I get it. I have a car and I can drive it, but—like all of us—I’m busy, and sometimes I just need to have my food delivered. I don’t think it’s too much to ask a delivery service whose sole mission is to deliver (looking at you DoorDash) my Jersey Mike’s sandwich a meager 4 miles in less than two hours—if at all… by which time I’m ravenous, annoyed and somehow still subless.
Y’all. It’s a joke how often the delivery driver will just disappear without so much as a message or call (bro, I know your phone is in your hand). Yet, here I continue to shell out delivery fees and tips upfront while my driver bails on my order because they “can’t find me.” Um, do you know how to read an address?
Or if they do “find” me, they just drop my dinner two doors down?! Once, I even ordered Chinese food and they left it at my office rather than my house! (Yes, I confirmed I ordered it to my home address. Don’t @ me.) And nobody wants to chance Chinese takeout after it’s been sitting out unattended on a humid summer night.
Needless to say, DoorDash and I have parted ways, despite the coupons they continue to barrage me with. It’s not worth the drama, the hangryness—and damn sure not worth the delivery fee. Anyone know if Uber Eats is any better?
