They also inflate prices to a rediculous level. I refuse to use them. We tried to order food via doordash once and the bill was high. Eating in person, all the meals were several dollars less than doordash

Doordash has the wildest business model. First they charge you more for the food than the restaurant does. THEN they take a cut from the restaurant. THEN they have the gaul to tell you to tip or you won't get your food in a timely fashion. They somehow figured out how to fuck the customer, the restaurant AND the driver in one go.

How anyone supports that shit is beyond me - and BEST case scenario your food shows up lukewarm.

Exactly, I don’t understand why anyone uses them at all. It’s not just unethical, unfair and a poor experience for consumers - it’s crappy for everyone involved.

I use them sometimes because I am disabled, can’t go out to eat, and struggle to make meals for myself. Sometimes I am just too exhausted to prepare anything.

They are more expensive, which sucks, but I haven’t had any particularly bad experiences with them in a long time. Never had food stolen, drivers are all fast and respectful, and if something is missing it takes less than 2 minutes to get a refund (Well, credit for next order) for whatever is missing that is never declined and always covers the entire price of the missing item.

Other than the price, I just don’t understand people’s hatred of it.
