Misleading

Based on my experience it's just another way to use people with good intention. Big grocery chains lowering price for super expensive produce that still very much expensive. Or if people on smaller budget could afford 50% off on 40$ steak. And who profit ....

Lately there have been no pictures for any of the products

Service fees

My first few orders there was no service fee. All of a sudden there are services charges of $1.79. This is not clearly stated ahead of time. I am deleting the app

poor selection, hefty fees

There’s only a handful of items displayed each day and I didn’t even notice the first couple of times that there is $1.79 fee on top of each order: wouldn’t be unreasonable except there’s so little to choose from, most orders are $5-10… and don’t forget we have to pay taxes for these “services” (which are ordinarily included in the cost of food items!!)
Maybe “fee” should be a percentage of the order? that would be far more reasonable!!

Big corporate greed

For the stores that charge service fee. The 1.79 service fee plus tax is just corporate greed, they should be happy people are willing to buy almost expired food rather than having to throw it out, a .50 would still be too much but acceptable
