If I was in the middle of a job and was about to run out of something, I’m looking at downing tools for a minimum hour round trip to the nearest (decent) hardware store.
There’s a good chance someone starting closer to the store can get that down to 35-40 minutes, and I can carry on working in the meantime.
Now “normal”, perhaps not, but unreasonable also perhaps not?
Even for DIY this might be sensible. I know what my time is worth to me in $. Add in a % correction for semi enjoyable tasks and I have an easy yardstick for what is reasonable.
Not necessarily, sometimes you just want to get something finished today, which won’t happen if you’re sitting in your car. I probably wouldn’t do it though.
Honestly, I’d consider it.

In other words, if you’re a contractor and the doordasher’s fee is lower than your hourly rate.

Opportunity cost.
