Current Events > My food from DoorDash never arrived. First time that's ever happened.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I already have a headache from being in the sun due to work, me getting hungry again even though I had lunch at work, my greedy fucking brothers once again eating up something before anyone else gets some, and now this.

So how was your day?

Federal agents probably thought the delivery guy was a protestor and

DoorDash is ass 50% of the time. Hopefully you get a full refund at least.

I'm so hungry I just went for the reorder with the $10 credit they offer. I would use something else but honestly DD is organized the best and I don't know why all the others are so damn sloppy.

I had some grubhub fuck a few months ago literally leave the food out on the street in front of my building

like, wtf???

I drive for GrubHub and UberEats. Like I would never order them myself. I sort of feel bad for the people I deliver to. It costs too much and the food is much less fresh than picking it up yourself.

This is standard now. No contact delivery.

I second picking it up for accuracy and freshness but sometimes you just want to not have to deal with the world lol.

true.

i do recommend checking grubhub perks b/c i've had a few %50/25 off deals from local shops that covers all the extra costs you incur

I'm currently in a fucked up channel at work and it is physically and mentally exhausting. No way am I getting redressed just to get food.

Well I can somewhat understand that, but it still costs a good deal more than picking it up yourself.

Granted, I'm around five minutes from a lot of dining establishments so delivery makes less sense for me.

The only time I ever used Door Dash is when Little Caesars had a brief promo at the start of the Covid-19 lockdown for free delivery. I ate a lot of Little Caesars that week, then the promo ended and I haven't used Door Dash since.

Because good lord...Little Caesars rocks, but part of it is because it's so cheap. Once you tack on ~$3 for delivery, $2 for some random unnamed "other fee," and a $2-$3 tip, you might as well have gotten carryout from Domino's instead.

Well yeah, but I can say GrubHub and UberEats don't require that you text the customer. GrubHub suggests you text them and UberEats makes you snap a pic of where you left it.

I've always gotten the impression that most gig economy delivery drivers just don't care at all though

Domino's 3 topping large for $7.99 carryout special is a way better deal than Little Caesars hot n ready for $5.

A friend of mines told me that a coworker of his has door dash as a second job and he just ate the food from the person he just report that it fell and he couldn't deliver it anymore.....how does this work? Do they send new food or a refund? Anyone know?

Never tried this, but I guess it'd likely work as long as you don't do it often.

Like the oversight on gig workers is generally pretty low. You can really get away with a lot.

If I had a car, I would never deal with any of those food apps.

I also prefer Uber Eats because you can at least track the driver on their way to your place, whereas DoorDash in my experiences has no GPS-tracking.

A lot of people join these programs and just eat the food and claim orders are un-deliverable. They do it until the programs kick them out.
