       How many days in a typical week would you use a meal delivery app (such as Uber Eats, Deliveroo or Door Dash)?

       @davidnjoku I order food online two or three times a week but I never get it delivered. It costs too much. All of the places that I could order from are within 20min walking distance or less and since I need more exercise I just walk over and pick it up. Before Door Dash and Uber Eats took over I'd order delivery often. It only cost a little more. But they have inflated the prices so much it's absurd. $40 vs $20  for a meal to be shared by two people.

       @davidnjoku The have inflated the prices but the people working doing the delivery seem to be doing worse than ever and making less. The restaurants also seem to not benefit at all. The apps are kind of scummy in this way and make small restaurants feel like they have no choice but to sign up. But if you go to them directly you find out just how much Uber is taking of that high price.
