My ex did, and was of limited funds. I think the answer is depression, apathy, and a good dose of financial illiteracy.

Definitely financial illiteracy.

I can afford it but refuse to use those services. They inflate the menu prices, add fees. I'm ok with tipping but not the rest of that.

Also, it's ridiculously inefficient compared to picking it up yourself. It's not just someone else is doing the drive for you. The delivery does work for the store so there is extra driving occurring, deadheading in trucker parlance.

Are you saying it is inefficient because the delivery driver has to drive from the restaurant to your house with food and then back to the restaurant without food? Because delivery drivers usually take more than one order or at a time.

That's going to depend on the location. I do not live in a heavily populated area so they are usually delivering one order at a time. The only time there was enough volume to stack orders was during Covid.
