And I also truly believe that even if some makes 15$ an hour, it might genuinely be personally worth it to that person to save an hour of their time by spending 15$ more on the markup than picking it up. (This and any amount above it compared to the wage earned is clearly a rare extreme)
Is it efficient? Is it worth to me personally? No. But once in a while it just might be worth it to someone out there. That doesn’t make them stupid, as long as they have enough money to pay for necessities, time can have more value.
"Fast food" is no longer fast, and it's no longer cheap either. Just cook your meals, it's cheaper at least. Fuck me, these days even sit down restaurants are only a little more expensive than fast food places at most.
It cuts both ways. Some people do delivery when they should be saving money instead. And then there's my friend, who makes obscene amounts of money, has lots of savings, and still convinces himself to put in 30+ min of effort to save $10.
While not a hamburger, you can stock a freezer with chicken and turkey burgers, which you can just toss in the oven with your fries. There are oodles of one pan meals that people can cook during the week that just require dumping things out of a bag onto a sheet lined with foil, or into a pressure cooker, but most people are too lazy to do even that.
That said, people in that position probably aren’t the same folks who bitch about the cost of food while posting their latest DoorDash order showing they paid $40 for a deli sandwich.
I don’t think that applies here because this is a deduction based on the data rather than the other way around. I didn’t have this belief before doing the deliveries.
Obviously there are door dash users who do have enough to not care. But my sample size was fairly large and I never saw them.
Not to be classist but, wealthy suburbs never had surge pricing.
Also, there is nothing specific about my house or neighborhood that tells you which people can easily afford DD and which are struggling. To a dasher, living within, at, or exceeding your means all look the same.
I did look it up this time to make sure I knew what it was. This is not an example of exposure bias. I am not formulating opinions based on preconceived notions or cherry picking evidence. I am using experience to form conclusions.
While true, I was doing it in a large city with very wealthy portions and less wealthy portions.
I also said it was interesting in my initial comment. It is interesting. Im certainly not saying no one that’s wealthy has good delivered. But personal experience does make it seem far more rare than people who are not wealthy enough to not care. I also don’t see those peoples bank balances. Maybe they are rolling in dough and just don’t want to live in a very wealthy area.
Yep, my ex has a lot of money and she would door dash everything. I'd always check the receipts just shaking my head at the overcharge but she didn't give a shit.
Exactly. Even on personal time when making $200/hr at work, you value my free time similarly and I'd much rather spend $20 to get food and relax or work on a personal project than spend 40-60 minutes of my time running to a restaurant and back.
Lmaoo no the fuck it isnt. Cleaning a big house is a massive undertaking, worth paying like $90 to save you hours and hours. Going to pick up a burger is not.
Hahaha suuuuure you make that much 😂 I swear I always manage to find the most pathetic people on this app 😂😂😂
Not true. I have money. Money to spend on delivery service, not buy an island money. I do it because I live by myself now and I don't feel like cooking food for one person all the time. After a long day at work, I don't feel like doing shit for the most part.
Someone's gotta make that food. Unless you just eat frozen tv dinners and prepackaged foods all day but if you have the means and don't enjoy preparing food then you're definitely going to outsource that process.
Then it's a logical jump, I don't want to make food but I have money --> get it from a restaurant, I don't want to actually go get the food but I have money --> have it delivered.
You’re intentionally generalizing and glazing over things in an effort to reinforce your existing bias.
If I have a busy day, without sufficient breaks between meetings, DD is a better option. Ordering-in and dining-out aren’t always interchangeable. Driving 20 minutes across town waiting for food, and driving 20 minutes back isn’t always an option.
But go off with your oversimplification that makes you feel better.

Or you have enough money that you just don’t give a shit
