I appreciate that for many people it is a god send as they may have difficulty leaving the house or whatever, and it's great that the service exists for them, but on principle I would never use Uber eats to deliver me a pack of crisps or whatever other frivolous shit I see packed up on the counters of my local Sainsbury's.

Am I just hugely out of touch here? Roast me if I'm wrong.

I don't even know how those apps got popular. They practically double the price of your order and there's no guarantee it will be hot or complete. I'm disabled and I'll still make my way going to whatever place versus going through an app. The only reason I can think of is time saving (like getting it delivered to you at work so you don't waste your break).

I used them during covid, not specifically to avoid the virus (because I know it just passes the risk along), but because I was in the beginning of my transition in an unfriendly state so did not want to undo all of my work to boymode and at the time I was more financially stable so I could afford it. Always tipped well too.

For the average situation it doesn't make alot of sense.
