Do other people in NYC use Doordash? Curious to understand people who do.
Anecdotally, I never have even considered it – although it's true that I'm somebody who prefers choosing my own groceries.
I feel like the value prop (i.e. value less [opportunity] costs) is de minimis to most in NYC, with abundant grocers and restaurants at every price point.
Yeah but then you have to leave your home. I know people who use it plenty because they're too lazy or busy (the person I know who uses it most is in med school and has basically no life currently except for studying and school).
I use it when I'm too sick to leave home and I'm not stocked up on food. Or board game nights when we don't want someone to have to leave to pick up food. All the delivery apps have such bad customer experience though, we usually now just agree on food beforehand and have one person pick it up on their way.
Absolutely blows my mind the kind of money people will spend to avoid 10 minutes of driving.
Even now that I am making substantially more money, pretty much Doordash's prime demographic, I find it such a terrible deal that I simply cannot bring myself to use it.
