DoorDash is offering $17 billion to buy Instacart to supercharge its grocery delivery business in what would be a big consolidation in grocery delivery
I’m flabbergasted at the amount of energy their occupation demands of them so much that it makes delivering naan and fries worth the cost in contrast to the time and energy savings it takes to get it yourself. Sounds like people are getting overworked or otherwise anxious. It’s not like people are doing it for the cost savings.
It’s dumber when you consider that cooking is not only fun, but once you’re good at it, it’s really fast and easy to make a way better meal than you’d ever get.
I can make a better smash burger than 95% of the bullshit places popping up, and for a literal fraction of the cost.
I wonder if it’s gotten so expensive to eat out, that the delivery fee doesn’t appear as bad any more (comparatively)
It was 40-fucking-dollars to get two meals at carls Jr. I’ll never go there again and would rather buy local than a chain, but even another $10 wouldn’t look too bad for delivery
I don’t do delivery so idk what the actual cost is
Flabbergasted that people will pay so much to have McDonald’s delivered.

Lots of people struggle with things like dishes, which makes things like cooking not realistic or fun option. And getting out of that rut is hard.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but depression is only made worse by overspending on luxury food because you couldn’t do dishes.
Yup. Lots of depressed of these days.

its usually well off people using these apps.
it’s mostly tip, and tip is optional.
if you pay them a monthly free, like 10 bucks, you get no delivery fees. if you order like twice a month, it pays for itself.
you also often get coupons, discounts, etc. i use these services because I can get $50 in food delivered to my door for like $25.
they will pay to have a single boba drink delivered to them.
