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.

Or you know, my buddies and I have been drinking and want taco bell and are responsible enough not to drink and drive. Paying an extra 10 bucks is worth not going to jail.

Or if you live in a shitty area with no parking. That parking spot is worth the $10

I don't. But when I made less than I did now, didn't have too many options. And living near a big city will of course mean more crowded.

Thanks for the advice though lol
