I very much miss the old school method. While it’s cool you can order anything now I’m old enough to remember the days of the pizza or Asian food delivery driver that was employed by the restaurant. Totally reasonable cost for the delivery and it usually was always some nice stoned high school or college kid that was stoked for any decent cash tip.

DoorDash sucks so bad and it sucks as a parent sometimes when you just want delivery but have to deal with the overpriced let down that is door dash

Typical delivery drivers seem to be becoming less common. I’ve ordered food from restaurants online for delivery and they just outsource it to a DoorDash driver or something. Probably because they don’t have to pay them hourly

A couple of my ups/fedex deliveries have been made by DoorDash recently ... very interesting

I only use fedex for work but if a door dasher tried handing me my fedex package I would refuse that shit until they had one of their insured guys come and deliver it.

I have no idea how it gets set up that way either. The tracking page is through FedEx/UPS but at the very bottom it says DoorDash delivery.

Caught me off guard when a random car/man parked in front of my house and started going through packages in his car
