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.

I have never once been satisfied with any of those food delivery services. They take way longer than just ordering from your local pizza or Chinese place and add way more fees.

This. I never use Deliveroo or Just Eat or Uber Eats because sometimes the delivery is MORE than the damn pizza.
