    It’s insane to me that people are willing to pay the exorbitant delivery fees. Whenever I’ve checked, especially lately, it doubles the price even before tip (including things in my immediate area). Uber/Lyft/doordash all want to offset their costs onto both the restaurant and customer. I can’t see that it’s sustainable in the long term to do this.

      It’s not that insane. People pay for convenience. That’s all this is.

      If you’re broke as fuck then I get it but I would bet most people using DoorDash aren’t worrying about their finances.

      If you do it every day for every meal then ya you may have issues.

      Personally I’d rather just hop in my car and pick it up.

        I used to game with a lady who ordered DoorDash constantly and was also constantly complaining about the price and how they were always late and how they could never find her apartment. I didn’t get it.
