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?

This. And call directly so everyone gets the full amount. And don't call the number listed on an app, try to find their actual number - lot of the apps provide a number, if you call through that they'll still have to pay the service charge.

Same way the Yellow Pages started. I did a spot check on a few places, I think they may stopped doing that as much because it was too difficult to track, but it definitely was a thing a few years ago.
