Ridiculous Chicago Fee DoorDash Order Meme

The meme displays a screenshot of a DoorDash food delivery checkout page, with a frustrated text comment at the top stating "Ight They just makin shit up now". A $1.50 line item labeled "Chicago Fee" is circled in red to draw attention to the seemingly arbitrary, unexplained extra charge added on top of standard subtotal, tax, and delivery costs. A note at the bottom explains that the restaurant China Doll pays up to 30% of order subtotals to DoorDash to cover delivery costs for drivers and business expenses. The joke highlights the widespread frustration with confusing, hidden extra fees charged by food delivery apps that appear to be invented with little justification.
