Also, that's what you get for living in the fucking Bay Area.

I don't know why that shit is so popular, I lived in a metro area and tried Uber Eats and DoorDash and had negative experiences with both and swore them off entirely. The restaurant I ordered from through DoorDash even called me right after I placed my order and told me to use someone else next time or just come in because they always have troubles with their drivers.

Uber Eats was some whole other shit, first of all it said my driver was a bald 30 year old man and a 20 something year old smoke show showed up instead, she had changed my order from teriyaki chicken to spicy teriyaki for some unknown reason, and she also took like 45 fucking minutes to deliver it.

>>14619831
I'm in a similar boat. I'll only ever use these apps for takeout so there's no shitty service fees on my end, and only when they have a good discount promotion going on. Getting 30% off any restaurant is pretty good, and the restaurants themselves are the ones shooting themselves in the foot by using a third-party service.

>>14619847
They charge more on the 3rd party site than the restaraunts so it must be a really good deal to make up for the overcharging

>>14619905
Most restaurants don't do that shit here. You can always look up their menu and compare, anyways. Usually there's no difference. I've actually found a couple where they've forgotten to update their UberEats prices and are actually cheaper than the restaurant itself.
Add on one of the million promotional coupons Uber throws at you when you don't use their services every day of the week, and you're usually getting a far better deal than dealing with the restaurant itself.

>>14619815

>>14620027
Had to look it up, but apparently the service fee is what goes to the people who run Uber, to cover the dispatch issues, customer support, etc. Doesn't apply if you order pickup.

Also, lmao at OP's ripoff Bay Area rates. Where I am, apparently the service fee is 10% of the subtotal, and the "small order fee" is $2 on anything under $12. Still fucking Jewish as shit.

BItch when this pandemic hit I have stayed clear form fast food places, fuck that shit. You gotta cook more dude, atleast do slow cooker meals. All you gotta do is throw it in an there you have it! I have ordered delivery before but form pizza places and one chinese and I have them leave it at the door. But thats a blue moon thing for me.

>>14622251
You sound like a working class chump. I bet you thought it would be a great "investment", how you would wake up to a warm, healthy breakfast to start off your long day. Maybe, you even had a couple thoughts about all the other nifty little uses you could find for the thing, how it would help you cook healthier meals in general, shed a couple pounds off the old gut, boost your confidence around work and with the ladies. Yeah, maybe that slow cooker would start your life cooking again, wouldn't it? I can see your strained hands holding the box and reading through it carefully at the store. A little bit pricey, but you're the type of guy who thinks everything is more than you can spend, aren't you. And look what happened to you. Look what the slow cooker did to you. Fucked you over, and made you clean it like a useless bitch. You don't even fucking like oatmeal. Piece of shit, you've been repeating those three words your whole life, haven't you. Yeah, how was work after that piece of shit fucked you over? I bet it was on your mind the whole day, you probably didn't say shit to nobody. Can't be telling people about your mistakes. How your little fix yourself plan, failed you. Don't want people to start thinking you're the failure. You're the piece of shit, all along. You don't want that do you? You don't want to be the piece of shit everybody secretly whispers about, do you? Was your father a piece of shit like you? I bet he never had a slow cooker. He had a woman, a house, a damn good job. I bet it's slow cooking you the fuck alive, isn't it. Comparing yourself to him. How one day when all the steam runs our of your life, you'll discover how you're nothing more than burnt shit to be scrapped off and thrown in the trash.

calculating gas savings over delivery fee is completely retarded. if you need to save you shouldn't be eating out, especially KFC. get that shit at the grocery store deli instead.

>>14619755
Been driving doordash to stay afloat while between jobs. My guess is that with the pandemic there's a shit ton more drivers or something, because I never get any legit restaurants for orders. It's just college students and hoodrats getting Wawa and fast food delivered all day long. I don't know why they fucking do it. $3 automatic fee, and probably at least a $3 tip or I know I'm not taking the drive. So a single combo meal from McDonald's winds up costing you like $18. I used delivery all the time when I was working, but I'd at least get good food for about the same amount.

Millennials wonder why they are broke when they spend $75 a day on McDonald's. You could buy a house and a car for free if you would learn how to cook a fried egg and tasters choice coffee

>>14623639
>It's just college students and hoodrats
Only really ignorant people would willingly pay an extra $20 of nothing, when instead, they could instead buy another $15 worth of food, get that extra food for later meals, and only have a $5 delivery and tip charge. More food for the same price.

>>14623608
>calculating gas savings over delivery fee is completely retarded. if you need to save you shouldn't be eating out, especially KFC. get that shit at the grocery store deli instead.
This. Delivery that isn't in the time of covid should not be about cost savings or prices, but rather being literally too busy to pull the kids out of the pool, or from the books you're studying, or being too sick and weary from a cold or flu, so you can drive somewhere and back. It's about the cost of your time vs somethng else you could be doing. Even with that, you should be ordering something worth the tip and delivery fees.

>>14619755

>>14619755
Is tip a required fee? I thought tipping was optional

>service fee AND delivery fee

>>14623729
It isn't. I don't know about every place, but with Doordash, I'll get an alert telling me how much the minimum pay I'll get it ($3 fee, other incentive pays, and the pre-entered tip) so I generally just reject taking anything below $6-7 most times unless it's like 1-2 miles out in the suburbs. I know people that really hustle with delivering will work multiple apps at once, so they might take those shit $3 ones, but they're going to make you low priority and you'll probably get cold shit. Do what you want, but you'll get your shit quicker if you tip well.

Absolute kikery. Not to mention you get some random nig coming to deliver it and the food's probably cold by the time it arrives. At least pizza holds up and the fucking pizza place is just price+fee+tax+tip. I'd rather pay $14 to have $10 of Pizza Hut delivered than $30 to have $8 of Taco Bell.

>>14624299
>90 minute + old McDonald's
Don't do that to yourself.

>>14624264
I would much rather pay the fee and tip for a local pizza place because I know that they're the ones who recieve the money. This goes for any restaurant that does their own delivery service. Why people think paying these third party services is a good thing is beyond me. It's better and more profitable for the restaurant if you either go there and get it from them directly or have them deliver it directly.

>>14624314
It's literally out of laziness or inability to get it. It does eventually reach a point where a business picks a partner to do deliveries with and that might be okay, I've had Little Caesar's deliver and that was all DoorDash but through the LC app so I didn't know. It also didn't have a bigger markup than other chain delivery pizzas; I guess my point is that if there's enough demand eventually the restaurants will make an effort to have better delivery service.

>>14623729
Remember the meager tip is the only thing going to the driver.
Everything else is going to some faggot in silicone valley sitting on a exercise ball with a dildo up his ass laughing at fat asses like OP for over paying to get fast food delivered to his house.

Literally this. Uber Eats and DoorDash literally hire anybody. That's why the drivers are usually subhumans--they couldn't find jobs anywhere else

I don't see the outrage here at all, you are paying someone from another company to pick up and deliver food for your. Either order more shit to offset the cost or just don't use their service.

Epic savings

>>14624314
Only pizza and Chinese places have delivery anymore, and 80% of the time, Manuel or Ping on the other side of the phone fuck up your order. Uber or whatever at least refunds me if I have a complaint.

Anyways, this shit is cheaper than a DUI.

>>14619755
You know you can easily tip $0. I do it every time. Once, the delivery driver must've remembered my house, and tried to fuck with my food. The sticker on the bag was ripped. I sent support a picture, and they not only refunded me the order, they gave me free delivery AND 20% off my next order.
I still ate the original order, because everything inside was intact

>>14625767
You can tip zero, you'll just usually have to wait longer for your order. The driver probably isn't getting screwed. If no one wants to take the order, the company will keep adding extra pay from their profits to it to keep the customer happy until a driver does. Or you get one really desperate driver. I depends on the procedure for the restaurant though, some will make it as soon as it's ordered, other times once drivers take the delivery up, but drivers can take it, and then dip out before they pick it up, So you run the risk of getting cold food. Which you can complain about, and get refunded, but if you do that a bunch of times, even if warranted, the app will just ban your account. The real patrician take is to just walk into any fast casual place around lunch or dinner and just fucking grab a bag of food for free, they have them all just sitting out and I only get someone checking my credentials like 5% of the time.

>>14625825
Kek I haven't thought of this. Go into a Tim's or McDonald's and pick up the mobile orders. Genius.

>>14625836
>McDonald's
That won't work, McDonald's actually has to read off the order numbers, probably just because they get so fucking many all god damn day long. I'm talking about shit like Chipotle but YMMV because every place seems to do it different. 5 guys keeps theirs behind the counter. All the shit like TGIF and Chile's are up for grabs, but their waitstaff will usually be the ones to make sure I'm not just yoinking food.

>>14619755
>intentionally paying the small order fee
>tipping
>not using a coupon to cover the rest
retard

I was at work and ordered japanese style curry via caviar from a place that was too far away to walk to and because of Corona the bus schedules wouldn't be reliable enough to get me back fast enough. It was a $15 entree but I think I paid something like $23 for it after fees, and that was with a "first time's free delivery" coupon code. The only reason I ordered from there in the first place was because I didn't even know the place was still open and remembered liking it, but it wasn't worth it.

Christ, by the time the food reaches you you've paid an 800% upcharge on a few dollars worth of food. So many "poor" people eating "poverty" meals like this and complain about having no money at the end of the month.

>>14619755
I'm not sure what you're having a go at here. I'm guessing it's all the hidden charges added onto the final price.
This is very common in the US. They give a headline price to reel you in but they add a shit load of taxes and charges at the till.
Other countries the price you see is the price you pay. You don't need to know every charge and the rate and have a calculator on hand to work out the final cost.
This system is unlikely to change because of the political lobbying by business in the US.

Chipotle used to have a rack with their mobile orders just sitting by the door but they started putting them behind the counter after homeless people started coming in and grabbing them.

>>14626101
I guess it hasn't been enough of an issue here yet. I started doing it because I'd get stuck at the one on campus and would have to wait 15-30 for my 1 or 2 orders, so I just started grabbing ones sitting on the rack that looked tasty on my way out.

how the fuck do you kids expect a delivery company to make money if they don't charge anything on top of the meal price? They're essentially saying "We can get you the meal, but it'll cost $10", but they give whiny babies like you the fantasy that you're saving money when you buy something "not small", or that it only costs more because of the gubberment with taxes.

They're gamifying the purchase, rather than charge a flat rate.

>>14619755
>paying

>>14626234
They already charge more for the base price of items, plus charging service fees.

>>14626234

You’re forgetting that these delivery apps are also charging the restaurants for the service, often at extortionate rates. The prices are higher on the apps/sites because the restaurant owners need to raise the prices on their food so that they can still make money after Uber/Grubhub/etc take 25% of the total sale. This model is not sustainable; as it’s the delivery apps making all of the money at the expense of the restaurants, delivery drivers, and the customers.

>>14619950
t. proud EBT card holder and housing voucher recipient

>>14626561

Also I forgot to mention that these fees to restaurants are often in excess of 30% and have gotten so bad that many cities and states have literally had to implement caps on these percentages for the sake of the restaurants staying in business. Not to mention that Uber is using the data from the apps to determine the most popular items in a given area, then opening up their own ghost kitchens serving that items to compete directly against the restaurants they’re supposedly “partnered” with.

Look up the Uber founder's new venture, funded by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund. What this guy is saying isn't necessarily the explicit strategy (yet? Idk may be more official now) but when you read between the lines it becomes exceedingly obvious. Should be interesting, and honestly makes a lot of sense, as the next step for Uber Eats is definitely to become rather than food delivery, a proprietary food network enhanced by Uber Eats' delivery capability

Amazon does the same thing with their third party stuff. They analyze search queries for recurring trends and use that data when developing their in-house products and compare it against price trends. Then, when you search a product, let's say a hard case for a Nintendo Switch, they promote the Amazon branded product before the official products and at a significantly lower price.
