It's been years since I used DoorDash, so I don't remember: Are you saying they don't charge any fees other than the (inflated) price of goods?

I'd rather the price of goods be fixed, and they tell me what the delivery fee is.

Generally, they inflate prices (or take some % from the restaurant, so the restaurant has to increase prices).

And have a small delivery fee.

And have a small “city wants DoorDash to pay its workers fairly, so it’ll charge you an arbitrary amount extra” fee

And a bag fee.

And sales tax.

And a tip

Oh and don’t forget the service fee.

I’m not kidding, this is from a recent receipt. There are 6 fees PLUS the cost of the actual food.

Other delivery platforms are similar
