Why do I do this to myself?
Almost every #food #delivery order I have placed in the past year has gone very wrong, usually due to the platform and not the restaurant or driver. The companies have reached that point where they're too big to care (until that falls apart and they crash).
"Stopped" using them.
Tonight I decided to try #Uber Eats one more time, because I arrived at my hotel late, was very hungry, nothing is within a safe walk, and I have no car.
Huge mistake. Never again.
