Why is takeout so expensive now?

I know everything is expensive now but takeout has practically doubled in price since covid.

if you get uber eats you're out $35, minimum.

Ubereats was like this before prices went up.

The reason is because they raise pricing for delivery items, plus delivery fee plus tip. So a meal that would be $15 all of a sudden becomes $30.

yeah, since covid. There's the answer there. They charged more because they could. You'd think a "crisis" like covid would make people want to start cooking for themselves instead of getting takeout, but nah would rather get cheesecake factory delivered.

I've never used ubereats or doordash but yeah I've heard they upcharge the fuk outta that. brb get mcdonald's from grubhub brb $46

maybe that's what's ****ing me up. i put in a reasonable meal on there and its $30 before tip. i just exit the app and see what's in the fridge.

i can afford it but it offends me that it's that much.

it means that bidenomics are working. if the place has its own delivery service, then use that instead. just about every pizza, chinese, and a few others around where i live have their own drivers.

Also, remember that when you visit the store there are often items on special or discount.

For example, at Dominos you can always get a pizza for carry out for $6.99. But that same pizza isn't discounted for delivery, so it's like $11 plus $4 delivery fee and $3 tip. So it's like $19 delievered.

Every time I stop by fast food(which is now a 30 min wait thanks to zoomies)


I notice prices have gone up 50% or more for the same item(s) & I'm like ??? what changed, it's still the same poverty cuts of meat

The only variable is Xiden

The funniest part is they're really asking for a tip at takeout went to firehouse subs yesterday got a medium hook and ladder....

key word: medium...came to $9 for pretty much a 6 inch sub.

When I was getting ready to pay at the touch screen it asked for a tip 10% 15% 20% 30% 40%

Just lmao. The no tip button was in small print at the button I made sure to make it seem like I was squinting to find it and press the button.

Because the government printed money and doubled the money supply over Covid. So everything is about double the price

Even getting a pizza delivered is $35+ plus tip these days. It's absolutely outrageous and unsustainable imo
