Questions for those that say never door dash or uber eats…
What should I do when I travel (which I do weekly) and I get to my hotel after the hotel restaurant has shut down and I've had nothing to eat all day? Eat a protein bar and call it a night?
Should I also pick up my pizza when I order it for family movie night at home?
I have ZERO problem being efficient with my time and paying someone to deliver my food. If it saves me 30 mins of my time (getting in my car, driving to a restaurant, waiting on my order, driving home) then I'll gladly fork over $20 in tip / delivery fee.
I've probably ordered from Uber Eats 150+ times in the last 5 years. 95% of the time my food is in a sealed container/ bag and my food is hot and yummy. But I also pay for priority delivery (and extra $3). The few issues I've had I simply report the problem and get my money back.
I am one of those.
By "never", it does not mean never ever. It means just don't be lazy. If you want to send food to your mom in a different city, or to your kid in college or you have a party and don't want to leave the guest to go pickup, I think these are okay.
Be your own judge. There is no right or wrong answer.
