2 pizzas, a small order of breadsticks, and wanted to splurge and get cinnamon sticks.

Pizzas are a "Buy one get one deal!" at 13 bucks a pizza. Figured what the hell, I'll splurge on desert then with the deal. Get to checkout... hold on a minute.... 50 dollars for pizza?! Wait a minute 80 dollars after fees and taxes?!

Usually I only use Doordash for finding something, then I order direct from the store. I just saw the sweet "buy one get one" deal and thought eh, fine I'm here. Right, that's why I stopped using door dash. I'm not spending 80 dollars on freaking pizza. I'll just go pick it up and spend a quarter of that price.

At least I would have saved the $3 dollar delivery fee. Phew. Thanks DoorDash.

What? Of course I can cook. It's Friday and I didn't feel like it. You've never said "Oh man, work was hell, I'm just going to order something and relax tonight"?

I meal prep for every day and cook every day. You don't need to act superior to people because they wanted to order a pizza.

    You complain, but still pay for it. That only encourages the gouging. The best way to make it stop is not patronizing food delivery services. Use any means necessary. If your tired, I totally get it, but paying them means you condone the behavior of price gouging and hidden fees.

    I’m literally headed to the store now to make pizza. If you were local, I’d bring you a slice.

    I... didn't pay for it? I called the shop and went to pick it up. Saved 50 bucks on it. You're making a lot of assumptions about me.

    Did you even bother reading the text?

    OP's situation aside, that doesn't even fit your generalization here, many pizza places fired their delivery drivers and use these services without really informing you. I recently ordered from Pizza Hut and didn't know my pizza was coming via these services until they text me that they were arriving. Naturally I only got one of the pizzas I ordered and the other was one that someone else ordered. Someone with terrible taste who thinks jalapeño and pineapple are appropriate ingredients for a pizza.

    Do you just assume everybody that gets take out, goes for fast food, or eats at a restaurant can’t cook?

    Does it not seem more appropriate that they just want to have a lazy day and not cook. Your comments here reek of privilege and superiority.

    Try and be better my guy. Looking at how you’ve been received here should cause you to have a little introspection in how you conduct yourself. I say this from a place of constructive criticism and not having a go at you. We all make mistakes online and we should learn from them to be better and make this community a better place for everybody.
