An hour ago I tried to order sushi. It was a larger order, several adults and Grubhub tacked on $38 in fees (not including a tip) for $120 of food. The place was 11 minutes away - I live in US southeast with a car and ample parking. They are crazy if they think I'm paying that, I'd rather eat a sandwich.

I mean you’re already buying a hundred dollars of sushi... doesn’t seem to crazy to guess you can afford a big fee.

When I was 16, I was a handyman/servant for a tech billionaire. He drove a used minivan and once got in a fight with Walmart over a $1.50 package of glitter that was slightly leaky. The amount of money was not even close to worth his time, yet he did stuff like that all the time. This is not uncommon behavior.

Exactly - it's not about the money, it's about being taken advantage of.

And the worst thing is that despite this surcharge they still can't manage to be profitable.

No context on the order size, so we can't really say whether that's the case or not :-)

Maybe it was a $5,000 order for the whole office!

Or maybe it was a $50 at-home binge.
