Thanks for confirming something I thought true. I've always been a generous tipper not because I like tipping culture, but because in the absence of an alternative it seems awful to punish the people working hard to scrape together a living by catering to my laziness.

However, I've noticed that I almost always get food that's ordered through these services very quickly – although my small sample size is anecdotal at best. But like you, I don't order through the apps if I can help it.
