Now that's Uber Eats premium! When I order the driver grabs a soggy bag off the floor board of their 1983 Honda Horizon and throws it across my yard trying to hit the door. (may be exaggerated)

What's next, riding the bus being cheaper than calling a taxi?

Your organs will grow back, don't worry. Unlimited organs!

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago

Every order comes with more organs though. You just have to think of the first one as an investment.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Not willing to trade organs for it

I think thats's only a payment option for Canadian Ubereats, iirc

Wtf $30 for food delivery? It's like 10% of that here or usually free if you make big enough order

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Nah, it's an exaggeration. But they charge you 3 times. Once because the products are more expensive on the app. Secondly with the "service fee" which is like 3-4$ and third time with a delivery fee which is again 2-5$ depending on distance. For big orders the 2nd and 3rd things stay the same so it ends up mattering less. But the fact that every product is between .30 and 2$ more expensive... you usually end up paying between 10$ extra for a 15$ order and 30$ for a 80$ order. It's become a bit ridiculous, imo

In my neck of the (american) woods, it usually is "free delivery! No fees if your meal is $15 or more!" according to their ads, but then they artifically raise the menu prices in the app. A meal might cost you $12 with tax at a burger place near me, but on ubereats / doordash that same meal is $19 because they raised the menu price. That way when you go to pay, it says there was "no extra fee".

Are you trying to guilt me into tipping my postman?

[-] Catfish@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago

One of these are paid by the hour (in some cases by the state or even federal government) and the other is just a poor person who gets paid by the order and only barely makes enough off that to afford gas for the next delivery.

Here in Costa Rica, a 1080p 144hz monitor in Amazon could cost $149, but adding the delivery fees and stuff it ends up on $239. Get me out of there pls

[-] Lightor@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The obvious difference is speed. You can ask Uber for food and get it within an hour of placing that order. I go down to UPS and mail myself a package and it'll take a few days.

Here in the UK Deliveroo is cheaper than mail and there's no chance you'll get your mail in 15 minutes. You'll be happy to get it the next day.
