  • 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.

  • It's not just the delivery fees, it's the markup of the food. It used to be that you paid the same menu prices for delivery or pickup, and the only additional fee was the tip for the delivery driver if you didn't pick it up yourself.

    Here we have the food being significantly marked up (a Whopper meal is usually ~$8 dollars depending on where you are, not $18), on top of a delivery fee, on top of platform fee, on top of a delivery tip.
