I’ve lost count of the number of people I know tangentially who complain about not having any money yet talk about constantly ordering DoorDash for some cookies or other frivolous crap.
Quick and dirty analysis of Doordash prices over the last I don’t care. Doordash recognized that they had two markets. A captive market (people who are stuck in their houses for whatever reason, for example) and an elastic market (lazy people who want tacos, for example). Depending on the day, I’m a little of column a, a little of column b so no judgements here. It just looks more and more like Doordash decided to take advantage of their captive market since their elastic market actually responds to price shocks.

By constantly complaining they’re broke.

Funny thing is if they went and got it themselves they would save a ton. Sometimes the prices are almost double on doordash.

Thats interesting, I’m elastic, I’ll door dash when I’m lazy or don’t want to cook.
