Joe Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 40 minutes ago, Rachel said: Ordering through apps doesn’t prevent your order being wrong. My order is wrong around 50% of the time with apps which is also probably comparable to going in person, but I haven’t exactly done a scientific study on it. What if all this time takeout places have been pranking him by giving him spicy sauces each time he asked for mild? Honestly it seems more plausible than someone thinking mild salsa is spicy.

Different people have different spice tolerances. This is fascinating. Even when I had 0 tolerance for spiciness, mild salsa has never had any detectable levels of spice to me.

I was told by various restaurants if I can call in the order instead of door dash. That's why I only use door dash if there's no other option.

That's great, but not every restaurant will do this or respond truthfully when asked. But asking is better than nothing for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkableriots Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 The only time I can recall where they made a mistake on a delivery was when the order got mixed up with someone else's. They delivered the right pizza fast and let us keep the wrong pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSpreader Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 4 hours ago, TheLeon said: It seems to vary by place and app. Looking at the places I order from most often, some are the same, some are inflated by 20% or more on DD, some are in the middle. Major chains probably are closer. I suspect things like sushi are more marked up. The worst part though imo is that if you tip and pick up, the whole tip doesn't go to the restaurant. When I have to order DD, I always pick up and leave the tip in cash (which makes restaurants really excited and happy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysDyingX Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 2 hours ago, Rachel said: I would but I don’t give a shit about the restaurant’s feelings 🤷♀️ Seriously, this. I could imagine though some people here have nothing better to do and this is what they spend their free time thinking about. Sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I verified with many different people today who all agree that anyone that can detect any level of spice whatsoever in mild Tostitos salsa should have their taste buds revoked.

Xbob42 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The predatory pricing is between the restaurant and the delivery service. That ain't none of my goddamn business. Restaurants have been happy to have predatory tipping "wages" for decades. Sucks, but no one does shit about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
