NOT SATIRE: DoorDash is teaming up with Klarna so that you can finance your food delivery orders

If you think the delivery fees for Doordash are outrageous, just wait until it's time to pay interest on your late-night Taco Bell delivery.

The convenient part is that Doordash is teaming up with the buy-now, pay-later financing service Klarna so you can easily put off paying for your afternoon chicken nuggies.

I think we need to bring back debtors prisons. At least the stigma would keep people from going into debt on food delivery.

It's DoorDash's first BNPL alliance and gives users of the restaurant delivery service a new way to pay for meals. Klarna said in a press release that DoorDash customers will be able to pay in full at checkout, split payments into four equal interest-free installments, or defer to dates that align conveniently with payday schedules ...

'Our partnership with DoorDash marks an important milestone in Klarna's expansion into everyday spending categories,' said David Sykes, Klarna's chief commercial officer, in Thursday's release.

The Swedish lenders are excited to break into the financing for delivering food and groceries to people too busy and often too lazy to run to the store.

Just some unsolicited, non-professional financial advice: Never finance a Papa John's pizza!

It isn't worth it.
