For those that continually use services like Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash, etc., how does justify using the cost?

With fees and tip added, it’s almost double the cost, the food arrives cold and wait time is longer than you picking it up yourself.

    It would be wonderful to change tipping culture but they make no money otherwise thanks to laws over here.

      Although I don’t think you meant this in a way that favors corporations, I still think the next bit is important to add:

      Businesses have lobbied against paying their workers living wages so you HAVE to keep subsidizing their employees for them

      Actually, the law states that if your wage + tips doesn’t equal standard minimum wage, your employer must make up the difference. In practice, this is just used to identify and fire underperformers. But if everyone stopped tipping, the company would be forced to pay them full wages and eventually it would just be worked back into the system. Tipping is absolutely not necessary.
