The biggest thing for me is just how arbitrary the pricing is. If I make an order I know is $8 at the drive through, and it costs $16 on DoorDash, and then there's a $7 fee, and then I have to tip $5, and then it still takes an hour and a half to get to me. Nah. Never that.
I'm learning how to cook now; I make a mean smash burger.
- jlbnjmn 6y agoYeah, the shady/deceptive/misleading/false pricing you mentioned is foolish. ("Free delivery"* after undisclosed $10 platform fee and $4 processing fee.) Destroying tech industry reputations and eroding trust is not a good long term play. It's no better than infomercials touting free products with "just pay shipping and handling". Same sleaze, different generation.
