And yet, it won't keep you from ordering food.
The issue is that there's still demand for it at that price.

Yes. Everyone in the US tells me that people get so much more money three them here in Germany because of the taxes and everything. And then you have to pay $30 for a simple food delivery?
It's part of the propaganda. Richest country in the world, they say, but you pay a lot more for basically everything because there's few government regulations keeping prices in check, and a number of things that are done by the government in other countries are run by for profit corporations here (healthcare).
Although, $10.50 for the mail is pretty pricey. That's no letter that they're sending. I run an Etsy shop and frequently send stuff in padded envelopes through the post office, and those cost me like $4 to send across the country.

You know that product pitch, "if you sell just one to every person in the world you'll be a millionaire." Well, Uber eats is a similar approach, but they can sell a lot of food deliveries until the food arrives cold or it's the wrong order or the myriad problems food deliveries encounter.

DoorDash is a hell of a lot cheaper than catching a DUI charge tho
Normal people have a stocked fridge and are not constantly drunk.
If being drunk seriously affects your shopping schedule, you have an alcohol problem.

It is not that easy for everyone. I for example can't afford a car. And restaurants aren't exactly around the corner. So if i want to get food like that, i have to have it delivered.
How about, you know, a grocery store?
-
"Nothing wrong with ordering food" - correct
But there is something wrong with paying double to have it delivered - it's called wasting money. Do y'all have a lot of money to waste?
I'd rather "waste" some money instead of my time picking it up ... or even worse, shopping and cooking.

Alcohol isn't the only thing you can get a DUI for....there are lots of things that it covers from prescription medication to weed. Anything that negatively impacts your driving ability can potentially lead to a DUI.

Don’t worry, it’s been just two weeks. Elon and his minions are coming for it.
A lot of USPS offices are in prime locations in many cities. The real estate alone is worth hundreds of billions, at least.

And you really think so many people are on these medications that they make up a serious percentage of the market share?
How do all those people get to work on their medication?

No disrespect for the delivery people, but these apps need to tone the fuck down.
-
So I don't really understand why you are paying so much for food?
Looking at the local delivery app, I just now chose a "big Mac mcmenue" containing a big Mac, fries and a 0.5l drink. This would cost me 10,89€, let's say 13€ with a very generous tip.At this moment it seems 13€ are worth $13,48. What are you ordering that costs more than double of that?
-
Almost everyone on uber eats (and similar services) mark up their items. This sausage burrito meal is $10 on uber eats and is 8 something in store
-
Delivery fee 5.99
-
tip (whatever you want to pay)
For a normal meal this will more than double the price. Order just about anything else and you’re easily at $30 with still almost half the price being the delivery.

Who mentioned market share?
-

Genius! Never thought about that!...
I order food maybe 2-3 times a year.
What makes you think i exclusively order food? -
Food was cheap for a long time, and mental healthcare is prohibitively expensive.
Much more financially responsible to eat one's feelings.
-
5 euros is cheaper for delivery than 15 for a train ticket. Its not that big of a deal honestly. I don't know the pricing in america but its not to bad where i live. The food itself is becoming way to expensive though.
I only order food a few times a year so its no problem.

There are a lot of medication you really shouldn't drive on, it's a common side effect, so probably hundreds of thousands if not in the millions
How do all those people get to work on their medication?
Buses, Uber, Family/Friends, medication timing (eg not taking until you get to work and not taking the next dose till after), WFH jobs

75 cents a mile is the actual cost of driving a car.

Or, you know, driving under the influence.

Not everyone is ordering for a single person.
