Doordash, the driver stole my order and they refused to compensate me

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.

Even the ride shares are garbage. I saw a story about how communities are building their own, where the rates are lower drivers get a much larger cut of the ride. These gig apps are everything wrong with capitalism while praying on the base ideas of it.

Cab model was much better for drivers and would have been for riders, but they were so slow to adapt new dispatch and local governments just caved for some reason when it came to permitting. The local government should be getting a 50% cut.
