  • Uber Eats.

    Last weekend, went to the local takeaway, was told they’re not taking orders in the shop, and that I need to order on Uber eats for collection.
    Stand outside and go on phone, “not available for collection”
    Ask them again. Get told to select the takeaway itself as the delivery location and they’ll refund the delivery cost.
    Try again on Uber eats and none of the menu items are available. Walk home exasperated.

    This weekend. Order from somewhere in town, it gets delivered by bike. With it being -3 out, it’s obviously stone fucking cold when it arrives. It’s not matey on the bike’s fault, his tiny foil lined rucksack isn’t going to keep a meal hot on a 15 minute cycle.

    I really miss just ringing a local takeaway and paying on the door. It was never cold, I didn’t have to pay an added fee, and I get to tip the driver properly. And not having to pay fucking uber a fee for the pleasure.

  • Yeah, total shit. The worst is when there's another stop before yours, 100% guaranteeing that your food is stone cold. I wouldn't mind having to reheat my food if I knew that it meant the delivery rider was getting paid double for a bit of extra work but if my experience working for Deliveroo a few years ago is anything to go by, it's a couple of extra quid at most.
    Also, if you're not tipping your Deliveroo/Uber/whatever rider a decent amount, you should be.

    Why the delivery driver and not the chef or the food packer/telephone answering person?

    What about your Amazon delivery person and the postman?
