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.
