      I would assume the amount they make is a percentage of the cart total. That would be the only way to make longer trips worth it. So that would incentivize suggesting more expensive options. But I imagine there’s also a tip mechanic so doing obvious stuff like that could hurt your tip.

      It could be 2 things, 1) what you wanted was already the cheapest 2) maybe they think replacing it with a “better” quality version is a better move than cheaper.

      Better is in quotes since more expensive doesn’t equal better quality.

      I really don’t know, talking out my ass rn
