On some of those late nights, especially when I picked up Indian food, I'd be hungry enough to genuinely consider this

Nah. Cuz frankly, if you are willing to pay that much for a delivered meal, then you deserve for some stupid bullshit to happen. Door dash would not be able to exist in a world with sane and deliberating consumers. You let them take advantage of you, especially if you know how they work and their reputation.
I don't care at all if someone rips off an evil corporation, steal away, but stealing FOOD from citizens is reprehensible, no matter who it is.
Doordash is an evil corporation that taxes idiots by middlemaning for them. By paying for a meal through them, you are enabling them to continue doing that. They are very literally stealing food from people, but they do it through the margins. Not tryna defend the drivers that do this, but they have to eat too and when you are employed through doordash, stealing probably is the best way to do that.
Damn. You are trash.
Dude has a point. 137 dollars? What the fuck are we doing? Why do we keep doing it? Its not entirely the users fault. But like, I dont use any of these services. They're practically cold food scams.
Is it actually hard to imagine someone ordering food for like 8 people?
8 people on door dash is more than 137, same with Uber Eats. That'd be closer to a 200 dollar bill. My cousin uses it everyday and it has increased his food costs by 40%. Thats insane.
I mean just eating out in general is the most expensive way to feed yourself, does your cousin just not know how to cook?
I personally just have a shit ton of fake accounts so I can cycle through and use the 50% off "new customer" discounts, but trying to do that everyday wouldn't work LMAO it should be reserved for maybe a weekly thing, a treat for if you're drunk/stoned on a fri/sat night
My husband used to order most of his meals through delivery services just for convenience and because he earned enough so could afford it. I had never ordered a meal on an app before so we had very different approaches to it when we met. It led to a bit of friction until we figured out a weekly dinner compromise: 3-4 days of home cooked fish/rice/veggies, 2-3 days of easy home cooked meals like salad/pasta/pizza/frozen bao, and 1 day of meal delivery. It’s still not my favorite but my husband compromised his stance much more than I did so I stay graceful about it.
Idk, but if he does it everyday a shit ton of people are and thats a problem. I see it all over the place. The power of convenience must be immense for a lot of people.
$132 actually.
I just grew up poor and find the level of fiscal irresponsibility involved in ride sharing your meals appalling. Not one of those “pull yourself up from your bootstraps” guys (there are lots of forces that keep people in poverty), but you might aswell be lighting money on fire if you get doordash.
I just keep using their 50% off "new customer" coupons over and over through various means, they don't make a profit as-is and they definitely don't make a profit off me
Taking advantage of their coupons it usually costs about the same driving myself and ordering directly or sometimes cheaper (including tip)
I used to do that with the meal delivery services (like hello fresh) mostly to see where the quality and portion sizes were at. Even when they were heavily discounted the math didn’t math though, I could still go to a grocery store and get more for less. You pay a lot for convenience no matter what when it comes to food.
For meal prep services they definitely charge for convenience but the meal does end up costing less than eating something comparable at a restaurant or delivery. What I liked most about it was the you could indulge in variety with the exact portions already provided so you don’t have to buy a bunch of different spices that accumulate and loose flavor over time. It was also convenient for single serving meals when a lot of ingredients at the store are not packaged that way in the US. Agreed, convenience costs though, for me delivery services were worth the compromise when I was single.
