    services like door-dash are literally built on a concept of a sucker pays more. you order a meal that costs $10. total charge comes to $25. then delivery worker made $5 on that order. + the delivery worker expects a tip.

    which means the company sees both the delivery worker and the person who ordered as suckers. no wonder ride-share companies jumped onto food-delivery.

      My time is more expensive than the $15 extra I pay for the food...who's the sucker.

      I'm not paying for the food. I'm paying for them to bring me the food. Those are two different products.
