The food delivery bubble is bursting — and maybe that's not a bad thing

jaemo , 1 month ago

I loathe the line-cutting self-important food delivery hustle bros with every fiber of my being and will never use their service. This is glad news.

I still find these apps useful/handy when I’m having a party, I’m over at someone’s place with a bunch of different people, or I have family visiting or whatever. It stretches longer than people expect, people get hungry, etc., and then we can decide on a place, and everyone can simultaneously scroll the menu and make their order, and it shows up labeled for each individual.

It’s indulgent af and expensive, but once in a while for that kind of ordering efficiency, I like it.

For me and my girl or whatever, it’s my fun to just take a little cruise around town, get some take out, and then drive it straight home while it’s actually still hot.

Last time I used Uber eats they scammed me out of $200

Uber eats is the worse as a customer. I wish they were the first to close shop but nope.

The restaurant didn’t have most of what I ordered and called me so I tried cancelling the order, and so did they but Uber basically said that they have a no refund policy so I don’t get my money back, even though I didn’t get anything for that money. I put a fraud charge or my card, and I’m waiting to see if I can get the money back that way.

Don’t… Use them?

Oh yep I’ll use the good competitor that they killed. It’s just going to cost me a couple trips in my DeLorean.

Or, you know, put regular gas in that DeLorean and go get the food yourself. Acting entitled to food delivery and also hating the food delivery service that’s able to stay in business is kinda silly.

Did you get the illusion that I came here asking for help to solve my problems? Just take the rant mate.
