  This is why I don't use any of the food delivery services.  A $10 meal at the restaurant becomes $25 after price increase on food, delivery charge, and tip.  I like money too much to waste it paying double+.  I will just get off my butt and go get it myself.
context: I doubt this is unpopular. >
  
  If you’re picking up, why don’t you just call the restaurant to order? >
  
  A lot of today's generation can't or won't talk on a phone, they tend to prefer no verbal interactions like texting. >
  
  Then they should realize they have to pay the middle man for the privilege.  Uber Eats and GrubHub aren’t charities. >
  
  I absolutely agree with you. >
  
  Order from the restaurant directly instead. Uber Eats takes a cut from all restaurants using the app. It's not a surprise when food costs more on Uber Eats. >
  
  The problem is these food delivery services charge an outrageous rate for their service, and companies have to charge more for delivered food as a result. >
  
  How else do you expect them to turn a profit? If theirs delivering you your 7 dollar burger and Uber eats doesn't charge more than 7 dollars, they're not going to make any money? They also need to cover the costs of fuel, and pay both the driver and the company. >
  
  I guess you missed the PICK UP part that was highlighted for the people that don't read things properly before trying to give their uneducated opinion on the matter.
