DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip::The app-based delivery service is alerting customers that drivers may not take their order in a timely manner if there is no tip included upfront.
The worst part is some lazy restaurants just link to doordash instead of paying proper delivery drivers so you can’t even avoid door dash if you like certain restaurants.
I mean in fairness before these services most restaurants did not have delivery options at all, so I don’t think this is that surprising? It was not long ago that your delivery options in many places were just pizza or Chinese.
Little Ceasers offers delivery and sends it through doordash here. Curious if that is because they don’t want to deal with it or it is somehow cheaper on their end.
Little Ceasers didn’t offer delivery before these apps either though.
Yeah but that’s the problem. They’re essentially outsourcing something they couldn’t afford in the first place so DD becomes the bad guy for not paying their employees instead. Then the customer bitches at the driver’s because the drivers don’t want shitty pay for their work. Stop using DD.
There are more than a handful of places near me that used to have decent delivery but Door Dash etc basically shut them out. They lose business by not being affiliated and not getting exposure, so they get on Door Dash and lose even more business to Door Dash, next thing you know they have no in-house delivery and all the prices on Door Dash are jacked up so they can give Door Dash their take.
I just don’t go to restaurants that do this or close their eatery to the public because they expect everyone to use DD, haha. Though I mostly just cook at home, restaurant food took a massive nosedive during the pandemic. More expensive, and generally tastes worse. :/
