Odd to think if you can't afford food now you could afford it later plus interest.

Also odd to think people can put off eating until they have the proper funds.

I am talking more about the people lending the money, not sure why they think this would be sound lending. People will do far worse then default on a loan to keep eating.

Oh, I guess I was assuming the vast majority of these folks (I'm one of them actually) are using credit cards, so the loaners don't really know ahead of time.

I can't open the article (forbidden) but I am also assuming this is about the new DoorDash and others eat now pay later crap.
