Oh no, how do I get my $22 burrito now?
They probably take 20-30% of the item price from the restaurant (+charge delivery extra)... so eating inside or takeout should be cheaper.. but nope, to keep the prices consistent, pretty much everyone raised all their prices to the delivery levels.
I did start cooking more though.
I once explained to a co-worker that I live in a cabin in the woods. "So you hunt and fish and stuff?" "Nope." "So how do you get food?" "We have grocery stores in the country." One time I told an Uber driver that I live out in the country. "Wait, how do you get around?" "I drive." "Oh. Do you have your own parking spot?" "It's the country. Parking is everywhere." "And do you have DoorDash?" "Nope. No apps, no delive…
Y'know the more I think about it the more I think I'd learn everything about how exactly to handle the next 20 years by just being a fly on the wall at the study groups the people that made WALL·E go to.

We have different delivery services in my country (mostly wolt and glovo), and yep, they fucked the prices of food here.

It's uncomfortable reading the impact to the "Dashers", and how they're losing out on their statuses and income due to computer error.
In any case, hugops to the team.

I grew up in the country where nobody walked or bicycled. Parents would drive their kids 1000’ down the driveway to the school county road where the school bus picked them up. To move themselves they believed they had to get in a car/truck/SUV.
Nobody understood why/how I chose to never learned to drive (I’m 40 now) and that I just choose to walk to the store, bike to work, take the bus to the movies, etc.
Rural people have trouble grokking things, too.
