TMOG 01/10/23 3:56:52 PM #4:	You started during a pandemic where nobody was leaving the house and they were ordering delivery for everything. 2020 business for Doordash and other services was way, way higher than the typical business was. Also, as mentioned above, it's insanely fucking expensive to order via Doordash and ultimately not worth it. <cite>TMOG posted [p:970755570] in As a drive...

The_Top_Crusader 01/10/23 7:33:09 PM #16:	I still use those services once in a while, but only if there is some promo. Seems like Ill get 20% off every month or two. Even then, its more expensive than picking it up myself, but at least makes it reasonable. Plus, when it first started around here in 2020 most restaurants kept their DoorDash prices the same as in-store, now almost everyone has jacked them way up, plus surcharges/tips. When it was basically just Ill tip the driver instead of waitress and pay about the same it wasnt so bad. --- https://imgur.com/09qFfLV <cite>The_Top_Crusader posted [p:970760224] in As a drive...

JuanCarlos1 01/14/23 10:23:45 PM #25:	2020 I had all the stimulus money saved so I didn't mind ordering out every other day. Now that money is gone. The item I used to order is a few bucks more expensive and we're heading into economic uncertainty. But it was really all about ppl being in their houses. How is this even a mistery?
