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 don't. I have intermittently delivered on some of these apps and I think it's a hilarious practice that forces you to understand how poorly the US is designed for delivery

It's especially crazy to me since rn Kroger etcetera is trying to get people to order by doing it for free over a threshold. Costco has been doing that forever but they want you to spend $75 and you have to get costco sized amounts

Also how do you justify the absurd amounts of packaging waste?

I don't. It's ridiculous with delivery fees and tips. I have a freezer and a Costco membership, and I'm learning to cook which is actually gratifying.
