Ask HN: What's your worst Uber Eats/Door dash experience?
UberEats decided that I lived in the very center (i.e. GPS lookup) of my city for a booking despite numerous bookings before and after. This meant I had to drive in, park, and meet up with my my poor UberEats delivery driver who was on a bike and had no chance of making it to my place anytime soon.<p>UberEats drivers who accept delivery of multiple orders, so you wait for everyone else&#x27;s orders to be cooked and delivered before your cold burger and fries arrive. This problem is exaggerated by either these orders being on opposite sides of the city or the delivery driver being on a bike (why either of these are permitted I have no idea). Have even had my order delivered to someone else and vice versa this way before.<p>In general, slow deliveries and the usual process of having to walk up the street to find lost&#x2F;lazy drivers. The ETA always being wildly wrong (I get cooking delays, but delivery ETA from pickup should be spot on, and is usually off by 100%). Then add in general restaurant problems with mixing up orders, missing items, or selling food that doesn&#x27;t transport.<p>Would happily pay $10 (maybe even $15) per delivery rather than the $5 they charge now if all of these problems went away (e.g. guaranteed prompt and direct delivery).
