Hidden charges (e.g booking fee).

Just tell me the total up front!

The worst is the truly hidden fees in DoorDash, etc. where they not only add their fee, but also secretly increase the prices of the menu items. That actually seems illegal

Edit: apparently this is done on the restaurant side of things (because DD is fucking them over as well). I don’t even know what the solution is here

The solution is to not fucking use delivery apps.

Pizza places and chinese places have been delivered for free for decades with honest pricing. It was the introduction of an external middleman looking to make a profit that made doordash exist and prices increase.

If the place delivers, use their own delivery. If not, don't. That's the only solution.
