Am I understanding this right, you paid ~$17 for a cup of coffee?

I spent about 15 cents on coffee today.

e: $18?

I was feeling particularly lazy and looked up how much a large ice coffee would be. With fee and taxes it came out to $12ish bucks for a $4.57 cup of coffee. It was actually a condescend milk coffee from a thai place...but still. Hot drat

eating take out is for the rich. having a single premade meal delivered to you is for the super rich.

My wife found out that her boss's son spends about $700 per month on uber eats alone. Then spends several hundred more on a personal trainer to burn off the calories.

Its actually kind of a huge pain in the rear end for restaurants to use delivery apps. Many of them have some sort of proprietary hardware (printer) that is its own separate thing. So someone has to receive the order, build the order, pack it to-go, check it, and hand it off to a driver that is waiting. The small item fee is to discourage restaurants from getting inundated with people who just want a side of rice, a single coffee, or a fortune cookie. The online ordering taxes the infrastructure of the restaurant more than just regular people . It also gives restaurants less control over the quality of their product. They have to hand it off to a third party. Basically it is only worth it if people are using it to place larger orders.

Also, some of the services (Doordash and Grubhub off the top of my head) guarantee a minimum per-delivery payment to drivers.

Yea... and if you tip the driver less than the minimum through the app, you're actually only helping GrubHub & DoorDash save money. and it literally doesn't mean anything to the driver :(... :capitalism:

Its for your small penis, OP. Your small penis is the small item.

Really great insights into the economics behind the small item fee from (what I imagine) are industry professionals. However, these detailed explanations are irrelevant as the "small item fee" in this case actually refers to OPs comically small penis.

Capitalism is so soul crushingly awful that people put up with a system that killed millions of people for 69 years before admitting it wasnt as good and giving up. And even afterwards the desire for an alternative is so powerful that we havent entirely ruled out trying the same thing again.

Reduce delivery fee percentages by having them fill up a trashbag-lined shipping container with your coffee, bulk carrier rates are where the savings are at.
