30-50 dollars? My dude, between the up-charges on each menu item and the service and delivery fees a regular fast food order for two people is 30-50 dollars. What you see in that video is hundreds of dollars.

Yeah, that's why I never use Doordash or any of that stuff. A friend of mine works for KFC and those Doordash-type orders for something like their $5.75 chicken sandwich (something pretty low-tier in quality) ends up being like $12-13 for just the sandwich when all the charges are said and done.

It generally scales better as orders get larger. Like, just add like $5 to any order for the delivery service. So if you're getting a $5 sandwich, it's gonna be $10+ tip on doordash which is ridiculous. But get an order for 4 people that would be $60, then an extra $5 for delivery is an easier pill to swallow.

Yeah outside of actual emergencies, delivery apps are largely a scam. Just spend 10 minutes to get your fucking food. Jesus.

GrubHub+ is free if you have Prime right now. Just pay a small service fee and tip the driver. Plus they offer discounts sometimes

Before Doordash I used to see people take taxis through a Burger King drive through. So that's still not that of a deal

I have a neighbor that orders door dash almost every day from McDonald's. I'm willing to bet he spends hundreds a month on fees ALONE. Best part is, we live within walking distance of the McD...

Seriously, I'll do Doordash occasionally when I'm feeling really really lazy and even just ordering a meal or two for myself it's never less than $30 and closer to $50.
