I was talking to a T-Mobile rep about something, and she gave me a head's up that this week's T-Mobile Tuesday included a Door Dash subscription for a year. It even said that it can be cancelled in a year, but they'd be doing the same promotion on July 2026, so the customer can just resign up for free again!
I've already used it, and the place I ordered from had a free item for ordering over $25. After the discount and free delivery, the $55 bill was down to $30.
And this was in NYC.

I have never ordered via delivery service for my food except the traditional pizza delivery. I can’t see spending that much to drop off a meal for myself. I go pick it up if they don’t deliver, or I just don’t order in.
If it were easier to walk or bike to get food it would be different. Sometimes I don't want to spend 30 minutes in a metal death box for a burrito. We cook most of our meals at home but occasional delivery is nice.
The expectation comes from SoftBank investing billions into Uber to kickstart the ride share industry.
I've never ordered food to my door. Not even pizza. The rare times I order takeout pizza I pick it up myself. Unless you're a senior citizen it just seems so wasteful and lazy and comically expensive to have food delivered to you. I mean I get that we're absolutely going to destroy this planet, but holy shit are we speedrunning it.

I've honestly never quite realized up until now how utterly ridiculous it is that people regularly demand that their food be cooked for them.

Society evolves buddy. I don't churn my own butter, but my grandmas did, and would find it ridiculous I have 247 access to a supermarket selling some. And it's even being kept at an exact temperature, all the time? Packaged without any sweat on it? Ridiculous!
Never really thought of getting food delivered, with prices like that I shall continue not to.
Is the purpose of DoorDash to get food that normally doesn’t have a delivery option? I always call and pick my food up. It’s a reason to get out of the house and exercise.
