Why is food more expensive on delivery apps??? 🤧

Drive-Thru vs. Delivery Apps 🍔📱

Have you guys ever noticed it’s cheaper to use a drive-thru than a delivery food app?

One sick, rainy day will make you download Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Grubhub and trust me, I still order from this day.

Doesn’t change the fact they overcharge on regular menu items. 🤧

Why I Still Do It… 🤷‍♀️

I’ve done it, and I still do it frequently, disregarding the price changes, because man… I just want that taco without having to drive for it. Cold feet and frozen hands on a steering wheel? I think not. I’d rather press a few buttons and bam!!! Food at my door! 🤧🤧😭

The Price Truth 💸

The way my life is set up right now (3 kids, bills galore!) I cannot afford extra dollars splurged to a company. I could understand if the payments went more to the drivers… but let’s be honest, companies do NOT pay them a fair wage. Especially considering the drivers are doing the real work.

Yes, I still tip, but that $10 burger? The restaurant only wanted $10 for it. The delivery app adds a couple more $$ plus a service fee. Suddenly, that $10 burger isn’t $10 anymore—it’s $12.99.

Am I mad? Nah. Just shook. I just want to eat without sacrificing an arm and a leg for it. 😂🤧

I’ll Pay Extra… Sometimes 😅

Cold and rainy? I’ll pay $3 extra. Snowy? You bet your bottom dollar I’m emptying my wallet. But when bills need paid or something unexpected comes up, those overcharges and hidden fees hit hard.

It feels illegal. 😭🤣

The Real Truth 👀

We’re being taken advantage of in so many ways, but our minds are stuck in a mess we can’t untangle. It’s not you. It’s not me. It’s just corporate greed in full effect.

I’m LivvyInTheLife! I love pattern recognition and paying attention. This caught my eye so fast, I figured you guys should be on the scope about it too. 

We truly need to bring back the bartering, and trading. Corporations have us in a chokehold!
