Let me try to get this straight.

It’s New Year’s Day and you are tech savvy enough to navigate the Uber app, but not tech savvy enough to look up the deli to see if they have their hours posted or if they don’t have a website, give them a quick telephone call to see if they are open?

“My dog and I wanted a sandwich for lunch today, New Year’s Day. We ordered it on Uber Eats”. We ordered? : ), Your dog must be really smart. : ), Next time ask him to call the deli.

You ordered the sandwich on the Uber app, and I’m assuming you were charged a fee for that, but yet drove to the deli, in the rain no less to pick the sandwich up in person?

“I only have one leg, so they had to call an ambulance to physically remove me from the Uber car.” So how were you able to drive to the deli today?

I am assuming by your calling it a deli, this is not a chain restaurant. How is Uber supposed to know they are closed? Do you think Uber contacts every mom&pop shop individually to check on their hours on a holiday? Do you think every shop that contracts with Uber to place and or deliver orders are all hooked into some uber Uber mainframe that updates every few seconds?

You say you don’t have a physical credit card. How are you paying for the Uber?

You didn’t get hosed since Uber refunded your money, you were only mildly inconvenienced.

I’m sorry but nothing in your posts make any sense.

Are you people insane? You’re totally missing the point. So you think that if there’s an application written that facilitates placing an order with a deli, you wouldn’t expect it to detect that there was no one there to make the actual order?

And you’re okay with being able to place an order when the place is closed?

I explained why I chose Uber instead of calling. I’d like to add that there’re difficult to get through to on the phone. They used to have an order facility on their website, but they went with Uber because it’s no charge to either party if the customer picks it up.

I’m kinda surprised at your criticisms about me. Fine. I’m a moron. That doesn’t change the points I’ve made. Shrug. At least now I see why they get away with it. Freerepublic sure has changed.

Happy New Year.

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?
