This article about DoorDash and co food deliveries has led to quite the drama on several platforms
The NYT talks to people who are spending a lot of their money on Door Dash
A data processor in San Diego spends at least $200 to $300 a week on food deliveries:
“I feel reliant upon it, but guilt for using it.”
A family of four oders in for $700 per week:
“I am so burned out and tired, I would rather just throw my credit card at the problem and delay that unhappiness until the bill comes.”
Yash Babar, a professor at the Wisconsin School of Business says people are increasingly disconnected from food preparations
DoorDash driver Mitch Drabenstott:
“It seems like everyone uses these delivery services whether they have the money or not.”
Uber Eats driver Austin Layne makes $2 to $4 per delivery in LA, tips (if they happen) are only a few dollars
Customer Will Parks is cutting back after spending 1/3 of his money on ordering food:
“Food delivery is a scam. It is incredibly expensive, the quality has gone down precipitously and with costs being so high, I took a hard look at it and was like, ‘This is a waste of my cash and time.’”
Freedom With A Side Of Guilt: How Food Delivery Is Reshaping Mealtime
"From her roughly $50,000 annual salary as a data processor in San Diego, Ms. Reedy, 34, spends at least $200 to $300 a week on food delivery."

If you're spending at least 20 percent of your salary on *delivered* food, maybe affordability isn't the main issue.
