Math, Dunkin' style

After reading about the guy suing Dunkin' for unexplained charges on purchases he made via its app, a UHub reader forwarded this screen capture of a similar occurrence on his app from last year.

...fair point.

15 cents extra just for using
15 cents extra just for using their app? Did Dunks change hands recently? Is Elon Musk running it now?
They all do it
Ironic someone posted about Door Dash groceries. See I had the exact opposite experience using Door Dash to get Wendys. Got the reciept and it was the same in store price. Uber Eats.. not so much. (which is why I stopped using them). I think Wendys has a deal with DoorDash (as its their preferred deliver service on their website) but even still.
I wont even start with Instacart and Market Basket. I know MB's prices the the back of my hand and its obvious they are up charging people 200% or more for some items, while others are spot on same price.
Its shifty and these places need to stop this crap. I get 'convinence fees' but these fees are turning into a revenue stream for companies. If your business model depends on additional fees, its not a viable business.
UberEATs is clearly this. There's a fee, then a delivery charge, and then some other charge.. on top of the already jacked up depending on time of day food prices.
