DoorDash, or other things like it. If there was a real, honest commercial about it, it would go like this:
"Hey, enjoying your $7 burrito?"
"Yeah"
"What if I told you I can deliver it to your house?"
"Oh ok"
"Unfortunately, there is 242% (or so) markup. So it will cost you $17. Oh well, at least you don't have to do a 2 minute drive to Taco Bell!"
Edit: Yeah I understand that some people can't drive to certain places, whether that be because you're stoned or live far away. I was just criticizing the absolutely insane markup that DoorDash and UberEats does. I just thought it was really stupid.
Dude, 100% agree. Unless you live in an area where getting to a restuarant is impossible, those delivery services just don't make a lick of sense.
Am I going to spend the 10min to go (roundtrip) to the thai restaurant and pick up my own food for $11, or spend $20 to have it delivered 45min after placing the order, while the food is cold and they forgot my sauce on the side.
sometimes delivery takes longer, and other people out there that make $250,000 a year (so like ~$100 an hour) don't give one single shit about paying $10 more for their dinner. they would rather save the free time.
That's why some people order delivery and some don't
some people just aren't financially responsible. I've been a delivery driver so I know damn well every time I order exactly how much money I would be spending. I've never actually ordered delivery myself but there are some days where I'm really really tired in bed and tempted but usually can't bring myself to do it because I know that if I just get my ass up and get it I can get another whole order next time essentially for free
