Doordash now has a tab to advertise other stores that you can accidentally swipe-up when trying to scroll down the menu

I left doordash when they started asking me if I wanted to return a package every time I wanted to eat. Fuck doordash. Just give me food. I don’t want to buy flowers from California.

UberEats sucks too because it will put restaurants 15 miles away in your restaurant list. No, dude, I’m not going to ask a driver to sit in traffic for an hour just to get a hamburger.

GrubHub is the last bastion of hope. 🙏

Skip the dishes is what I use. They might just be in Canada though.

They treat their drivers well too. I’ve worked for them for like 6 months now and have had zero complaints in the way they treat/pay me. They are more lenient on us as well. Understanding of mistakes as long as it isn’t a constant thing. They reward us after X amount of deliveries as well. (Monetary reward, not like a pin or some crap.)

Their order managing system is also wonderful and I can work for hours never having to wait on orders to come in. They keep you going and busy.

By comparison, I worked for Doordash for the same duration and now no longer do business with them for any reason. Neither as a customer or contractor.

NOTE: I am no shill. Just someone who is actually happy.

Thanks for sharing, that makes me feel better about my decision to use them over other apps. Glad you’re happy 😊

One weird thing they did recently though was they gave 3 free months of amazon prime. When you went over to accept the prime offer, it gave drivers 1 year of Grubhub’s premium service free. So I can order delivery free too. Was pretty neat.

Haha hell yeah, weird but no complaints I suppose

Man, Doordash has become just as bad for customers as it has for drivers. It really has become the mcdonalds of delivery services.

The product manager who led that team probably got a nice bonus for increasing engagement

At least it’s not yelp, where the first 2 pages of scrolling are unrelated sponsored business or reviews for unrelated business

Do people even use yelp anymore? I legitimately haven’t seen a yelp review in years, and even if I did, it would be meaningless.
