Had the weirdest DoorDash delivery yesterday

[djefferis]

Weirdest experience with food delivery ever last night.

So starts with wife ordering Wendy’s - we just got home after going to the box box hardware place on a Saturday (my idea of hell with all the stupid people standing around ogling paint colors and outdoor stuff). We were tired and just easier to order than go pick it up.

So place the order and 3 minutes later get a call from DoorDash on caller ID - pick up and the persons telling me Wendy’s doesn’t have beef for wife’s Baconator - asking if I want anything else ? First I’m thinking how in the hell do you run out of HAMBURGER at a Wendy’s ?!? Then I ask her what she wants - just says get what you got (chicken wrap) so I tell them. Says ok - hold on and proceeds to connect me with the driver.

Driver gets on the phone and I tell them what to substitute it with - and he proceeds to critique my choice and make suggestions - urging me to try the fish !! I’m just like no thanks / not a fish fan and good with my pick - instead of letting it go - he continues with a damn food review of the fish and the entire menu !!!

I’m like WTF has Bobby started here - now these god damn food delivery drivers think they are auditioning for Bon Appetite or something offering food reviews. Just weird as hell - your JOB is to deliver the food - not make recommendations. I miss the days when you ordered delivery - some 19 year old pimple faced kid in a beat to hell old car brought it to you and the transaction was simple. Now you got grown ass men delivering and offering commentary on your order. Think it’s time to stop doing delivery between this experience and the wonderful people at WalMart+ who can’t seem to get the right order to the right recipient.

Poor management

I don’t get it - it’s not something proprietary to the place - it’s freaking hamburger and ketchup !

You run out - you go to the nearest grocery store and buy more.

Eggs I might get - but there’s no ground beef shortage.

And they still had chili - so how can you not have beef for a baconator ? Was going to ask for a Dave’s Double just to see how bright they were - but decided it wasn’t worth dealing with the inevitable stupidity.

Weird, but I don’t think a Baconator and fries would travel well - it’s like when I see someone DoorDashing the Frappuccino milkshake with whipped cream on top of it at Starbucks. It’s sitting on the counter still waiting to be picked up even after I wait in line, place my order and get my coffee. No way is that going to be any good by the time they get it…..

Yea - some stuff just doesn’t do well.

A lot depends on distance and if the driver is doubling/triple delivering.

We are “fortunate” to live in a relatively small college town - everything close and minimal traffic/plenty of people trying to make a few bucks dashing.

It’s weird though - town is FULL of people delivering DoorDash for a couple of bucks - but last week I needed an Uber to pick up my truck from the shop as wife worked until 5 and shop closed at 5. Ordered one and NO ONE ubering at all. I get it’s a small city - but still a city. Amazing no one wants to uber - but food delivery we have like 8 different services with DoorDash/UberEats/GrubHub/Walmart+/- local food delivery service/Instacart…

I swear 3 out of 4 vehicles on the road are doing app gigs and my cousin is a regional manager at one of the big supermarkets here and says app workers account for 71% of their business which to me sounds unbeleivably high

 

[Pimike]

Haha

well was the food hot and good when you finally got it?

You should had set the driver up to post here and challenge Bobby in the delivery food review channel for BMR

lol

 

[djefferis]

It was actually good.

I actually should see if I can get him on here.

Foodie face off vs Bobby. Got to do something to boost viewership as things slow down sports wise.

That would be classic

What I started

That is kind of weird though. It's not his job to judge whatever you order just deliver the stuff

Exactly

That’s why we need him here. Bring some spice to the review thread

 

[Tanko]

Did you tip him Djeff and leave a comment?

 

[djefferis]

Tipped $4 - nice guy - just odd.

No comment - I will go on though and leave a comment asking him to sign up for BMR

I hear all those Drivers are really weird. Right Bobby?

Since their running this promo for March Madness could be the reason of beef shortage.

I went to Jersey Mike's one day and they said they ran out of buns. Buns? That's your main food item. How do you run out of buns???

 

[djefferis]

Again - nothings shocking when you put a person with an IQ of 64 in charge making $8.65 an hour.

Still - just an alarming reminder that someone out there thinks that these people are “smart” enough to vote and hold public office - when they can’t even manage an inventory of basic stock or tie their own damn shoes.
