Total sense

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?
-
yes! it is a SERVICE Americans already pay for in taxes, the need to make a profit on it makes no sense.

A letter doesn’t cost as much as overpriced food.

I thought they were taking the piss with the $30, is that for real?
I used to live in Morocco and I paid about $3 a month for free deliveries with their local equivalent.

And somehow USPS can still pay their couriers more.

Sorry mate, it's just the Americans that are fat
As an American, I can tell you it's true, and we don't realize it in large part because portion sizes in the US are crazy. A medium-sized beverage here would be a large in most other countries. Restaurants traditionally serve huge portions of food, supposedly originally so that no matter how big your appetite, everybody would get enough to eat and have leftovers to bring home. But now people just eat it all.
Add in all the sugar that's in our food (thanks to a health propaganda campaign that convinced people fat was bad, most fat is replaced with sugar - especially high-fructose corn syrup), which is way more fattening than actual fat, and the lack of pedestrian access to most things, and you've got a perfect recipe for an obesity epidemic of people who eat too much, drink too many sugary drinks, and don't exercise enough.

I've had high fees but things are hidden, like, increased prices, tips, fees and stuff? I got my license last year so now I can drive on my own to get stuff but being in the burbs without transport in these poorly designed towns blows.

It's a service offered in exchange for currency. No one is forcing anyone to request food delivery service over Uber or whatever. It's pure and simple convenience
The other is a state service, which might surprise some but manages quite a lot of citizens private information. Certainly nothing as banal as food

Don’t worry they already have a plan

Shopping schedule? Bro life is hard and busy, plenty of people are struggling with all kinds of issues that they can’t easily schedule around and depression is it’s own beast.
Look, I don’t order food because of the price and because I don’t want to support that fucked up business model(also because I live in a walkable city) but, and I mean this in the most “I hope you take this as an opportunity to reflect” kinda way, go fuck off with that shit.
