Reply to comment by ww_crimson in Alameda passes delivery fee cap even as Uber threatens exit by Xanthn

Then you picked a pricey joint, Not to mention you are exaggerating the fees.

There's is no way anyone is paying 30 dollars in fees on an $80 meal.

I just picked a random Thai restaurant in Seattle and added 3 entrees (Pad See Ew)

Spring House Thai Kitchen & Pho

Total came to $58 before tip. Fees was $2 for delivery and 7 dollars for service fees.

I actually have Uber Pass, they waive the delivery fee and give you 5% back.

If your order is late, they give you $5 in credit too.

If you order 3+ times a month its already worth it for the pass amount.

EDIT: Lmao downvotes for providing evidence that you can repeat yourself to see his claim is bogus.

Do you seriously not understand that your experience is not universal?

Mine is actually way better. I only picked Thai food in Seattle because the comment I replied to picked it.

I've used the service in multiple countries on top of using it all over the US.

$30 in fees is not something the average person is paying for delivery.

For example in Australia with door dash. A family bundle $24.95 maccas meal costs $29.95 on door dash, say 3x these base price $74.85, approx $80 like the example given. Already the cost is $15 extra. Then it's $8.95 delivery. And then there's the random service fee which isn't a set amount and you won't know the price until the time you go to order. I've had it around 10% before, sometimes higher sometimes 0. So yes it easily and often works out even here at around $30 off additional prices to pay on a $80 order.
