re: Delivery fees are getting out of hand

a lot of pompous jerks in this thread

I go get them myself. Usually quicker anyway.

You’re a doper too?

NOLA: is Mama Rosa's still on Rampart and do they still do their deliveries by bicycle?

Reading this, the manpowered , don't need a parking space, or collision insurance, etc. makes even more sense.

I think they've been gone since Katrina.

Stop being lazy and drive the 4 mile round trip and pick it up?

In my recent experience this also saves an hour because they can't keep drivers on staff. And yes they cooked your pizza more than an hour before you got it and they don't give a shite. And you tipped them for the privilege.

My local pizza hut is 2 miles from my house and they were wanting to charge me a $4.50 delivery fee on a $15 order. I still don't even know what this fee is for since it doesn't go to the driver. Seems excessive to me.

Don’t forget the tip!

That adds another 1-4 dollars depending on how cheap you are.

So the best course of action is to get your lazy arse out of the house and pick it up yourself.

That is why I don’t do Instacart. For one they jack up the prices, then charge a delivery fee, and then add your tip.

By the time I add all the stuff to a hundred dollar grocery order, I just assume get it myself, and fight the welfare queens at the grocery store. Now Rouses and Walmart do not add fees for in store pick up, and do not increase the price from what is listed at the store. Rouses used to depend on Instacart which had its own price list, but they recently launched their own app without the inflated prices. From what I heard they still use Instacart or one of the other services to make the actual deliveries.

I placed a door dash order this weekend and the fees were too much, so just drove to pick it up. This isn’t the first time I’ve opted out of delivery. I’ll pay for convenience, but geez…

$4.99 delivery
15% service fee
Dasher Tip on top of that…

A $40 food order becomes $58.99, not including tax.

You forgot “high”.

Then go pick it up yourself.
