    They really do hide the final price until the last second when you’re most committed. They’re banking on your hunger, seeing everything in your cart, and either being so excited you’ll just click the buttons to make food come, or you’ll justify it away.

      This was going to be made illegal in California, but restaurants got an exception added to the law at the last minute. It’s illegal in other industries now though - for example, Ticketmaster’s listed/advertised prices in California have to include all fees.

      Or I’m sick and don’t want to go out or cook. Sucks. But they don’t get a tip when their “fees” are the same cost as the food.

        Doordash fucks over its drivers. The gig economy shifts the responsibility for wear and tear on the vehicle, insurance… It’s also algorithmically driven to fuck them over, to offer them as little pay as they think will get them to take the deal (eg, we know Uber profiles people - people who are poor and desperate get the worse jobs) If you’re going to use the service, tip well. It’s not the drivers fault that it’s expensive.

        the driver isnt the person making the fees. they are getting screwed just as much as you are

        The driver has zero say in what you’re charged and taking away their tip makes you the asshole. Don’t get delivery instead

  There’s a $10 monthly subscription to remove delivery fees and most of the “service fee”, which is much cheaper than paying “full” price on one order, so tricks people into thinking they’re saving money by subscribing.

  People with more sense than money lol, there’s never really a great reason to get Doordash or Uber Eats

    Everybody is drunk, but hungry is a great reason for food delivery.

  It’s to push you into paying for the membership. But yeah they totally rip off lazy people.

  I have a GrubHub membership but only because Amazon was offering a 3 year deal last year. I think they may have bought GrubHub…

  Some places also charge more on the services to make up for the cut the online service gets.
