I can only imagine what it must be like to have enough money that you are not meticulously scrutinizing every purchase to see if it's the most value and stretch your limited budget as far as you possibly can. When I first checked out DoorDash and saw what I would normally pay only $8 for was going to be $30 delivered, I was already over it.
Right? Like I'm gonna pay that much for cold food when I literally rent a kitchen?
What's crazy is that all these food delivery apps are barely breaking even. They're still in the "disruption" phase where they're trying to offer the service at a really low cost to capture market share. $30 for an $8 item to be delivered is actually their introductory price!
