Burritos here went from $6-7 ten years ago, to $10-15 now. I’ve basically stopped buying them from restaurants. Double that to have it delivered? No thanks.
In London, £15 for a takeaway meal is reasonable. Of course a decade ago, that was a fiver
I still remember a Mexican place that had a “worker’s lunch” of two tacos or a burrito and a can of soda for $5.
This is in line with “midtechs” in peripheral countries that operate “rideshare” and delivery apps becoming “fintechs” and offering banking services. After monopoly, the only path is always financialisation.
I discovered today that the gig economy food delivery precariat are riding rental electric scooters marketed specifically to them.

Im honestly surprised it took this long, i legit remember thinking that this was just around the corner 6-8ish years ago when i first tried ordering through a mobile app.
