If it lets him work an extra half hour he’s the world’s slowest walker. I’m pretty sure I could walk 600 feet in about 2 or 3 minutes? Likewise, most people who work from home are salaried. They get paid the same either way. At least, I don’t know anyone who works from home who clocks out to eat lunch. Even our non-exempt (hourly) employees who worked from home during Covid didn’t have to clock out for lunch. Aside from that, everyone I know who rationalizes “all the time I’m saving” like to pretend they’re actually doing something productive with that time. I’m sure that’s occasionally true. I’m equally sure it’s often not true and they’re just too lazy to go pick it up themselves. That’s fine…but in that case just admit it and don’t pretend like you’ve made a calculated and deliberate economic rationale.

Legitimate question as I've got a much younger sibling that's been talking about it. Had I not just shopped insurance I'd never have wondered, but almost every one of them asked if I was using, or sometimes used any of the vehicles on my policy for food delivery or ridesharing. Is that not a concern if your kid hits somebody while toting a bag of Wendy's or a couple six packs? |

Uber, Lyft, Doordash, they were all excellent in the beginning.
You could catch an Uber across town for less than half of a taxi ride. And the cars were clean, prompt, etc.. Same with meal delivery services. Your order could come out to $20, pay a $5 delivery fee and another $5 for a tip and that's it. Plus the menu prices were the same in store and on the app. Now? Everything is ridiculously expensive. The menu prices are significantly higher than in person, then you have delivery fees, then state fees, then tips, etc.. The other day I wanted a couple of Egg McMuffins, hashbrows, and an orange juice. It was going to cost me $45 with the tip! All of these start up companies are awesome in the beginning. Then they go public, have to answer to shareholders, and the prices skyrocket. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Burnsy: I can tell you where part of this price hike comes from too. It's not even JUST the delivery fees and service fees and then tip on top of all that. It's the price of the product. At least with instacart I have proven it out. I knew for a fact that some meat I wanted did NOT cost what it said it cost on the site were you select the products for delivery. So I took a screenshot and then immediately drove my ass to the same store I was getting the service from to look at the sticker in person. It was in fact....cheaper in person. They were/are price hiking the actual cost of the product, above and beyond all the fees. So at no point during your intense investigation did you see the disclaimer that says "prices higher than in store prices" within the app, and then when you select your store.......... |

We have takeout night at our house. Mostly, I use drive thru's or counter service depending on the place. Only place I did delivery was this one pizza place. Semi-national chain, they had their own drivers. Prompt delivery while the pie was still hot. What's not to like? Then their quality started to slip, then they went to OoberEats or whatever. Biggest complaint was slow. Hour and a half? LOL. Yeah. I found a "new" pizza place. Five miles round drip. Worth it. All them add-on fees? Not worth it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Rugerlvr: So if you go to a restaurant, and buy $50 worth of dinner and have a half-off coupon, you'd only tip on the money you actually paid? That's fucking cheap. The wait staff delivered you a meal worth $50, so you tip on the $50 it would have cost you without a coupon. Jesus, some people. Except the Uber people are delivering $19 of food and want a tip on $43. They want a tip on the taxes your are paying. |

We have a guy who lives a few blocks from my house who used to pick up cans on the side of the road for money. He used to drive around on an old lawn mower. One day I see him driving a new little economy car. It was a nice little car. He said he started doing Door Dash for money because "People are dumb...". He works hard at it and says it justifies having the car. Shoot, he even mows his yard a few times a year now. If that ain't gentrification, I don't know what is.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Rodent: If you are poor in modern America, it's probably because you have a long history of making bad financial decisions. No racism or privilege involved. I am poor. I have never ordered Door dash or Ubereats. I haven't ordered Pizza in so long I don't even know if they do that anymore. I'm poor because inflation is insane and employers are refusing to increase salaries to compensate. I have NOTHING financed and zero luxuries. |
