  This is something that should work but doesn’t. I’d punch somebody if I had to wait 40 minutes for a meal.

    I prefer that my food is handled by the minimum amount of people before it gets to me. Also I’m not interested in supporting such an exploiting business model.

      My theory on delivery drivers is that they might get paid shit wages but their families are eating well.

        If their families are eating well, that means the customers are not.

        Something doesn’t jive in that equation.

  I’ve done this - because my employer was paying. It was interesting, the food costs more than if you were buying it directly, and then you pay the driver on top of that. Our regular pickup order was something like $30 more expensive with Uber, and you had to wait a lot longer to get it. I honestly don’t understand why people use Uber Eats. It’s cheaper and faster to just go get the food yourself.

    The reason it’s more expensive, cause UberEats takes a cut from the list price. A lot of places added cash to make up for the loss.

    I guess it’s good if someone doesn’t have a car or a mode of transport, but then I’d just eat something local or venture out further as a special treat.
