    It gets more cost effective the more food you order, 1 meal @ 15$ + 15$ in fees and tips is outrageous, 50% of your total is just fees and tips. But 4 or 5 meals at 50-60$ + 15$ in fees and tips is much more reasonable. The DD fees don’t scale to the order size you make (surprisingly lmao).

      Fifteen dollars in tips and fees?! wtf?

      Is the food delivered with a Porsche and the delivery person personally feeds you or what?!

      Over here delivery is like 2-3€, and you tip if the service was above average and well then it’s usually by filling up to something convenient (this is based on until recently still mostly using actual cash, so tipping to save the delivery person the time fiddling with change, “just keep the change”).

        The fee is about 8-10 depending on the restaurant and your area. I usually do a tip of about 5-7 so that I can get better service from the driver. Really, the tip should be thought of more of a “silent bid” for services or a bribe if you want to have fun with it lol
