Just wanted to make an entry today. Something really odd happened to me this morning, early this morning... and it all started yesterday, the 15th.
There was an issue with ordering with Door Dash in my area, they were having technical issues, so I chose a later time... between 5 and 5:20 this morning. Later on in the day yesterday, I tried again and saw that the technical issue was fixed, so I bought something else, which was a Duck Pizza with 2 cans of Pepsi. That was good, but not the best. Just something to tide me over until my delivery between 5 and 5:20 this morning. I decided to stay up all night long for my delivery to come between 5 and 5:20. True, I was getting more and more tired during the overnight hours, but I was very much a trooper since I did manage to stay away, but the next paragraph will just have you thinking, "Well, why isn't this dude up in arms?" and that will be explained very soon.
I was sitting on the "Order Placed" page and when it hit 5am, still no movement. I think I waited until 5:40 or a few minutes later to click on "Help" and me asking "Where's my order?" to where an AI chatbot came back to answer me with "All of our Dashers are not available at this time, but we'll be looking around for the best possible Dasher for you. It will be there by 5:57am." or something along those lines. I wait between 5:45 and 6am, and suddenly, some activity on the page. There was a Dasher just north of me going for the store, that I chose my groceries in, way to the south of me. Now, I try to talk with him, but it buffers and buffers and buffers again. I think there was still an issue, but the page changed from "Picking up order" to "Waiting on order". All of a sudden, I get a text on my phone from the Dasher saying that my chosen store couldn't fulfill my order and they cancelled it.
Well, how about them apples? I mean I stayed up as long as I could thinking that everything would be okay for the delivery, but sometimes things like this happen. I am not angry at all because the service has been top notch until now. Just a little hiccup, that's all.
So I then went to bed and woke up 5 hours and 45 minutes later, approximately.
But Door Dash is a very good service. Not everyone uses it, but for me where I live, it's convenient. Yes, it may cost you a bit more, but hey money helps the world go round (old saying I know).
