What they’re saying

“Tax season and I have a very complicated relationship. Being forced to revisit all my financial decisions from the past year has definitely led to some spiraling and maybe a little secret bill-shredding. But unlike my past mistakes, delivery fees and service fees on bigger Grubhub orders are already a thing of the past, which feels like real growth. And now they're giving people the opportunity to get back some of the fees from last year's orders? I was like...finally. Something I can get behind. Let's bring a little joy to this otherwise painful moment.”
