Y'all still order food and get it delivered?

And that's why it's best to avoid those apps, especially when it comes to delivery.
I always order from the free delivery section of Uber Eats. And I'm ordering way more now it's winter here and I don't wanna leave the house.
edit: NZ markup doesn't sound as crazy as the US. The items seem more or less what you'd pay dining in.

I don't know, I'm starting to question the value of Eats Pass. I've been a member for months, but last night I compared some restaurants on Uber vs DoorDash (where I don't currently have a pass). Even with the Eats Pass, Uber was still more expensive by a dollar or more.
But tbh, the DoorDash app is bit shit, so I still lean towards ordering through Uber instead. I mainly only use DoorDash for restaurants that aren't on Uber.
Nah I just call ahead or online for pickup.
Like we had Indian food the other night from a local place. You can order on your website and I just drove to pick it up to bring home.
Not that I won't ever do it. But it's rare cause as the OP says it's an expensive add on. I'm also not gonna order and just not tip cause it's expensive. If I'm gonna do it I'll tip like 20-25 percent. So yeah it's only in situations where we didn't have time to cook or go out to grab something.

I just ordered a pizza right now for delivery to my hotel. :) I'm lazy and don't mind paying extra for delivery. Either way you are paying either with money or gas.
It's DoorDash doing the sneaky upcharge. My gas station does Door Dash and they add at least 10% to our prices.
I'm willing to pay a premium to not have to interact with other human beings, so I still order delivery 3-4 times a month.
The weird thing is I comparatively refuse to pay shipping for non-food items and will generally only buy stuff if I'm buying enough to get free shipping. Meanwhile paying $10+ in fees and tips for fast food doesn't bother me.

I usually pick it up to save a few bucks, unless there's some delivery deal going on or I'm drunk/high
Food quality hits the shitter when delivered. Low-paid employees don't care (don't blame them) and it sits in a car for up to an hour.
All carry out all the time. Plus I'm eating at restaurants again. DIM SUM tonight baby!

Pizza and wings are the only thing that is both good around here and stands up to delivery.
Fast food delivery is something that shocks me; that shit isn't good unless it is completely fresh, it ain't standing up to no delivery. Yet some of my friends are high enough/lazy enough to swear by it.
The best Thai and Chinese food around is just out of range, but I've got the equipment to keep it hot in my car with multiple insulated bags and devices, so I pick that up. The best Indian around is sit down only, and all the best Mexican/BBQ/Sandwiches around are food trucks, so I gotta go to them.

Nah, only do takeout and I always pick it up. We only eat out at like 5 places and they're all within a few miles of us so I just spend 15 minutes picking it up, the few times we've used door dash because we had a gift card I couldn't believe how much the fees and delivery cost.
I think the only thing we order delivery for is pizza.
I think that is about 50/50 on delivery and pickup.
When I lived in NYC in the 90s early 2000s I used to order anything and everything. The scope of what is available for order and close by in NYC is pretty amazing. I live in the burbs now and I have a car so its not hard to pick it up myself. I also prefer eating out (pre COVID) to getting it delivered at home.

Nah it's too expensive. Pretty much special occasion only. But I cannot deny the convenience.
I just go pick up if I want take out.

If I'm putting in overtime, my employer foots the bill entirely - both the food, delivery and whatever other fees they tack on. And as it turns out, I do a lot of overtime, so it's a pretty nice perk.
But outside of that, I'll periodically order delivery from a local pizza place I like - directly, not through some third-party delivery app.

It's just $10 difference, I just pay instead of waiting in line and driving to pick it up, that's how I get my groceries delivered, best invention ever
I get to save gas, wear on my car, and possible exposure to COVID while tipping more than the default amounts because I feel bad for gig delivery drivers. Seems good to me.
I'm too cheap to pay for delivery, unless I'm in a group setting and we all just split it or whatever.
Less than when stricter COVID restrictions were in place, but far more often than pre-COVID too.
Almost never now that I can just go and pick it up myself. I like going someplace for food. I don't gain anything staying at home more.
Never.
Plus my family always rely on me to get the food now. Might as well work for Uber or doordash lolz
