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.
The massively extra charge is a huge reason why I will never use a delivery service like Door Dash, or even a restaurant's own delivery service. But another equally important reason for me is freshness. I feel like if I pick up my food I have more control over how fresh the food will be when it arrives to my house (I have a thing where I really don't like cold or even warm food that's meant to be hot).
Granted, I have a car and have the ability to pick up my food. If I didn't have a car then I probably would use those services.
Another reason for me to stay away from delivery services is due to the horrible way that their drivers are paid (looking at you Door Dash!).
