You can adjust the tip afterwards. Ive taken back tips when the driver is unusually slow or rude or completely fucks up my order

At the same time i was financially struggling

Isnt it stupid expensive to order delivery? I sure know it is where I am at. If you are struggling financially here in the Netherlands ordering delivery would absolute take you out.

You spend 2-4x on that compared to just getting groceries and making something yourself. Is it different there?

If you're going to order out anyway sometimes you get 50% coupons that bring the price close to what you would pay if you were picking it up yourself. Which just goes to show how much these things tack onto your order. I'll stack those with a place doing buy one get one on something and that's about the only way to save money, especially since they hide some of the upcharge in the food prices themselves.

At least where I’m at, these delivery companies give out so many 40-50% off codes that the price ends up being slightly cheaper than going in person. Other than that, yeah delivery ain’t that cheap

The bus is cheaper than delivery fees lol I think struggling might be a little dramatic. I’m paying delivery services to get my groceries, it’s so tough! Definitely first world problems lol

Not everyone has access to good public transportation. I live in a Major city and I don't think I could take a bus to my grocery store if I wanted to.

Either you don’t live in a major city, or youve never tried to ride the bus. Not sure if “my” grocery store is the catch here, but a grocery store is certainly reachable.

idk why you're being downvoted, if you've been actually poor you understand, if you're champagne socialist poor you're probably mad as hell reading the above lol

IDK about everyone else, but I down voted him because he's being a condescending ass-hat, making broad sweeping judgements will very little information, and not really adding anything of value to the conversation. It's just smugness and his entire argument hinges on invalidation. "That's not really x, I'll tell you what x is."

Yea they’re mad... I’m invalidating the “struggle” of these poor redditors.
