    My ex did, and was of limited funds. I think the answer is depression, apathy, and a good dose of financial illiteracy.

      Definitely financial illiteracy.

      I can afford it but refuse to use those services. They inflate the menu prices, add fees. I’m ok with tipping but not the rest of that.

      Also, it’s ridiculously inefficient compared to picking it up yourself. It’s not just someone else is doing the drive for you. The delivery does work for the store so there is extra driving occurring, deadheading in trucker parlance.

        Going to the restaurant and back is the same distance for you as it is for the driver going from the restaurant and back.

        Are you saying it is inefficient because the delivery driver has to drive from the restaurant to your house with food and then back to the restaurant without food? Because delivery drivers usually take more than one order or at a time.
