Surprise picnic! So romantic 💖

I never understood how they are so popular. You are paying double the amount and it's poor service and food tastes worse

This is the correct answer. Those companies that don’t fix their shit will perish.

for real! don't like something, don't use it.

isn't that the main reason we are all here talking on the fediverse, anyway?

There is, don't order food to be delivered to your house. Going from every pizza shop, and local fast food joint, having people who would drive the food to anywhere within a few miles, with just the idea you would likely tip them if you got your food on time, to having to pay anywhere from 1/4-2x the cost of your order to have it delivered, by a third party, that is a huge faceless corporation, with poor service, is really disheartening.

My local city council gave Doordash a 5 year exclusivity contract in good delivery in our market, which led slowly to all of the local pizza places and Asian food places getting rid of their delivery drivers, so even if I want a local pizza delivered from a local pizza place, I still have to use Doordash.

Strikes me as bog standard AI support misreading the situation to an absolutely hilarious degree, because god forbid we actually be able to talk to people.

Wait, they ordered Delivery on a stolen credit card?!

Most of the time the first charges are test charges. The card numbers that aren't canceled after the test charges are often aggregated and sold.

One day you see a milk carton in the store with a picture of your food on it...

I've only used door dash like 3 times, and it was uneventful.

I used ubereats a lot, especially early covid, before the price gouging and explotation set in, and I only had like..two issues.

One was the driver, whom i was watching on the map, took a right turn when they should have gone straight, and disappeared off the map. Straight up stole my food, and the restaurant had to remake it and reorder it.. and i think the driver that delivered that order had some knowledge of the first, thieving driver, cause the second he got out of the car he was nothing but excuses for the other driver.

the other one was we got just a shit awful meal from a restaurant, completely inedible. Some parts overcooked to charcoal, other parts still fuckin raw.. Uber eats denied any refund or anything despite pictures showing the very obvious issues, because apparently I had ordered from the same place like 18 months previously and got a refund because a side order wasnt delievered.. Which uber used to low key accuse me without outright accusing me of trying to scam them and the restaurant and denying my refund.

Which not gonna lie, really pissed me off and pretty much lead to me not using ubereats outside of exceptionally rare circumstances after that issue
