I can afford it but refuse to use those services. They inflate the menu prices, add fees. I’m ok with tipping but not the rest of that.
Also, it’s ridiculously inefficient compared to picking it up yourself. It’s not just someone else is doing the drive for you. The delivery does work for the store so there is extra driving occurring, deadheading in trucker parlance.
Are you saying it is inefficient because the delivery driver has to drive from the restaurant to your house with food and then back to the restaurant without food? Because delivery drivers usually take more than one order or at a time.
I understand it for disabled people and I understand it for very busy people such as families with young kids but I don’t understand the majority of people who use it. Just go get it…
Me neither. My daughter’s prior bf had $200 in the bank and ordered Wendy’s from doordash. There’s a strong treat-yoself mentality that says everybody deserves a little luxury and makes it practically immoral to be frugal or contradict the “healthy food is too expensive” gospel etc.
I don’t understand why people use doordash or food delivery.
Especially people with limited funds.
Just when I’m drunk
My ex did, and was of limited funds. I think the answer is depression, apathy, and a good dose of financial illiteracy.
Definitely financial illiteracy.

Going to the restaurant and back is the same distance for you as it is for the driver going from the restaurant and back.

If I’m not at work I’m drunk and I’m not driving to pick up food drunk.
Maybe work on the drunk part? Or at least work > pick up food > get drunk?
