    I don’t use them, but this is a false dichotomy. It isn’t “don’t use them or shut up”, I’m going to talk about the blatant price gouging whether you like it or not.

        You’re paying for convenience for literally everything, and this price gouging has effects on the market as a whole by raising price points.

        If delivery apps find that people will pay 30% more for a Big Mac, plus several additional fees and tip, it only makes sense for McDonald’s to eventually raise Big Mac prices by 0-30%, minus any fee or tip because there are none.
