For those that continually use services like Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash, etc., how does justify using the cost?

With fees and tip added, it's almost double the cost, the food arrives cold and wait time is longer than you picking it up yourself.

Coz I get to carry on doing what I'm doing while the food turns up. It a suitable temperature, takes no time at all for me to walk to the door to thank the driver and it's totally worth the extra 20% it costs me compared to picking it up. Especially if I've been drinking

Yeah, where I am, it's about 20-25%, depending on the size of the order.

Delivery is usually about £5 and the food is gonna be £20-£40

UK makes sense.

No sure where that person is at. in US between surcharge, bullshit fees and tip, it can easily hi 50% on single persons order.
