I use Waitr occasionally but it is a bit pricey. Every now and then it's worth it when I just don't feel like going out or cooking. It's not very often though

Only if it's the weekend and I'm already drunk.

It's annoying. The food is marked up on the menu, then there's a service fee for the company, and you still have to tip.

You're basically going to end up paying an extra $10-15 than if you simply called and picked it up.

Used Uber Eats and Doordash. 80% of the time I have items missing. A few times drivers were on their way to pick up my food but never arrived at the restaurant. I then had to go and pick it up myself.
Was about to place an order with Buffalo Wild Wings, through Doordash, the other day. Order came to $53. Went to check out and the order came to $79, with tip. That's insane! So I just called the store and placed the exact same order and picked it up myself. Total, with tax, was like $48. So Doordash hiked the price up by like $5, plus all the other taxes, delivery fees, and tip. I'm never ordering through a delivery service again.

Never used any of them.
I live less than a mile from the places I order to go from so I’m old school about things.

Not me. I just throw open the sash and ask a young lad on the street to fetch my meals, for just a few shillings.

I DoorDash, My daily goal is $100 plus my gas. Some days I can do it in 5 hours, some days it takes 9. It beats the frick out of factory work.

It's not the Delivery person fricking you, it's the company. DD just took a dollar off our base pay.

Getting your stuff delivered is a luxury. If you can't tip - you get no trip

I spend entirely too much money on Door Dash. The Dash Pass is pretty helpful though
