Airbnb is adding cleaning fees to a new 'total price' of bookings in search results after people complained listings were misleading::Airbnb's CEO said that he's heard guests "loud and clear" that pricing on the platform isn't transparent and "checkout tasks are a pain."

I rather not have my food messed with by some random delivery person thankyouverymuch

Around here, bags of food for delivery are sealed up tighter than Ft. Knox (figuratively). Tape, staples, plastic bag around the outside tied up in knots you have to cut to get through. Plus, food deliverer germs are no worse than food preparer germs. I have enough innate germaphobe in me that I actively refuse to worry about my food being tampered with in ways I won't notice. If I did that, I'd never eat any food I didn't prepare myself, from ingredients that came in their own wrapper (banana, cantaloupe, live mussels).

No thanks. Between all the extra plastic and waste to keep people from tampering my stuff, to food getting cold and rubbery if left in a container for too long, to extra cost, it's all a big fat no from me.
