Food delivery fees add up. Who keeps the money from all those surcharges?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:10:15 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – We've all been there. There's nothing in the fridge and you don't have time to run out, so you open up a delivery app to order lunch. But by the time you go to check out, pay all the fees, and tip your driver, your $11 burrito has turned into a $19 splurge. The jump in price is thanks to lots of little fees – a couple of bucks here, a few percentage points there – that add up by the time the food arrives at your doorstep. Where does all that extra money go? Uber Eats and DoorDash break down the line item charges on their websites. Grubhub also charges similar fees but doesn't list them in detail. The first two charges you'll see listed frequently on all three apps are "delivery fee" and "service fee." The delivery fee, to state the obvious, goes toward helping cover the cost of the delivery, the companies told Nexstar. The delivery fee can fluctuate based on demand, your location, how many delivery drivers are available, and other factors. The 100 best burger spo...

Hard-On for the Saints

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:10:15 GMT

The Saints(I’m) Stranded (EMI/Sire)Hard-On for the Saints: Ray Ahn of the Hard-Ons told us about his love for the debut album from fellow veteran Australian punks the Saints.(EMI/Sire)Ray Ahn: The debut LP by the Saints ushered in unthinkable velocity and power in pop music that drew a line between ROCK and PUNK. This is remarkable because no act had presented music like this before.Put simply, “(I’m) stranded” is a blistering album where every instrument sounds like it is in a race with the others to the finish. The music has potent urgency not found in any other record on earth. That the album still sounds fresh and timeless is a testament to what a once in a lifetime freak of an album it really is.(I’m) Stranded is a rampaging sound of desperation, alienation and unwavering focus. It became a blueprint and inspiration for modern day punk sounds. Even arguably more so than even the debut LP by the Ramones. This album is the re-set button for Rock And Roll music, that had mov...
