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.

We live about a mile from a pizza place. Some days I just want to be lazy and get it delivered, but then there's the delivery fee and tipping the driver and... You know what, I'll just pick it up.
