I’m waiting for the day all these shitty delivery services come crashing down. But sadly I think there’s enough idiots out there to keep them in buisness.

That said these practices aren’t unique. Almost any place where you buy X + a service will charge a markup on the initial item + their service fee.

Am idiot, still use Instacart though because it saves me at least an hour a week (probably closer to two hours after accounting for shopping time and getting ready to leave) for $20, which is worth it to me

  That’s life.
  
  I pay a person to clean my house every two weeks. Totally worth it.

They were nice at the height of COVID but once the first vaccine came out and masks were required I saw no point in them. A $25 food order costs $50 and takes twice as long as take out with a bonus of the delivery person possibly molesting or stealing your food.

I think they’ll eventually just consolidate into one company. The demand for grocery delivery is there, so the service isn’t going to disappear.

There are still people out there who believe everybody should still stay home due to covid. These services aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
