I often opt to starve/eat random stuff in the house than order. Now if I actually want to order, I have no idea how to order
Comment on DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip

As a driver for one of these apps it’s more of a bid than a tip. People send me bids to deliver their food and I deliver to the highest bidder. It sucks because that’s not what a tip is supposed to be and the majority of the delivery fee doesn’t go to the driver. That’s why I don’t really order from these delivery apps myself anymore.

Thanks for confirming something I thought true. I’ve always been a generous tipper not because I like tipping culture, but because in the absence of an alternative it seems awful to punish the people working hard to scrape together a living by catering to my laziness.
However, I’ve noticed that I almost always get food that’s ordered through these services very quickly – although my small sample size is anecdotal at best. But like you, I don’t order through the apps if I can help it.
