3 /5 Jennifer Baker: Pretty sure last time I got delivery, a few months ago, they had their own drivers. I ordered through the website like last time. A store employee would have been paid min wage+ mileage, but instead... After I ordered I started getting texts from DOORDASH, the worst and most predatory of the delivery companies.
DD guy went right to the restaurant and had to wait 40 min. He seemed terrified of my reaction, repeatedly texted apologies. When I got the food (in a knotted bag, 95% sure it was restaurants fault, plus why would driver just steal ranch and marinara?) it was missing all the extra sauce I paid extra for, plus calzones were missing toppings, no icing for dessert..
Plus while waiting I got an updated receipt which said DPD was keeping half of my $8 tip. That tip is for the person driving their own vehicle thru bad neighborhoods, bad weather..not for the cook making a full wage inside, and as it turned out couldnt even get the order right..theyre entitled to half my tip? Or worse, the owners?
I hate DD but dont hold it against the drivers, they must be truly desperate to work for that horrible company for slave wages. DD only pays them like $2 a job, so that dude was only getting 6 bucks to deliver food at 2am? Gross.
I waited outside and gave the driver an additional $5 in cash, cause thats what I had.
Shame on you DPD, if youre going to use slaves to deliver your food, and then steal half of their meager pay, say so on your website. No more late night calzones for me, at least the halal places dont lie, and tell you directly to go thru the third party site so I know to overtip.
