    It’s a trap. Like in the famous documentary, ‘The Santa Clause’, if you examine the crash site the drivers body will disappear and YOU will become the Door Dasher, and be required to fulfill all of their commitments.

    The application let’s you send flowers to your “dasher’s” hospital room

    Taking about dystopian.

    We don’t care about that motherfucker that damn near killed himself and inconvenienced us, but hey, that’s why we do the gig thing so we don’t have to insure them! But hey, YOU totally should send him flowers!

    I wonder what % of people seeing this think it’s real? People really gotta keep an eye on the community and understand what shitposting means

      Honestly, online service platforms have come up with so many odd and manipulated behavioural patterns they shove down their customers’ throat as long as it makes them money…

      If an A/B test actually showed that offering to pick up your food from a traffic accident site led to better customer satisfaction outcomes than just cancelling the order I seem them doing this 100%

    “Your dasher crashed, but based on his tracking, he’s still crawling towards you. This could induce some delay. If you go meet him on the way, you can get a rebate on your tipping fees!”

    0.3 what away from me? Miles? Kilometers? Meters? Units matter - I’m not driving to the other side of town just to pick up a bloody pizza.

      If you can’t be bothered to step out of your comfort zone and travel .3 AU to pick up your food, I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe you want the crippled driver to spoon feed it to you.

    I actually had this happen once. Dasher got in an accident

    The app just showed his car going in circles around the point he crashed

        The SI base unit for length is the meter, so they crashed 30cm (12 inches) away from you.

            I mean people usually suck at naming roads. Water St is often where the water tower is, Railroad St runs parallel to the railroad, Fish Hatchery Road is where the fish hatchery is, and then there’s the tons of roads named after specific families who lived on the land they run through. Granted it’s way less dark than the countless cities that are named after the people/natural features that were killed when founding the cities. So many places are named after who and what was once there…

              this all seems sensible to me

            I like the Moscow/Saint Petersburg system, wherein they both have avenues/highways named after the other city, leading to said city.

              Most of New England is named that way too. The problem is that the same road ends up with 2 names depending on which direction or end you are in.

              Got luck getting an ambulance dispatched to the right place (in my unfortunate experience).
