How is Uber still in business?
Uber is the legal definition of bait and switch. So many advertisements for deals and messing with the numbers to make orders look reasonable and then falsifying what you’re actually saving and tacking on opaque fees… I don’t even pay for the premium membership but get it free from another source and it’s still not even close to worth it compared to just looking at store coupons and ordering delivery… How is this company in business when they get your orders wrong and miss items 90%+ of the time?

Technically if you don't get it delivered and get pick up only and you use the buy one get one free
For example Popeyes (most common deal) buy one get one free plus a free item after spending 25 bucks....
You get ... 2x chicken sandwiches regular and spicy so you get 4 in total 7.99 for each.... 2x 3 piece of chicken combo making the total of 6 pieces 2 fries and 2 sodas...
Let's do a quick math ..
chicken sandwich regular spicy 7.99 x 2 = 15.98
3 piece combo 16.99 .... 15.98 + 16.99 = 32.97
Plus taxes which LA city I believe is 9.5..... 9.5 * 32.97 = 3.13 add that to 32.97 you get 36.10
The total is 36.10 ..... And you get 4 sandwiches 2 regular and 2 spicy .... Plus 2 combos so 6 pieces 2 fries and 2 sodas.... Plus sometimes they add the buy more than 25 bucks and get a free item so wtv item you get
Anyways for 36 bucks and you get a whole ass meal .... Pretty deal!!!! Sure maybe the app or somewhere might be cheaper but considering all the stuff you get for 36 bucks
Not bad at all ..... Thoe like I said PICK UP!!!! NOT DELIVERED...... Uber eats is only worth it for the pick ups if you know how to work around the buy one get one free promos
