We don't have to use that service. Who's with me?
I've never used the third party delivery apps because it was clear their business model was going to screw over the drivers from the beginning.
I use it, I just tip way more than anyone else in my area tips. Mostly out of guilt, partially out of solidarity for the working person. I like to think my order at bumps that avg hourly rate up at bit.
Well, I'm definitely not using any delivery service - we live ~25 mins drive from the nearest town, so it's just not an option.
I've lived most of my life in the countryside and just think that getting someone else to go get my food is a weird concept anyway... I'd go as far as saying that I'm no-one special, so why ask someone else to get my food - just get it myself (lazy, etc.)
Plus, I like driving, so I'm happy to get out of the house for a while (and drive like a delivery driver to get the food home whilst it's still hot)
