They also raise menu prices to make even more profit. I 'll never now somewhat understand why non-disabled people use food delivery apps. It's always cheaper to just pick it up yourself. Even if the restaurant does their own delivery, they still charge a delivery fee and you're expected to tip. Quit being lazy/rich and just pick up your own meal.

    They raise menu prices on these shitty services because they're charged 30% to be on them.

    Restaurants. 20-30% of every sale to be on either of the shitty delivery platforms.

    That makes no sense.

    So if I order, say, Mcd's through dd, and I want a $10 sandwich, dd takes $3 from mcds? Then why is the price higher? That's just dd charging me 30% more for each order for no reason, on top of "delivery fees"which should already BE that.

    It feels exactly the same as the US terrifs thing. It's just raised taxes charged by the US government. But on dd, since they're charging every company that, there isn't even this bs reason of choice to promote domestic business/products... It's just dd triple or quadruple dipping, and hiding it and then lying about it.

    Gah.

    yeah same. i used it a lot when i'm sick or injured.

    but there are people who over-use it. I had a roommate 5 years ago who made about 40K a year, who was spending $500 a month in delivery food... and another $200 in delivery weed. And he talked a lot about how broke he was... this was a guy who also drove to work when his workplace was 10m walk away.

    because it's convenient and time is more valuable to them than money.

    the extra 10 bucks for delivery via app saves me 30-45m of my own personal time.
