DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip::The app-based delivery service is alerting customers that drivers may not take their order in a timely manner if there is no tip included upfront.
People who waste their money on DoorDash deserve to lose it. Learn to make your own food or pick it up your damn self. At least order from places that do their own delivery.
You’re acting like that is an option for everyone and you’re blaming the people who order from DoorDash which is both pointless and ignorant and helps absolutely no one.
Outside of emergency situations where you’re physically unable to go out and your power is out so you cannot cook and have nothing edible without being cooked, there is no reason a food delivery service is necessary. Food can be delivered from grocery stores and can be cooked.
I’d like to just link my other comment but I’ll rewrite my point, there’s a lot of health conditions and other scenarios where someone may be unable to cook or get help in that moment.
If you have the income for it, DoorDash is an amazing option for this in the US. It’s a lot simpler where I live where you can just get ready to eat fresh food from supermarkets and the restaurants deliver things themselves, but people themselves are not to blame for using DoorDash.
If they are unable to prepare meals themselves, how are they getting up and answering the door? You’re describing a very narrow niche that likely doesn’t really exist. The vast vast majority of people who use these services are capable but unwilling to get it themselves.
I don’t support any of these gig-economy services for various reasons, but this isn’t on DoorDash. This is the reality of the situation, and the consumer isn’t being screwed.
My comment is more or less focused on mental health, where there can be huge blockades to go and prepare food and it’s quite common. I do understand that a huge chunk of people are simply unwilling though.
Over here things like delivery is more of a fun thing you do every 2 weeks, and not a common occurrence which is ideally how it should be. I find comments targetting people like the original quite lame as it accomplishes nothing, and the root cause is how corporations and education in the US works.
“Mrrrm, I HAVE to order McDonald’s at DoorDash, I can’t be expected to do for myself as an adult Mrrrrrrrm”
That’s how you sound right now.
Not quite, there’s a lot of health issues and other things that can impact someone’s ability to cook on their own or get help at that current moment. DoorDash is oftentimes great for scenarios like that and the people aren’t to blame.
Mockery instead of trying to think of reasons why my point could be valid is also a very low blow to make.
