So to preface, I only really use doordash when I’m sick and I want to get food without spreading whatever I have. So I don’t open the app much. I just noticed that dominos is on the doordash app in my area. Why in the world would anyone ever doordash a dominos pizza when they already do delivery anyways? That just seems like a great way to burn a bunch of extra money for a worse service.

    Yep. 9 times out of 10 Uber will refund me basically instantly, and I don’t have to talk to anyone. I’m able to put in complex delivery instructions, put a pin on a map where it needs to be delivered, and even provide photos of where I want my stuff dropped off. I don’t get that elsewhere, and nobody seems to be able to find my apartment without any of it.

      jesus, what kind of service are you guys running where you live? if i had a customer demanding refunds so frequently they can make a 9 out of 10 statistic, they would already be on a blacklist…

        If I used a service that messed up my orders frequently enough to make such a statistic, I’d stop using that service.

            The driver could check that all of the stuff is there before bringing it to you. At the end of the day why should I care more about how the mistake happens than that it happens?

              I get what you’re saying, but usually the bag is sealed from the restaurant with a sticker. The driver is not able to check the items.

                Yeah, I see what you’re saying as well. I’m coming from the perspective of having worked at a chain pizza place for 6 years in the past and seeing drivers double check orders before leaving and sometimes having to drive back to deliver something they missed. I feel like that should be a reasonable expectation for Doordash drivers, but then the bag is sealed, presumably to keep the driver from messing with/eating the food, which also seems like a negative to me. If they can’t be trusted not to eat my food, how can I trust them to deliver it?

        Keep in mind this includes refunds for small, individual items in the order (like a sauce packet or missing drink). It’s nice to get a few bucks back if something was forgotten. I’ve only fully refunded my order like once.
