I’ve lived in coastal tech cities but I’ve never done DoorDash, or Uber eats, or anything by robots. Obviously I’m not the norm with these behaviors but I also don’t understand market demand when I see so many DoorDash vehicles at McDonalds, while the news also talks about how McDonald’s is suffering because they lost the poor income demographic.

I also work from home so going and getting my food, in person, is a welcome respite from my office. But who’s turning a $15 McDonald’s order into a $30 thing, regularly?

People really value convenience.

I’ve tried it a few times but the food is always late, cold, and expensive.

Just the combo I wanted! I fire up my own tank and roll out now if needed.

If you bill hourly, $15 for an extra billable hour is a good deal.
