> An actual human being, A, must be paid to drive down to a store and deliver something for B who is too lazy to get off his couch for a burrito. The only way that would work is if A is being paid the bare minimum or if B has plenty of cash to spare.

I don't see why it has to be viewed in terms of such extremes. It's just a simple calculation of B's time versus their money. B is probably an actual human being too, so would need to drive to the store and back themselves. Maybe they prefer not to. The entire economy works this way.
