I hear the smallest violin Everytime I hear about UberEATS executive complain about the company not being profitable.

I know GrubHub is bad too but I typically only pay a small fee of 3$ for their service and a tip of 20% to the driver.

Yet UberEATS usually includes a $10-15 UberEATS fee which the employee sees none of. Yet "oh no UberEATS is not profitable, oh no my 3rd yacht isn't big enough"
