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.

    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.

    Normally I use it when I don’t have time to cook something or go pick it up.

    I typically cook at home. I’m a decent enough cook that it’s cheap and it taste better.

    Unless I’m going fine dining. My cooking is better than most restaurants.
