    Nothing wrong with it rarely or if you’re disabled, but paying $30 for McDonald’s or whatever on a regular basis is insane

      There’s zero indication that OP is ordering delivery often, so I’m not sure why you have jumped to that conclusion?

      Besides, whether or not ordering delivery often depends on what you’re ordering and on your disposable income. McDonald’s is far from the only option, plenty of real restaurants offer delivery too these days. If you can afford it, you can probably eat a fairly healthy diet even if you never cook. Not for me, in no small part because I usually enjoy cooking, but I’m not gonna judge people who don’t. Doesn’t affect me, I’m not gonna go out of my way to be annoyed.

        My post was in no way attacking OP. I was just soapboxing about food delivery services that charge insane fees for something which, in my opinion, is mostly useless.

        I fully admit I’m being judgmental. And people are free to disagree with me.

      So I don’t really understand why you are paying so much for food? Looking at the local delivery app, I just now chose a “big Mac mcmenue” containing a big Mac, fries and a 0.5l drink. This would cost me 10,89€, let’s say 13€ with a very generous tip.

      At this moment it seems 13€ are worth $13,48. What are you ordering that costs more than double of that?

        1. Almost everyone on uber eats (and similar services) mark up their items. This sausage burrito meal is $10 on uber eats and is 8 something in store

        2. Delivery fee 5.99

        3. tip (whatever you want to pay)

        For a normal meal this will more than double the price. Order just about anything else and you’re easily at $30 with still almost half the price being the delivery.
