If you remember last January, I tried ordering from Uber Eats, only to have the driver drop it off at the wrong apartment, and then blow me off when I tried to call. I was able to get the cost of the food refunded, but I had to eat the loss on the tip. That was enough. I deleted the app from my phone, and that was the last time I ordered delivery through Uber.
Fast forward to this past week, when I decided I wanted a Whopper again. Redownloaded the app, and started to order from Burger King. And then I looked at the total. And promptly noped my way out of the app, and deleted it again. Monday night, I tried it again through Grubhub, and still 2 Whoppers and 2 Chicken Sandwiches were going to be over $50 before the tip (yes, I’ll tip on delivery orders out of respect for the gig economy and those who have to work it).
So I ended up ordering pizza again. Props to Dominos. And it was in fact cheaper than Burger King, too.
Yes, I’ll need a Whopper fix eventually. But not right now….
