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.

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

I don’t see how our statements are mutually exclusive at all

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.

That convenience/handling charge is one of the reasons I never order delivery.
