DoorDash Will Let Users Buy Now, Pay Later for Fast Food, a Possible Worrying Sign for the Economy

DoorDash will soon offer a “Buy Now, Pay Later” option for fast food through a partnership with Klarna, allowing users to make interest-free payments. This trend raises concerns about increasing consumer debt, as BNPL services have become popular among cash-strapped individuals, contributing to a record high in online spending. Overall U.S. debt has risen, with serious delinquencies at a 14-year high, signaling potential economic worries.
