You should always tip your delivery drivers..... Don't be trash.
Agreed but the whole tipping culture in America is also trash. I think UBER or a restaurant should be paying their delivery drivers enough so they don't have to rely on tips even if everything becomes 20% more expensive for me. That is a discussion for a different time and place though.
Be aware - restaurant menu prices through UberEats are higher than if you ordered directly, by about $1 per item.
On top of that, UberEats charges a 15% "service fee" but that goes straight to the corporate office. It is NOT a tip for either the driver NOR the food preparers. They also add on a delivery fee sometimes - ranges from 50 cents to 1.49.
I used UberEats once because I had received a gift certificate for it. The delivery person was fine, and I included a small tip with the order, but gave her more when she delivered, to be sure she got a decent tip.
I will never use UberEats again because of all the 'fees'. I also don't really like someone else handling my food outside the restaurant staff..

UberEats/GrubHub/DashPass/etc. exist to make money, just like any other for-profit business. Those service fees are that. It costs a lot to run a service that coordinates such intricate and time-sensitive delivery operations, and that's before you get into expected losses/chargebacks for screwups from either the drivers or the restaurants. For reference, before COVID, Uber was hoping to have its first profitable quarter[forbes.com] ever this year (forecast since adjusted to sometime next year).
Whether they charge you a direct service fee, the restaurant passes along the cost they pay as increased item prices, or both, this is the cost of having one service that can deliver food from dozens of places to you. The economics are entirely different than a restaurant having dedicated delivery drivers (like pizza chains or local places that have a limited delivery area).
There are entirely valid reasons to not use any of these service (I personally don't use UberEats for service-related reasons), but them charging money for providing a service should be expected.
Seems like a good coupon, but their sandwiches seem way overpriced for what you get. With coupon, two egg sandwiches and a ham & swiss come to about $14 to the door after reasonable tip. I guess that's good for Starbucks prices, though. Anyone else find a good value through this?

It's misleading to call it a "service fee" - many people think it goes to the driver, or the people who prepare the food.
Why not call it an "Uber fee". (An ironic, but accurate, title.)
I primarily object to the company being misleading. They don't clearly explain anywhere on their website who gets this money - but former Uber drivers have made it clear on other websites that it doesn't go to them, and restaurants have made it clear that they don't get it. If people think the fee goes to the driver, then they're not going to tip the driver as much - so the driver's are harmed by this misleading title.
UberEats also doesn't make explicit ANYWHERE that they've increased the prices of food items over what the restaurant itself charges.
I will choose not to use Uber. I don't support companies that mislead people.
