How do you justify continually using take out delivery services? (lemmy.zip)

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.

Living in Germany, so tips aren't an issue here and fees as re usually miniscule, so my justification is that I'm a lazy motherfucker with an income that is high enough to allow this kind of stupid spending (not high enough to compensate for the cost though, but that's not what we're talking about right now:P)

Denmark checking in. No tips, delivery is mostly fair priced, I’m actually waiting for food at the moment, delivery was free.

So absolutely justified … I’m more concerned about the choices I make on food.
