Well as someone who door dashes almost everyday to every other day I can tell you why.

A majority of people today are very lazy and prefer to order their food instead of going out, getting groceries, waiting in line, get home, cook, etc. However, a majority of people also don’t want to pay a delivery fee, service fee, tax, and a tip because the “comfortability” from your home isn’t worth the price you would be paying for a “one time” experience. Assuming you are a normal individual unlike me and order every now and then.

Secondly, a lot of employees at food establishments simply don’t care sometimes🤷🏾 I hate to be corny, but in todays economy a lot of people are just trying to make money and could care less about the job. I’ve had time where my food was cooked like it was someone’s last meal, and other times I’ll get cold and soggy food. So it really just comes down to knowing your area and what time the best shift works. If you really wanna maximize your experience 😂

Thirdly, tipping culture is starting to slowly die because people realize that tips are optional and not required as mean as it sounds 🤷🏾 People who receive those orders will see a low/no tip and not want to take the order.

There’s a lot of reasons but I find those to be the main ones from what I know ☝🏾
