Hampton), the folks at POSTMATES have decided to launch in our own quaint little part of the world. \u00a0 So, I hear you now, &#8220;what is POSTMATES?&#8221; \u00a0 Well it&#8217;s the only app you need to download this weekend for survival in the Hamptons. \u00a0 With this app you can get delivery service in under an hour, anywhere from Southampton to Montauk! \u00a0 PSYCH! That means, you can order from La Fondita (Tacos), The East Hampton Grill (French Dip), \u00a0Sam&#8217;s (Chicken Parm) and even Levain Bakery (Oatmeal Cookies) and get it delivered right to your front door. \u00a0But wait it gets better&#8230; seconds after you place the order you&#8217;ll get real time tracking information for your order. \u00a0 \u00a0Its also available for Android and online at <a href=\"http:\/\/postmates.com\/\">Postmates.com<\/a>. \u00a0Delivery fees start at 5$ and are calculated based on distance along with a 9% service fee which is applied to your order. Let&#8217;s hope these guys are the new UBER of Hamptons delivery (but not the UBER of E. Hampton)! \u00a0 \u00a0My friend Bernie ordered from <a href=\"https:\/\/postmates.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">POSTMATES<\/a> last week and had his &#8220;Sam&#8217;s&#8221; at the house in 45 minutes. \u00a0 But wait, it gets better&#8230;. the delivery guy refused to take the tip and was friendly!!! \u00a0 \u00a0I mean everyone wants a tip jar now, in fact I just saw one at the DMV last week! \u00a0 Finally something we really need in the Hamptons! \u00a0 I only have one question about <a href=\"https:\/\/postmates.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">POSTMATES<\/a> that has yet to be answered: \u00a0 Will they deliver one of those hot dogs from Speedway Gas?<\/p>\n<p>This year, like last year my house is becoming a virtual revolving door of guests and relatives. \u00a0 It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t love <i>ALL<\/i> my friends and relatives. \u00a0\u00a0<i>BUT <\/i>every once in a while I hear some of my <i>friends<\/i> need down time. \u00a0 \u00a0So what can <i>they<\/i> do?? \u00a0 How can\u00a0<i>they<\/i> get <i>their <\/i>guests to leave without being insulting? \u00a0 \u00a0Well here are a few easy tricks that will have them running to the Jersey Shore&#8230; and perhaps even get you a thank you host\/hostess gift in the process! \u00a0So here it is&#8230;.
