    After delivery fees and tips, that’s roughly a meal for 2 people, plus a dessert. And a drink, which the driver left at the restaurant.

      I cannot, in any way, shape, or form, justify that kind of money on what you just said. Our grocery pickup to get us the next two weeks was $132 and we were being generous this time.

        I knew several people who would have a smoothie or some shit doordashed to work daily while simultaneously complaining they can’t afford food

        Take whatever the price of your food is, multiply it by 1.3-1.5 because restaurants have to make up the 30% they pay the company, then add an extra $30 for taxes, fees, and a tip. Food delivery got boiling frog’d like rideshares after market capture and needing to stop subsidizing post-IPO. Funnily enough drivers are making less than they ever have despite all the price increases, funny how that works.
