Doordash is for lazy fatasses.

I prefer to call/use the app and drive and pickup. Good excuse to go out and have a conversation with the wife as i drive.

---

Idiotic. It allows us to send dinner to my 95 yr old mother who can't go retrieve it herself. There are tons of folks that need a little help…and they're not fatasses.

---

20 percent of the usage; the other 80% is the laziness.

---

I thought this was America, if I want to be lazy, by god I'll be lazy.

If it wasn't on camera they would have eaten it and nothing would have happened. Screw them

I worked in a restaurant at 18. This isn't new nor limited to food delivery.

---

I spit in a woman's salad just because I was hung over and she was being a Karen.

Had a co-worker in the same restaurant serve a man and Arnold Palmer with urine instead of lemonade because the dude stiffed him on a tip on his prior visit.

Hint: restaurant in College Station. there weren't many options for seafood and steaks in CS back in the early 1990s.....


Food service folks can be buttholes. Be nice.

I door dash all the time. Dash pass through chase. Used Dd last night to have food delivered while I got Christmas decorations down from the attic and put the tree up.

I taught school for 30 or so years in my small East Texas town. Unfortunately you don't do that without inevitably pissing of some of the students and/or their parents. I see ex-students working at restaurants around town including the one I frequent 2-3 times per week. I have no clue about the amount of phlegm and spittle I have consumed since 1990 but I bet it's significant.

America today: pay someone to cook your food, and pay someone else to bring it to you.

Pizza delivery has been a thing for decades.

Didn't dominoes have the 30 minuets or its free guarantee. How many college kids back in the day got free pizza.

Live in the boonies. No doordash. No delivery from any food place.

If memory serves there were some car wrecks with their drivers. They got sued and stopped it.

Questions for those that say never door dash or uber eats…

What should I do when I travel (which I do weekly) and I get to my hotel after the hotel restaurant has shut down and I've had nothing to eat all day? Eat a protein bar and call it a night?

Should I also pick up my pizza when I order it for family movie night at home?

I have ZERO problem being efficient with my time and paying someone to deliver my food. If it saves me 30 mins of my time (getting in my car, driving to a restaurant, waiting on my order, driving home) then I'll gladly fork over $20 in tip / delivery fee.

I've probably ordered from Uber Eats 150+ times in the last 5 years. 95% of the time my food is in a sealed container/ bag and my food is hot and yummy. But I also pay for priority delivery (and extra $3). The few issues I've had I simply report the problem and get my money back.

Nice job bringing up the .01% scenario as if it's relevant.

And if I order a pizza for delivery - it's from the actual store. Not a third party.

And since you're travelling for work, I'm assuming those expenses are all reimbursable? Again not relevant dude and you know that.

Waiting is a borderline documentary of the restaurant industry. I worked at a highend steak house in High School and during summer freshman year. The things we did/did not do and the games we played.

Hard work but a lot of fun too.

---

Never worked in the food industry, I can imagine the so called "shenanigans" that went on. Probably the same s*** I got into working at the airport. Rude passages traveling oversees always seem to have something go wrong with their luggage. It was the strangest thing.

---

Waiting tables is a great college job. It also has its own culture.

Crazy **** in the kitchen is part and parcel to the industry. I once walked into the kitchen of the Mexican restaurant I was working to find one of the Hispanic girls in the back stirring a vat of refried beans with her arm all the way up to her armpit. I did the Homer Simpson fade back into the shrubs gif.

In high school, I worked at TCBY and while working the front one night, my two co-workers got into a fist fight in the back. You could hear kitchenware and all kinds of other stuff getting thrown around, crashes, grunting, bodies getting thrown around....all the while Im standing out front by myself just smiling to the customers at the counter.

Good times.

I traveled all of the time for several years as a Regional Mgr of 24 states.

Never once door dashed. At worst, I lazied it up and went through a drive-thru, but usually cooked something either in a microwave or on the stove, as I usually was in a "suite" kind of place. Bought food for the fridge, etc.

NEW: Florida family is demanding changes from DoorDash after a driver dropped a wing on the ground, picked it up, put it back in the container, licked his fingers, wiped the floor with his shoe and walked off

The family said they luckily watched the video before eating

---

What changes could DoorDash possibly make? Policy for drivers to look for Ring cameras if they drop food?

Family was lucky they watched the video only because they are going to get free stuff. The chicken wing wasn't going to hurt them.

Forget laziness. The food has to be ice cold by the time it gets there.

I delivered pizzas in HS and for a while in college. When we got busy, we were pushing 30-35 minutes STORE (not necessarily oven) to door. Oven could have been 5-15 more minutes depending on various things -- number of drivers, who was out on what run, etc. Pizza bags helped, but the moisture from the heat affected the boxes for sure and no doubt the food.

When I get takeout, or even go in places, I often see food sitting on shelves waiting for DD or UE. Who knows how long it has been there (likely far longer than the 5-15 minutes we took above, and we kept our pizzas on top of ovens for extra warmth). I'm guessing the typical order takes no less than 45 minutes oven to door and as much as an hour and a half.

That is a huge negatory in my book. And that isn't even speaking to hunger. (I'm also picky in what I want/don't want on my order, but I won't get into that).

You've never had a pizza delivered?

To be honest, just get a freaking pizza from the grocery store as an emergency for when you need it.

So much cheaper and just as good.

Also, pizza used to be the only real delivery option you could do I feel like and it was rare.

Now people door dash everything. I used to be terrible about it but I admit it was a phase.

Chinese delivery in most major cities was a big "thing" for a very long time. Rural Texas, yeah it was just pizza...and half the time you had to meet them up at the big road to get it anyway.

Science Denier said:

My mind brings me back to a few min ago when I was posting about lazy American workers.

There is an industry that is built on people so lazy they can't drive 10 min to pick up food.

No wonder the Chinese are going to kick our ass.

---

Funny that you think China doesn't have food delivery.

Only time I've ever used DoorDash is to send friends/family a surprise birthday meal at home or work. Other than that I see it as a giant waste of money.

.1%??? I also order at home when I don't feel like driving to get the food and would rather hang out with my family. Mostly I use it when I'm out of town for work but also use uber eats perhaps 8-9 x a year at home with the family when its convenient- once again, 95% of the time I have zero issues and have warm food delivered. But I pay for priority delivery

On the road for work I get a set per diem per day.I keep that money regardless if I spend $0 or $100 a day in food. So it would be wise for me to limit my spending. But as I mentioned, often times I arrive at a hotel after traveling all day and the hotel restaurant has shut down for the night or it's the same boring menu that I've seen 100 times and I'm craving something else. So I pick up my phone and order via uber eats. In fact I ordered Chinese food last nighty when I got to my hotel and enjoyed a decent meal thanks to Uber Eats.

I get it. The fees can be high and the tip adds to the cost - especially for 1 person. You are paying for convenience. And you should not have to worry about your food being mishandled or contaminated by the delivery driver. Have I had a few minor issues - absolutely. But it was either cold food or missing items. I'm willing to bet I've had over 150 orders and I've never once felt my food has been tampered with. Maybe I'm lucky. Or maybe I don't inspect it carefully enough. Or….. it's really not as bad as some think and it is videos on the internet just highlight the true .1%

First world problem.

A bit harsh but I hardly ever use it. Crazy expensive to do so. I've typically done it more as a gift when there's a baby born or someone's sick. Nice to be able to have food delivered in circumstances like that.

Doortrash.

I gave a DoorDash gift card to my sister and BIL for Christmas a couple of years ago. He's wheelchair bound and she has some days where she can walk with a cane and others where she's also wheelchair bound. It seemed like a nice way to help them on the on those days when just getting to the car sucks. Never used it myself. Not sure how it's conceptually different than ordering pizza delivery which we've all done eleventy billion times. I got out of that habit when we lived in the country and nobody delivered but before then I did it whenever we got pizza. Other than the cost why is this a bad thing?

The same poor, gross slobs are at the restaurant making the food in the first place.

Unless you're cooking it yourself - you really don't want to know

---

Now... in fairness, I was in Kroger last week.

The produce guy sneezed, wiped his nose with his hand, and went back to stacking produce.

ETA... I heard the speaker phone call to the guy at Lowe's who was sitting on the pot. He said, "I'll be right there." Flushed ... no hand wash.

Let me guess.... your grow and harvest everything you cook too, amiright?

Never Door Dashed and never will. I'm never going to accept paying $35 for a $15 bite to eat. Then, the cherry on top, having absolute nasty, unkempt, white trash to bring it to me. I almost feel like they should be paying me for this roll of the dice.

yum!!!

just another reason I have never ordered food delivery!

how many dummies on SNAP claim poverty -


but also have ordered from Doordash?!

I would be at least 50%

Can definitely tell you don't door dash because most of these guys are illegals from Central America or the Middle East. Easily 3 out of 4 dashers that deliver my pizza are not white. Or American.
