Food delivery is ridiculously expensive for what it offers me in added convenience. I’m not even using it now, forget after COVID-19 has passed. I actually enjoy getting to pick out the specific food I bring home from the grocery store, and I have no trouble picking up my own food from a restaurant (assuming I don’t want to eat out). I feel like a lot of these consumer oriented gig services primarily increase intermediaries and cost for very little benefit.

Food delivery is only expensive in money if you are rich in time. Some people have more time than money, others vice versa.

Food delivery like expensive because it is combined with complicated meals, which are expensive in their own right (again, if you are time rich).
