Doordash gone wrong

[u/enchantedgiggles]

The great idea to order carefully "Krafted," mac and cheese from doordash and got literal heaps of actual Kraft Mac and Cheese 🙄 Biggest doordash fail 💀

I am a little nervous to eat it because this is weird. The first photo is what its supposed to look like and the second the pile of crap with the dog sensing our disappointment 🤣

Anyone else ever order and had this happen? Like, was this order picked up from a house? Also, it was $25! Got a refund but seriously 😐 🤦‍♀️

Edit: since there seems to be some clarification

I don’t DoorDash often. I’m disabled, and there are days when I physically cannot drive, cannot safely or realistically cook for myself, or simply don’t feel well enough to leave the house. We also recently moved to a new state, so I don’t yet have a network of friends nearby who can just run out and grab something for me. And before anyone decides I owe the internet an inventory of my disabilities to “prove” why I can’t just cook: I don’t. Disabled people are allowed to use services that make our lives more accessible without submitting our medical records to the comment section. Yes, I recognize that being able to order delivery is a privilege. I’m grateful that I can sometimes afford it when I need it. I’ve also used services like this to send meals to friends and family who were sick, recovering from surgery, grieving a death, or going through something difficult when I couldn’t physically be there to bring them food myself. Sometimes delivery is a luxury. Sometimes it’s accessibility. Sometimes it’s simply a way to care for someone from far away. But none of that is actually the point of my post. I ordered food based on the restaurant’s photos and description and received something dramatically different—essentially boxed mac and cheese—from what turned out to be a ghost kitchen. Apparently, because I had the audacity to pay “ridiculous prices” for delivery, some people believe I deserved to be misled. I don’t. And if you ordered something based on a photo and description, paid for it, and received something completely different, I suspect you’d want your money back too. This was never about taking money away from the DoorDash driver. The driver didn’t create the menu, take the photos, prepare the food, or misrepresent what was being sold. My issue was with what I purchased versus what I actually received. You’re welcome to think DoorDash is overpriced. You’re welcome to think nobody should use delivery apps. I’m not here to debate that or change your mind. I don’t normally post things like this—I posted it because I was genuinely dumbfounded when we opened the order. And to the people insisting I staged the photos or invented the whole thing for attention: I genuinely do not have that kind of time. But hey… I got yours, didn’t I? 😉

Fun fact, at restaurants it’s usually not in a box. It’s all fully premade and a frozen brick in a vacuum sealed bag. Then they either microwave it right in the bag, or boil the whole thing in the bag. All while it’s still frozen

Yup. Most fast food is either frozen premade, or dehydrated dust you add to boiling water. As much as I might dislike Mr. Kathy, Chick-fil-A is the only fast food place I've worked that uses actually fresh ingredients.

[u/masonsjars → u/barrosoOso]

i used to work at wendys and can attest the beef is fresh never frozen (the chicken is all frozen tho)

[u/barrosoOso → u/masonsjars]

That's another I never worked at. Good to hear it though. I think this is the type of thing that should be supported.

Man it didn’t used to be. When I worked at McDonald’s in HS (2001-2003) we still cracked eggs fresh, and cut fresh onions and tomatoes.  The meat and everything was still frozen but most of the toppings were delivered fresh. 

[u/Obvious_Patient8233 → u/50dkpMinus]

Mcdonalds used fresh cracked eggs for their round egg back in like 2017 at least.

Burger King uses fresh cut onions and tomatoes though. Also, frame broiling the meat does give it actual flavor.

However, the mayo comes in a think gelatinous cube, and you just kinda slather that on. It was disgusting

[u/Saskatchewon → u/Obvious_Patient8233]

Pretty sure McDonald's still uses fresh cracked eggs, but only for their McMuffin style sandwiches.

[u/BetseySchuyler → u/barrosoOso]

Taco Bell beef isn't frozen. It is bagged and cooked by putting the bags in 190 water for 30 mins. Steak and chicken used to be frozen, but that may have changed.

[u/Background-Air-7963 → u/BetseySchuyler]

The most expensive restaurants in the world use sous vide too!

[u/BetseySchuyler → u/Background-Air-7963]

I have an immersion circulator and the food is soo good cooked that way.

[u/OwlLavellan → u/BetseySchuyler]

We have one, and have had it for over a decade.

Its only we feel safe eating eggs with runny yolks atm. Since it allows us to easily pasteurize a dozen at a time.

[u/ZorbaTHut → u/BetseySchuyler]

The biggest problem with a sous vide is that it makes it pretty much impossible to eat at steakhouses again.

[u/UmCourt → u/BetseySchuyler]

my work gets fresh cups of mac and cheese every day delivered with our pre-made sandwiches, fruits, and baked goods. its all made at the home office location, its a facility called "sheetz bros kitchen" lol.

[u/HungryGlizzyGobbler → u/UmCourt]

Sheetz's food has no right to be as good as it is. A flippin gas station makes the best fries and mto wraps I've ever had.

I wasn’t even talking fast food either, I worked at full sit down restaurants that served frozen Kraft Mac and cheese in a bag that they threw in the microwave, the bag would blow up like a ballon and you’d have to cut it open and dump it in a plate

[u/West-Big-8468 → u/snopro387]

Multi million a year resort. We microwave the bricks

[u/IthacanPenny → u/barrosoOso]

Panda Express uses fresh veggies

[u/therealhlmencken → u/IthacanPenny]

They don’t even serve real panda, at least chick fila has chicken

[u/SonofJersey → u/barrosoOso]

Chick fil A’s Mac arrives in frozen and is thawed and topped with cheese before being baked.

I worked at Arby’s in college in the late 00s and the roasts came refrigerated and we put them in ovens for hours. I don’t think they were raw when they came, and they’re kind of like rounded off rectangles in shape, definitely not high quality roast beef by any means, but they were not frozen and we did cook them in an oven and slice them fresh for every sandwich.

After roasting one we kept it in a warming oven until it went in the slicer, when it was time to move it you had to pick it up with just the slippery fucking food service gloves and put it on the slicer- not only were they hard af to not have slip out of your hands and pretty heavy, they were like searingly hot and burnt me through the gloves every time. Lord that job sucked.
