DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip::The app-based delivery service is alerting customers that drivers may not take their order in a timely manner if there is no tip included upfront.
I have never used any of these food delivery services, and I’m pretty sure I never will.
I have younger family members that use it a lot, and I’ve asked how much they spend a month. Holy smokes, I could cook some damn nice meals for what they spend a month - one person has spent as much as a family of 4 would spend on groceries a month. My average home-cooked per-plate cost is about $3.50. Nicer meals (steak) may go to $5 per plate.
It’s understandable occasionally if you’re pushed for time; shit happens. Paying someone to deliver shitty fast food or whatever just because you can’t be bothered to cook makes no sense to me.
It doesn’t take much planning to get started making your own meals. And the more you do it, the bigger your pantry gets with all the pieces and parts you need for other meals. Even if it’s a lot of canned and boxed stuff, that’s a start.
Yeah, I’d rather just cook or even pay for those overpriced prepackaged ingredient packages to cook at home.
Probably healthier too, and lot of stuff at restaurants is prepackaged microwaved stuff anyways.
