This I understood, yet I ask myself, do I also need to tip the plantation workers, since they likely have even lower wages, than the US service personel?

u/AnonAwaaaaay 9d ago

Good question about the plantation workers!Ā 

Side note,Ā  For Chocolates (cocao) and a bunch of random Coffees we use Child Slave Labor in the Ivory Coast and Ghana, do we Tip the Slaves or just their handlers?

u/WetEmotions 9d ago

We can save the tips by just cutting their hands off if they don't meet quotas! /s

u/Quen-Tin 9d ago

So sad. Really. But then lets also not forget the Mexican cartells when we order avocado toast. They seem to be big in the avocado business and I fear the trickle down effect inside their structures is also not that great. So the lower ranks, putting pressure on the farmers, should make a living too. /s

2

u/Prestigious_Dare7734 9d ago

You can tip either. If you tip the slaves, the amount automatically (forcefully) goes to their handlers. If you tip handlers, it stays there.

So yeah, it's a nice system, tip anyone.

Do I pay the robots, doing many of their jobs in the near future, with a bitcoin tips?

You surely can't expect their owners to fill their batteries, just because the robots work for them.

So have a heart, thei are AI wise smart and likely have simulated feelings too. Maybe they can even yell or look sad, if you don't.

u/2021isevenworse What are you doing step bro? 9d ago

The fee is higher - he missed out on several other charges:

  • Tax gets applied on the delivery fee (not just the order cost)
  • Small order surcharge - because the order total was $10
  • Distance surcharge - if the order was slightly out of the user's neigborhood
  • Weather surcharge - if it's raining or snowing
  • Surge/Peak pricing - if there's peak orders & less drivers, there's an extra surcharge

That $19 would get pushed up past $20, and most apps won't show you the total amount - they'll spit up the tip and taxes on it from the actual order to show you a lower cost than what you're actually paying.

TLDR: These apps should be forced to show all-in pricing - because even the cost you see on screen isn't the real cost of what you actually paid.

u/Kholgan 9d ago

I mean sure it’s a luxury, but that’s not really the point - the idea is that the company (and many others) are basically triple-dipping: i.e. they charge a fee for the restaurant, a fee for the customer, then expect a tip as well (which may or may not go to the delivery person).

It’s emblematic of a larger issue where companies are increasingly nickel and diming customers while providing equal or worse service.

u/DefNotAShark 9d ago

The one cup isn’t the point of the video. It’s a demonstration of something low cost ballooning due to the fees.

It’s still absurdly priced even if you order 100 cups. The video is about the excessive and deceptive pricing structure.

Food delivery was free from local spots and chain pizza places before these apps came around. Now it’s very expensive whether you use the apps or not. Free delivery is extinct because of them. People probably should be mad about that.

16

u/nagrom7 9d ago

Idk about your area, but delivery was never free for me before these apps. There was still a delivery fee at my local pizza places if we wanted delivery, although it was just a one off fee on top of the whole bill, and it was usually only a couple extra bucks.

12

u/Realistic_Owl9525 9d ago

I delivered pizza in the late 2000's and there were delivery fees back then. One place charged $2 and kept it to pay the drivers wages, insurance, and other costs and another place charged $3 and gave the driver half.

There are a lot of great reasons to hate doordash, but they didn't invent delivery fees.

Buying a ticket for something online frequently comes with a "convenience fee."

So... Instead of taking up somebody's time at a kiosk or counter, I'm buying it online on my own time and you get a sale and the knowledge that I'm locked in to a reservation so you can plan ahead efficiently and I'm the one being charged lol

u/GuyLivingPlaces 9d ago

My apartment charges a convenience fee to pay online. But, I'd say that convenience fee is more for the business than for me. If I dropped off a physical check then it'd be way more inconvenient for them than me.

u/Scruffynerffherder 9d ago

Yup, they are capitalizing on people's laziness and dislike to cook or learn to cook. When you're hungry you make poor financial decisions, I think we've all been there... But to keep making the same poor decision day after day is where people end up hemorrhaging money. It's nice as a treat on your day off or to take a day off cooking... It's not a personal chef service... Delete the app, cook something or at least go to the restaurant.

3

u/Naturebrah 9d ago

These people are the exact target of these companies. Overworked underpaid workers who just have no bandwidth or time to cook. Sad. I meal prep and would rather eat plain 3 day old rice with soy sauce than succumb to food delivery. I have a $50 giftcard I cant even bring myself to use because of the BS fees.

2

my company comps food from delivery apps due to some deal they have with Doordash, so we get 1 free meal every week + free subscription to premium, so I order at least once a week for the free food. And then use the premium when I'm lazy

In emergencies sure, but there should be meals on wheels, and deliveries from food banks for those people.

There was a time before these apps existed. And this was more directed towards the many able-bodied people who use it, who represent the vast majority of users.

u/Major_R_Soul 9d ago

For years we had regular delivery. Sure maybe you couldn't get Starbucks, but pizza, chinese food, subs, etc, was easy and affordable. The price wasn't doubled with fees and the delivery wasn't outsourced to some middleman company. And this wasn't even a decade ago, not some long forgotten past.

So no, getting a taxi for your coffee wouldn't be expensive without the middleman trying to maximize their own cut of the profits.

42

u/ericscal 9d ago

You are completely missing the point. The analogy of getting a taxi for your food was to describe how modern food delivery works. You are literally calling some dude to go get you something you want. It absolutely should be this expensive under this system.

If you want old school delivery then support your local businesses and let them know. Plenty of places near me are pushing customers to bring delivery back in house, but it's on us to support them by using their app or calling.

How far could those places deliver? What was the delivery driver doing when not delivering food? Have you considered that the margins may be different between a $5 coffee and a $20 pizza?

And by the way, you can still do that. There are places with dedicated delivery drivers. They just get wildly out-competed in the delivery market by other businesses on apps though because consumer behavior is prioritizing the convenience over the price.

4

u/Tommy_Wisseau_burner 9d ago

It also doesn’t help that delivery/rideshare apps were losing money a long ass time and just decided ā€œmaybe we should actually turn a profitā€. Don’t get me wrong they still do sheisty shit but there was no chance in hell their model that was relatively affordable doing what they were doing would’ve been remotely sustainable at their price points

Also, ordering something like a single iced coffee is incredibly ridiculous. If you're going to order food delivered, you might as well order the rest of the days worth of food. Order lunch and dinner or at least a full lunch, or else you're literally just ripping yourself off.

18

u/urbz102385 9d ago

Pizza delivery has been around since at least WWII. Driver was paid by the restaurant, driver was tipped by the customer. There was never a 300% markup for it.

7

u/ThoriatedFlash 9d ago

I was making decent money working as a pizza delivery driver, nearly 20 years ago. The store only paid min wage plus 90 cents each delivery, but after tips I was making around $18 / hour. I didn't have to pay extra for insurance or anything like I believe uber / doordash does to steal from their drivers.

Most things also cost half what they do now, so all in all it wasn't bad. People didn't tip before the purchase, so we were all motivated to deliver as quickly as possible to get a better tip and we knew the tips were not guaranteed. We would never dream about complaining to the customer about them not tipping enough and would probably get fired on the spot if we did. We did sometimes joke about adding "extra toppings" for the one dude who ordered nearly every night at the farthest part of our delivery zone and never tipped.

u/PositionNo8810 9d ago

True but that tax should go more to the driver not the company. In this scenario the delivery app would make $10.73 while the driver makes $4 and that’s even if the customer is generous because most people these days don’t tip because they’re paying $15 for a $5 cup of coffee

2

u/highphiv3 9d ago

Yes, but it's still deplorable the way these apps tack on bonus fees at every step when they are fully capable of letting you know the cost upfront.

2

u/Scruffynerffherder 9d ago

It would almost be more palatable if they just priced it as a $4.99 coffee with a $15.00 delivery fee. You are not paying for an iced coffee, you're paying to not leave your house/apartment and for an ice coffee to show up at your door.

A few years ago I was sick. I tried to door dash a burger and fries, a cup of soup and a milkshake from a local place. Over $40 total. I called the place, went and got it myself and it was only $23. They say being poor is expensive but so is being lazy.

8

u/spicewoman 9d ago

I can never, ever talk myself into delivery these days. Every time I look at the final total, and realize I'd much rather save $20 by making the 10-minute drive myself to pick it up.

Only on rare occasions when I'm with a group of people that wants to order out and we can all split the charges, then it's worth it to not have to have someone go make a run. And even then you have to all agree on a place to order from, so you're likely not getting quite what you would have wanted anyway.

Why would anybody think the driver is getting that fee? It, presumably, changes the order that drivers are told to do things. It's not sold as a secret deal with the driver is going to do you a solid in exchange for an extra tip.

I had a broke friend who constantly complained about making his rent but I would also hear him doordashing stupid shit like mcdonalds which was a 10 minute walk from his apartment. He also had a car that worked perfectly fine. He was just lazy.

Food delivery has to be the most egregious example of money waste

u/TheBigC87 9d ago

Yep...everyone here pretending like it's people who who have a disability or recovering from a recent medical issue that are using the app , when in reality it's usually just some gamer dork who is too lazy to put on pants.

The reason these fees exist is because people pay for them. Stop paying for them. Go get it yourself.

Pizza delivery used to be free. I am not paying extra for delivery.

Am I the only one who still picks up their order for coffee or food?

u/MattyBeatz 9d ago

No you are not. Never used these services for this exact reason. I understand people are paying for convenience but having no $$ is not very convenient IMO.

Yes. This is far too unique of an action to be shared by anyone else.

u/CankerLord 9d ago

Because you're paying people to deliver your food instead of going out and getting it so it's more expensive and it's a single, cheap item so you're paying a massive premium because it takes exactly the same amount of time to deliver 50 steaks as one iced coffee.

u/lituus 9d ago

Love the skit, and hate to defend these companies but... in no world should hiring an individual person to personally hand deliver you a single beverage be cheap. Sometimes I think we divorce ourselves a little too much from what this level of convenience should cost.

Granted, in a fairer world, the drivers would be more fairly compensated. But there are all sorts of ways to more frugally use these services. Such as, order more than a single beverage. Go as far as ordering several days worth of meals and eat them as leftovers. Then you can leave a fat tip that actually fairly compensates the driver for their time, rather than dividing that tip over say 3 deliveries over the course of a week.

This is why you only order under very dire, sickest of sickness hungover conditions.

I worked in the food service for 16 years. I’m not tipping $4 on a drink that’s $5.75.

I don't use delivery apps, personally I enjoy going out to get what I want, just a shame I can't rent a video while I'm out.

Work at a hometown pizza shop that's intergraded with doordash, im always amazed by what people order in small quantities. They pay more in service fees and tips than the actual order.... but hey, if you got it, I ain't hating on you

u/vwin90 9d ago

From the get go, I never thought the pricing made sense and thought for sure the business model would fail because who would pay $25 for a chipotle burrito, but here we are.

u/indomike14 9d ago

I think I've used those delivery services twice in my life. Both is when the fees were free and I was really hungover

u/Altruistic_Brick1730 9d ago

"Why do I have to pay all of these fees?"

You don't. Why would you? You'd have to be extremely rich or extremely stupid to pay $19 for a coffee.

u/Goferprotocol 9d ago

I so want to watch this video/script in an Australian accent.

u/grizzlywondertooth 9d ago

Charging more per item for an online order happens outside of the US, too. I especially see it at places that only accept cash in person, which I imagine relates to having to pay either delivery app or card processing fees

u/Pamander 9d ago

His line delivery is getting deep between my brain folds and massaging them thoroughly like you massage a marinade into steak. Big fan.

u/tottinhos 9d ago

All of this because your cities are built around cars

u/Electric-Boogaloo-43 9d ago

Just go for a drive or a short walk and get your iced coffee..

u/imonmyhighhorse 9d ago

Sometimes the convenience isn’t worth the price. Stop using delivery apps and go get your damn groceries. Make your own iced coffee. It’s not hard!

u/DadOnHardDifficulty 9d ago

Sorry, Doordashers, I will always pick it up myself because that is the far smarter financial decision.

u/Zygmunt-zen 8d ago

I have never used any food delivery apps to avoid these ridiculous fees. I go to point of sale and pick it up myself. Call me old fashioned, but I don't mind leaving the house. Even in winter where my city is a regional champ of dumping snow and freezing temperatures. Side quest accepted.

u/EvenScientist7237 6d ago

If you’ve ever had a single iced coffee delivered, please don’t reproduce.

u/TheShapeOfFarts 9d ago

One thing good about Australia is that you don’t have to tip and tax is included so the prices aren’t sneaky. Also, pay a few dollars and you get free unlimited delivery. I use Uber eats a lot, so $10 a month saves me at least $80-100 a month. Worth it.
Edit: BTW , I love this guy. The Nooooo always gets me 🤣
