I was just about to mention this.

I'm grateful for the code! Thank you.

Quote from Livesai : nah dont believe in tips. Im japanese and in japan its rude to tip. I dont understand why in america people tip companies should be obligated to pay their workers more or even enough for driving. Im pretty sure uber makes alot of money even starbucks. Also why doesnt the person making the drink get a tip only the person bringing the drink.... I work as a healthcare worker i dont get tips for saving people lives.

Personally I think it has to do with giving misleading low meal prices so people would spend more than they would have (if the actual costs are known in advance). I miss that in Japan and also Europe they tell you up front you will pay $10 on a meal plus 10% service fees, even taxes have to be disclosed. It's very unlike in the USA that you have to pay $10 plus $2 in tips plus another 8% in taxes. In some cases on top of that some "other fees" thrown into the mix. Literally a $10 meal on the menu really costs $13...where as in Japan and Europe $10+10% = $11 and they tell you upfront.

This worked for me. Nearly free sandwich from the Starbucks Reserve delivered for lunch! Thanks OP!

Does Starbucks serve breakfast all day? I want to order a breakfast sandwich and it shows available but not sure if I can't order it past 10am or some time.

Not worth if you are not addicted to Starbucks. This is essentially BOGO considering the fees etc

Quote from View92612 : It's perfectly okay they want to make money but pricing transparency needs to be in place. The menu prices are inflated because they charge the restaurants large fees(usually 15%-30%) on top of charging consumers a service fee. Nowhere in the app says the prices could be different from menu prices if you order directly. If you care to do the math it's often like you would be paying $11-$12 in fees for $30 worth of food, plus taxes. Those prices also apply to pick-up orders which is really crazy high. It's unbelievable that they still lose money every quarter despite charging such a high % of fees. Something is very wrong with the business model.

Quote from lazzlazz : 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.

A very important note: none of these delivery companies have any idea if the prices on their app menus are any different than what is on the menu in the restaurant. I have friends who work in (and even run) restaurants that use these services, and the restaurants have 100% control over what prices are; it's up to them if they want to increase them to offset the fees. In my experience, most do. Frankly, if you're going to get angry at anyone for not telling you the prices are different, it should probably be the restaurant.

As someone who does pickup almost exclusively when I use these apps, the difference is usually $0.50-1.00 for <$15 items, with some outliers both ways. At least with Caviar/DashPass, separate service fees aren't charged for pickup orders. As a consumer, the experience of ordering via app is significantly better than via phone (especially not having to do point of sale contact during COVID), so I'm fine paying the small premium, but get why others wouldn't be.

I'm a little confused why people would think a service/delivery fee would go to the driver or restaurant. The closest traditional analogy to these companies would probably be the market for concert/event tickets. Ticketmaster (and similar companies) act as intermediaries between venues and consumers. Venues pay them a base fee and charge customers a service fee on top of the base price of every ticket so they don't have to maintain all the infrastructure to track/sell tickets, just as UberEats/Caviar/DashPass provide a turn-key delivery service with a similar fee structure. I think it's pretty common knowledge among people I know that their concert ticket's service fee is going to Ticketmaster, not the venue/artist, so I'd expect the same for food delivery services, especially since the fee is only applied to orders placed through those apps.

It probably sounds like I'm a shill, but I'm just an amateur economists who occasionally gets confused why and at whom people get angry when the terms of a given situation seem pretty clear to me.

As a Starbucks barista, I've been wondering why the last couple of days I've seen so many delivery orders come through. what's more, they've all been one or two drink orders, which are not very common. However, this explains it.

We don't really serve it. They are packaged food items and as long as we have them left during the day, at any point, you can order them.

I actually end up saving more. Simply don't order and enjoy a nice cup from home

If I schedule the delivery, then delivery fee goes away and only service fee remains. Not sure it was just for me.

You deserve slickdeals I suppose. If you live in America and don't believe in tips, then go back to Japan. Differrent countries have different cultures and tipping is a huge part of American culture You either accept it, or don't use services where tipping is the norm, less you be considered a cheapskate and potentially ruining the employees' day. Individuals like myself who rely on tips wouldn't take said jobs if tips didn't exist.

Also, how can you be Japanese and still use this logic? Japanese people are supposed to he smart and have honor and a shred of decency.

Also, comparing receiving tips in a tipping industry vs receiving tips for saving peoples lives...I doubt you're even in healthcare as your personality and logic are clearly not selfless.

If I ever deliver your Uber Eats order and you don't tip me because you dont believe in it vs not being able to afford it/poor service, imma treat myself to a free meal because you conveniently won't have answered and your address was too hard to find 😂

It was nice to get everything delivered. Thx OP

thanks!
