Almost as if having someone bring it to you costs more than eating it 20 feet away from their kitchen.

We just gotta accept that some mysteries will stay mysteries. Who knows why that is.

don't get delivery, simple as that

Ordering from Doordash is already more expensive than just ordering from the restaurant directly.

I have a conscious, so it is my problem :/. Some people actually feel like assholes when they're assholes. Crazy stuff. I'll keep paying the couple bucks and feel good about myself. Even if the only reason I pay it is to feel good about myself, it's working. Why mess with success.

Lol. You guys will make up whatever just to be cheapskates. That's not realistic and it's irrelevant. What is realistic is that the person feels like shit and some people can live with that because they will justify whatever helps their bottomline

No one said anything about threats. Threats serve as warnings. You won't get anything like that.

If he regularly doesn't tip, he's been a victim of a hell of a lot more than that. He just doesn't know it.

"People expect money in exchange for services" is fine and all but these fees seem pretty outrageous.

Like my delivery in the UK is usually about 10-15% of the order, not 40%!

Realistically, based on that bill, you're paying a ~$9 dollar premium for having someone bring you restaurant food without leaving the house.

Seems...worth it, tbh.

But yeah, mostly gotta take advantage of the ebbs and flows of the service. When a delivery fee skyrockets because they have nobody servicing the areas, pick a different place.

Yeah, especially for...Chili's? They even have a take out counter at stores specifically for people to come in and pick up. It's about the easiest place ever to carry out from in person.

Most restaurants don't have their own delivery service in the US. These are third party courier companies that play the middle man to provide a delivery service for local restaurants.

This is not true now. 100% of the driver tip goes to the driver.

What people need to keep in mind is that the starting base pay from these services ($3 for DD, $2.50 for UE) isnt enough to cover gas and mileage on a car, let alone the drivers time. Most seasoned drivers will just decline the orders so theyll sit at the restaurant until DD/UE kick up the base pay.

Its really not a tip in the conventional sense. Its a bid to get your order picked up and delivered timely.
