Food delivery apps. What a concept! You want food, you press a button, food appears. But then you look at the breakdown. The food itself, fine. The delivery fee, okay, that’s fair. The ‘service fee,’ what’s that? Is there a guy in a velvet robe polishing my pixels? And then the tip! Of course, the tip. Now my $15 burrito is costing me $28. And the tracking! You watch this little dot move across the map, slowly, deliberately. It’s like a culinary caravan. And then it arrives, slightly lukewarm, and you realize you could’ve just walked two blocks and gotten it yourself for half the price and probably had a better conversation with the cashier. But no, convenience!
