My same question, yeah. If you think of buying a new car, for example, the salesman will size up the customer in all sorts of ways, taking many signals into account in order to negotiate the price as high as he think he can get the customer to agree to. Perfectly legal, and it happens all the time.
I don't know if this DoorDash suit named the specific area of law that they allege was violated, but I would need to understand the difference between what DoorDash is doing and my scenario of the car salesman, for example.
I think it's about misleading the consumer. This has less to do with a felony violation of the law and more about whether they are liable for the way they have marketed and misled consumers. The end result is a fine, not a criminal conviction, so I think the plaintiffs have a nonzero chance of winning.
