We don't have this in germany afaik, so I have to ask. Does it really cost like 10 dollars + just to get food delivered through these services? Do restaurants not offer normal delivery anymore in the US? I saw some tweet about people paying like 40 bucks for a meal with this and it boggled my mind.

It’s closer to 5 usually, but some restaurants increase their prices on Uber eats to offset the 30% cut. A lot of restaurants still offer normal delivery, especially pizza and Chinese places. I know Germans don’t really spend money on eating out but 40 after tax and tip is pricey but not unheard of for a dinner at a restaurant here.

When Uber eats first launched I remember they were going for more of a luxury thing, they didn’t even have any fast food on there, at least where I live.

Edit: I guess it also depends on if you’re ordering from somewhere where you would normally tip or not. If your Uber eatsing McDonald’s then the difference between pickup and delivery is easily 10 dollars I imagine.
