I’m waiting for the day all these shitty delivery services come crashing down. But sadly I think there’s enough idiots out there to keep them in buisness.
That said these practices aren’t unique. Almost any place where you buy X + a service will charge a markup on the initial item + their service fee.
any pay nothing to the person doing all the work. they just pocket the service fee.
Am idiot, still use Instacart though because it saves me at least an hour a week (probably closer to two hours after accounting for shopping time and getting ready to leave) for $20, which is worth it to me
That’s life.
I pay a person to clean my house every two weeks. Totally worth it.
I think they’ll eventually just consolidate into one company. The demand for grocery delivery is there, so the service isn’t going to disappear.
There are still people out there who believe everybody should still stay home due to covid. These services aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Not going that route, but covid quarantine definitely showed me how much time I can save by having someone else do my grocery shopping for me.
My grocery store has an annual membership of $100 which includes same day pick up and next day delivery (in a refrigerator truck), among other benefits. Grocery shopping is done on my couch in a fraction of the time. While handling 2 toddlers, that benefit is well worth it to our household
