"fast" food? ha! try standing in line while a bunch of dickhead doordashers get to cut you in line. try walking into an empty establishment only to wait 20 minutes for a sandwich because of all the idiots that want to pay twice the price for a fucking meal.
That sounds like a real outlier. Never had anything like that happen on a pickup order.
Um, no, that's the restaurant who flagged your order for delivery. Not the drivers fault.
It’s usually not that messed up, but yes, some restaurants do delivery through DoorDash/Uber. I’ve had that happen at multiple places: get excited that a restaurant offers delivery but then cancel when I find out it’s uber eats.
I would have made them remake it, since they let someone run off with my food.
please tell me you got a refund and ate elsewhere
sounds like you might be more of the google review type...
i assumed it was a bigger chain-type restaurant. the owner would probably actually appreciate a kind call to let them know what happened.
edit - like, a call where you say something like 'sorry, i'm not calling to complain, but something weird happened the other day that might bother some of your other customers if it happened to them'
sounds like they're just trying to figure out how to slot all the uber-important orders into their workflow.
Sounds fun. Maybe I'm missing something but I wouldn't expect a local restaurant to have rolled their own takeout backend. Are you actually seeing places that do? The branding might be subtle, but I'd be really surprised if they weren't using a canned service.
Like a plague on places to eat these days. The drive in getting served over people in the restaurant was always bad but now it is a new sort of hell with the lobby filled up with dashers and the like all butting in front and such.
Real sad part is talking to a few of the non chain places, it seems like you don't really get a say about if you want to use ubereats/doordash/skip etc. they just kinda list your place and then drivers start showing up and unless you want to fight each one it becomes easier to just go along with it. Only place I know of that made a fight out of it was a pizza place (with their own delivery drivers), it was a mess. They even had a large sign on the way in that they will at no time give an order to any delivery app service. But it was was like they could not read and just plowed in anyway, butting in line and doing the yell the order number thing out they do. Last I checked they started trespassing people and are trying to sue skip/doordash/uber.
