> So many people I know complains about DoorDash, etc, and keep using it, and insist their life demands they use it.

I complain about DoorDash but still use it because around me there's no meaningful alternative for delivery. Even pizza places around here have ditched organic delivery service and just use DoorDash.

I don't use DoorDash all the time, I save it for when I've been busy and don't feel like cooking and cleaning. It's usually a replacement for going out to eat.

I can't understand people that use it all the time though. Even the relative convenience comes at a significant cost. A lot of restaurants have higher prices on DoorDash or have required up-sells be added to meals. With the fees you're spending more than you would if you ate the same meal at the restaurant.

I completely understand the occasional delivery where convenience trumps price but constantly paying a 20-50% markup on meals is ludicrous.
