pickup estimate for a ride is very different than delivery time with eats.

    I'm sure it's different if you're living in like NYC or Chicago, but I could pretty much get an order from anywhere I'd want to order in my city in less time than it would take to use a delivery service. Just simply more convenient and cheaper for me to go get it myself.

    Definitely cheaper and yea, most likely faster.

    I'm just arguing against the false notion of your food sitting for much, if any, longer than it would if you got it yourself. That's just not the way it works.



    And we define convenient differently. Nothing more convenient in my book than just having to walk to my front door for food.

    As I said, I can only speak to the likes of GrubHub and EatStreet, but they definitely don't just have your order in their vehicle. At least not from my experiences.

    And, to me, nothing is more convenient than getting food when you want it.

    Yes, some other services that operate differently than the one the thread is about may produce different results. :/


    It's like we're talking about how great fiber optic internet is and you're telling us how much dial up sucks.

    Yeah it's two different ways of looking at it. Do you want to save a little money and have your food sooner, but you gotta leave the house? Or do you want to spend a little more money, wait a little longer, but you can stay in front of the tv?

    In my case I'm usually of the former mindset, but like recently I didn't want to have to stop the project I was doing in our bathroom, and didn't mind if the food didn't arrive for 40 minutes. That was more convenient in that case.

    I mean, I feel like the discussion expanded, but ok.

    And I never got the impression with UberEats that my driver was picking up and delivering multiple things at a time. I live in the 'burbs so these things are somewhat spaced out, and it would take a shit ton longer if the driver was going to even just one separate restaurant and one separate house before mine.

    In this day and age I imagine it's a mixture of Web Based Tutorials and video.
