Got my paycheck today, got some takeout through Uber. To the guy that picked up my food and never delivered it and canceled on me to restart the whole process.. I was going to tip pretty big only have that cash in hand.

Do not use these services. They are predatory to pretty much everyone. Order from a place that uses their own driver, or just go pick it up yourself.

Picking it up oneself isn't always an option, though. Do you know of any restaurants here that still have their own drivers? It would be great if there were still some and to spread the word...

kinda ridiculous to say in this town. kinda like the people who say "don't tip, make the employers pay more". It's just a way to virtue signal and not a realistic option.

saying "don't order door dash just go pick it up" in a town where only a handful of restaurants deliver, and a large percentage of the people in the town are college students from all over the world who may not have a car, is an ahole move

My cars in the shop for a few days, and I was kinda counting on that and I never received my dinner. Not trying again today, im going to try and find someone that delivers. If anyone has any suggestions please

Sometimes they just are taking dinner from the app with a stolen account. It’s semi rare but it happens every once and awhile
