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.
I’m lazy and I have the money.
This is pretty much the only answer needed 😅
I hate it but I’m constantly burned out from my my work so getting delivery is pay to win solution to “I’m hungry”. Funny thing is I’m actually good cook but just lazy. If I were to make something it would be better than usual takeout. I try to avoid it but still find myself doing it more often than I would like. Not daily tho.
Stop being lazy
No
I don’t justify it because I almost never do it. I may get a pizza delivered once every 6 months or so but that’s it. I don’t think I’ve ever fine uber eats or similar because I think they’re a complete ripoff.
I have much better ways to waste my money.
The cost is negligible, the time-saving is real. The convenience is high.
I think a lot of people agree with my position, because the services are still in business.
At least here, delivery is faster than going in yourself.
I don’t. I cook at home… or eat leftovers I took home from my restaurant job.
Then why answer?
I’d like to add a stipulation to the question as I actually have friends like this.
How do you justify using take out delivery services for ALL your meals. I mean, come on y’all. wtf
Because I don’t want to go outside.
Coz I get to carry on doing what I’m doing while the food turns up. It a suitable temperature, takes no time at all for me to walk to the door to thank the driver and it’s totally worth the extra 20% it costs me compared to picking it up. Especially if I’ve been drinking
I have covid
I don’t live in America. Costs are reasonable. Dilevery is often free (probably hidden in the price of food, but food is only slightly more expensive, like 10% tops). Service fees are manageable, like 2-3 euros. Perhaps were still living the golden age of food delivery here and the increases will eventually come.
I paid for dash pass so delivery fees are pretty much negligible, the only extra cost is the upcharge and the tip.
Dashpass users pay more (and iOS usually more than Android). There’s plenty of anecdotal evidence. Speaking for myself, I paid more overall when using Dashpass than I did before using it.
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.
Fuck no. I am poor as fuck, I can’t tip bobody for nothing. Frozen pizza is the lazy meal for me. Because it’s 8 dollars not 80.
