Do you use them and is it worth it for you?

I'd say $8 to save me the drive is worth it when I'm stoned and lazy, but that has been almost every day now.

If food gets delivered to my house, i have to interact with the driver.
I prefer to have little to no interaction with other humans. So I always buy my food at the grocery store and use the self-check-out lanes.

>> No.13646678

I did doordash like three times when I signed up and got the "first X deliveries have no charge". As a service every time my food as on time, seemingly untouched, and warm but in practice I don't see the point. Fees and tips aside (because it's really a luxury) any food you'd be getting from it would usually be sit down places and the quality of their food sitting in someone's car is automatically lower in the first place let alone the fact a lot of the shit you'd order as a part of a meal if you were with someone is not something you'd probably be willing to pay for as a delivery item. The only time I felt satisfied with the purchase was getting some Chinese food since no place delivers and I still ended up ordering like $20 more dollars worth of food than I would have picked up just to justify using the app.

since you pay in advanced with skip, you can actually leave instructions for the driver to just knock and leave the food on your front porch, they don't wanna talk to you either.

I've been tempted to do this, but I feel like if I give up the five seconds of "here's you food"/"thanks", I've really gone too far.

Usually an electronic tip, before it's even delivered. Apparently they get told what the tip is to and get to choose whether or not to take on your order if the tip's too low.

I only order pizza and other food that can't really be tampered with.
My buddy who worked with grubhub for a while told me that it's normal for delivery drivers to take a couple of fries for example.

No. I enjoy driving and I don’t like the loss of control over when I get my food that is par for the course with delivery apps. Fuck waiting 45 minutes (to an hour and a half!) when I can head out and be back home and enjoying my still warm takeout in 15 minutes

What's the point? It's not like you can eat a lot of the fries, or the customer will notice. So if you only eat one or two fries, you are just teasing yourself with food, and you get hungry

I have worked for Grubhub as well as pizza places and I've never messed with anyone's food. Even if they're known bad tippers. The worst I've done is prioritized other deliveries over people that don't tip if I'm having to go out of my way to get to them and have multiple deliveries. I feel like the people that pay extra should get better service. But that's only happened a couple of times.

At least here, if I order food delivery for just myself, the delivery fee is just too much.

It's a power thing for them.
I mean you gotta have a pretty shitty life to lower yourself so far that you would deliver another human being his food, a task most people could easily do on their own.
Stealing some fries makes them feel like they are "sticking it to the man".
Now I always make sure to look my delivery beings up and down slowly and then give them a wide smirk while giving them their 2 dollars.

>> No.13647028

Nope. Zoomer shit. I’m the kind of nigga who will drive to pick up a pizza to avoid the delivery charge+tip jew. Also the type to just park and go into the joint if the drive thru is obnoxious long. Not too good to use the fast food apps though saves a lot of time and a little bit of money.

How do you use flour with steak? Just frying it?

>> No.13647198

I do about once every 2 months but pretty much immediately feel the buyer's remorse. To justify the fees and shit I usually get 40-50 bucks worth of food, but I guess it evens back out since I tip percentages. There is a huge service quality difference between the apps. Postmates is the worst, uber eats is fairly hit or miss when it comes to getting an order right, Grubhub hasn't let me down yet save for cancelling a late night order I made once an hour after I placed it, and by then everything was closed so I couldn't reorder

American delivery companies are terrible.
There are too many of them, each compete for stores, some big names even refuse everyone.
They have a delivery fee, outsource the shit to 3rd parties independent of the restaurant.

In my third world shithole
>one single monopoyl delivery service, every restaurant bows to their whim or else
>no delivery fee, no mark ups, excellent customer service, if something is wrong on your order they can fix it
>restaurants delvier it, no 3rd parties
>quite a lot of restaurants everywhere

Yeah never thought I would love my third world and never thought I would love a monopoly, but fuck american delviery system, its decades behind.

It feels sad to use it here, I pay $5 delivery fee for shit marked up $2 and have it carried by an illeterate old lady who cant read the notes directions.

>> No.13647683 [DELETED] 

I've only ever used them when there's some promo going on like no delivery charge or something because other wise the fees you have to pay are just not worth it.

Also LOL @ tipping delivery. I despise tipping in general and will clench my teeth through tipping pizza delivery cause its just so routine but I refuse to tip on some teenager bringing me Panda Express

Nope and nope. I've been 'in store' waiting on my order and have seen the 'food delivery app' orders sit for a while til they get enough of them to make it worth the driver's while to make the run. Getting cold fast food and paying a premium for it is for suckers.

Lol no way, getting food is a great excuse for me to get off my lazy ass and I'm not going to pay some teens $8 to drive a mcchicken to my house.

I do know this guy who's really bad with money and gets literally everything deliverred. He always complains about how much money it is and how they get orders wrong, but all I can say is "get it yourself dumbass the place is 10 minutes away" everytime. I'll never forget the time I was on the phone with him while he had a single cup of coffee deliverred to his house.

99% of restaurants will have a handful of extra fries sitting around. Knowing this I'll just ask if the driver wants a handful of fries next time I'm working somewhere with fries instead of paperwork.

No. Not grocery delivery. Not delivery restaurant food. Not anything. No.
I like picking out my own groceries cuz I don't trust others to pick out good apples or whatever the fuck produce I'm getting and I've honestly never gotten any restaurant delivery of any kind because it's not something that's done where I'm from.

No because I dont support slave/demeaning labor. When you use these apps you are basically saying its ok for people to work like delivery peasants while earning bare minimum to make a living, while the rich kids who own the app coast on investor money, no matter if their idea is actually profitable or not.

All the time. Uber Eats is cheaper than a DUI, and I drink a lot. Cooking at home is a pain in the ass with a roommate who works a different schedule than me, or even just deciding that I don't want the shit I have in the fridge.

I make $45 an hour at an insanely stressful job, and since I only eat one meal a day, I have zero problems having someone bring that shit straight to me for $15-$20. It's a godsend when all that used to be around was pizza or Chinese. Now the world's my oyster.

No, they're an absolute cancer on restaurants and city infrastructure.
