I say "I'm going to Tony the food." Tony is a friend who I pay to pick up food for me when I'm too lazy. He's the real MVP in my life.

As a full time postmates driver, THANKYOU. They treat us like dirt and hardly anyone speaks up

i'm a restaurant owner and discovered that doordash wasn't depositing us the proper amount (outright omitting orders from our payout). watch out yall

As a DoorDash Driver, I think I can officially testify that I hate my life

[borginburkes]

DoorDash be like:
Meal price: $6.50
Delivery Fee: $1.50
Total: $24.95

My mom says to “Uber the grubhub” all the time, with full confidence she’s saying something that makes sense

[carmaljohnson]

when he said " treating yourself" is one of the simple joys of being an adult::: spending more than you have to and pretending it doesn't bother you" I felt that deep within lol

As someone who worked at a family restaurant that NO LONGER USES doordash, it was awful. We ended up closing door dash orders super early because they kept showing up after we closed our kitchen despite that. I, as the person who managed the 35-item order and stacked it perfectly into four large bags and directly handed it to the driver, got 0 tips from all of my effort and they charged the restaurant a huge commission. And don’t even start me on the drivers who’d take the wrong person’s order if I didn’t directly hand it to them or take only one of the bags and then I’d be the one with the angry phone call. The doordash bell sound still haunts me to this day and I will never work for a restaurant that uses doordash again. It sucked.

As a business owner Postmates is the worst. Postmates has added our business to their app and will not delete it since their whole thing is delivery for anything and everything. Well that's cool and all but our business information and menu is incorrect and if we want to have control over the information we have to partner with them and that includes us paying money we don't want to pay. We would rather just not be on their app and avoid all the problems since we have started getting calls complaining to us about orders that they placed on postmates that we don't even have on our system. Overall dealing with them has been a headache for the last couple of years.

Almost everyone I work with thinks I'm just "being a cheap ass" for not using these delivery services...

Nah I just don't wanna pay $18 for a damn $6 meal.

I work at an ice cream shop that does doordash. The number of people who order ice cream sundaes to go makes me lose my faith in humanity.

An italian restaurant near me literally gifts you a bottle of wine on every order you come to pick up, thats how shitty the delivery business is

[sas.tronaut]

Also, does anyone else find it kind of insulting for Doordash to say they're "America's kitchen" when they don't do literally any of the work??

[emmaevans]

Grub hub took our menu without permission, so people order things that don’t exist through them and then customers get mad at us when we explain. It’s messed up

[getschwifty]

A friend of mine was lamenting to me that her & her bf couldn't afford to move out of her parents house. I got a whiteboard & we started going thru their finances. They admitted they got door dash or postmates like twice a week. They got doordash while I was there from a wing place less than 3miles away & they both got cars!! I couldn't believe it. It was a huge talking point in that they could afford to save up if they gave up these delivery apps. like Drew said they already upcharge before you get to delivery fees, service fees & tipping the drivers. Even back in 2020 I hated these apps and I had to be drunk af & really wanting chips & salsa before I would use them lol. They always made me so mad how much they Nickle & dime drivers, restaurants, & customers

Hi, Uber eats driver here! Definitely tip in cash if you can, it makes our day since it’s tax free and we know that Uber won’t get to secretly keep any of that money! Also, if your food arrives to your door later than you expected, it’s likely because the restaurant was very busy and took a long time to prepare it. We don’t get paid for the extra time waiting at the restaurant, so please be patient and don’t take out your anger on your courier 😊

The fact that this wasn’t sponsored by HelloFresh feels like a missed opportunity

I work at a bagel shop that does delivery with DoorDash. There are many reasons why I hate having to make food for DD. First: people seem to order the most ridiculous things which makes them time-consuming to make, which is infuriating most of the time because now that’s one less person making food for the people in line. Second: DD doesn’t know when we’re out of certain items, making it frustrating when someone orders something that we’re out of. Third: the drivers get really impatient when the food isn’t done by the time they arrive to pick it up. Like sorry man, there’s a big ass line of people wanting to order, we simply just didn’t have the time/personnel to put your order together. It also doesn’t help that the drivers usually arrive mere minutes after we receive the info for the order.
