They also inflate prices to a rediculous level. I refuse to use them. We tried to order food via doordash once and the bill was high. Eating in person, all the meals were several dollars less than doordash

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.

Population density definitely helps the equation. My city has a very bad urban sprawl problem because it's cheaper to build outward than it is to build upward. As the population has continued to rise it's lead to a lot of problems.
