How do you justify continually using take out delivery services?

posted 11 months ago

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.

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
