We looked at GrubHub and said no when the delivery fee and tip would've been more than our meal cost.

I can't be arsed to wait for food delivery. I'll pick it up if I don't have the supplies and time to cook it. I was thinking I want a CWS for om Taco bell, but I still have planned-overs in my fridge. Also, the upcharge on food delivery apps are insane. I'll bake a frozen pizza instead for 5 dolla.
It absolutely baffles me that people are willing to spend that kind of money on low-quality takeout food that often arrives cold. I live just five minutes away from several five-star restaurants. If I wanted to, I could call ahead and pick up a fresh, high-quality meal in half the time it takes for a soggy, lukewarm fast food burger to show up at my doorstep—and I’d pay only a third of the price.
I genuinely don’t understand the appeal.

They don’t deliver on e-bikes in NYC? That’s 90% of deliveries here in dense-ish urban environments.

Sorry how exactly is tax part of the delivery fee? You pay that either way right? And the service fee?
I mean its a thing useful for disabled people and even currently in NYC if the time limit to delivery was more variable a personal vehicle would be far from necessary given public transportation.
