simply not true. i have used it and never paid anywhere near double menu price. And plenty of restaurants charge fees for pick up now.

I ordered pizza hut a few times and they used dd for delivery instead of their own drivers and there was no extra charge.

What I'm saying, and why I stopped using the apps, is that the menu prices are marked up. A hamburger that you would pay 9.99 if you went to the restaurant or called them for takeout would have a base menu price of 12.99 on the food app. I read that for the average restaurant, there is a 30% markup on menu prices so they can cover the fee that the apps take from them on food.

This is not transparent in the app. This is actually what played a large part in Waitr getting killed off, they started prohibiting restaurants from charging higher prices for menu items than their published menus at the restaurant.

So yes, that markup you don't know is there, combined with fees plus tip, is going to make an item cost double what you'd pay at the restaurant unless you're ordering for multiple people. This may not happen at every restaurant for example Pizza Hut may have a special agreement with them, but the burger joint down the street has to mark up their prices to pay for that service to cover them.

This is going to be one of those shows where the people with short attention spans can't make it through seasons until they are fully released and start drawing more attention and praise.

It's all they have.

Their professions are in serious danger of being completely irrelevant. The only thing really propping them up right now and saving them is their credentials to get media access to press conferences and other similar events, and lately advertising dollars from sports gambling companies.

I can't tell you the last time I got breaking news from a local radio station that I couldn't have gotten from the Internet much earlier.

Saban will tell them all to frick off. I'm sure Saban was the first one to tell Kiffin frick GameDay

It's mind blowing to me still that coach O won a national championship as a head coach, but there is no doubt that he took his job seriously and approached the position correctly. He just got lazy after winning the title, and being completely reliant on coordinators because you don't know X's and O's isn't a viable long term strategy (see Dabo).

I disagree with him about this the same way I actually disagree with posters here about Drink. Ole Miss and Missouri are not resource rich programs. What both coaches have done is very impressive and people act like if a coach hasn't won a NC at one of those places that they suck.

Not saying Drink and Kiffin are even remotely comparable, but there is some entitlement that comes through it a bunch of peoples' opinions.

Has Fehoko been correct about a single thing since he started his social media onslaught?

The show was terrible in the last season and makes me not ever want to rewatch it again

Bateman seems to be another run of the mill Hollywood submissive male these days and I'm not interested in seeing him anymore either

I highly doubt it. In the grand scheme of things, how does hurting Florida and LSU really help with anything. The SEC is ultra competitive and difficult right now.

This is 100% not Ole Miss as an institution playing games to just temporarily weaken LSU and Florida even further.

This style of slow storytelling is going to be difficult to sell to today's audience.

I'm loving the show but I like slow developing stories and I like having one episode per week. I don't think most people will say that though. Streaming and bingeing is what people are used to now. Even Gilligan has admitted that Netflix saved Breaking Bad, because no one really watched it until season 3 or 4 and everyone was bingeing it on Netflix and realizing how good of a show it was when it could be digested all at once. They weren't patient enough to take it in on TV and they gave up on it. By the time season 5 rolled around, it was the hottest thing out there and people were glued to the TV for one hour a week getting whatever they could, but it took awhile to get to that point.

By today's standards, Pluribus for most people is going to be a wait till the season ends and binge it kind of thing. I don't think Gilligan really cares though. I'm happy he's sticking to his roots and I'm sure he's got some things up his sleeve, but they won't be thrown in your face when you want them to be.
