I'm happy that you are physically able, that you have places within walking distance to pick the food up from, or if not that you own a vehicle and are not vision impaired or afflicted with some other ailment that would make driving impossible

The implication being that thankfully for UberEats people who aren't physically able, don't have places within walking distance, don't own a vehicle, or are vision impaired or afflicted with some other ailment that makes driving impossible, they can get their food delivered.

UberEats is a cancer and honestly, everyone I've known who's disabled or on a fixed income in some way couldn't afford the insane markup.

That's not at all what I implied or meant but thank you for assuming I'm the worst person ever for pushing back against someone being proud they can just get off their ass and pick up food.

Yes, Uber Eats is a cancer but I've known people to count down to the cents so their account won't be overdrawn so that they can order one hot meal delivered. Yes I absolutely think it is in the monetization plans of all the delivery apps to take advantage of people in that situation, I was just trying to point out "get off your ass and pick it up" isn't a viable option for everyone. Also, not everyone is the best at math or managing their money.
