Sometimes, people really want their taco order to ride on its own private taxi.

And yet you still keep ordering.
Well I deleted my Uber account ages ago so, no.
Oh that was more of a royal you instead of the singular
Fair point <3
Well one is a service and one is a business so...
Er do people actually pay that high of fees for Uber eats? Maybe in NYC or something? I don't really use it if I can help it but I've never seen fees that high. Edit: although I will note that many of my experiences with GrubHub/doordash/Uber eats end with me looking at the fees, saying "yeah that's way too much", and closing the browser tab.
I've had high fees but things are hidden, like, increased prices, tips, fees and stuff? I got my license last year so now I can drive on my own to get stuff but being in the burbs without transport in these poorly designed towns blows.
I honesty don’t understand how they are still a service. Who pays for that?

A letter doesn’t cost as much as overpriced food.
The post office looks cheap because they get paid to deliver those 300 pieces of junk per week.
Imagine not making new emails to get the new customer discount
And guess which one gets paid more.
One is an essential service paid for mostly by the government, another is a profit-focused, privately owned company used to enrich the owners and pay the minimum amount to employees.
It's a service offered in exchange for currency. No one is forcing anyone to request food delivery service over Uber or whatever. It's pure and simple convenience
The other is a state service, which might surprise some but manages quite a lot of citizens private information. Certainly nothing as banal as food
