Anyone else not sure about uber eats? The $5 fee doesn't seem worth it compared to just getting the food yourself.

>> No.11552950

Yeah no shit, only lazy people use it.

>> No.11552959

Why can't you buy your food by yourself?

That's the price of convenience.

I have a car with very small doors and it's difficult to get in and out of it. It's certainly worth the $5 to get my evening McDonalds delivered.

They're either drunk, can't drive, on drugs, elderly, sick, lazy, and/or live in a populated area where it's easier to have shit delivered and worth the fee.

>> No.11553444

in Barcelona we have that, but Glovo is much better, they only charge 1'90€ and deliver anything, not just food

I work with a guy in his mid 30’s. He was shocked to learn he needs to be on blood pressure medication. Since he started Uber eats has brought him Burger King, KFC, McDonalds, etc on a daily basis. I’m a fat fuck, but I love my bourbon & beer + my wife is a great cook. I might eat the shit he eats once or twice a month.

I’ll never use it.
The restaurants get like 40% what they’d usually make.
Good quality will plummet bc fat lazy cunts
I’ll forever have to cook now and cheat nights will now be less frequent where we must eat out at finer dining places.
Well, at least I’ll learn faster and faster to be a killer dad cook in da house.

But seriously, Uber eats is a disease.

I've never had food delivered to me. I wouldn't know how to interact with the delivery person.

The only time I use Uber Eats/Doordash/Grubhub etc is when I'm at work, ordering with coworkers, because we can't leave work to get food, and so we can all split the fees.

>>11555865
If you've paid and tipped on your card on the app, 99% of the time they hand you your food and leave without a single word. Usually it's some dirty Somalian or some fuck that doesn't speak English anyway.

I order two meals. It still isn't economic but I make a lot of money.

Tfw there's no delivery fee for uber eats in my country

UberEats already takes 30% of the bill from the restaurant. The $5 delivery fee is just Jewish.

>every one posts like they live alone and never have company
$5 isn't much when you have a party, guests over for an event, or simply gaming with a few friends. Great time to have food delivered instead of missing out on fun times while working in the kitchen.

>> No.11556953

>>11552947
If you hesitate to spend $5 in any context, you shouldn't be using Uber Eats. You should be on the streets practicing your panhandling.

Actually Uber takes a smaller cut than that. The olacwi work for uses it.

>> No.11557496

I mean when you're working in the office and you want to get some actual work done then it would make sense to not have to take the time to go all the way down to the street and walk or drive to the place, wait in line to order, then wait for your food, then reverse that trip.

It's called efficiency and productivity. Especially if what you're craving is unreasonably far away.

If you're busy on projects, sick, have unexpected company over, or just would rather start a camp fire instead of driving all over the place, and have 5 bucks to spare, go for it.
Just use it in moderation

How about friday for example. I did 5 deliveries and made 60 bucks. The time it took me was 3 hours. And the deliveries weren't back to back, there was about a 10-20 minutes wait between each one.

How much gas did you go through? You need to subtract that.

>> No.11558610

20 bucks an hour is good to ME. I have no degree, and like 2 years of community college. As far as gas? I didn't use much really, maybe a gallon. I also drive a honda civic so i make great gas mileage.
