When the hell did hot dogs start coming in 5 packs? And at my local grocer a pack would be less than $3 for some commodity hotdogs. A premium (if you can call a hotdog that) option is less than $6.58.

"why do hot dogs come in packages of ten while hot dog buns come in packages of just 8?"

For comparison, here are the numbers I found in UberEats: 1 pack of 8 bun-length Bar-S hot dogs, $1.59. Total delivered with tax etc. $7.03. The delivery fee is $2.49, which obviously amortizes across more items.

Also, unlike the gas station, this store sells fresh produce.

This would be a valid comparison if Uber Eats was planning to limit grocery carts to a single item. But TFA didn't mention that.

This would be a valid critique if you are limited to 1 pack of hotdogs per taxi ride to the grocery store.

"inaccessibility to the poor."

Switching this to a conversation about taxis is an interesting diversion, but a diversion nonetheless. That said, currently an Uber to my grocery store, which is almost exactly a mile away is running at $9.97 each way. (Taxis are unreliable here.)

Spending $20 on transport to get access to lower in-store fees, but the math is more complicated as Uber Eats doesn't use a flat % markup on items.
