For those that continually use services like Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash, etc., how does justify using the cost?

With fees and tip added, it’s almost double the cost, the food arrives cold and wait time is longer than you picking it up yourself.

        Because the question wasn’t just addressed to those that do, and because if OP is under the mistaken impression that constant deliveries are the norm, it’s incumbent upon us respondents to correct that error.

          But it was, it is right in the first paragraph.

          The best I will give you is that you were not explicitly excluded but you were implicitly excluded.

          I don’t disagree with your constant delivery reason, just to be clear.

          Fucking DoorDash is ridiculous, even for pick up orders, they mark up the fucking price.

    Save money with this one simple trick: Don’t Tip

    This message was brought to you from britain, where tipping is rare, and definitely not to delivery drivers

    Tipping is charity to employees because employers are underpaying

      It would be wonderful to change tipping culture but they make no money otherwise thanks to laws over here.

        Actually, the law states that if your wage + tips doesn’t equal standard minimum wage, your employer must make up the difference. In practice, this is just used to identify and fire underperformers. But if everyone stopped tipping, the company would be forced to pay them full wages and eventually it would just be worked back into the system. Tipping is absolutely not necessary.
