FWIW this happens even with pickup. I used to use their 7.99 pizzas a lot when money was short. Their app tells you when the pizza is ready, about 30% of the time the pizza was not ready when their app said it was. This means the workers were gaming their timing system with fake pizzas. Often times I'd be sitting in their pickup area for 20 minutes after the pizza was supposed to be done.

>This means the workers were gaming their timing system with fake pizzas. Or it meant the person cutting and boxing your order was falling behind. At least ~15 years ago, the way Domino's timer works is that when the cook puts the order in the oven, they hit a button. ~8 minutes later it says it's ready, which is how long it takes to get through the oven. That was the only input for carryout, delivery had another for…

No one ever notices the no garlic spray order. I eat dominos weekly and every time I move, it takes a few weeks for the new store to catch on that I order without garlic, and they always know me after that. Any Dominos ordered while out of town is 75% chance of being wrong. I've given up at this point. Papa Johns and gets it it perfect every time, and I can forgive Little Caesars.

California voters showed up in droves to prevent that exact classification change from happening, because your average voter is few IQ points away from needing help tying their shoes, and will absolutely eat up whatever lies Uber et al. will pump out.

Good, this is exactly what we wanted. Service worker classification is straight up wealth transfer from delivery users to drivers since competition is so tight and everyone ie being squeezed. The needs of the many outweigh the entitlement of the few. It's unfair for delivery app users to have to subsidize employment for drivers when its clear there's many willing to accept the current terms.

K so having bankrupted the restaurant industry, what's next?

Isn't America supposed to be the richest country in the world? You can afford to pay people a decent wage you just don't want to. You could double the price of a beer in NYC or Miami and people would still come.

We don't "need" to but we'd all be generally better off if ex-cons can find honest jobs to support themselves.
