Not on your life buddy, I want it delivered and a full refund.

The driver actually did die.

Did I stutter? I said NOT on your life.

    I'm genuinely curious to find out that were your dasher hospitalized, and you clicked that link and went through whatever rigamarole required, they would receive the flowers.

    And would they send another dasher to deliver the flowers?

    What about if that dasher gets injured and hospitalized? It's just dashers, flowers, and hospitals all the way down.

    Is this real or photoshopped? I don't use DD, or most social media so I have no clue if this is real or I've been had.

    I don’t think this is real… or at least I sincerely hope it isn’t.

    It cant be real not only because doordash wouldn't give enough of a shit about drivers having accidents, but because doordash would specifically NOT want to track accident information. Even knowing this happened would open them up to various liability.

    The business model of these companies (Uber, Uber Eats, Doordash , etc) depends on drivers being independent contractors and not staff. They don't want to know more about them than they absolutely have to.

    Makes sense! Mostly…

    I disagree this shows any care for drivers, in fact the opposite.

    1: prioritizes the customer getting the food.

    2: they would certainly profit off the flowers. Probably another DD delivery too.

    Jfc yeah name a road after your state.

    Although there's an Uruguay Avenue in Montevideo so 🤷

    I like the Moscow/Saint Petersburg system, wherein they both have avenues/highways named after the other city, leading to said city.

    Most of New England is named that way too. The problem is that the same road ends up with 2 names depending on which direction or end you are in.

    Got luck getting an ambulance dispatched to the right place (in my unfortunate experience).

    I mean people usually suck at naming roads. Water St is often where the water tower is, Railroad St runs parallel to the railroad, Fish Hatchery Road is where the fish hatchery is, and then there's the tons of roads named after specific families who lived on the land they run through. Granted it's way less dark than the countless cities that are named after the people/natural features that were killed when founding the cities. So many places are named after who and what was once there...

    No lats stage would have you, the person whom ordered the food, responsible for the gig workers hospital stay - as you are their employer.

    it would probably be more along the lines of you having to pay potentially lost profits directly to the company, while the driver has to pay his own bills... and the driver has to pay for potentially lost profits too

    Double oopsie! Your driver delivering flowers to your other driver was in an accident! Would you like to deliver flowers to the driver who was delivering flowers?

    "Your dasher crashed, but based on his tracking, he's still crawling towards you. This could induce some delay. If you go meet him on the way, you can get a rebate on your tipping fees!"

    It's a trap. Like in the famous documentary, 'The Santa Clause', if you examine the crash site the drivers body will disappear and YOU will become the Door Dasher, and be required to fulfill all of their commitments.

    If you can't be bothered to step out of your comfort zone and travel .3 AU to pick up your food, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you want the crippled driver to spoon feed it to you.

    Needs instructions for in person pickup.

    "Your dasher wears a medical bracelet identifying his next of kin. To expedite access to the crime scene to retrieve your order (1x bagel bites, 4x lubricant and 1x grain alcohol) dash++ members can unlock this name to then pose as a direct relation when authorities ask."

    Me too but unfortunately I live in America, so unless it's takeout I tip

    Even on non-takeout, I still won't tip sometimes. It's mental how some counter service places are asking for tips. I begrudgingly tip if the person actually does something service related (like bringing me my food), but if I have to do the work to get my order, I don't tip.

    I'm not going to punish the service workers for the shitty hyper-capitalist exploitation that is tipping culture

    Even in states without subminimum wages, the wage is still usually not a livable one

    Don't misunderstand me, I still tip at places where tipping makes sense, like a restaurant or something.

    But I'm not going to subsidize every business' payroll just because they found out they can enable a tip prompt on their POS. Like, I don't need to tip every store that has workers making food, especially if they all stay behind the counter.

    Maybe that makes me an asshole, but I'm not tipping every business just because they ask for one.

    I'm not going outside in this weather. Especially if I have to put pants on. They should just send a second driver to pull my Arby's out of the burning wreckage and finish the delivery without me having to tell them.

    The application let's you send flowers to your "dasher's" hospital room

    There is an artist around who spoofs the big app interfaces to make these even worse thought experiments. I'm guessing it's one of his or hers. Unfortunately I don't remember the name / handle.
