>Why do they need to care about the markup? If the burger price seems like a good deal, go for it, otherwise don't.

Why don't you answer the question?

>Well then that seems like the situation is fixing itself due to everyone's free ability to do what they want? So why are we complaining?

In what way is the situation being fixed?

Well I'm not the one who cares about it. I don't understand why anyone else would. So I can't answer it!

People who don't want to do business with Doordash don't have to. If you don't like Doordash you can just forget they exist. It's not a problem.

People always 'find out' about mark ups and get pissed about them, but businesses are not charities.

And let's not act like this law was passed because of consumers- this is restaurant owners trying to have their cake and eat it too.
