Delivery drivers are independent contractors and DoorDash facilitates the meeting of drivers and customers. The fees go towards DoorDash and the driver, and the customer can add an additional payment to the driver to make their order more enticing to accept. There's no "refusing to pay wages" in this situation. If you want to go with the ultra low cost option, it will not be attractive to drivers so you may wait longer.
You can twist the words all you like, but DoorDash is still an employer, and they still pay like shit.
Yeah, let me know how to get GrubHub to even respond to a support request for an order that never arrived, much less refund me and then you can tell me GrubHub is better. I had an order that was never delivered on Sept 23 and GrubHub has still not responded to or refunded me. At least with Doordash or UberEats I can get issues with my order addressed almost immediately.
Charge it back. If you didn’t get service, no reason they should get money.
I did that. There were no options, just a dialogue saying they had refunded me a couple dollars for a price mismatch. But no button to report an issue on the app or web, no chat, no email or phone number. Just a Contact Us form that I filled out and submitted with all the information nearly a month ago, and no one from GrubHub has reached out. I finally just did a chargeback a couple days ago.
Weird, I've gotten refunded by them easily in the past.
Yeah this is why I only use GrubHub now. I still tip well cause I appreciate people who bring me food and I can afford it.
Huh, good to know, thanks. I don’t use those services often now that Covid is going away, but if I need to again it’s good to know that one isn’t as quite as shitty.
Huh, who knew they had their legal reps on the fediverse.
Geez, I hope they're paying you to suck their dick this hard
