I do think the wireless and streaming credits, which are worth much more than this, help soften the blow.

I recommend finding a local business (no big chains). My favorite local restaurants do not have marked-up prices when ordering via Uber Eats. (I know because I also go in person to order, and the prices are the same). Also, I believe that all of the ordering apps have reduced or eliminated their "cut" from small local businesses for the duration of the COVID crisis as a way of helping those restaurants stay afloat and getting more customers on the app platform.
