  • Oh yeah I’m with you there. I click the box for total price and skim the rules. All I had to do at this place was put dirty towels on the floor and run the dishwasher (never used dishes so didn’t have to). But all those places with chores? Lol get fucked, I’m with you completely. Hotel all the way. They can’t bill me for cleaning and also make me do chores. I don’t do my own chores.


  • Airbnb competes with itself, due to the individual hosts putting up their own listings. Or are you accusing them of being a cartel?

    Airbnbs are not actually bnbs. They don’t have free breakfast. They are just a room.

    Businesses fail all the time. As long as they continue to have what I want at a price I want with the convenience I want, I’ll keep using it. Just like ubers and DoorDash.

    Who cares if VCs waste their money on an unprofitable business as long as the hosts don’t create a cartel?




  • I stayed at an Airbnb last weekend. Instead of paying over five hundred a night for a tiny non luxurious hotel room, I paid 300 a night (total, after splitting was 150) a night for a massive two bedroom apartment two blocks from the hotel room. Parking, everything included.

    It was cheaper and better than a hotel. Are you somehow gonna make the hotel lower their price? For that to happen, they would need competition.









  • And what did the “customers” say after you told em it’s a DoorDash problem? (I argue your customer is DoorDash since they ordered the food, but I recognize that user might mistakenly rate your restaurant poorly on an app outside of DoorDash - who cares if they rate you poorly on DoorDash, you don’t want this non censensual business anyway right?)

    Do we really need to design a system that takes into account the fact that users blame the wrong thing? How is this any different than dealing with people of average intelligence who Karen about other random stuff that isn’t your fault? They’re dumb. Put on your customer voice and tell them kindly to fuck off. Even if you did have a partnership with DoorDash, the delivery is still not your fault so they were still wrong to call you. It is your fault if you finished making the food too early though. In-person customers, not just DoorDash, rely on your pickup time to be accurate. If I’m on time and my food is cold cuz you finished early, imma be pissed.

    DoorDash lets you rate the driver separate from the food, and a reasonable person knows that the driver doesn’t work for the restaurant and therefore the only way it’s the restaurant’s fault is if the food isn’t placed on the pickup counter while it’s hot or wasn’t decently packaged to stay decently hot for fifteen minutes for someone to get home and eat it. Everything else: anticipating cook times so that a driver accepts the job and arrived at the restaurant on time, is on DoorDash.
