Long story short, only got half the food, and all DoorDash offered was to refund me a portion of the cost, didn\u2019t refund the delivery fee, didn\u2019t refund the tip to the driver who didn\u2019t deliver the whole order, didn\u2019t refund the taxes. And my family didn\u2019t get a full meal for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See, they had one job, and they fucked up. What they don\u2019t care about is that I\u2019m not one to take such betrayal lightly. I\u2019ll drop them like a bad habit and never look back. For similar reasons, I refuse to shop at Walmart, or get gas from a Maverik station: Treat me, your customer, like shit once and that will be the last time you\u2019ll ever have because I won\u2019t let you try again. And strangely enough, I forgive most mistakes if there\u2019s a believable apology, but reporting this mistake to DoorDash felt like I was communicating with an unfeeling chat bot, and I\u2019d bet I was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So Wendy\u2019s and DoorDash, I won\u2019t trust you ever again, and you\u2019ve lost me as a customer for the rest of my life. Why is Wendy\u2019s wrapped up in this, I ordered through the Wendy\u2019s app and it handed my order off to DoorDash, making them both culpable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now do they care? Of course not. I\u2019m not rich or famous or an \u201cinfluencer\u201d. To them, I\u2019m nobody, so I\u2019m treated as nobody. So they\u2019ll go on pissing all over thousands of other customers who will just take it and ask for seconds. Well I\u2019m old school, I appreciate and reward service, not this mediocre half-assed service really designed to forgo quality so some bureaucratic tech weenie can be richer. Me, nope, I\u2019d starve before I use DoorDash or eat at a Wendy\u2019s again for the rest of my life, and I ain\u2019t lying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So as these paper-pushing morons wonder why places are struggling to stay in business even after another round of restaurant closings, don\u2019t bother asking me. If they\u2019re that stupid, then I hope they fail, as they give themselves another bonus. Strip-mine the quantity and ignore the quality. Greed wins again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real shame is that the greedy pricks don\u2019t even think they\u2019re greedy. If there\u2019s a Christian hell, I\u2019d laugh myself hoarse watching them screaming in pain right next to me. At least I already know what I did wrong to find myself in hell, and they\u2019re dumbfounded just believing it was all just good business. Pathetic fucktards. Hope to see you all in hell. You first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, DoorDash &amp; Wendy\u2019s, you both fucked up.
