alt Hacker News>using DoorDash ... is a luxury ripoff
I live in a working-class neighborhood and it blows my mind how often DoorDash visits my neighbors (particularly considering there are dozens of restaurants within one mile).
The only time I encourage delivery service is when we're too intoxicated to drive.
I stayed with distant family for a bit around COVID when everyone was WFH. Him and his wife must have gotten 3-5 DoorDash deliveries a day pretty reliably, I was blown away. Each ordering their own thing from different restaurants. Random “I want a donut from 711 at 1am” where I’m sure fees/tip were multiples of the actual food cost. Sometimes the different drivers would arrive at the same time and we’d have a little jam up on the porch.
