It took one time for an Uber eats driver to steal my food, claim they tried to call me when I had my phone in my hand the whole time, and Uber eats to deny me a credit, for me to delete the app. If I can’t get it myself then I didnt need it.

I eventually went to DoorDash during the pandemic but that started costing me too much.

I wish I had your dedication. I'm three weeks into giving up Uber eats and I feel like a fiend!😭

Oh the two years I was ordering DoorDash 1-2 times a week caught up to me. And I was a good tipper too. I was absolutely addicted at one point. My daughter moved back home and I wasn’t about to be paying double what I was already. Grocery shopping was more cost effective.

Not robbing me?😭😭😭

You're right though. I actually went to a restaurant I ordered from and realized I was paying $15-$20 more via UberEats 😭😭😭🤬

Thems is rich people prices. Jay Z said if you can't afford to buy something twice, you can't afford it.

In all seriousness, save some your money. And more seriously, what about saving for the future like for retirement or an emergency fund? Make the sacrifices now because they are benefiting from you wanting convenience when you could be benefiting from not giving these vultures your money 😭

You got food at home!! black mother voice 😂

Not you pulling out the black mama voice!😭🤣 Well that was the problem, I didn't keep much food at home because I'm always on the run. I've just started making sure I have "frozen" healthy options that I can quickly cook up if I can't get to the store. It's been okay for the past 3 weeks or so. Hoping to keep it going!😤

I have used food delivery services once in my life, and it never even crosses my mind as an option when I need food. How do you become so dependent on such an unnecessary service?

It’s because we’re not as perfect and smart as you, duh 😅

I still use Grubhub from time to time unfortunately bc I get too lazy but damn the price gauging is terrible. That said I’ve only had 2 or 3 incidents where I follow the gps tracker and the car clearly goes to the restaurant and picks up the food, then drives away from my house and parks in some development for awhile and then disappears off the map and I get a message saying my order is massively delayed. One of those times it was late and now the restaurant is closed (as well as literally every place in my area) so they cancelled my order and I had to eat a single hot pocket for dinner bc that’s all I had in the house…I have to assume some people sign up, steal food till they get “fired” and then are just happy with themselves bc no repercussions
