The other day, I ordered a delivery from a well-known bread and sandwich place

Right at the estimated time of delivery, I got a text from the driver saying he couldn't find my place. I asked him where he was. Let's say my address is 1225. He said "1223 & 1227." He couldn't figure out that 1225 would be between 1223 and 1227? So I went out to chase him down. The funniest part was he was parked right outside my door! His car was right in front of the place he couldn't find! I had to laugh.

The food was good but I think I'll skip delivery from now on. They raised the price of the food and tacked on a delivery charge, a so-called convenience charge and then I added a tip on top of it. I probably paid half as much more than I would've if I had just gotten my lazy behind up and gone to get it myself.

Omaha restaurant owner drops third-party delivery apps after $188K in fees[/b

A local restaurant owner said he spent six figures in fees last year having his menu available on delivery apps, leading him to drop third-party services this week.

Javier Trujillo, owner of Javi’s Tacos, said he paid $188,000 in commission fees to delivery apps like DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats across his five restaurants last year.

“Any service that we use that does delivery and then pushes our menu to their customers, we have paid $188,000 last year,” Trujillo said.

The fees applied across his five restaurants: Javi’s Tacos, Time to Rise and Shine, Frosty Mug, Helados Locos and El Milagro.
