DoorDash and Klarna partner to offer buy now, pay later for takeout.

  If you don’t have enough money to pay for takeout, you need to be picking it up yourself or, even better, cooking it yourself. DoorDash is horrendously expensive.

    Exactly. If you’re even unsure if you can’t pay for delivery, you should be cooking almost every meal yourself. It’s not that hard to make healthy meals in a relatively small amount of time, find some meals you can make in bulk and have a meal-prep day.

    Don’t go into debt for delivery, it’s not worth it.

    Food delivery is almost 50-75% more than buying in the restaurant once you account for tip and service fees.

    They are useful if you literally can’t drive or cook due to an illness (me right now) but damn they are just terrible for everyday use.

    I would say that paying for grocery delivery and cooking it yourself is better. Like, I live in the middle of nowhere, I get it.

  Please don’t finance your lunch

    What if I take the money I haven’t spent yet and invest it? If the market gains enough, the lunch is free!

      If you’re planing to ‘invest’ your lunch money and get returns big enough to pay for the lunch too, you don’t have a plan, you have a gambling addiction.

  Please don’t put takeout on credit

  • CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Unless it’s your credit card that you use for cash back rewards and pay off fully each month.

      Klarna fees will negate that unless Klarna and DoorDash are dropping the fee.

  In 5 years or less we will be living in a world where people have their paychecks garnished to pay back food loans.

  In Sweden we’ve been able to do this for years? Any site that has Klarna as a payment option you can choose to add it to your monthly bill or the “pay it later” (I think two weeks) option.

  If I need to buy now pay later for door dash, I’ll quit ordering food because clearly I can’t afford it.

  Don’t these services rely exclusively on credit card accounts? :confuse:

  source

  • CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Yes but the credit card fees really add up. Essentially they are taking on the financing with a bulk loan.

    I’m sure this will translate to lower costs for the consumer.

  Yeah that’s not a bad idea or anything. Nope. Not at all.
