Containing a single dirty chai. This house is no joke in between two cafes - 50m to one and 20m to the other.

We are doomed.

Maybe that person is disabled and not really able to walk to the cafe easily, or they have to take care of someone who needs 24/7 care and they can't just pop down to the cafe down the street, maybe it's someone having a severe mental episode and they don't want to go out in public like that (I've had at least one ubereats delivery like that before).

Could also just be some lazy shithead with more money than sense, but we shouldn't assume we know everything about a person and judge them based solely on one little thing like this.

I don't use these apps because I saw prices go for nearly double or more for most things. I have no idea how they're even popular. Like a $$tarbukkk$$ coffee goes from $6 to $14 with additional charges for whatever the fuck. You could buy an entire fucking day's worth of food instead.

I just used one of them for groceries today as my road is under two inches of ice still, so I ordered it to the end of the road after my road and hiked over the damn glacier (real sketchy). But my $40 worth of groceries cost me $75, how the fuck do people do this often? Left me reeling

add to the fact that you're letting some random contractor stranger bring your food. like ive ordered pizza delivery(not for years but thats the only restaurant run delivery in my area), but that person works for the pizza place at least. Why the fuck would i trust someone to not drink my stuff or steal some food with their filthy? plus it will show up cold cause its unlikely they are using an insulated bag to keep it hot.

My former coworker would regularly doordash a single Gatorade to work. We had work provided Gatorade but it was only lemon-lime or whatever the red flavor is. Coworker could only drink blue. And he'd also always be in the bathroom taking a shit when the courier arrived so I'd have to pick up his Gatorade since our work site is down a confusing road and visitors often don't know what building is which since they're poorly labeled.

I confronted him about this and asked why he didn't simply purchase blue Gatorade to put in the fridge. He said someone might steal it.

Just keep powdered blue Gatorade in your prison wallet so you can shart out Gatorade whenever you want

I’m like 90% sure this is OSHA compliant, definitely far more than having a random DoorDash driver on the worksite

He said someone might steal it.

yeah i mean you can't trust the work fridge.

he could use a cooler and some ice packs and that shit would pay for itself on the second day

[-] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago

for how much he paid for several gatorades he could have probably bought like 12. are 9 out of 12 gatorades going to get stolen?

[-] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 5 points 6 days ago

whatever the red flavor is

Nah you got it, it's red flavour

Somebody once tried to uber a single coffee from the cafe I work at to the queue for a concert at the stadium few blocks away.

Treatlerite nonsense. Granted I'm forced to do door dash groceries since I don't have a car and my dad is unhelpful about rides to the store. But I always make sure to tip well, make it at least 5-6 items, and I meet them outside so they don't get lost or need to leave their car. On the rare occasion I get take out I tip even more for the driver's trouble.

Whenever a courier arrived for it I made damn sure they understood what they were getting themselves into. It took literally hours for one to be desperate enough to take it.

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago

that's funny as fuck. the venue should have one of those guys like they have at football games walking the queue selling warm beer and cold hot dogs.

[-] Strayce@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I'm not in the ’states, that isn't really a thing here AFAIK. I suspect street food regulations and/or venue policy make it not viable for one reason or another.

There's some FB drama of Doordash workers leaving orders right in front of front doors in the town I live, reason being the houses are like 100 yrs old, so a lot of people come out the more modern back/side door closer to their garages. Well, not the case for the people ordering, so they swing open their door, litany of swears, they go back inside while wildlife descends upon their food, come back even more upset a possum ran off with their burrito and there's a swarm of birds eating their fries, repeat multiple times a day. Me when I hear it echoing down the road: glee

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago

i wouldn't even steal that to drink, i'd fucking throw it at their front door

sort yourself out jesus christ
