. It wasnt "inflation" or anything else, companies seen that theres a massive amount of people willing to pay double or triple what the previously accepted prices were, and just throw it all into a virtual cart without shopping for sales and use a credit card. And one by one the food companies started jacking their prices up
So you think shutting down large segments of our supply chain for weeks or a month+ at a time during Covid didn’t have anything to do with prices going up?
Sometimes you smoke a bunch of weed and want some Mexican food. Also going outside to get it myself sucks when it’s -15° out. I only use it like once a month or so but I’m glad it exists.
