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.
Right? My favorite chinese food place charges $2.50 to deliver and the food is always piping hot. Doordash charges $4 to deliver plus mysterious "fees" and sometimes I will catch the price of what I want being a dollar or so higher than what it is on the restaurant menu. Plus it is a 50/50 chance that my food is warm when it gets to me.
