And this is why I cook my own food. It's absurd to throw away money for some asshole corporation who doesn't give a shit about you. It's cheaper and healthier to just cook for yourself anyway.

I'm not saying ubereats' rates aren't outrageous, but if you make a certain amount of money and are busy, it's still worth the time saving. There are enough of those people to keep it going. Plus the ridiculous rate incentivized consumers towards their subscription model. But yeah I barely eat out or order in these days and definitely more healthy.

It doesn't even save you time. It often takes an hour to get your food and when you do, either stuff is missing because the driver stole from you or the food is all nasty, soggy and cold. Then you have to argue with their customer service who may or may not give you a refund depending on their mood and how much they hate their job that day.

Nah, fuck that. We ought to encourage people to cook on their own more, and/or pay our neighbors to cook for us if we really can't for some reason. We don't need corporate garbage to feed ourselves.
