So to preface, I only really use doordash when I’m sick and I want to get food without spreading whatever I have. So I don’t open the app much. I just noticed that dominos is on the doordash app in my area. Why in the world would anyone ever doordash a dominos pizza when they already do delivery anyways? That just seems like a great way to burn a bunch of extra money for a worse service.
I wouldn’t call it being lazy but when one app already contains your payment details and is a familiar interface why go through the hassle of ordering on the restaurant site which may not allow ordering without an account or have a horrid order portal?
Spending extra money for generally worse service to save a couple minutes of typing is actually the epitome of laziness.
Why order online at all? I call them, on the telephone. I assume they’re answering on a landline.
Then I say “Heeeeeey, I want a pizza, here’s my address, make it happen, captain!”
And then we need to get more info, because saying “here’s my address” doesn’t actually give them my address, and they still need to know size and toppings.
But then they tell you an estimated wait. Eventually they send out a driver. If the wait is 15 minutes longer than the estimated wait, you call back, and be polite. You just say “heeeey, just checking on my order?”
And they say “Oh shit! Tony was smoking crack behind the dumpster again! We’ll run yours out asap!”
And then you get your pizza.
Because some people don’t like to make phone calls.
