      Rich people can, the top 10% currently account for nearly half of consumer spending in the US. The economy is increasingly revolving around catering to that top 10% and absurd door dash delivery charges are part of that.

      The entire concept of DoorDash in a car centric part of the world is mysterious to me. If I’m too drunk or stoned to drive I just go to sleep. I’m not spending $50 on a cold Big Mac.

        Pretty sure $50 is an extreme exaggeration. I would barely be spending $60 on sushi for two after delivery fee and tip.

        Also just buy a freezer meal or whatever a week before. That fast food craving can be satisfied in other ways. Frozen pizza or whatever.

      Many people are way better off than I often think. That’s Germany though, dunno about the US. But here so many people are crazy well off while a also large chunk of the population does live off homebrand stuff not eating out ever.
