I can't decide whether this is a horribly depressing sign of the times that people need to pay off 1 nights dinner over 4 weeks, or if this is some stupid executive person thinking this is what people want when they say they can't afford to get food delivery

More likely its a way for doordash to be advertised via afterpay. I'd say it's less can't afford it, more why not spread the cost. Non different to using a credit card was considered odd at one point.

I don't use afterpay as I think its a bad product but if I had cash flow issues I would. Its free credit.
