Uber is quite likely netting drat near 50% of the menu costs on orders I'd love to pay the restaurant that already pays employees to deliver, but apparently being more than a mile from them means they can't deliver to my area. I'm 1.2 miles from them, I'm not in an area that it massively crime filled, it's just a normal, safe, apartment complex. NOPE! Can't deliver from the restaurant!. Fine, I'll pay basic menu cost for the food and let doordash exploit me for 75% more cost to get it to me. I mean I don't like paying that much, but when I don't give a gently caress and just want someone to bring me food... I don't care who does. I wouold gladly pay the restaurant full price + delivery fees + tip, but they don't offer that.

You're all right about Uber Eats being trash, and lovely they charge the restaurants on top of the fees they already collect. You've inspired me to stop using Uber Eats (and maybe Uber in general). I'm going to force myself to not use Uber Eats for one full week. Just kidding, I'll try not to use it for 6 months. Or never again?! We'll see.

I just use it for pickup, no service fees and there's pretty good deals like 2 for 1s. Most places jack the price up a little but it's worth it to know exactly when your food is ready. Stuff like wings get steamed into losing their crunch in only a couple minutes.

ballistics statistics posted:Why did you call them you fukken boomer? There's like 2 buttons to press "I had an issue with my order" > "My food was wrong/didn't get delivered" If you reread my post I just said I contacted them not called them lol. But that’s what I did and it still put me through to a support chat window.

I've never used a meal delivery app myself but they did once give me someone else's pizza when I happened to be hungry so I thank them for that.

With the eviction moratorium ending I really think we should be thankful that Uber Eats allows so many of their delivery people to work from home.

If there is anything that will get me to stop watching a TV show it's when it tries to hip, cool and relevant when it switches "Can you call me cab?" with "Can you call me an Uber?" iZombie was guilty of this.

"Wow, $8 off my order! What a savings!" I say as I order $20 worth of food with $6 of taxes & service fees, $3 of delivery charges and a $4 tip tacked on instead of just calling the loving restaurant directly and picking the food up myself.

It's literally worse than that. You order 20$ worth of food but because everything secretly costs more on their app it's actually 12 dollars worth of food. The service fee itself is 4 dollars and so your 12 dollars worth of food already costs around 26 dollars after tax. Now you add the delivery fee which can be as low as 50 cents or as high as 6 dollars with no rhyme or reason, so lets assume 3 dollars and now we're at 29 dollars. If you tip 15% you are now looking at just about 34 dollars for 12 dollars worth of food. I often get tempted by these apps but pull out at the last minute because I'm too cheap for this poo poo

I like spending money on fast food delivery because I can’t loving drive, tell me how to do this without supporting Uber or curing my epilepsy so I can drive and I’ll do it you weird commies. Please note: even if I was cured and suddenly could drive I would still refuse to do so, because I hate it so bad I think all drivers should be paid for it. Ok gonna spend $35 on $12 worth of Taco Bell now.

If you tip 15% you are now looking at just about 34 dollars for 12 dollars worth of food. Also on top of their jacked up menu prices and fees and poo poo, all these apps take a direct cut from the restaurants for each order, usually around 15-25% depending on how much leverage the business has. I know a site manager for a chain of BBQ resturants in the area, they have four locations all doing well and were in plans to open a 5th before COVID. Despite this DoorDash originally came at them demanding a 25% cut, which they managed to get down to 18% after a lot of teeth pulling. Woe to the small family-run Chinese place that only made a couple bucks off each order before these apps came along and now have the thinnest of margins to work with.

The best part of ordering from a delivery app now is that they gently caress over their drivers so badly they're all running like 3-5 accounts in parallel just to break even and are on the hook for a bunch of other orders you're unaware of. So half the time the delivery takes three times as long as the estimate and when the poor delivery person finally does show up with your stuff it's cold and lovely. Also I'm annoyed because I used to order grocery delivery from Safeway and it was great because they had an actual unionized delivery guy with a refrigerated truck who ran a full route, but now if you order from them 9/10ths of the time it's just some poor Doordash person with your groceries shoved in their backseat.

Though even when it's cheaper than picking it up yourself you're still rolling the dice on whether you get your food a: as ordered or b: still hot. If restaurants around me had delivery as an option I'd rather pay their employees but the only delivery I can get is from pizza chains that charge you like 6 bucks an order for a "Not a tip" fee that did not previously exist and I dunno where it came from or why it's here now. It just appeared out of nowhere sometime after college and I dunno why anyone put up with it. ArbitraryC fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Aug 5, 2021 |
