      Door dash: “Sorry about your negative experience, here’s a $1.27 refund on your $46.77 order. Also, don’t forget to send flowers to your dasher’s hospital room!”

    I once got food delivered to a work site and it took like 15 minutes of go the last mile. Slowly walking all the way up the entrance drive to this place (it was a museum on the waterfront with like 1/2 mile of driveway before the parking lot) turns or he blew a tire and decided to walk it the last mile because he was almost there.

    I felt so bad. He should’ve just looked after himself… I’m guessing the app would’ve punished him with a suspension or something if he failed to deliver though. Wanted to tip more after all that, but there was no option to posthumously raise the tip in app and I wasn’t carrying cash.

    Guess that’s what happens when your boss is a robot.

      Unfortunately, that is a possibility. I used to doordash, canceling an order before you pick up the food is NBD, but canceling after you have picked it up is likely at least a strike against the dashers account.

      Yeah you can pay a little extra to get them cremated

        I read that early on there was a bug and you could get them cremated without them being in an accident.

        Thanks for nearly waking my parents up with loud laughter

          Why are they laughing in your parent’s house?! That seems a little concerning.

      Nah. That account posts a lot of “app features” like this as a joke.

        thank you. i really should have picked that up by the “send flowers” upsell. can you imagine? in a unlikely set of circumstances, the additional option to have said flowers delivered could trigger a rather unfortunate infinite loop.

        I tried reading this recently… only made it through a few chapters. Something about the writing style made it hard for me to see the story in my minds eye

          The lead character being Hero Protagonist gives away the tongue in cheek style.

          It’s worth reading for the first ideas of "the metaverse " but plotwise you don’t need to finish it.
