With UberEATS, hidden fees and markup have gotten so big that most orders are > 2x the cost at the actual restaurant
Even without the hidden fees, it can be crazy expensive. But there doesn't seem to be a shortage of people who don't care about the fees.
I ran into an Uber Eats guy in the elevator a couple of weeks ago. He was delivering a single cup of McDonald's coffee. I can't imagine what that might have cost.
Ona side note, I've also recently seen Uber Eats being delivered on Segways in my neighborhood. They have Uber Eats-branded panniers and the delivery guys have Uber Eats-branded insulated backpacks.
