How do you justify continually using take out delivery services? (self.asklemmy)

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.

I don't. I cook at home... or eat leftovers I took home from my restaurant job.

Then why answer?

Because the question wasn't just addressed to those that do, and because if OP is under the mistaken impression that constant deliveries are the norm, it's incumbent upon us respondents to correct that error.

But it was, it is right in the first paragraph.

The best I will give you is that you were not explicitly excluded but you were implicitly excluded.

I don’t disagree with your constant delivery reason, just to be clear.

Fucking DoorDash is ridiculous, even for pick up orders, they mark up the fucking price.

Because normalizing this shit enables more parasitic tech companies.
