I tried it this morning. Order was submitted fine and picked up by "Tyler", and he even drove to my neighborhood (per their map). Then he sat 3 streets away for 30+ minutes and never responded to messages asking if he needed any help finding my house. I had to chat with support and cancel the order 4 minutes after the "latest arrival time". I'm bummed. I hope the dude is ok though. I'm stuck at home and can't even go check on the guy.
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 😂
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 I said, UberEats is being deliberately misleading by labeling the fee a "Service Fee" - that makes it sound like it goes either to the driver or to the people at the restaurant who prepare your food. They could have called it a "fee" or an "uber fee" which would have been less confusing. They also could provide a clear explanation on their website as to where this fee goes. They do neither of these things.

The item price is usually a couple dollars extra than the actual price in my area and on top of that there's the "service fee" which also makes no sense! Those apps need to be more transparent about their pricing. I don't mind paying extra (as I do know that it's going to be more expensive to get it delivered to you rather than picking the item up yourself) but I'd like to know exactly what I'm paying for and to whom!
Plus, Uber service is crap now. They used to chat with you in app so you could ask for a coupon refund in credits but that does not work now. Coupon lost and time wasted waiting for a drink.
