..whixh is why I do not use any of those apps.
From what I hear, the driver’s get barely anything.
Cook your own food. Tastes better, fresher, cheaper. Easy to learn to cook.
Tip as much as you feel is deserved, but tip only on the base cost of the food, before any fees or taxes.
They aren’t providing a service other than delivering your food. Tipping on the bottom line is free money for them.
I have never used any of these food delivery programs and have no intentions of ever using one. We are generally pretty picky on what and where we go to eat. The last thing I would ever do is let some youngin that can’t figure out which bathroom to use, deliver me prepared food.
Maybe Grandpa Sniffy McBadfinger will go after those junk fees as well.
Not holding my breath...
Never use them. Don’t want some guy dragging his man tackle through my food and adding any extra salad dressing.
Typical idiocy - demanding higher wages yet expecting others to provide labor, ideas, and property for free. I’m pretty sure the people who use these services noticed that their Starbucks cost $16 to be delivered instead of $7 if they went through the drive through themselves.
same here. Never used them, never will.
So I went to the site to see what the price differential was, but entirely lost interest.
Did you guys know that Dennis Rodman got a face tattoo of his girlfriend Yella Yella?
I wish I wasn’t too lazy to post pictures.
If restaurant /delivery drivers make the minimum wage, then should the 15-20% tip come to an end? Or at least significantly reduced?
This seems to ge the case in other countries.
Didja read the one about the ‘bonus holes’ yet? Could be life altering.
I used to be able to order from my local take-out places for a one or two-dollar delivery fee. Now, it’s astronomical, plus the tip.
I no longer do delivery at all.
I’ve used them a few times and have never had an issue.
It’s the same idea as pizza or Chinese delivery, but a wide range of restaurants are now included. A driver picks up the sealed bag from the restaurant and delivers it.
But, it’s these exact fees that are being discussed which make me pause. I’ll look for deals on the site that has no delivery fees for that day. Only then will I use it. The few times I’ve used it tho, I was happy for the service. It’s just not something you’d want to do, but occasionally.
Well this is not a secret. Price of doing business, dont like it, dont use them.
We don’t do fast food, My wife cooks, and we never eat processed, heat and eat crap either and are very picky as to what restaurants we go to. Too many variable nowadays on who is preparing and how our food is prepared.
I found a sure-fire way to avoid those fees. You, too, can find it by drinking a cupful of my magic elixir every night before bed. Send me $19.95 and I’ll share my secret with you.
I only order when I’m desperate, too tired or sick to fix something for dinner. I know they rip us off, if they were decent they would get triple the business.
