I expect I'll never use door dash or similar services. The quality is so low and the price is so high.

If I had to get something delivered, it'd be a pizza. Well, you know, one that still has its own drivers.

As a former Pizza Hut/Papa John's/Marco's/Hungry Howie's driver, totally fine with this. Food delivery drivers are typically underpaid, especially considering how expensive cars are.

I kinda want to say that delivery services are charging what delivery should cost to compensate drivers fairly, but I don't know how much of the customer pays go to the drivers and how much the delivery service keeps. I wouldn't mind the upcharge on menu items if the driver got paid well.

The price is high and the person doing the work is paid barely any of it - the tip is where most of the money comes from for them.
