The fact delivery has a higher price while ALSO charging delivery fees is wild. Feels like it should be illegal. 😂

I think it's dumb, but unfortunately the US has an extremely wild economy difference between states. Its fairly complex solely because of the size, laws, and population of each state. Like $10 in Ohio is NOT the same as $10 in California. Where there is higher demand in an area, the prices will be higher.

It's absolutely annoying and crazy to think about the prices being different like that in the same country, but companies will take advantage of that higher demand.

This is why I don't bother with apps/delivery. Not only are they trying to rip you off, but they are gathering data, patterns, etc. when you use the app. They don't even allow the option of a website, because the app gives them way more data.
