Your organs will grow back, don't worry. Unlimited organs!

Are you trying to guilt me into tipping my postman?

Wtf $30 for food delivery? It's like 10% of that here or usually free if you make big enough order

Nah, it's an exaggeration. But they charge you 3 times. Once because the products are more expensive on the app. Secondly with the "service fee" which is like 3-4$ and third time with a delivery fee which is again 2-5$ depending on distance. For big orders the 2nd and 3rd things stay the same so it ends up mattering less. But the fact that every product is between .30 and 2$ more expensive... you usually end up paying between 10$ extra for a 15$ order and 30$ for a 80$ order. It's become a bit ridiculous, imo

In my neck of the (american) woods, it usually is "free delivery! No fees if your meal is $15 or more!" according to their ads, but then they artifically raise the menu prices in the app. A meal might cost you $12 with tax at a burger place near me, but on ubereats / doordash that same meal is $19 because they raised the menu price. That way when you go to pay, it says there was "no extra fee".

The obvious difference is speed. You can ask Uber for food and get it within an hour of placing that order. I go down to UPS and mail myself a package and it'll take a few days.

Well aren't you the lucky one, getting your food in under an hour.

Here in Costa Rica, a 1080p 144hz monitor in Amazon could cost $149, but adding the delivery fees and stuff it ends up on $239. Get me out of there pls

Here in the UK Deliveroo is cheaper than mail and there's no chance you'll get your mail in 15 minutes. You'll be happy to get it the next day.

Every order comes with more organs though. You just have to think of the first one as an investment.
