Yes I go to restaurants, and I pay a hefty extra for the service compared to the same products bought in a supermarket. Instead, when I buy online, I almost always get (and search for) free delivery.

Me too, but that's mainly because the more expensive options are worse, in my experience. For example, "free" delivery by mail into my actual mailbox vs. "premium" delivery with a parcel service forcing me to be at home an entire day on which they might come by. I would pay extra for a premium service if it were actually better.

(Agreed with your LOL at the downvoters.)

No, you don't. You only pay the servers, what about the kitchen staff?
