FWIW... this may be a known fact but Ubereats jacks the prices WAY up. Example - I considered ordering Uber eats because they frequently have BOGO on certain items at a neighborhood place we like. It's like a 7 minute walk so DH and I decided to walk down there and see if it made sense to order online and get the BOGO or just order from the restaurant. Ubereats was 50% more expensive... for instance $12 in the restaurant at $18 in the app... yes, if we went with the BOGO we'd save money but that restricted what we could order AND meant we'd both have to get the same thing.

I've ordered Ubereats exactly once when I was traveling for work - it's convenient because the receipts go directly to my expense report, but work travel is the only time it's going to make sense for me.

If you didn't know this you're not the brightest bulb. Of course they jack the price up. That's common knowledge.

We don't use it often but if my kid (who can't yet drive) is home alone he will sometimes order it. Yes, it's a huge rip off but it is what it is. Convenient. You pay for that.

This. I cannot fathom people paying strangers to deliver their food.
I rarely even eat out unless I know the restaurant owners and staff. Most people really have no clue.

So basically never and nowhere? How many places can one possibly know the owner and all the staff? Unless it's some tiny place run by 5 people.

You have some serious issues.

Who do you think is handling your food before it gets to you everywhere else, btw?

That’s a lot of hate packed into one sentence. FYI, Uber Eats requires background checks—including criminal history—before approving drivers, and using someone else’s account is against their policy and gets people deactivated. Also, associating immigrant status or health conditions like HIV with danger is both factually wrong and incredibly prejudiced. You might want to examine why you’re so comfortable stereotyping working people who are just trying to make a living.

Imagine getting this worked up over someone else ordering takeout. Hope you find peace before my fries get cold.

Jokes on your. They are always delivered cold, and pre-sampled.

This isn't like the olden days; the bags are always stapled closed. Mine comes hot, sealed, and untouched.

Yeah, that's foolproof and cannot be defeated.

Who pissed on your cheerios today?

The delivery person??!! lol

One reason is that many people in urban areas don’t have cars. It’s a convenience that many think is worth it.m

Exactly. And even if you do have a car, are you going to get it out of the garage and spend 45 min plus potentially each way and deal with finding parking to pick up your food or is it worth an extra 10 bucks to have it delivered? Mostly the latter.

Bullcrap. And it's hardly urban apt dwellers, the most prolific DoorDash people are suburban SAHMs and WFH lazy asses.

You are either a lobbyist or bot for these parasitic industry or in severe denial. You think we don't have eyes? I see the dregs of society picking up the food and their disgusting cars. You guys are insane leaving your food alone with these people.

No, no a little loose sticker on the bag totally prevents any tampering or bed bugs or God knows what else in the car by mentally ill drug addict delivery drivers, who probably aren't even the person who signed up for the delivery app.

I believe the last two posters are the same person. I get that you're upset, but lashing out with sweeping insults and dehumanizing working people says a lot more about you than it does about food delivery. If you truly believe all drivers are 'mentally ill drug addicts' and 'dregs of society,' maybe step back and ask why you're so invested in vilifying these people. You sound less concerned about food safety and more angry that poor people exist in your line of sight.

Or maybe I just understand that criticizing low-wage workers isn’t the moral high ground you think it is. It’s possible to recognize industry flaws without demonizing the people doing the actual labor—try it sometime.

My characterization and description of the servant "labor" isn't the issue, the issue is the Wall Street parasites who own these skimming, race to the bottom apps and the lazy ass wannabe or wanna-feel bourgeois who use them, thus enabling this entire predatory industry.

You say the issue is the corporations, but you spend all your energy insulting the people trying to make ends meet and those who use a service for convenience. If your real enemy is 'Wall Street parasites,' maybe aim your fire at them instead of punching down and moralizing over someone else’s lunch order. I actually agree that the gig economy has serious structural issues and that companies like Uber Eats exploit both workers and consumers in different ways. But I don’t think blaming individuals who use the service—or the people doing the deliveries—solves the root problem.
