Here's a thing; if you are going to order food from a delivery company like , , , , , etc. then once you have picked your restaurant, go and check the restaurant website to see if they have their own delivery option.

Sometimes they offer delivery themselves - or with a chosen partner company - and it can work out cheaper for you. Or if it's the same price, but the restaurant sometimes pockets more from the sale.

We discovered this morning that it seems no longer possible for #blind #UberEats customers on the #iOS app to select missing items on orders to request refunds. I have logged an #accessibility support request with #Uber and I hope anyone else experiencing this issue will as well.

UK Court case finds inadequacies over its and choice of Microsoft app together meant driver racially discriminated against and denied work. "Upgraded" app couldn't recognise driver because of darker skin tone so denied him work. This could happen in any country using these apps.

This year on #ValentinesDay support the #gigeconomy #workers at #Deliveroo & #UberEats by not ordering food from these platforms & helping them make their one day strike effective.

Many drivers struggle to earn a #livingwage, while their exploitative conditions are now well known.

these are no tech-firms, their business model is based on #wagetheft & the denial of workers' rights as a way to build market share & profitability.

Stand with the riders & drivers!

Just wanted to share a bit of an eye opening experience. @PrinceMumbles and I have had a bit of an increase in take-out orders where I've been working a lot further away from home than usual and he's been super busy with his work and neither of us wanted to come home and cook, tonight was one of those nights and we had one this time last week as well.

The difference last week is we wanted to order from a place we had not tried but heard good things about, but they were only on

Dear people,

Why won't you knock on my door when I ask you to? Are you afraid I'm going to yell at you for giving me hot, tasty pizza? Do you really think I prefer to have my hot tasty pizza left on the cold floor tiles for several minutes instead of in my hungry hands?

Kind regards,
Everyone

GrubHub, as it turns out, is even more affordable than DoorDash. 👍

That would mean, everyone is more affordable than Uber Eats. No surprise there. 🙄

I received a free GrubHub membership with Lyft Pink. The whole service fee and delivery was less than two dollars, combined (1.23 total). 🤯 Virtually no overhead on the menu price

If only Lyft rides were affordable. Often their prices seem insane and getting a ride from Uber is the better option

: "Despite facing challenges such as low earnings, lack of insurance support, and allegations of unfair termination for years, Uber Eats drivers in Johannesburg stayed away from unionizing because they feared losing work. But the drivers at the monthly meeting told Rest of World they believed it was time to reconsider their stand and collectively push back. “We would not be doing this if our company in the least cared about us,” Mlilo said, addressing the other drivers. He and another Uber Eats rider, Thando Dlodlo, have become the unofficial leaders of this group.

An Uber spokesperson told Rest of World the company remains committed to the almost 20,000 delivery drivers that it employs across South Africa, and regularly consults with them to ensure a safe and rewarding experience. “Looking forward, Uber remains committed to working with delivery people representatives, policymakers, and the industry to guarantee the benefits and protections platform workers deserve while maintaining the independence they want,” the spokesperson said."

Basically, what we’re saying to people today is:

You’re interested in tech and you want a nice home (or just any home) and stability? Go work at Google, Facebook, or some other surveillance capitalist.

What’s that? You want to work on free and open source? Sure, go work at IBM or Oracle… Oh… you don’t mean enterprise software? Tech to protect human rights/democracy? Not for profit hippie-dippie crap for the common good?

Oh, then suffer.

I mean, is it any surprise things are as they are?

When your Uber Eats driver disappears with your order for over an hour and tries to blame the store (who also tried to contact him) but then turns up and looks nothing like the person in the app (they did not change drivers). Just wondering if Uber Eats drivers can share accounts with other people and have them drive for them?

tip. Greetings everyone I have just discovered within the Uber eats app and under the account tab, there is a new voice settings option. You can have your Amazon echo devices update you once you click on track order status on the order track screen after placing an order. You could also set this up for Siri and Google assistant. Just thought I would let people know that this feature is now available and I just happened to discover it today. I love the idea of the echo device updating you when your order status changes when ordering on Uber eats. If anybody tries this feature, please let us all know how it works. I will do the same.

Every couple of days I run into a lost gig economy delivery driver in my building. Today, it was a monolingual Spanish-speaking woman. She was in the elevator when I got in and was clearly trying to exit our maze.

For the love of everything decent, if you order delivery and getting to your home's front door requires going through more than two doors and/or an elevator, just meet the delivery people at the street. These folks do not get paid enough to be losing 20 minutes and risking a ticket or their bike getting stolen because you're too lazy to put on slippers.
