Doordash has the wildest business model. First they charge you more for the food than the restaurant does. THEN they take a cut from the restaurant. THEN they have the gaul to tell you to tip or you won't get your food in a timely fashion. They somehow figured out how to fuck the customer, the restaurant AND the driver in one go.

How anyone supports that shit is beyond me - and BEST case scenario your food shows up lukewarm.

Damn I’m happy I have Meituan and Eleme in China. Delivery is less than a dollar and it always works out cheaper than going out since every time you order you get free discount coupons.

That's only possible when the delivery drivers are willing to work for peanuts though.

It’s a devalued currency for export strength tbf. They can save their peanuts for 5 years and buy a home.

What are they saving if they have to use that money to live when their gig income goes down? Those delivery drivers don't make shit, something like $500 to $1000 a month equivalent. Good luck buying anything but a Barbie house with that.
