    I know some people rely on it

    I’m not 100% sure whether you meant drivers or people who can’t cook for whatever reason, but this is where I’m at when it comes to drivers. For sure you should tip more when the weather is bad, but as far as I’m aware none of these apps actually employ drivers in the traditional sense. No one gets fired if you place an order and no one wants to drive. If you’re able to get a delivery, it’s because that driver picked your order when you put it in.

    No reason to feel guilty (again, unless you’re not tipping) because that person was gonna be out there either way. If you don’t order they’re just not getting paid for it.

    I guess it’s different if you’re calling in an order to your local pizza place or whatever, but even then the driver knew what they were in for when they came into work.
