Can I get UberEats to stop recommending to "bundle" alcohol from a liquor store to your order? (lemmy.world)

It just annoys me because I'm not going to order it and I'm abstaining from alcohol. But there's always some "special deals" being advertised by UberEats on alcohol, as well as meat, dairy and eggs. It's like they're really sleazy and desperate to hawk these products.

Just wait until they get caught targeting people in recovery for these liquor ads at the optimal time for them to cave and make an order. You know that shit's going to be a scandal sometime in the next few years.

    My buddy's dad is an alcoholic with a ton of health issues. He had a stroke a while back and had to quit drinking as a result. He can't drive anymore or even really leave the house. Well, his wife recently passed away, and someone showed him door dash and Uber eats was a thing to help him get food delivered. He saw they had alcohol on it, and now he regularly gets beer delivered. Like, the guy's old AF n lost his wife, so who am I to judge him wanting to get liquored up, but he probably wouldn't be drinking right now if this all happened 10 years ago.
