Honestly I do not get the Uber Eats hype. If I'm sober enough to drive I can get the same food, fresh and on a plate for cheaper. If I'm drunk I'm happy with

  If on-demand delivery scaled to the maturity of package delivery (like UPS/Fedex) I can imagine Dominos one day replacing their delivery operations with the future version of Uber Eats.

  Yeah, I agree that it doesn’t make sense in the suburbs. It really depends on where you live. In the center of a large city, you can order something in a minute, pay a couple dollars extra, and have the food at your door in 10-15 minutes. Deliveries are done by bike or scooter and there are hundreds of places to choose from that’ll deliver within half an hour. It’s great when you’re in the flow and don’t want to deal with the distractions that walking out the door inevitably entails.

  And it pollutes the environment with plastic trash and exhaust and CO2

    I get the extra trash from packaging required for delivery but how is it using extra CO2? The driver would be doing the same distance or less than you because they would be doing multiple pickups and dropoffs in a row so they're only contributing a one-way (more like 1.5) whereas you would have to do the roundtrip.

      Delivery packaging is the same as you'd get if you went there in your car. The appropriate comparison is with cooking at home. Takeaway food is a luxury.

  I used it at work for lunches.
