Thread: Doordash now warns you your food might come cold if you don't tip
Uber Eats promised me a full refund/credit for my late order.
6 hours later, I ask them to honor that promise & I get a series of nasty agents trying to weasle out of the promise made by their company's employee & ended up ignoring my screenshot.
A horrible & humiliating process, but I prayed against them

They are usually low paying orders ($2 to $5) if they are that close to the restaurant, so I usually decline them. I only accepted them when I was new to doordash and I didn't realize that low paying orders never have hidden tips in them.
However I did get lucky a few times and got like up to $15 w/out any driving. The key here was accepting a $6.25 order from a nice restaurant with low distance ($6.25 is the minimum for an order to potentially have a hidden tip. And hidden tips have no limit...the biggest one I got was a surprise $50 tip on an order saying it was $6.25, but I hear about people getting $100+ hidden tips).
I used Grubhub at during the pandemic, that shit got expensive. I stopped using that and any other delivery services. Brought own lunch instead.
People need to stop being lazy, cook your own meals or go grab it yourselves!
I just can't believe how many people use this shit for every meal. I went to my brother's house this one day to put a bookshelf together for him and when I got there, some lady was at their door holding a bag from Tim Hortons.
It turns out that my brother's wife ordered a $5 box of donut holes and had them delivered. So she paid probably close to $20 for that...
There are days when I'm so exhausted or sick that I don't feel like cooking and I might order from a place that uses Door Dash for the delivery and I hate myself for wasting all that money, but it's rare and I'm knowingly choosing to spend way more than I should because of the situation. But every night? Multiple times in a day? People need less access to their own money...

It made sense when you wanted food from a place that doesnt deliver. McDonalds is a great example. Your to lazy to go get a big mac and fries so order Uber.
The problem is now with fees and tip your paying almost double the price of the order. During the pandemic the fees were super low sometimed even free delivery. Its a fun novelty. But now its just ridiculous and a rip off.
The Chinese place near me almost doubled their prices and I was just like ok how hard can it really be if Ching Tang is making 73 of these per day back there?
So exactly like you, I go on youtube and look up videos on how to use a wok, how to cook the dishes I wanted, etc. I now make a spicy Szechuan sauce from scratch and reduce it down to almost a syrupy glaze of a sauce. And of course I get some fresh as hell chicken breasts that I slice up, fresh veggies, and lots of heat and oil.
