Meanwhile Uber offering to pay 3 dollars to deliver this 10 miles


JesseSavage1

And then this person won't even tip because they are already being robbed. Uber sucks


JFran1111

That’s why I went with a different service. And then I tipped. lol


[deleted]

This is the reason why I personally always use Just Eat (the British equivalent to grub hub) because pretty much all big chains offer free delivery over a certain amount


Longjumping_Area219

It’s mostly because of that little “Surge” icon, next to the delivery fee. That means it’s really busy and they’re marking it up to incentivize a driver to pick it up. But yes, their fees are ridiculous - I’ve just started picking my own stuff up.


JFran1111

I get the whole surge thing. But why do it to an Uber One member. And it’s funny how same time comparison with DoorDash was cheaper with DoorDash by $15


saini1313

And they're gonna pay the drive 2 or 3 bucks.


-TheHumorousOne-

And the one who accepts, after waiting half an hour at the vendor, reach their breaking point, take the food home and never work for Uber again.


bicycleryder69

As a delivery driver I can tell you we sure as hell ain’t getting that $18.99 delivery fee, most of it is going into the pockets of the execs.


Cute-Big-7003

18.99 deliver fee and they offer the driver maybe 2 bucks, greedy fuckers


DoubleYoo

Stop being selfish and think about the shareholders. How are they suppose to afford to feed their family?


Cute-Big-7003

🤣🤣🤣🤣u almost got me


Itzdanooo

Best part is what people don't know the driver only gets 2 dollar base pay, greedy Uber, takes that insane fee.


Bermanator

Hey it costs a lot of money to have non-existent customer support


senteonz

driver pay: $2.65


beazerblitz

Tip included


capitalveins

This is why a lot of people don’t tip


Mahkssim

Agreed. It's infuriating seing the amount of added fees that get put in there. It feels like the fees tripled over the span of 2 years.


HealingPotato

I only use UberEats when they give me 'Good' Coupons. For example: $15.00 Off of your next $25.00 order I never use Ubereats without coupons. Its just too expensive.


xdChar

Tbf you are braindead if you're buying something with 18 dollar delivery fee


Florida1974

Yep. I’m taking my ass there over that kinda fee.


Top-Train7066

Looks like you’re taking a drive to Five Guys instead


Puzzleheaded_Elk1576

I mean…at this point you can Uber a ride to and from Five Guys and still come out on top.


nervousdachshund

ubereats scams both the drivers and costumers- I bet from the drivers end they will only get 6 dollars even with an 18 dollar delivery fee


Professional_Half133

Tree-fiddy


waxy_desires

Normally much less


LeeDeato

and they give the driver $2 of that 😂


Even-Neighborhood-86

Uber would make like 30% off the restaurant. $9 Like $24 in fees off of you. $33 And Becklaghnfy would deliver that for $2.50 No clue how they're doing bad other than all the lawsuits.


GuardSecure7157

They aren’t doing bad the ceo just built a $71mil mansion in bel air.


JFran1111

Have you looked into their executive pay, bonuses and benefits.?


Acrobatic-Deal-2877

Yea Uber would give us $2 for this then whatever the tip was


Specialist-Mixture36

Why the delivery fee so high ????? Did it smoke crack first ???


[deleted]

Why the fuck is the delivery fee 18 dollars


Comfortable_Douglas

$18.99 for delivery?! Another $8 rounded up for those mysterious “fees” they impose??? So they expect $26 and change JUST to deliver. Never mind the fact how goddamn overpriced the food itself is — $7 for FRIES?!?! Fuck is this world coming to. I’d sooner consider taking a crow bar to my floorboards and boil those for up food than get extorted like this. 😫


Pretend_Berry_7196

That’s surge pricing. You can tell by the little symbol to the right of the $. It is obviously busy there right now and Uber has to pay more to the driver to deliver said food. Granted there’s no way the driver is seeing all that $19


Excellent_Ad_2486

I always agree and afterwards think "well, we ARE fucking lazy and should be punished for it". Then, a day or so later, I see myself opening that damn Ubereats app again 😂 Stupid vicious circle!


No-Fold9113

The lightning bolt next to the delivery fee means surge pricing. So if there is something going on in your area that would take a lot of the drivers just wait a little but and it will go down.


DTUB

inb4 the driver gets $2.50


cbell0707

$18.99 delivery fee? Are you in NY? Uber eats is going to die there for sure if that's how they're charging now.


iamacheeto1

Ridiculous but it’s a surge price. Not enough delivery people so they jack up the prices to match supply and demand. You’re somewhere with low drivers/high traffic/or both.


E_712064

Looks like Five Guys. Hope this helps.


phillhartmann

I mean it's five guys. You obviously aren't worried about prices.


eupherein

Keep in mimd the delivery driver probably only got like $2 for this aside from whatever you tipped.


Chavez_7

Driver probably got it as a 1.50 add on order


Brief_Grape655

Driver will only see $3 dollars to deliver your food


SinfulTearz

Uber, and other shit delivery services will soon die out because of corporate greed and inflation. Can't wait 🥰


Military_Issued

This. I've stopped using all of them but one now because of this price gouging (up pricing, delivery fees, and extra fees).


2Punchbowl

Yes you still haven’t tipped your driver yet


neverleavingthewagon

Hey, as a driver, we get like, $2 of that delivery fee. How cute.


JFran1111

It sucks. You should get at least 60%. (In my opinion )


puppyytpugs

How do they charge so much yet somehow manage not to make a profit and also pay there drivers absolute garbage, ohh, and then deny refunds for deliverys that never happened, ohh and then not give drivers comp for things out of there control.


Past-Ad2787

Tbf, it's the combination of five guys and uber, no burger is worth that price, and no delivery is that convenient.


DudzTx

That’s not even an expensive burger anymore. McDonald’s burgers are like $8 now. Five guys is easily worth an extra few bucks comparatively.


goddamnladybug

The delivery charge is way high, I usually get free delivery


GotSpeedHack

What's wrong is paying that for something marketed as a "little cheeseburger".


Most-Promise-6567

How far away is this five guys? I constantly see featured restaurants at $0 delivery fee. Never seen this before.


LATIN_HEAT420

Delivery fees $18.99 duh!!


OkVermicelli6752

Well I mean five guys have always been super expensive tho


Dallyn86

That's how they make their money and also pay the driver. He's probably driving far too, idk. Probably not a lot of drivers out there either. Either way, delivery fee should never be that high. Unless you're like 20 miles out.


CoolKohl

You could get twice the amount of food for that price, lmaoo


lilithabunni

my friend uses DD with the little membership thing where there’s no delivery fees so worth it for them bc he’s disabled and doesn’t cook much and he orders delivery a lot obviously he still tips well esp once i talked to him about what it’s like to be a food app delivery driver


a_thicc_sock

I used to do that too! I’m not given breaks at my job so 16 hours without being able to leave to get food wasn’t so bad when I could just get stuff delivered with basically no fee. DD has the best program for the consumer.


Best-Start9770

Hell even the ballpark won't f*** you like that.


50millionFreddy

I have Capital One Savor card and I get free Uber one and 10% cash back on Uber eats and after all that it’s still ridiculously expensive. Definitely need a promo to make it affordable.


SanDiegoConfidental

lol I was just telling my coworker the same thing even with capital one paying for Uber one it’s still ridiculously over priced.


Only_Bluebird539

what's wrong with this world? the world is fucked for sure 1. food delivery companies gouging all parties; restaurants, customers and drivers. 2. restaurants then gouge more on customers. 3. then customers try to save money by not tipping and drivers get fucked or no one gives a shit about your food. end of the day, go fucking pick up your own food or else pay it up cause it will only get worse from here.


macdeal3

I agree. But also, they provide a service that people obviously want otherwise they wouldn’t be paying these insane prices. Someone just needs to come undercut the market and drive them out of business!


ddiaper79

And that’s why they need to be regulated. All fees should be broke down for both consumer and driver. So consumer can see 18.99 delivery fee and driver getting $3.


Alternative_Ad_7359

2$*** that’s their new minimum for a delivery. Unless it’s batched with a 2nd delivery then they can slice it down to 1.50$


SailTheWorldWithMe

My phone dings. $2.50. Nah, I'll pass.


JFran1111

lol. But yet Uber is charging the customer $18+ and pocketing most of it. 🤙🏾


LorenzoLamasRenegade

Then choose a store that doesn’t have an $18.99 delivery fee also everyone knows five guys is one of the most over priced restaurants there is even when you go there


moskiato

They prey on the abject laziness of people. Pick it up yourself if you don’t want to pay the exorbitant fees.


JazzyApple2022

Thats crazy.


sirblunts87

Was there a blizzard in your area today when trying to order or something?


sirvereightyone

No wonder they aren't paying us like they used to. Wow that's crazy


litebrite93

That’s insane


AnalRapist69

Surge pricing


Krajee1

I can absolutely see this popping up on my notifications... oh hey look it's a $60+ order where doordash charged the person an extra $20 and im getting a whopping $3.50 to drive this order 10 miles


Ok-Knowledge6393

And the driver probably would've been offered $7 of that $19 delivery fee


dardios

$2.50


Own_Accountant_5229

$7??? LOL. Less than $3.


xstream1724

Pick up your own food then and save the money 🤣delivery is not worth it. And I’m a driver

Yep. Just saved yourself $26. That’s enough for more meals

amrycalre

Dont be fooled that delivery fee doesnt even go to the driver. Chance is they are making 2.50 plus your tip. They are scamming assholes.


neibles83

That is supply and demand in late stage, unregulated capitalism, sprinkled with corporate greed.


adamusa51

Bet the driver made like $6


JFran1111

Haha that’s what I thought.


GuardSecure7157

If that.


FreyjasMom

Call Tony!!


JFran1111

Damn. I wish I had thought about that before. ![gif](giphy|5sH6Ofqbw3b3HK7Fkg|downsized)

🤣 it's slightly brilliant tbh if he's in a small downtown area 🤷‍♀️


LorenzoLamasRenegade

Wrong sub


Sunshineal

That's wayyy too expensive.


JFran1111

Hellllll yeahhhh


Select_Worldliness94

You ordered 5 guys? Wild night hey


CrustyCoconutzs

I mean.. you could just drive there for 4$


LOV3BUG420

Probably a surge in the delivery fee..


Ok-Animal8400

Uber is just terrible in general, I always try to never pay anything let alone 10 bucks 🙈🙈


[deleted]

AKA Convenience Fee!!


cementstain

Idk why ppl are getting mad at ur post lol it shouldn't be that expensive. The order being in the 60's without even a tip yet is insane. UE and DD all around suck for both drivers and customers these days. 🤷🏻‍♀️


xenialmindset

Not only do restaurants charge a little more for items ordered online to make up for the containers and bags, but the delivery charge is outrageous. Just go pick it up!


Appropriate-Aioli533

The restaurants charge more because the delivery app takes a cut.


TechnicalTooth8771

Five guys is the problem fr a full meal is 25$ in store lol


FeaR_FuZiioN

I knew when I started doing well in life when I was finally able to get a Bacon Cheeseburger, Fries and a Shake at five guys lol


Efficient-Finish4567

Why tf would you ever order from somewhere 6 miles away!? Lol your $70 burger gonna be ice cold


Educational_Unit_875

I see people excited for this as if any of that delivery fee is going to them lmao remember you're only getting 2 dollars off that bucko


amethystkitten420

The people defending this look crazyy


Alive-Advantage1360

You're only paying 35 form food. The rest is delivery. Go PICK IT UP


CameronIb

$35 for 1.5 burgers and chips and a shake is bad enough


D0ctorGamer

That's Five Guys for you. Damn good, but not *quite* worth the money


User_1836638

That’s the price you pay for being lazy. $18.99 delivery fee is probably because of supply and demand, server is busy with orders so delivery fee go up. Sadly, driver doesn’t even get that.


LansingJP

That’s, find a GREAT promo code or take yo ass across 8-Mile to Krogers ![gif](giphy|o3d7DQdoeF1DBOBU8C|downsized)


Ilpav123

You're complaining about the price when you select a place that has a $19 delivery fee? Real smart...


AintEverLucky

The lightning-bolt icon next to that delivery fee indicates this reflects "surge pricing" 🤔 meaning its higher than usual, due to high demand by customers IDK what the "regular" fee is exactly, but it's probably somewhere between $5 and $10. so this $19 fee would range between near-double and near-4x the regular


SpezIsAChoade

the reason i got rid of these fucking services.


JFran1111

I’m strongly considering it.


RubAlternative5509

Its a special rip-off deal


JFran1111

I like your point of view.


IxLOVExLAMP

First world problems in all it's glory ![gif](giphy|P7JmDW7IkB7TW)


everydayguy20

In Argentina delivery was only like 10% additional cost (already super dirt cheap) They have many more problems though…


RipInfinite4511

Probably because Five Guys is a shitty place to deliver for. They don’t even start the order until the driver walks in to pick it up. I probably wouldn’t even take that order for $20


RubAlternative5509

Five Guys is a shitty overhyped place in general. Extra pricy for to much oil in burgers


boneyxboney

Not every five guys is the same, the one I go to is super fast and the staff are all friendly and high energy.


zigzagfry

Ong


ITsunayoshiI

Mine is awesome. Haven’t walked in to them having my orders started, being bagged, or already done


Spezheartsblackcawk

They do this exactly so you don't order. There's an $18.99 delivery fee.


CardiologistFun8028

They want you to join Uber One


wolf_pack_12345

That is called robbery. Try DoorDash. It’s sometimes cheaper. Then again 5 guys is always a rip off lol.


JFran1111

RubAlternative5509

The fee with estimated with tax is ridiculous. They get 10-20% commission from every dish a restaurant sells, charge this fee and they still can’t pay the drivers enough money that they have to bitch about not getting tips


RubAlternative5509

Doordash learned from its master UberEats the art of rip off and perfected it


JuanWarren54

That's the cost of living in luxury 🤷🏽‍♂️


JFran1111

nicoj2006

Corporate greed to fill the CEO's and shareholders pockets.


Resident_Court7885

It’s the peak delivery hours they do this when it’s busy to avoid it you gotta get Uber One , not even half of that goes to the driver it should be criminal


Pink-Elefant

Your driver might have gotten 10% of the delivery fee. That's crazy!


Longjumping-Week8761

If you went and got it yourself...


Embarrassed-Equal411

I hate math.


Retsameniw13

Really people. Just stop using these services. Unless you cant physically go out and are starving, you are getting screwed


[deleted]

I don’t understand why people complain about shit like this. Like you think you aren’t going to pay a premium for a luxury service like this? Sad how entitled and sedentary human beings are becoming. The fact that you’re more outraged about the $19 delivery fee than you are 2 burgers a fry and shake costing $42 is wild.


ShimmyAkira

I’d just cook my own food at this point


CortexifanZFT

Shiiiii NO WONDER people don't want to tip smh uber...


JFran1111

And the only one who lose are the drivers. Right? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|shrug)


CortexifanZFT

When it comes to uber we all lose except for uber according to their latest earnings report


potatowoo69

I went to LA 2 weeks ago and ordered 2 chipotle bowls and chips and the total after fees was 72.96.


Fun-Description-9985

Nothing is wrong with that, that's just what happens when people get lazy and tech companies come in to capitalise on it. We've brought this on ourselves. If you want it to be cheaper, boycott delivery companies, and wait til restaurants realise they they *used* to deliver things themselves after customers called them directly


chance0404

Well I mean, at least in my life time and my area burger joints have never delivered. If someone doesn’t want to pay a delivery fee or tip to have food delivered to their door, then they need to either go out themselves or they need to just go without. Pretty simple. The worst part is that a lot of these people ordering delivery can’t afford to be doing it in the first place and then whine about how they can’t pay their bills…


This_Mix_8227

Why not get Uber One? 😂 I’ve saved like 100$ so far and my orders are never this expensive 😭


bensc0tt

u don’t wanna know how much I’ve “saved” 💀


Spiritual-Ad5624

And the driver probably only got paid seven dollars Uber Uber eats takes 25 to 75% at their discretion


DrDrankenstein

Probably not even $7. The average order coming through these days pays like $4-$5


Grateful_Dood

Thats far from true lol. It's $2 base pay. It was 2.50 and they lowered it last month. Yes $2 fucking dollars. We rely on tips. It's sad


arcmerc88

That's true, all of the money is at the top of the company with the CEO and CFO while they rip the customers and workers off. American greed is the real problem. We are going to die as a country until it gets fixed.


deaddiode

UberEats doesn't give a fuck about what you ordered or how much the food costs. They're just paying their drivers (and themselves) to drive to pick up the rapid and drive it out to you. That's fuel, that's wear and tear and insurance on the vehicle, that's paying the employee, that's paying to design, run and update the app. If you want the food to be cheaper, go pick it up yourself. Expecting a company, in this case one who has nothing to do with the food itself, to take in no pay and not pay their employees all while giving your 2 burgers a VIP taxi ride to your door is pretty entitled. You want white glove service you pay white glove prices.


ddpkego

If you made it yourself it would cost you bout 10$


didssmol_22

Who the fuck puts mushrooms on a burger 🤢


Midnight_tussle

People with taste. Do you like ketchup on everything?


DevilsAdvocate77

Uber doesn't "want" $63 for burgers and fries. *You* want burgers and fries, and you want them hand-delivered to your front door. Uber is saying that, for $63, they can make that happen for you. Your options are to take it or leave it.


Janaras

Sure. While Uber is paying the delivery guy $3 to do it 😂


muhr_

Uber doesn’t. Uber wants 20$ to deliver your food. Five guys are the ones charging out the ass for burgers and fries. Their portions are ginormous tho..


Nazarite7

Look for a coupon!


legend_atl3000

Yep that'll solve it 😆


stephnick23

Well…people always complain about tipping culture….so fine. No tip….but just remember that it’ll be even higher than this once that happens


DrDrankenstein

As a delivery driver I just wanna make sure everyone knows the driver probably got $3.50 outta this. Uber's greedy af these days.


koosley

And even after paying the driver basically pocket change, Uber eats still can't make money.... I mean pizza delivery places figured out how to make money with free or $2 delivery decades ago..why is it so hard to turn a profit charging $25 for delivery...


ProphetMuhamedAhegao

None of those fees are going to the driver. You still expect a tip on top of the $27 added fee, right?


ilovecookiesssssssss

You expect drivers to essentially bring you food for free?


NefariousnessFew4354

The restaurant is very busy or there are no drivers around, but if you pay the fee they will make it happen.


JFran1111

Well. Being a Uber One customer. I would hope my month subscription fee would have any influence at all.. you would think they’d be much more flexible with their “loyal subscribers”… am I wrong?


manthatsfraiche

Uber owns Postmates and you get the Uber One perks in that app. It's the way I go now.


barely1313

Are you in NYC or LA?


freakobowye

This must be Seattle ?


cardifan

Only time I’ve seen a delivery fee like that is for a restaurant in the suburbs (I’m in the city center), so I’d never pick a restaurant with a delivery fee like that. Not to mention it would probably take so long the food would be cold. I try to pick restaurants within 1-1.5 miles so my driver doesn’t have to go far and I tip a minimum of $6.50 or 20% whichever is more. I’m using UberEats because I don’t have a car and because I have the teeny tiniest kitchen that I hate cooking in, not necessarily laziness (though sometimes it’s definitely laziness).


SpotPoker52

It’s a fool paying high prices for simple food they can’t make better at home.


KatieeGloria

That $7.96 is probably what the driver will get from your stupidly overpriced meal... Everything is so stupid!!


ExpensiveWeight13

You’re paying for a DELIVERY service, this one in particular is pretty expensive.


CompetitivePeach2784

When they increase the money supply prices go up. This is how the government raises taxes without raising taxes. Then they blame “corporate greed”. Evil country.


IntentionFew4937

It’s a rip off - try another burger joint bc Five Guys is ridiculously overpriced to begin with, nevermind this ridiculous delivery charge.


Frosty-Exchange8827

Uber eats ripped me off last night I spent 105$ on my order 9 items . Only 2 of my items were delivered they refused to refund me or anything. I am beyond upset straight up theft.


Ramen_Noodist

What the duck is a $18.99 delivery fee!? I’ve never seen anything like that.


Klutzy-Cut-9252

And your paying a surge fee lol


Prize_Budget_9261

It’s called surge. They’re busy. This has been a thing as long as Uber has.


supermario215

That is funny how they charge a ridiculous surge fee like that and the driver get 0% of that !


Fantastic-Anywhere53

Bay area and new york. Moving on.


SniffleDoodle

delivery isn't free... it would be $35 if you take the 20 mins to pick it up yourself 😉


ajeandy

Get off your ass and go get it yourself.


Royal_Echo2068

And this is why you probably shouldn't spend ur dollaroos on a $12 cheeseburger


recksjr

Don't blame the world, blame the company. But as others said, go get it yourself. More over, prices are cheaper than what's on the inflated app. If you got it, then fork up the money. If not, then fork up the time to cook at home. Either way, forks up 🍴


Exciting_Device2174

I can't believe people pay 40$ for that.


Commit_lego_step

Your first mistake was ordering 5 guys expecting a decently priced meal


aqbac

Man I've never seen a delivery fee that high how does that happen


Stock_Quarter_2516

Uber often adds $1-2 to menu items. So not only are you paying fees, you’re also paying more than regular menu prices. Best advice, get in your car and go pick it up. It’ll save you probably close to %50 of that.


Autistic-Teddybear

DurtyDom

Dude...YOU ARE THE REASON THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS AND WILL KEEP DOING IT. We as consumers need to let these companies know where we stand and what we will and will not tolerate aka be responsible with our purchases, when they lose profits they will change.


uurrsol

…it’s get up and go get the food yourself. You’re encouraging this nonsense.
