For those that continually use services like Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash, etc., how does justify using the cost?
With fees and tip added, it's almost double the cost, the food arrives cold and wait time is longer than you picking it up yourself.

Generally I find the wait times aren't really longer. The perceived time maybe, as I can ring ahead and then go pick it up, but for me it's just the usual calculus of what could I alternatively spend the time doing and is it worth the added cost. It's the same as do I call a tradesperson or fix something myself. Replace a washer on a tap? Sure I will do that. Install a new toilet? Nah, get a plumber.
If money is tight and I've got the time then I'm going to cook myself. If both are tight then there's always ramen.
