    Imagine your job being to shop for richer people and have to write them because of something like that. What a time to be alive.

          It’s the same problem as all the other ride share companies. They don’t pay their drivers enough and they massively over charge customers. Drivers get no benefits and have to use their own cars while DoorDash makes a fortune. It’s disgusting greed and it doesn’t help restaurants either

            Over charge how?

            I know a few things could be pennies more expensive on the items in store. They often lack deals found on Native apps.

            it’s usually cheaper to buy on doordash here than from the restaurants own app. I did get 3 years free DoorDash plus or what ever from Amazon Prime though, I likely won’t renew the subscription.

            The only rip off is suggesting a 5 dollar tip on a 20 dollar order. Always tip $0.

              What the hell kind of bizarre place do you live in?

                  They do that elsewhere as well.

                  The problem is that apps like Doordash also increase the price of each item individually. So if you order from the restaurant itself, the sandwich might be $10 and fries might be $3. But if you order from Doordash, the sandwich will be $12 and the fries will be $4, then they have delivery fees, AND have all of these other extra mystery fees and then paying the delivery driver on top of that.

                    Door Dash here has free deliver over 15 bucks at all places but one. The service fee isn’t mystery. It’s 2.5%.

                    Like I said above. Only one local near me have different prices on Door Dash and in store. FYI the restaurants/stores set those prices.

          DoorDash were listing restaurants without their permission on the app. So a bunch of restaurants would either get orders they couldn’t fulfill, or DoorDash would just tell customers not to order there because they were unavailable, despite not being given permission to list them in the first place.

          DoorDash is a brutally scummy company. Genuinely one of the worst service economy companies going around.

            I think Uber that exploits their workers about the same, while also racing to get autonomous driving available no matter how many accidents happen to be quite a bit scummier.
