    “that’s a lot of choices”

    Stfu and pick one. You sitting there having a casual conversation on your couch. Meanwhile the driver just standing there in the milk aisle staring at their phone for 5 minutes while you want to know all the options and hem and haw.

    Life pro tip: If you are vegan and lactose intolerant get oat milk. Out of all the alternatives that one tastes the closest to the real thing by a country mile.

    Imagine your job being to shop for richer people and have to write them because of something like that. What a time to be alive.

          It’s the same problem as all the other ride share companies. They don’t pay their drivers enough and they massively over charge customers. Drivers get no benefits and have to use their own cars while DoorDash makes a fortune. It’s disgusting greed and it doesn’t help restaurants either

            Over charge how?

            I know a few things could be pennies more expensive on the items in store. They often lack deals found on Native apps.

            it’s usually cheaper to buy on doordash here than from the restaurants own app. I did get 3 years free DoorDash plus or what ever from Amazon Prime though, I likely won’t renew the subscription.

            The only rip off is suggesting a 5 dollar tip on a 20 dollar order. Always tip $0.

                  They do that elsewhere as well.

                  The problem is that apps like Doordash also increase the price of each item individually. So if you order from the restaurant itself, the sandwich might be $10 and fries might be $3. But if you order from Doordash, the sandwich will be $12 and the fries will be $4, then they have delivery fees, AND have all of these other extra mystery fees and then paying the delivery driver on top of that.

                No.

                The prices for Pizza Delight are the same on thier app and on Door Dash.

                Pizza Delight has a 7.99 delivery fee here.

                Door Dash has no delivery fee but a Service charge of 2.5%.

                Door dash is the clear winner.

                The only place I seen with larger mark ups on in store items is Loblaws. That’s what the frequent 50% and 25% coupons are for though.

          DoorDash were listing restaurants without their permission on the app. So a bunch of restaurants would either get orders they couldn’t fulfill, or DoorDash would just tell customers not to order there because they were unavailable, despite not being given permission to list them in the first place.

          DoorDash is a brutally scummy company. Genuinely one of the worst service economy companies going around.

            I think Uber that exploits their workers about the same, while also racing to get autonomous driving available no matter how many accidents happen to be quite a bit scummier.

      Not everyone busy it as a milk substitute. I buy it because it tastes nice, and don’t bother with alternatives.

        Yup, I keep a carton of oatmilk in the fridge for coffee (and occasionally to drink on its own, but it’s full fat so it’s rather caloric), and a carton of good ol’ cows milk as well. I don’t need it as a milk substitute, I just like it!

    I just thought up a great business model and it’s five times as exploitive as doordash plus we could roll it out for Christmas. By the time the novelty has worn off we should all (and by we, I mean everyone who isn’t working for or using the app) be rich. Who wants to help me build doordance?

      Eh. Oat milk is really popular for some reason. It could very likely be the only other milk they know. If someone was drinking rice or soy milk though then yeah I don’t know how they wouldn’t be familiar.

      Soy milk is the only non-dairy milk I’ve tried that comes close. It’s not 1:1 but it’s good enough to be used with cereal and not be super weird at least. And the vanilla flavored one isn’t bad as just a drink.

        This is interesting to me. I attracted a number of downvotes too when I said I like soy milk. Maybe this is one of those things like pineapple on pizza that’s very polarizing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          There are a strange group of people who look down on others for eating soy because they think it contains enough estrogen to make you trans or something.

              There are a number of federated instances that have no join requirements. People can just join them without an admin approval. So they join and lurk for a few weeks downvoting things they don’t like and then they go on a spam spree posting racist or violent content, before swiftly being banned.

            Soy has always been my favorite. I mostly drink plant milks on cereal, and I feel like it works better flavor-wise and has the creamiest texture, but ultimately different people have different tastes.

            I’ve never tried a variety that tasted bad at all – oat, flax, cashew, rice, hemp, whatever – they all taste good to me.
