Guess they also encourage their customers to Kennedy Jr their food off the road, too.

The vast majority of their customers are using it for convenience, not out of need.
Paying $45 to have $20 worth of shitty McDonald's "food" delivered seems stupid to me, but some people have money to burn, I guess.
I work at a nursing home and all the residents order from DD. The food there is bland as hell.
Does McDonalds not deliver themselves in the US?
Edit: Nvm just googled it and found out the McDonalds branded cars here are just run by local delivery services
We don’t even have branded cars.
It's so weird. I had my work card skimmed somehow and they only used it to buy $80 worth of McDonalds in two orders and all I could think was what a waste of an opportunity. You could have got anything and you instead bought shitty food that was no doubt delivered cold.

In the middle of Covid, this happened
Which when I went to the door, I found this on the mat exactly as it looks here, except I moved it to the sink because it was making a mess.
I never found out which of my neighbours missed their order, because it wasn’t any service I’d ever use, even if ordering a completely non-essential item like this was a waste of resources.
But fuck that guy who ‘delivered’ it by obviously dropping it before in his car and then throwing it on my doorstep!!
Call the bank
cancel the transaction
delete your account
Lawyer up and hit the gym
Lose weight and eat vegetables.
This is one of the most depressing aspects of life. All of these services we pay no longer care at all about us - we have no options. They give us AI support only, poorly functioning apps where you can't even find how to complain or make a ticket.
I don't know how it gets fixed. Soon we will all work for them.
I don't know how it gets fixed.
Stop using them.
I never understood how they are so popular. You are paying double the amount and it's poor service and food tastes worse
The fact that you have a stranger go and pick up your food is what makes it unthinkable to me. (Although if disabled or injured then I understand)
I share your perspective and reading these comments made me realize we have different paths of lease resistance.
For some who have gotten used to them, it’s easier to put up with the enshitification than not using them, for others, the path of least resistance is to not use them in the first place.
Because if your car has broken down, or you're exhausted from a long day of work and your family is hungry, or you're too drunk to safely drive but still want food, or if you straight up don't have a car and don't want to cook that night, or you are on vacation at a hotel or airbnb and don't have other access to food, or you have a baby that you can't just leave alone for a few minutes to go pick the food up, or you are in the middle of a study session and it would be more convenient to have the food come to you rather than going to get it.
Looks like there's lots of reasons people might take advantage of the service that can deliver food to them, and it's not unreasonable for them to expect that service to not completely fuck it up.
This is why living in a city is awesome. Just walk 6 blocks and get a bite to eat.
Did you read a fucking word they said? About being exhausted, or having to look after kids, or having housework to do... You're still gonna find time for 45+ minutes to walk 6 blocks, wait in line, pay, and walk back and still have all the shit you need to do and still eat before it gets cold?
Christ sake... "Just walk 6 blocks". Tell a single mom that.
Those are all valid individual reasons to get food delivered to you. That's not what makes DoorDash "popular" tho.
Yeah, tbh I’ve only seen “I don’t feel like driving, let’s DoorDash” in personal experience.
My main income has been from driving for grubhub for a couple of years now thanks to some physical issues. Anyway, most of the people I deliver to are disabled, elderly, or both. I would feel like shit if I pulled the fuckery presented in the OP.
Yeah seriously
I started doing Doordash recently to try and get on top of my finances and I'd feel awful about the stuff here
And to be honest
They're fucking everyone over, the Dashers make basically minimum wage if that, Doordash marks up all the items on the menus, and adds a bunch of bullshit fees.
The only money reliably making it from the customers to the dashers are the tips, and only because they're required to by law.
But for my case, it's something flexible and relatively low-effort that I can do when I'm not working my day job

Because I’m already high and forgot I don’t have any food in the house.

This is the correct answer. Those companies that don’t fix their shit will perish.

It gets fixed by no longer using them. Money is all a corporation understands.
If they make more $ cutting support costs and pissing off some customers than to have support staff and higher costs and more customers, then they will do it.
Infinite growth, my friend. All that matters to most if them.

It's funny in the first place to argue from what "they allow". The customer doesn't have to care about your internal policies, fucko. Fulfill your end of the bargain.
Food all over the road is certainly a custom delivery experience...
Fabulous spread!
Surprise picnic! So romantic 💖
Ah, the Paperboy delivery experience.
