Worth a couple of extra dollars to avoid a trip to the local retail cbd
A couple of extra dollars multiplied by how many items? For near-instantaneous delivery it would end up being quite a chunk. Just the running costs of the delivery vehicle would be more than a couple of dollars, not to mention the driver's wages. So if nobody else in the area had ordered from that store in a very short time it would be a lot more than a couple of dollars.
A lot of people aren't working and are living on jobkeeper, which ends in a couple of months, and some of us don't get any government support and certainly can't afford to pay somebody to deliver stuff to us.
