You know, I do go to restaurants, and DoorDash is making restaurants worse. They're becoming DoorDash focused and the dining room experience suffers.

Even picking up your own food is becoming destroyed. Orders get made with no regard to the estimated pickup times you used to be able to rely on. Your order might get made immediately and just tossed onto a pickup shelf where it sits getting cold for half an hour.

This is all because DoorDash guarantees absolute shit quality and accuracy. Cold food, wrong orders, and they've trained people to not complain by threatening to ban you from the service. So instead of the son of the owner of the pizza place rushing right out to make your order right with an apology, you just accept that an 80% correct order is OK.

A whole generation of young adults has come of age with this thanks to COVID, so we're just stuck with it now.
