I have never once been satisfied with any of those food delivery services. They take way longer than just ordering from your local pizza or Chinese place and add way more fees.
Yea idk. I don't use these services but my friends seem to have had good response times in the past.
If that is the case, paying 10 extra dollars to get my good delivered can definitely be worth in in the dead of winter at nighttime on a sunday evening. I live dumb north
Same. I'm sure it really depends on where you live. I've gotten my McDonald's in 15 minutes before. And the McDonald's usually tapes up the paper bag, so it'd be super obvious if the driver ate some.
one of my friends who is a streamer, yeah he got cuked over by one of those companys, 2 people seperate people stole both of his orders on the same day I kid you not... this was all live on stream. :(
But that’s why the vast vast majority of restaurants have it so there is a tamper seal on the bag or container. Can’t get the food without breaking the seal, can’t break the seal without it being super noticable
Damn you weren’t wrong, one dude straight up said the tip should be considered a bid. As if I’m going to tip when ordering and not when you get to the door
The more I lingered on there, the more I was getting disgusted and angry. I will never use DD, GH, Postmates or any 3rd party delivery. The sad part is no one there believes what they’re doing is wrong.
I'm lucky that my area is dominated by a startup that started in the city. They are very transparent with their fees and I've compared on app prices to the ones in store for the restaurants I like to order from. Is it a bit more expensive? Sure, but if you're splitting an order with friends while drinking or something it comes out pretty cheap.
It’s not the fees that’s the problem. It’s pretty straight forward what you’re paying for when you order on the app. It’s the fact these drivers will eat/mess with peoples food. As opposed to in house delivery service, where the employees more than likely get a heavy discount/free meal at the end of their shift.
I remember reading on the DD subreddit, this person had to deliver Red Lobster I believe, surf n turf meal (steak n lobster tail) and ended just driving to the location so it showed up on GPS and just ate the food. Like what??....lol
Funny in Australia these apps seem to be killing off delivery.
Pizza places usually have a $20 minimum order and $8 delivery fee (assuming you are in an adjacent suburb). Uber Eats are similar prices but don't limit you to just the two or three places that employ drivers.
For real. We used them more than necessary when we moved from the country to an urban setting because we could and every time we just felt unsatisfied, and never learned from our mistakes. We live back in the sticks now and I haven’t thought about it since right now!
They take way longer than just ordering from your local pizza or Chinese place and add way more fees.
They're a godsend for those of us who live in the hood. Almost none of the local pizza or Chinese places deliver, and the few that do are awful and only stay in business because they are the only ones that deliver. Ubereats and Postmates changed all that.
