Dark_Koopatrol 12/11/22 1:05:05 AM #1:	Still makes me wonder to this day. The last time (3 years ago) I tried delivery (I think Grubhub), a $16 meal became $35. This was thanks to $4 in delivery fees, $4 "service" fees, $4 some other bullshit fees, $3 tax, and $4 tips. Noped out of that instantly and did pick up instead.
