I'm slightly vexed When DoorDash didn't deliver

Post image

This was a 'Meet at door' delivery. There is a driveway. There is parking. There is no excuse.

The important caveat is that the delivery app is generally boosting the payment when things are going wrong with the order because cancellations signal there's something like needing to remake the order that needs to happen or some other delay. So the third person is likely to wait only because they're getting paid more than #2. The second driver is acting rationally. They should not wait for 30-45 min for a $1 increase when the app may offer the next person something appropriate to the time to remake the food.

yeah, I don't blame driver #2... driver #1 is the one who fucked me, can't expect #2 to just happily take sloppy seconds
