Delivery Apps Screw Over Everyone

Pretty sure I canceled my dash pass a few months ago only to see a subscription charge on my bank account. I was so confused....

I got a survery about delivery apps before this video

I was about to say how glad I am that my work stopped working with doordash, but I was just fired/quit today so FUCK EM ALL IM GETTIN DRUNK

Fuck door dash. They’re ruining my favorite businesses.

Whenever I ordered from this taco place I love from Postmates my order was ALWAYS wrong. If I went to the place myself the order was right. I stopped using Postmates and will never again

On Christmas, doordash didn't even know which places were closed, so I didn't even know a place was closed till I got there and the customer had already told me to leave it on his porch, luckily I still get half of what I normally get if I take a picture of the store being closed but it probably cost more gas to get there than what I actually made. I didn't even know i could get half pay if the store was closed until a dasher told me about it.

Literally the only delivery app I use is domino's app because I've had a problem like once out of the hundred times I've used it and they gave me a free pizza.

all these apps are a biginnings to the huge automation of the future so theyre jumpstarting it to make sure it works anyone who made an original service will charge more then come competitors that achieve better prices then better conditions for work

One time we got calls asking why DoorDash had such a long wait time. There was a visible tornado funnel. I turned the DoorDash tablet off so I could get all my employees in the bathroom and away from the front of the store which is 90% glass. Also no sane person is going to be driving for DoorDash during a tornado. Make your own goddamn food.

This is what you get when you live in a country where economic development is more of a priority than welfare of the people

Unless they find a way to cut costs somehow, I can't see this type of business model succeeding

The monopoly scenario you're describing isn't something that has ever happened in the market. If someone tries to eliminate their competition to raise their prices, more competition emerges to undercut them. Prices being hiked up isn't a realistic problem, the problem is prices being so low that only these giant companies can afford to play in the market and all the smaller businesses get crushed underneath them. There's zero chance of a monopoly, but there's a real issue with the oligopoly.

yeah so i order from doordash and grubhub alot and ill tell you why they are losing money. their drivers stealing the food. I order there about 5-6 times a week (I know its bad but i work 14 hr days, get off me) and im my 5-6 times a week i have my order stolen by the driver about 1-2 times per week. meaning 1/3 of my orders are just being picked up by the driver and the driver drives home and says 'delivered' and eats my food. you can watch them drive and ive seen someone pull up to my address and i look outside and see them in their car and i walk out and right as i open my door they drive off and when i look back at my computer it says 'delivered' even though it wasnt. of course i always file a complaint and they have always refunded my money but in that is the problem. 1/3 orders is being taken so grubhub is basically losing money by me ordering from them. They REALLY REALLY need a way to track the drivers or write them up or something. Take it out of their pay is what i say. figure out a way that when the food is delivered the person who receives the food has to mark something as delivered or whatever before the driver can leave idk idgaf. All i know is drivers keep stealing my food. its become such a problem that every time i order i immediately call the restaurant and tell them that when the driver arrives to let them know that the customer is tracking the order and will report them if they dont deliver it correctly. THEN I immediately txt the driver once they accept the order and tell them i will be waiting outside and that I am tracking the order speed for 'quality assurance' and that I am a 'tester for doordash' or something to get them to think that I actually work there and that I will be tracking them for some sort of corporate quality control or some crap. that has gotten my orders from being stolen about half the time to only 1/5 so once a week. It got top the point where once I ordered food and the driver drove literally the opposite direction from my house and seemingly drove home and NEVER marked it as delivered. so i watched him parked at what i assume was his house for 3 hours until i called them and they canceled my order and apologized. I then reordered the SAME ORDER and a different driver picked up my food and drove like halfway to my house and marked it delivered. I never had a knock and when i walked outside there was no food. I called again and told them and they apologized and refunded me a second time. At this point I thought well it cant happen again right? like what are the odds? I am far too hungry to spend an hour cooking noodles and sauce and all that and thats all i had. So i placed a different order at a place that was really close.... long story short that order was also taken. 3 in a row. like if you want to know where doordash and grubhubs money is going its those thieves that take your food. some ppl have had better luck than me but i will say its a real problem. if you go onto reddit there is alot of ppl complaining about it.

Lmao I got a doordash add before this video

hahaha i got a doordash ad right before this

Skip the dishes is absolutely the verb “wanna get skip?” Is usually how it goes

Anyone else see aj Uber eats add before this video , the freaking irony

So many businesses, companies, products have come about because....we're lazy

lmao doordash ad on this video was perfect.

watching this as i wait for ubereats

“Hi, I’m a cringey Postmates robot and would like to place a pickup order. Are you ready?”

delivery apps are robbery

this is actually super insightful because all of this happens on a day to day basis where i work

I got 2 ads for food delivery apps on the beginning

thank you for the picture of a hot dog Drew Gooden

I use postmates sometimes but when I do get delivery I almost always use uber eats, it's the one that sucks the least in my opinion. So whenever I order delivery I automatically use uber eats as the verb.

and thats why capitalism isn't sustainable:)

I got a door dash ad wtf

Thank God within a 3 block radius I have two Italian /pizza places , a Chinese place a and a combo Thai food/fried chicken restaurant (you heard that right) so I always just go pick it up instead

This would be great if it was sponsored by Hello Fresh

I'm never using doordash again. Everytime I order anything from anywhere I never get the drink ever but always get charged for it. I get ice coffee and frappes and they a fortune and I never get them. And anytime they claim they dont have something they never refund me the whole amount because the workers at thecrestuarisnts steal your shit then claim the machine is broken then doordash wont refund you. I'm never using again. They never tell you they dont have what you ordered until your dasher already picked it up then refuse to refund you. Regardless of which restaurant it is. The bums working at these fast food places wont answer the phone because they know it's you calling to complain that your getting charged for nothing so they drink your 6 dollar drink for free. Then they can just act like the driver took it. I will never use fldoordash again fuck them. If you dont have what I want then tell me and I'll cancel and go elsewhere. Nothing but thieves in this world. 4 out of 5 times I used doordash this happened. I spent 125 dollars this week and got 2 medium fries 12 doughnuts and 2 frappes and an ice coffee and 20 price nugget for 125 dollars. I was supposed to get about twice the food for 100 dollars

God the other day I payed 23 fucking dollars for one chipotle bowl.

Business like Netflix make money not off of movies or their streaming service, they make the money off of their stock.

I Deliveroo vindaloo.

Californian here - Prop 22 actually would not have affected driver schedules at all. It was really clear in the text of the law, on purpose, to avoid this confusion. But the apps had so much fun lying loudly about it that no one noticed that the prop wouldn't help drivers at all, and now it's stuck on our books.

Anyone know if skipthedishes is like this?

As one who works in a restaurant DoorDash is sometimes the most annoying with customers calling with issues DoorDash caused. Totally still don’t use DoorDash for myself

I usually order from Wolt. Prices are same as in the restaurants and delivery is only 1$.

"Convenience.. Is very convenient."

i cant take grubhub seriously

I cook the food, you deliver the food, we do they for 40 years and then we die!

Here in Germany there is like only 1 left of these services. It's a Dutch company, I believe, that ate all the other similar companies in one go. I had to order food from my favourite greek ... Well it's really just a small shack next door. But we are good buddies and he told me, he noticed I ordered once via delivery and told me about the price gauges and what not. But some things where inconsistent. In the pricings, like they don't add up so he told me that's because he really just doesn't want to have this hassle anymore, he makes good money because so many people order for delivery but he misses the interaction and people sharing stories when he prepares their food etc. I kinda feel him there, he is an old dude and been doing this for longer than I live. He still makes some of the best stuff I've ever tasted and gets me fed for a day for less than 10 bucks.

I got a doordash add on this lol

I used to deliver dominos and they don’t pay a delivery fee to you, only tips and in shop, door dash is much more profitable

I think the only thing wrong with this video is thinking the driver isnt blamed for everything

I know this video is old now but in case you're still curious, when I first started using delivery apps the only one I used was Uber Eats, and thats because I was living in dormitories and skip would always map the dorms to just anywhere on campus and then drivers would get mad at me and tell me I put the address in wrong. Uber drivers always showed up to the building I actually lived in.

**Eats delivered food with malicious intent**

Look at the actual price of things on the menus at the stores in person, they spike the numbers also

There are a lot of staple Companies in America that run in the red, just like the rest of the country. They are unsustainable, and will eventually die, just like America. America is not the best country, and eventually, nobody will lend to us anymore. Approximate lifetime of a country is usually between 250 and 340 years. America is 244 years old.

got a doordash add. on the video talking about the flaws of delivery apps

i got a postmates ad on this video

My verb is..drive

The first time I ever ordered doordash I ordered some food and a drink from an Asian restaurant. I got my food order late and wasn't given my drink. When I called the restaurant they agreed that the driver that they gave the food to was untrustworthy and that they had given my full order and we're happy to completely refund me which I refused. Some doordash a****** was drinking my fruity drink happy as a mother f*****.

I literally got a door dash ad before this video. Great marketing

hey guy

You're assuming that these apps are the product... They're not. They're basically marketing for the eventual ipo that they're hoping that naïve millennials will buy into.

Doordash is the Craigslist of food delivery apps

I hate that I have to use these services so much lately cause I lost my car. I'M GOING BROKE and I still have to buy I new junker

As a driver of doordash , while cash tips are appreciated, a lot of times if you only plan on tipping in cash your order will be passed around or declined a bunch because the base pay for an order is like 3$ and a lot of drivers won’t take it because it’s a waste of money and we can’t bank on a customer using a cash tip . Driving 11 miles for 3$ and not getting a tip is a huge waste of gas and time .

I got an ad for Uber Eats on this video

I once waited over an hour and a half for popcorn, pop, hotdog and candy from Cineplex. I ordered through UberEats. I tried to call three times...never picked up. He apparently had other drop-offs before mine. But one of the drops of was literally a couple blocks from my place. I don't blame the drive. I'm assuming the GPS gave him a certain route to follow.

Best part is post mates put an add in n this video

“Convenience is very convenient”

I think this video got shadowbanned

I got a door dash commercial before this, oh and like every other 3 videos I watch

Got a grub hub and door dash ad

"Delivery apps screw over everyone." "I've been using Hello Fresh for years!"

I use Postmates as my go-to verb because it’s the app I used/downloaded first and the one I use most often 🤷🏻‍♀️

There was a DoorDash ad before this video

I do work for Door Dash and I gotta say that I wish that a lot of the extra fees went to the drivers more.

I’m the verb in these situations.

Employee vs Freelance, Why not both? Why not just hire a number of drivers as full time employees in order to ensure a more consistent delivery service, but let other people work as independent contractors? Just hire those who apply with the best resumes up to however many employees they feel they need, and then everyone can just operate independently otherwise or when they aren’t on their shift. It would be more consistent with delivery times and those who really want to do it as a full time job could do so.

in brazil we have ifood. and it is terrible.

I just got a door dash ad on this video lol

i like your shirt

“convenience is very convenient” -Drew Gooden

Not me getting a doordash ad before this too

i got a delivery app ad from this

How do Food Delivery Driver's Deliver Big Orders of $100 dollars to $700 dollars of 1 person holy damn that's alot of food depending on what it is also what if someone ordered $200 dollars worth of 2 Litre bottles of Coke/Pepsi oh what the Excercise would that be ....

I just got a door dash ad

There's certaintly a lot of dumb money thrown around by silicon valley investors... cough... Wework... cough*...

Me who just goes to the drive thru: i am in control.

Eat fleet

I just got a door dash add haha.

Yeah I do postmates as well as doordash, postmates specifically says on every order DO NOT GIVE RECEIPT TO CUSTOMER

as a south east asian we usually say "yeah i'll GrabFood/Grab you the food" since its like the most popular app that people use to send food and most restaurants have their own delivery service already, at least, the really popular ones do

Uber is the Verb I use

The doordash tip policy is literally how it works for normal servers in restaurants so people should really be trying to stop that as well.

If I get delivery, it’s only from places with their own delivery staff.

I always look at the menu on door dash and call the restaurant and ask for takeout based on that menu. Every single time I've done it, the restaurant has given me a total price lower than what the website calculated.

Yeah, I order and I pick it up myself. Never made a single order with those apps, making daytime robbery.

Our Uber alternative is Grab, but there are other food delivery options such as FoodPanda or Deliveroo

pin where why and how

I got a delivery app just before this video

i know this video is a tiny bit old now but, i'd like to offer a slight correction. door dash doesn't require you to schedule your times. it just allows you to set schedules for yourself so you don't get caught up working and end up late to something. it's also supposed to be a sort of *motivational tool* giving yourself a set time to work within makes it feel more structured and less like a "i hope i can feed my kids" kind of gig. plus at one point they said they'd pay you at least minimum wage but that like....never happened. lol i guess what i'm saying here is that you don't (in my experience) have to schedule, you can dash at any time. it's just an option they give you.

Got a doordash ad before this video

I totally understand where you're coming from and at the same time I personally work for doordash and it's honestly kind of saved me. I have pretty severe anxiety+panic attacks etc. so working retail or in a restaurant or whatever was just not an option for me. And most of the time people are so kind, one of my fav things to do is to try and make my customers day better if I can in some way. I thoroughly enjoy my job and I wouldn't have one if it weren't for doordash. I think the extra fees are ridiculous though lol I rarely ever order food bc of that. Makes a lot more sense to order food if you're buying a lot though, then the fees aren't as big of a nuisance.

I didn’t really read the title and I though for 5 minutes that he was just talking about his sponsor in response to this problem...

I just got a door dash ad before this

It’s a great side hustle but all in all it’s garbage
