DoorDash Faces $1 Billion Lawsuit Over Deceptive Pricing

Canada's Competition Bureau is suing DoorDash for allegedly misleading consumers through deceptive pricing practices. The bureau claims DoorDash adds mandatory fees at checkout, resulting in higher prices than advertised. This practice, known as "drip pricing," has allegedly allowed DoorDash to acquire nearly $1 billion in fees over a decade. "There's always so many service charges recently and it just gets to an astronomical point," said one consumer interviewed in the video. DoorDash denies the allegations, stating they do not hide fees or mislead consumers. The Competition Bureau is seeking to make DoorDash change its practices, pay a financial penalty, and compensate affected customers. This case highlights the growing scrutiny of online businesses' pricing strategies and the efforts to protect consumers from unfair practices.
