Check your area to see if there's a similar situation near you!
At the restaurant I used this month, I discovered I paid ~$3.50 extra on a ~$30 order compared to just ordering directly at the restaurant. I believe others don't have markups, but it varies. If I had known I was going to be paying that markup, I would have just saved it to use on a ride.
