Well... It's what - $36 for the food, $10 delivery fee, $10 Postmates fees and 20% tip on top = $68(rounded up)...

Truth is - if you're paying $36+tip for the same food delivered, you're literally enabling underpayment of the delivery person.

I tend to pick up, because I really don't want to enable abusive relationship that restaurants have with their drivers.

$77 didn't actually include a tip. The prices were high because of a large markup on Doordash prices compared to the restaurant's takeout menu, as well as the explicit fees you mentioned.

The $36 was specifically for pickup, the restaurant doesn't offer their own delivery service as far as I know.
