> I could see they justify this as value-based pricing. As in, it would have costed more for you to travel farther to get the food from that particular restaurant if you were to order pickup.

If this isn’t going to the driver, it’s absolutely unacceptable. DoorDash does not have to do more work because you would have had to drive further, but the actual driver does have to drive further, and is working for a flat fee.

To hear people on HN say things like this explains exactly why these companies do this. This is absolutely not a reasonable way to think.
