It just annoys me because I’m not going to order it and I’m abstaining from alcohol. But there’s always some “special deals” being advertised by UberEats on alcohol, as well as meat, dairy and eggs. It’s like they’re really sleazy and desperate to hawk these products.

    That’s advertising.

    That’s targeted advertisement.

    It’s really not, mate. Do you think buy one get one free is advertising? Or we have an offer on alcohol today? Or 50% off all cheese?

    You don’t have a clue.

      Yes.

      Yes, all of those are advertising.

      Communicated offers to exchange goods are advertisements.

        Well feel free to waste money on a lawsuit as OP suggested because you’ll fail so hard it’ll be funny. Then the courts can tell you it isn’t covered by advertising laws and you’ll finally learn.

        I look forward to reading your court submission.

          The cost for them to defend themselves will exceed the cost for them to implement an ADA compliant solution.

            So feel free to start the challenge and let’s see the change. If you’re so confident then lawyer up, as they say. Force them to implement an ADA compliant solution if you think they’re in breach.

            Then post the judgement where the court throws it out 😂.

              The person you are replying to said nothing about the ADA. That was OP. I dunno why you’re bothering to argue with this person, you’re clearly out of your depth since it’s painfully obvious you don’t even know what advertising is.

                They literally said this:

                The cost for them to defend themselves will exceed the cost for them to implement an ADA compliant solution.

                I mean at some point I just have to give up. Twenty years in the industry is clearly not enough for internet warriors. 🤷

                  If you’ve been in advertising for twenty years and don’t know that running sales is a form of advertising, you must have been in middle management. My small company of fewer than twenty people:

                  • runs sales to drum up business from new and existing customers alike (which is also the entire point of advertising and we even talk about them internally as ads), and

                  • does not give a shit about customer feedback, we update on our own schedule according to what management believes is needed and this sometimes coincides with what customers ask for

                  I’ve worked for gigantic corporations as well as small shops, from cashier to systems administrator, on three continents, and not once have I seen a manager review customer feedback about anything but the call centre staff.

                    Well to be blunt you’ve worked for shit companies. Sorry.

                  Lol, you’ve spent 20yrs in this industry and don’t know what advertising is? Do you work as a receptionist for your company? And if you are an advertiser, you’re terrible at it if you think that was them proposing they use the ADA to enforce any sort of judgement. All they said that is that it would cost more to defend than to follow the ADA. They were referring to them rather than invoking them like you have done. You are terrible at parsing nuance from a comment - I apologise for trying to speak to you as someone with an equal intelligence to mine, my mistake…
