A few weeks ago, a DoorDash driver showed up at our door. I started to tell him he had the wrong house — until my 14-year-old daughter came outside, accepted the delivery, and thanked him. She loves DoorDash. I don’t. 

“It’s too expensive,” I answer whenever she asks. Apparently, however, the service is not too expensive for millions of food stamp recipients.

I recently discovered a new trend: people using EBT cards, better known as food stamps, to pay for deliveries. When I first saw complaints about this on X, I assumed it was fake news. A 60-second Google search confirmed I was wrong.

On its website, DoorDash boasts about how many SNAP recipients use its service and offers instructions on how to sign up and buy EBT-approved items. (Some indulgences, such as fast food, are still off limits.) 

“Since launching support for SNAP/EBT payments,” said Fuad Hannon, vice president of new verticals at DoorDash, “over 1.1 million consumers have added their SNAP/EBT cards to DoorDash.”

That was in April 2024. Since then, usage has only grown. Earlier this year, the company reported that the number of SNAP/EBT users had more than doubled to 2.4 million. 

This is clearly good news for DoorDash, as its stock has quadrupled since it........
