    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.

      I work at a nursing home and all the residents order from DD. The food there is bland as hell.

      Are you disabled? Because I know a lot of people who can’t drive who order delivery because of disability.

      But some people are just insensitive dick heads, I guess.

      Does McDonalds not deliver themselves in the US?

      Edit: Nvm just googled it and found out the McDonalds branded cars here are just run by local delivery services

      It’s so weird. I had my work card skimmed somehow and they only used it to buy $80 worth of McDonalds in two orders and all I could think was what a waste of an opportunity. You could have got anything and you instead bought shitty food that was no doubt delivered cold.

    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!!

    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?

      It’s very regional. Where I live, Doordash and Grubhub rarely lets me down.

      Ubereats has repeatedly sent their drivers to completely the wrong neighborhood. The first time we used them the food was delivered across the street and three houses down. We didn’t even know where it went until hours later when a neighbor showed up with it.

    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)

      While I agree it’s better to generally do it yourself, especially since these delivery services are really expensive compared to doing so, would you have the same opinion if someone was absolutely shit faced and just wanted to eat takeout? I wouldn’t want them on the road.

        Im sure they were specifically thinking about people with disabilities when they commented. And not people that klarna their Costco hotdog over 4 payments.

          You give them too much credit, they can only think of themselves, the issue is, they can’t and won’t think of anyone else.

          If they would stop and think enough that those people come up, other more important people SHOULD come first, yeah?

            I probably do give them too much credit, but to me it felt like they were complaining about “the lazy youths”. There’s probably people who need medicine delivered thru these apps, idk if they were mentioned yet.

            But I don’t fault someone for not trying to consider every group of people that might benefit or need a service before making a disparaging statement.

              Mate, they started with the disparaging. Miss me with that shit. They deserve zero respect, and should get called out on their bullshit. You’re enabling them if you don’t.

              Even if it’s “the lazy youths” keep your fucking yap shut and mind your own damn business. Don’t defend this crap, you have no idea what someone is going through.

        You can walk the dogs and garden, but not having take out delivered is a horror beyond comprehension? And nowhere else in page after page of your history do you say you are disabled. It is also not in your profile. I’m calling bullshit.

        What also is in your history, is page after page of “deleted by mod”. You must be a real piece of work.

        Also an attitude score of 6%???

        From your comment history:

        https://lemmy.world/comment/24983943

        "I’ve got neurodivergent kids, so I get up at 5 to be able to walk the dogs and still get a little me time till needing to deal with the kids at 7. One can be a handful before his meds kick in.

        Wish they could be trusted alone at home more so I can sleep in, but at that point my routine and “ritual” is disturbed. So I don’t know haha."

          I’ve stated multiple times in my comments that I have carpal tunnel, it’s an invisible disability, getting help is hard enough since I’m not the stereotypical in a wheelchair disabled. Fuck you.

          Can a person with a broken foot still not go for a walk? Even though it’s painful? In fact it’s encouraged for exercise! Shows how little you know who think about others.

          Driving is painful, I do it when I have to. You clearly have zero empathy for others, especially others less abled than you.

          You’re a piece of shit for going through and cherry picking my comments like this, thanks for proving my original point though. There’s plenty of comments where I talk about, and I guess since I don’t want to label myself, I’m not? Yeah fuck you.

          And I use a walking harness for my dogs so I’m not holding leashes in my hands, I do what I can so I can still live my life. But than there’s absolute assholes like you that think I need to justify myself. Fuck you.

            It’s a fair cop. I’ve done a new search and you did mention having the surgery about three months ago. So you win that.

            Now if we can just do something about that filthy mouth and constant downvoting.

              You’ve had mod actions, don’t preach from the high horse.

              And I worked construction, it’s the vernacular, I’ve also got no tolerance for people like you and you don’t deserve the respect either.

              So again, fuck you. You’re the worst kind of person.

      Consider how many millions of people use them. If their customer service fucks up 0.01% of the time, that’s still thousands of people having to put up with this shit.

    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.
