[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The delivery apps - and in fact all similar apps (Uber, Instacart) - are extraction capitalism at its finest. I was recently postpartum and begrudgingly ordered a couple of DD/Uber Eats meals. The fees charged are absolutely outrageous: one meal whose ticket price was $50 became an $80 dollar meal after the service fee and the delivery fee, plus tax and tip. Just get your own food or get delivery from restaurants with their own drivers. Stop enriching tech bros at the expense of these drivers - who are not getting paid equitably by their employers - and customers![/quote] I stopped using UberEats. I realized how much I was relying on it and was disgusted with myself. These apps are terrible for our wallets and our waistlines. Also, just because we can order any kind of cuisine at any time with the touch of a few buttons, it doesn't mean that we should. Lunch used to be a sandwich or leftovers, some raw veggies, a piece of fruit. And that was perfectly fine. Suddenly we feel that we need a restaurant meal every day. It's just too much of a good thing. The excess and entitlement makes me uncomfortable. [/quote]
