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.
Damn. You are trash.
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 grew up poor as well but I sorta also think you’re trash.
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.
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.
You’re right.
People talk about “voting with your wallet” then turn around and dump their hard earned cash into the pockets of rich tech bros while crying they can’t afford it and take zero responsibility for the fact they’re making the choice to eat worse, pay more and have shit like this happen left and right.
If you KNOW something is a scam and you still choose to interact with that yes you are partially responsible and yes you are contributing to the larger problem at hand, sucks to hear but sometimes we need to be honest with our selves so we can make better choices.
