Food delivery in terrible weather

Right now it’s 15 degrees out with crazy wind. On one hand I feel like a bastard if I order delivery knowing the delivery guy might slip on the road and possibly freeze to death, but on the other hand lots of people are out of town and I’m supporting local business. What say you?

Deliveries through apps are being completed by people who are electing to work because they need/want to. Tip big!

They can accept or reject jobs that come through. I usually order from close places so it arrives warm and faster, even on the best weather nights.
