God this went from hilarious to boring. Yeah, you’re right and I’m wrong. You’re God’s gift to QA. And yes I’m whining. I whine constantly about things like redundancy and error trapping and missing functionality. Ya got me. Big yawn.
Now I’m laughing. Hey, QA genius, you may not have noticed. I’M BLAMING THE DEVELOPER. I’m wasting my time talking to you. I’m done.
Funny, cause for me it went from boring to HILARIOUS. the more you dodge and weasel the funnier it is.
All you ever had to do was apply your professional brain and say “yeah, I can see how that could happen.” But NOOOOOOOOOO. You had to whine, and whine and whine and whine and insult anybody that pointed out your faulty logic.
And that joke reference should give you an idea how old I am.
No. You’re avoiding admitting your mistake.
On New Year's Day, esp. if not a national chain, I'd call to make sure they were open before placing the order.
Not to sound "woke" but this sounds like a 1st World Problem to me.
Sigh. I’m done, but I noticed my credit card explanation didn’t pass by the Karen Squad. My card was stolen, and they assigned me a new one. I got the number but the physical card was mailed. Get it?
Ok. So you’re saying that I should call before I place the order online? You would do that? So then why bother to order online? And again, you’re perfectly ok with being able to order online even though they’re closed. Because it’s New Year’s Day apparently. Uh. Ok.
Ah. As representative of my betters, could you tell me again exactly what my mistake was? Thanks.
Being a whiner.
Ah. Ok. And I’m whining about what again?
What aren’t you whining about?
Do me a favor. Take this thread to your Senior Software Engineer and ask him or her what they think. Maybe you’ll learn something.
I can tell you what they think:
that guy excepts Uber to have godlike knowledge of all their restaurants, doesn’t comprehend random failure, and goes out of his way to make his own life difficult. He’d call it “another UHG”, they’re a company that refuses to upgrade no matter how many bug fixes (and every bug they ever encounter is a massive end of the world) are in the newer versions. They make their life more difficult and blame everybody else.
Wow. As I just said, I find it astonishing that someone in QA makes excuses for sloppy programming. “Random failure” can’t be anticipated. This is trivial to anticipate. I’m happy you don’t work for me because you’d be on the unemployment line. If you’re done with your ignorant and misinformed prattle, insult me once or twice more and go away.
I’m not. I’m pointing out that there are a HOST of possible things that happened that would have NOTHING to do with the software. See I understand that you actually need to prove it’s a bug, replicate it, understand the data that went into it, be able to actually show it didn’t do things right.
I see you STILL can’t figure out the difference between the private reply and post reply. Really guy, if your FR usage is typical of your skill with software I’m not even sure I’m willing to believe you even used Uber. Could have been any damn app. And you could have sent your order to any random restaurant. You really got no room to throw shade at anybody when half the time you’re hitting the wrong button and then saying the same thing to me twice.
Yes. On a holiday where there is a good chance the restaurant is closed, I would call first.
After a little research, I found that restaurants that partner with Uber Eats use a tablet for on-line ordering. If the restaurant closes early or gets too busy to fulfill on-line orders, they (the restaurants) are supposed to turn off/disconnect from the app so the restaurant shows up as “unavailable” to the customer.
That this deli showed as “available” to you when placing the order tells me they left that app on so they showed as available rather than closed or unavailable.
Sounds to me your gripe should be with the deli and not Uber.
BTW, did you ever receive a notification from Uber that your order was ready before you left to pick it up?
Please feel free to pull this thread. I wasted my time posting it. Thanks.
Yep.
Though it died illustrate perfectly why people produce mediocrity. It is not only accepted, but defended.
These dipsticks must be related to the manager at a restaurant that took a reservation (over the phone, not online) at 6:30pm on Christmas Eve. This despite the fact that they closed at 6pm on that day.
When the issue was brought to his attention at the restaurant entrance at 6:20PM that day, the manager swore up and down he called and left messages THREE TIMES about the problem.
When informed that was bull**** the manager got an attitude “Why you gotta talk to me that way?”
They probably wrote the wrong number down.
Lots of people out there who, for what they lack in talent, skill, or work ethic, make up for it with “self esteem” or “pride”.
Gotta save face when you’re a f*** up.
