Food Delivery Nightmares thread - Doordash to hell

[The Skeksis Emperor]

I've had good experiences with deliveries, but that's because I refuse to use scammy services like UberEats and Deliveroo. I only use the local service here that hires people as employees and pays them at least minimum wage. They hire like a normal company so it's mostly teenagers or students and not shifty male Africans coming to your door at night. It's a little more expensive but my shit gets there warm and on time, and food delivery is expensive anyway.

I ordered from Wendy's and when the driver was a short time away, I noticed he stopped nearby and hadn't moved for a while, when I inquired, he replied in (translated to English) Spanish that the police confiscated his car due to expired insurance.

tried getting support from ubereats support pajeet, and he said the refund went through. checked, and it hadn't went through.

contacted the pajeets again, and they managed to get the refund to go through.

It all worked out in the end, and I used the refunded money at the drive-thru instead.

doordash niggers can't help themselves from rootin around in the french fries

I don't live in burgerland but almost every single place I order from seals the bag with stickers and it is delivered in paper bags so if they try to open it, it would tear the bag. Each box/whatever is also usually sealed with tape/stickers to prevent spillage and I guess to ensure no one has opened it after it has left the restaurant.

I'm surprised a company as big as ubereats can't just solve a problem like this by making it a policy/requirement. A roll of tape/stickers really doesn't cost that much.

Sometimes there are stickers. Depends on the restaurant. Like I know Chick-Fil-A is usually pretty good about putting stickers on the doordash items to seal them. Most places don't though. I've had my french fries eaten so many times before lol. The crazy thing is if they had just asked me for some when they delivered it, I would have given them some damn fries.

One time we ordered pizza, fish, pop, dessert from a local place 5 minutes away and the dude forgot the pizza.

Then he came back and it wasn't our pizza, and we sent him back to get it.

Started out terrible but ended up great since we got 2 pizzas.

Absolute worst was trying to order from Potbelly during the pandemic. Thought I'd give me and my parents a treat by ordering food plus during that period they offered sliced deli meat and cheese. $100, they never came, left a bad review, got a refund and a gift card. Never ended up using the gift card since I thought that would mean I tolerated their bullshit and it expired somewhere along the line.

I'm an UberEats Driver, A.M.A.

This one time I ordered a lot of food on DoorDash, the delivery person brought it to one of my neighbors by mistake, and they accepted it. Needless to say, their front door is now extremely pissed on.

one time i order food and it wasnt hot anymore

 

[Celestia's Little Helper]

Told my stupid ass friends I was bringing a treat (cookies) to the hang, they assumed I was bringing dinner. Out of the goodness of my heart, I order a party size pizza and soda from a local place that contracts out deliveries to Slice. Either the driver stole my order or they went to the wrong trailer and one of the trashy neighbors stole it because I had prepaid. Friends act miserable because they're hungry and apparently have no snacks or fuckin anything in the house. Not so much a horror story, just a lesson I had to learn. Don't ever do anything nice.

Never heard of slice before?
And food theft is a huge issue. The coom at local greasy spoon near me told me they get constant complaints about missing food and drinks.

Rude of them

Not so much a horror story, just a lesson I had to learn. Don't ever do anything nice.

There's so many new types of these delivery services services and they all seem to suffer the same issues.
Missing food or slow delivery times or worse.

 

[We Are The Witches]

I never use food delivery, for a bunch of reasons that would immediately prevent me from doing so, but asides from that, I also don't trust it.

There's always stories like these, where turns out the one delivering stole and then spat on the rest of the food, why the hell would I open myself for that?

Food at home is better, and if I can't make anything, I can always eat carrots. That's infinitely better than any delivery, so problem solved.

I haven’t used any of those apps in years. Ordered through UberEats like three times total and every time it was a shit show. Retarded fucking pajeets and spics who are completely mystified by GPS, couldn’t even figure out how to read the correct house number and dropped off my food five houses down. That’s assuming they’re even on time and not just sitting in their car for an hour smelling their finger or whatever it is dipshits who can’t get real jobs do.

 

[Monolith]

My dad ordered take-out a while ago, and asked me to pay for my half of the food. He did not tell me that the delivery charge would be $150 for $50 worth of food.

The Plague hit our household so we ordered Uber Eats a couple times. Wow it has gotten bad. One time a lot of the smaller, more easily grab able items were missing and the bag had been hastily and obviously re sealed. Another time it was left over a block away so I had to drag my feverish, aching ass out to get food anyway.

Ugh. I’m not bothering next time I’m sick. It used to be awesome

I don't order anything, but what I hate is, that some restaurants take more orders than they have production capacity for (before that, they wouldn't need to make more meals at a time than there is chairs inside), and of course they prioritize the delivery customers, because they wanna avoid bad reviews on the app. So if you sit inside, you wait for eternity for your order, but the door is never closed for the couriers are rushing in and out constantly.
Also the couriers are pain in the ass in traffic, they have to drive dangerously so their job pays off. I hate them driving the cars, I hate them on bikes and I hate them on whatever circus clown vehicle they use.

Did it a few times during the pandemic. Once the driver picked up my order, went to a sit down restaurant and had a meal, THEN brought my food.

Other remarkable time is when the driver pulled up in a lada wearing a speedo and an adidas track shirt and spoke to me in a heavy fake russian accent.

 

[Troon_Patrol]

I work a lot of late nights and realized the difference in price of food I was ordering and final cost after taxes/tip/service fees and bullshit. $12 sandwich and fries turned into $30, waste of money. I rarely do any of that anymore if I order food I just pick it up in person and insist on paying in person they tend to get the orders right 99% of the time.

As far as worst food delivery story. Nothing really that interesting. Some people get my address mixed up with another similar one a block away. Girlfriend orders food delivery to our correct address, some retarded nigger drives to the wrong address knocks on their door and calls my GF to ask directions then starts complaining we gave him the wrong address when she tells him how people get it mixed up. I didn't hear the full conversation just her side, she's about to go outside and tell him to fuck himself or something. I tell her stay inside, I stand on the porch. This nigger who looked Somalian pulls up high as hell stinking of weed and we just exchange food. No conversation. He turns and walks about 3 steps back to his car and stops and asks me if I want to buy some weed from him. I just tell him to "get his shit together" and close the door.

I have an odd one for you in that it does not start with me ordering delivery.

This does not, however, stop delivery drivers from showing up on my doorstep: Despite living on a street that has not been renumbered in years, clearly living in a single-family home, and having the # outside of the house I still get Doordash and Ubereats that my neighbors ordered because Google Maps somehow decided that at least two, probably three different street addresses all correspond to my house.

How is this a problem you ask? Well apart from stealing food being wrong + my neighbors having poor taste, the delivery drivers who deliver to me by accident are the surliest fuckers you ever met. One of them got so aggressive when I told him he got the wrong address I almost called the cops.
