Here's a thing; if you are going to order food from a delivery company like #UberEats, #Foodora, #Wolt, #Deliveroo, #JustEat, 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.

Pour raconter des histoires, des lieux, des personnages, il faut des images. Dans ce nouvel épisode de notre série photographique, Philémon Barbier suit Azedine, migrant tunisien, désormais livreur de repas à vélo.
When you get down to the #deliveroo driver's shelter in Victoria Park #Bristol, you'll appreciate what the #gigeconomy's exploration of #workers looks like....
Once you've read this I'm sure you will not begrudge me using the term #classwar!
Just in a local pizza place chatting with the owner, a Neapolitan, and the young woman who waits on tables. If you use #JustEat or #Deliveroo the business gets a bit over £30 on a £50 order when you include delivery, commission and so on. He shrugs and says “It’s the mafia…” I can’t imagine much of this all goes to the e-bike riders….
Walk the few hundred meters to your local restaurant and support your local independent business. #enshittification
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 #UberEats
For context here, we usually order through #Deliveroo as I've got a plus account through Prime and get cashback on some of the transactions but we figured we'd give it a go.
A series of just bad scheduling and availability of delivery drivers later, the food rocks up a very long time after we ordered and had been sat on the counter waiting to be picked up for 40 mins. The restaurant left a note with our food apologising and left the time that they had finished prepping the food.
En fait, les créateurs de contenu sur #Youtube, c’est un peu les livreurs #Uber / #Deliveroo de la vidéo, mais la popularité en plus ? 🤔
Ils bossent aussi dur, avec des salaires de merde (de la part de Youtube en tout cas), tout en se croyant libres et entrepreneurs, alors qu’ils ne sont qu’esclaves de la super-machine.
The #Deliveroo judgement at the #SupremeCourt is one more aspect of the divergence from our previously solid #workers rights as part of the EU - a #Brexit benefit, but not for #Workers
'We face a dire combination of emboldened companies cutting real wages, intensifying work & undermining legal protections, and two major political parties that are fundamentally unwilling to grant workers the democratic right to organise in the workplace'!
The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has lost its case at the #SupremeCourt (the last of 5yrs of appeals) meaning that #Deliveroo can continue to regard its #workers as self-employed, robbing them of employment protections & rights.
Just to be clear, if your #gigeconomy business model requires workers to have few rights & protections, you are not a tech innovator, you are an old-style labour exploiter!
This is not the 'new economy' it the Victorian economy!
@NatureMC yes, i’ve been thibking about this a lot. Quite a few of articles on the #Heatwave in #Phoenix and elsewhere this summer focussed on #Amazon#Deliveroo etc people trying to cope, their strategies foe trying to get through the day. Abd in #Houston a #postman was one of the first reported fatalities. Yet another dimension of injustice. #ClimateJustice#ClimateEmergency
Kudos to @byjp and the #Deliveroo web team, aided and abetted by the federverse, for shipping a fix for a critical #accessibility issue (that removed the entire checkout page from the accessibility tree), just five hours from the moment I sent an optimistic bug report out into the federverse in hopes it might reach the right people! 💜
Do I know (or can I reach) anyone on the #Deliveroo web team?
You have aria-hidden="true" set on a high-level container on your checkout page. So if, like me, you use a screen reader, the entire page is removed from the accessibility tree - making it impossible to complete checkout.
