Uber will show ads in its apps while you wait for cars and food

I hate this idea. I'm really growing weary of ordering food through Uber Eats, DoorDash, GrubHub, etc. When you compare prices via the delivery service apps, prices are always higher than on the actual restaurant app. Then there are service fees and the delivery fee. Using these services during the pandemic was great... but I've been picking up orders directly.

I’ve not used any of those services in quite some time. The fees have become ridiculous.

A couple years ago my wife ordered a Whopper with cheese, fries, and drink with Grubsouth. The delivery came to around $20. There's times when it's handy, but not often.

I don’t use Uber ( way too expensive) and would not be at all amused to watch ads while waiting for a tardy cab ! I don’t get it anyway, who would call a cab and then stay on the cab app ? I call a cab, go back to whatever I was doing and the cab calls me when it gets to me ! what’s wrong with that ?
