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.

That doesn’t work here in the U.S., as tipping is built into the business model of gig delivery services like DoorDash. The base payment to the delivery driver doesn’t even cover their costs, and it’s the tip that provides the incentive to make a delivery through the app. With no tip, it’s likely that nobody will pick up your order and deliver it.
Then people should stop working for these companies until the business model changes.
A bad business model shouldn’t be supported by customer charity to employees
Agreed, but all that I can do is refuse to participate. I can’t change the fact that the U.S. is a late-stage capitalist hellscape that makes this kind of exploitation palatable to many people.
If every employee in the US who got treated like shit by their employer quit then there would be chaos
That’s why you do it. That right there is the point.
And that is in fact the point of not tipping.
