in addition to the delivery fees and service fees, the "menu" fees on the app are also higher than the restaurant's menu price. So you're getting upcharged every way they can. While inconvenient, picking up the order yourself is better all the way around. Previous Message because: -when i see delivery fee, plus service fee, plus taxes and other fees, plus tip, my cheapness kicks in. -drivers take their sweet ass time unless you pay another fee to expedite and sometimes the food arrives lukewarm. -we've had drivers pick up an entire order and "forget" to deliver some of it. -those companies fuck over smaller local places.
