I find it incredible that every time I see a bad food delivery story, its always from doordash.

Never ubereats, or grubhub, or any of the others.

Does Doordash do nothing but hire the people the other companies fire/blackball?

Good. This is the experience people using these garbage apps deserve, tbh.

The number of comments in this thread thinking this is a real convo that was had is troubling.

we encourage Dashers to wait a few minutes

How much do you pay them for waiting to compensate for the money they'd get delivering other items? (Your customers also have the app where they confirm delivery and tip so it's not like Dashers will slack off for 3 minutes after handing the food over)

In a small company, one could call this wishful thinking. In a large data-driven corporation, it's a calculated lie.

Guess they also encourage their customers to Kennedy Jr their food off the road, too.

The vast majority of their customers are using it for convenience, not out of need.

Paying $45 to have $20 worth of shitty McDonald's "food" delivered seems stupid to me, but some people have money to burn, I guess.

This is one of the most depressing aspects of life. All of these services we pay no longer care at all about us - we have no options. They give us AI support only, poorly functioning apps where you can't even find how to complain or make a ticket.

I don't know how it gets fixed. Soon we will all work for them.

In the middle of Covid, this happened

Which when I went to the door, I found this on the mat exactly as it looks here, except I moved it to the sink because it was making a mess.

I never found out which of my neighbours missed their order, because it wasn’t any service I’d ever use, even if ordering a completely non-essential item like this was a waste of resources.

But fuck that guy who ‘delivered’ it by obviously dropping it before in his car and then throwing it on my doorstep!!

It's funny in the first place to argue from what "they allow". The customer doesn't have to care about your internal policies, fucko. Fulfill your end of the bargain.

Food all over the road is certainly a custom delivery experience...
