Young people, especially those in Gen Z, often order food delivery frequently but feel guilty about the cost and think of it as a luxury they can’t always afford. Delivery apps like DoorDash and Grubhub grew popular during the pandemic, but users sometimes hide how much money they spend on these services. Authorities are looking into fees charged by delivery apps, and companies face fines for worker payment issues.
Key Facts
Many Gen Z individuals order food delivery about five times a month, twice as often as older generations.
Food delivery is seen as an affordable way to treat oneself, despite the extra fees that add up.
Some people feel embarrassed or guilty about how much they spend on delivery and may lie about it to friends or family.
Delivery apps became widely used during the pandemic and are now part of everyday life for many Americans.
The Federal Trade Commission is considering rules about hidden fees and price changes on delivery apps.
DoorDash was fined $131.5 million in New York City for underpaying delivery workers, the largest settlement of its kind there.
Rising grocery prices are making cooking at home as expensive as ordering food for some people.
Delivery companies say all fees are clearly shown before orders are placed, and customers can adjust orders to fit their budget.
