Almost three of every four restaurant orders in the U.S. weren’t eaten in a restaurant, according to recent data. We spoke to readers who are devoted to delivery but question the costs.
AI:The mainstream media's obsession with consumer trends continues as they report on how DoorDash and Uber Eats have fundamentally altered American dining habits, with nearly 75% of restaurant orders now being consumed off-site. While the New York Times presents this as a mere shift in consumer behavior, it masks a predatory economic reality where delivery giants extract massive fees from struggling small businesses and consumers alike.
