At Walgreens guy claims that he delivered one candy bar to a customer once. Said he got 4 dollar tip on top of cost or the candy bar. I think that's crazy and got to be exaggerated. I mean who so lazy they order a single candy bar through Doordash?

I've never lived in suburbia but if I did and was too high to drive...

Through DoorDash? No. But that is literally how Postmates works. The delivery person gets the total of the purchase on a prepaid card and then shops and delivers. I've used it ONCE to get a pack of smokes while wasted at a party, but that was years ago when it was just $2 more than going out and getting them myself. No idea what ridiculous fees they have now.

Some people are really lazy, and the workers of these services are usually so underpaid that it's not even that crazily expensive.

With the tip had to be at least a 10 dollar candy bar, or hell more. Candy bars around here are 3 dollars for a full size.

Shrug. Some people just don't care about money like that. Some are even just that rich.

Either way, being out of baby formula is kind of a big deal, so it makes sense to pay extra to get it as soon as possible.

Better than an acquaintance that orders bags of sand or concrete.
