I’ve done this - because my employer was paying. It was interesting, the food costs more than if you were buying it directly, and then you pay the driver on top of that. Our regular pickup order was something like $30 more expensive with Uber, and you had to wait a lot longer to get it. I honestly don’t understand why people use Uber Eats. It’s cheaper and faster to just go get the food yourself.
I prefer that my food is handled by the minimum amount of people before it gets to me. Also I’m not interested in supporting such an exploiting business model.
Ordered uber eats or similar. I’d rather go pick it up than pay for someone to drive it over.

This is something that should work but doesn’t. I’d punch somebody if I had to wait 40 minutes for a meal.

My theory on delivery drivers is that they might get paid shit wages but their families are eating well.
If their families are eating well, that means the customers are not.
Something doesn’t jive in that equation.
When I hear that the food has been picked up by a driver but then never delivered. The customer then gets their money back. Someone gets that meal.
I’ve found wrong deliveries on the doorstep when I leave in the morning several times. Straight to the bin. 12 hour old Maccas chips do not appeal.
