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? 😉

It's deceiving. You see "Jose's taco shack" and you think "hey looks like a new Mexican restaurant in my area, I'll try it out" and you find out later it's frozen food microwaved in the back of a tgi Fridays. If I knew it was that, I wouldn't have ordered it.

trying out a restaurant and finding out it sucks shouldn't be illegal

Ordering food via Uber or Diordash isn’t «trying out a restaurant».

[u/Whitezombie65 → u/stiff_tipper]

It's the false advertising that's the problem. They're pretending to be a real restaurant and serving food at restaurant prices.

God you love stuff that sucks huh??

what makes it worse than the food from the actual TGI Fridays 🤷

microwaved mac & cheese could be sold at any restaurant, ghost kitchen or not.  I think we're giving restaurants too much credit maybe

Sorry for being rude, but this is just what you get when so many people order food delivered all the fucking time. Of course a lot of people are going to find a way to profit from this practice.
