    You're in timeout because you've had to many page request errors. Maybe set your scraper slower.

    I will NEVER order via delivery apps. I see all the fees associated, tip excluded, and I'm like, y'all just made of money, huh? The ones that really kill me, though, are when people order a coffee from Starbucks or something. A drink. One drink. Just go to Starbucks, homie. I'm not paying more to get the food than the food itself. It's madness.

    Nah I've been getting MTurk down also and got it yesterday a lot as well

    Including many times when I had zero active pandas/catchers and was not using MTurk

    Your specific activity may trigger it, but it is not the only cause. It just happens

    I mean I can barely justify even just ordering a few things from a fast food place in the drive thru any more. Its like 20 bucks for a small taco bell order now

    And when I use Grub Hub, I've ordered from Burger King in the past and the meal totalled $13 when I went to BK and it totalled $15 on the app before all of the extra costs. So right off the bat, they've hiked up the price of the food before the service charge, tip, tax, etc.

    Dude. I used to regularly do this $5.99 app-only combo special. I tried to order it a couple days ago and I hit the breaks when I saw they're now trying to charge nearly $10. Peace out, fools. Remember when Taco Bell used to fill you up for, like, two bucks just a few years ago?

    yeah I always use the apps now bc they tend to have the cheapest deals. Pretty much always McDs these days cus they regularly have 1 or 2 decent deals in the app + EZ rewards for free food. But still, its getting stupid

    The total price was $25 and would have been just $13 if I was going to go to BK. (I was sick)

    Pretty standard practice to hike the price up for online ordering in general, aside from specific apps for chains

    Ordering through any of the online menu sites or online ordering services always raises the price by like 1-2 bucks per item is what I've noticed
