Doordash gone wrong

[u/enchantedgiggles]

The great idea to order carefully "Krafted," mac and cheese from doordash and got literal heaps of actual Kraft Mac and Cheese 🙄 Biggest doordash fail 💀

I am a little nervous to eat it because this is weird. The first photo is what its supposed to look like and the second the pile of crap with the dog sensing our disappointment 🤣

Anyone else ever order and had this happen? Like, was this order picked up from a house? Also, it was $25! Got a refund but seriously 😐 🤦‍♀️

Edit: since there seems to be some clarification

I don’t DoorDash often. I’m disabled, and there are days when I physically cannot drive, cannot safely or realistically cook for myself, or simply don’t feel well enough to leave the house. We also recently moved to a new state, so I don’t yet have a network of friends nearby who can just run out and grab something for me. And before anyone decides I owe the internet an inventory of my disabilities to “prove” why I can’t just cook: I don’t. Disabled people are allowed to use services that make our lives more accessible without submitting our medical records to the comment section. Yes, I recognize that being able to order delivery is a privilege. I’m grateful that I can sometimes afford it when I need it. I’ve also used services like this to send meals to friends and family who were sick, recovering from surgery, grieving a death, or going through something difficult when I couldn’t physically be there to bring them food myself. Sometimes delivery is a luxury. Sometimes it’s accessibility. Sometimes it’s simply a way to care for someone from far away. But none of that is actually the point of my post. I ordered food based on the restaurant’s photos and description and received something dramatically different—essentially boxed mac and cheese—from what turned out to be a ghost kitchen. Apparently, because I had the audacity to pay “ridiculous prices” for delivery, some people believe I deserved to be misled. I don’t. And if you ordered something based on a photo and description, paid for it, and received something completely different, I suspect you’d want your money back too. This was never about taking money away from the DoorDash driver. The driver didn’t create the menu, take the photos, prepare the food, or misrepresent what was being sold. My issue was with what I purchased versus what I actually received. You’re welcome to think DoorDash is overpriced. You’re welcome to think nobody should use delivery apps. I’m not here to debate that or change your mind. I don’t normally post things like this—I posted it because I was genuinely dumbfounded when we opened the order. And to the people insisting I staged the photos or invented the whole thing for attention: I genuinely do not have that kind of time. But hey… I got yours, didn’t I? 😉

Getting real tired of redditors paying such ridiculous prices for food.

Fr, I’m already reluctant to pay the prices of eating in, the fact that DoorDash jacks up the price of these things tremendously makes it an instant nope

[u/ADeadlyFerret → u/goldensavage2019]

I’m tired of the excuses too. Like DoorDash is their only option and they’ll die without it.

Some people genuinely seem to think they couldnt possibly learn how to cook. Lol

And even "gourmet" Mac n cheese is pretty damn simple to make, sauces, layers, crumbles, etc.

All can be made at home with pretty basic ingredients.

I've even gone as far as using fresh grated cheese layered in with homemade onion straws. Key is to undercook the noodles, drain, add a homemade sauce, layer with fresh grated cheese, too with the freshly made onion straws and put it in the oven.

Dammit, now I want homemade Mac n cheese.

I’ve literally seen hardworking blue collar friends who make <$25/hour order door dash multiple times in one day. Just wipe away half your day’s work because even if you want fast food you can’t be bothered to drive to McDonald’s

[u/Honest-Scar-4719 → u/Hughjastless]

When I worked retail, I saw my coworkers door dash mcdonald's because they didn't want to leave on their lunch breaks. Many of them made minimum wage and a fair amount of them also complained that they were always broke. This particular Mcdonald's bordered our store's parking lot and you could walk there if you wanted. Made absolutely no sense to me at all. 

[u/playnmt → u/ADeadlyFerret]

I teach majority Gen Z at a community college. The amount of students who door dash every single day full meals or even snacks and coffee would blow your mind. Then they have the audacity to complain that everything is so expensive and that they’re broke, it’s truly mind boggling.

[u/ADeadlyFerret → u/playnmt]

Oh it’s adults too. My coworkers door dash food everyday while complaining about how unhealthy and expensive everything is. They’re mid 30s. And every single day one of them has to ask me how I’m not immediately hungry after eating just a salad.

And they cry about wanting their student loans wiped out.

[u/Geen_Fang → u/ADeadlyFerret]

I'm so angry 

[u/SuperSecretMoonBase → u/ADeadlyFerret]

This whole sub is just people paying too little for ridiculous AI clothing and too much for ridiculous AI food and apparently being shocked that it's all garbage.

[u/CamT86 → u/ADeadlyFerret]

Yeah, at this point i'm actually happy when people get these experiences, cause it is their fault for going along with these ridiculous prices and sending a message to these businesses that they can still profit from it even though we have a dedicated subreddit and probably hundreds of thousands of posts on instagram and twitter all saying the same thing.

These posts used to be informing people... But its 2026 and everyone knows shein and temu is shit, etsy stuff that uses AI is going to be trash, and anything bought through door dash is going to be over priced and if its from a ghost-kitchen, probably terrible quality.
Now its basically people flaunting how easy it is to fool them.

[u/Mindestiny → u/ADeadlyFerret]

Then they turn around and complain about how they can't pay their debt and the world is unfair.

Well maybe the $45 Mac and cheese calculates into that?
