      Here is a real order from DoorDash recently. The post is exaggerating, but it is definitely a lot once you add all the cost of the fees and tip (spare me snide comments about American tipping culture and just view it as another weird fee we have to pay).

        If it’s anything like bolt or uber, they take 30 percent from food price also (which is hidden from the final consumer)

      We don’t, unless it’s alot of food. So much food in fact that the equivalent sized package would cost more than $10.50 for USPS to take 3+ days to deliver.

      I love USPS but this whole thread makes people look like they’ve been huffing markers all afternoon.

      It’s all a racket here. The cost off the food is typically higher than the restaurants menu price, then there’s an upcharged service fee, separate delivery fee, and tip. So, by the time you’re done, you just paid double for that $12-15 item, and Uber eats is the worst of the bunch.
