I don't understand why people use doordash or food delivery.

Especially people with limited funds.

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.

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.

Same!

I grew up poor and had to stretch every dollar. I'm a highly paid engineer now and I still look at a $10 delivery fee with disgust.

And do people not realize that on Doordash, they charge $1-3 more per item? So your $12 pho bowl is $15 on Doordash.

Price discrimination ,how they treat their contractors, and contractors eating your food, fuck that noise.
