Comment on An Instacart customer said she discovered the app's higher prices cost her nearly $100 after accidentally seeing the store's paper receipt

Is this not a thing that is already known by every customer of these services? Seems naive to suddenly have a TIL moment over this.

Instacart is not the first nor last service to be doing this. People still using DoorDash better go start comparing the cost of the food items they are ordering from restaurants. And if you run out of gas in your car and call AAA to bring you some, newsflash: you aren’t paying the local pump prices for those gallons of gas.

I used DoorDash for a year with their membership. The pricing is criminal without one. Even with a membership and various discounts, it’s still high. My main issue with DD though, is the stores that get to set higher prices for DD. “Prices on this menu are set directly by the Merchant”. Crumbl does this, for example. Stores should not be enjoying a markup at all. Oh, and they don’t reliably tag Virtual Kitchens either.
