Topic: I fucking hate delivery apps (DoorDash, Uber Eats)
Anonymous A started this discussion 1 month ago #131,795
Delivery fee, service fee, and wages offloaded onto customers through tipping. And if someone fucks up your order the delivery service and restaurant blame each other. Maybe you get a partial refund.
So a $20 meal becomes $28, then +$33 with tip? Fuck you. I’ll place a pickup order or cook at home.
I liked when I could order a pizza and the business sent a guy. A $20 pizza was just that and you tipped because he delivered it, not because he’s some foreign guy who has indentured himself to an app with a shitty rewards system and you realize you’re his only source of income.

My other half is bad with money and does this often. Drives me nuts finding $45 mcdonalds receipts laying around.

Guy at my job doordashes a single coffee every time he's in the office. It has to cost him like 7 dollars for the coffee and like 10 dollars for the fees! It makes no sense at all.

Most of the places on these sites have their own websites and the prices are cheaper because they're not paying 20% to Uber

I’m probably misusing the phrase, but it’s almost like an effort to shift an Overton Window to what we find acceptable to spend money on. The “convenience” of paying a lot more, being guilted into +20% tips, and a lack of accountability.
I hate Uber and the like for destroying urban cab companies, which also were required to carry regulated medallions, then jacking prices. “Surge pricing” was an early effort at AI-like congestion pricing, demand pricing, etc. That is, bullshit.
It would be great to form some kind of Black Hand consumer’s union that could form a counterweight to these companies. They pull some shit and 500,000 people cut their usage the next day.

Going gay wouldn't help, I'd still end up with someone high maintenance lol.

You’d think gays would have it easy. They told me otherwise. How is it so much drama with two dudes? They do have big falling outs and cheating but they’re also more honest about the limits of monogamy.
It’s amazing how friends of mine, saddened by their Viagra dependence, didn’t need it at all in new relationships.

I’m just going to point out that in this thread people are talking about the gig economy, the changing Overton window, and homosexuality.
I’m not saying y’all are gay for pay.

I don’t order takeout because the options around me suck or are overpriced. I bought three cookbooks last year. This way I don’t have to deal with porn-like recipe sites with pop ups and expanding ads as you scroll and 5+ reloads. I spent about $100 on ingredients outside of my usual type and I was off.

My choices were a Mediterranean cookbook covering the entire landmass around it, an East Asian book with multiple countries, and one for South America.

Yum but be careful on the oils you use.
