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.
dominos in this case aren’t the party sending staff at another company to the dangerous locations. that would be doordash
yea, instead they are providing a company food so they can deliver there instead, since that makes it so much better lol
I can see the argument of, well, we didn’t know it was a DoorDash, we didn’t know where it was going, but like for partner establishments that excuse doesn’t exist, and even non-partner establishments could very easily just choose to not allow DoorDash at the establishment. It’s a huge “not my problem and gets me more money” mentality
It’s huge “I can’t fix this problem myself” mentality. Dominoes isn’t sending anyone to that neighborhood. Could you imagine the furthered dystopic trend if Dominoes (and others) COULD choose which neighborhoods to not serve AT ALL? If multi-brand corporations could so directly manipulate product availability like that?
There’s enough problems in poorer areas becoming “food deserts” by lacking proper groceries and only having garbage fast food available in walking/bussing distance. Let’s not give the French fry overlords any more power to tailor the markets through delivery denial.
you think they should refuse to sell food to people in underprivileged areas? man no offense but that’s really fucking stupid
I did just edit it to make my point a little clearer, which changed quite a bit of it. But to answer your question, if that area is an unsafe area, yes 1000%
Being said, it’s not because it’s an underprivileged area. It’s because the area isn’t safe to be in, so therefore, if you’re being robbed/mugged, delivering food to the area, don’t put people in that situation. To me, it’s absolutely stupid to think anything else.
I think you’re just extremely wrong about all of this. The doordash app could warn drivers about certain areas and give them the option to refuse orders, but this has nothing to do with dominos. They are responsible for their own staff.
