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.

We don’t tip people for just doing their jobs.

Ah but employers do actually pay them right? I’ve done Uber eats previously and if I don’t get tipped I get anywhere between 2-6 dollars for up to 45 minutes of work between getting to the restaurant, grabbing the food, and driving to the user.

At that point what’s the point of doing it? I can’t imagine that even pays for the petrol

Fuck that, they are out in the weather so I don’t have to be.

Now, if you are just handing me a coffee you can fuck right off

They don’t have to accept the delivery in the first place. They choose to do so

Not when most the above add a “delivery fee” AND a “convience” fee on top of taxes and expected tip. One charge would be iffy but ok. Two charges AND A TIP is just robbery.

Why would I tip someone when they get paid?
