    Every time

    Every… time? That is just absolutely insane to me. I’ve literally never used that kind of service and I can’t understand how so many people pay so much money for that it

    You must have a lot of disposable income or something

      It’s a mixed bag. Imagine having only three restaurants that deliver to you (and two suck) and then all the sudden you have a whole city of restaurants that are available to you and you hardly ever have time or want to deal with going into the city to do a pickup. That’s my experience. I don’t use it everyday or every week, but it just stinks that when I do it’s very expensive and hey, maybe that’s justiable (freemarket whatever), but to have service issues where clearly zero effort was made to transport the stuff appropriately feels like a real “hehe”.

        It seems like it would be much cheaper and better to just go to the restaurant and eat there instead of dumping money on doordash

            Or like, what if you’re drunk/high and traveling isn’t really an option, but you’re hungry? I’ve never used DoorDash, but it seems like that’s the type of thing that’d get the majority of business.

      It makes more sense if you are actually in an urban area. I get hot food in 20 minutes from the places within a few blocks. I assume the people complaining are out in the suburbs or are ordering food from far away.
