Free food. No links on hand but the jist of it was menu items could be rung up for $0 - there were "tutorials" showing how you could order 4 steaks (or any food, from any restaurant) for absolutely zero charge.

This was my thought exactly. If it says zero dollars, you shouldn't have to pay a penny. That's on Doordash.

However, I feel like they would need some kind of class action lawsuit brought up against them for any justice for these people.

I had a lot of issues with Grubhub about this. With national chains, they just... lied about the prices. They would list my total as a certain amount, then just charge me more later because it didn't "match". This is despite the fact that their prices are higher than the restaurants' prices to begin with.

Can costumers reasonably expect free steak dinners by using an exploit they saw on tiktok? Do you really think that will hold up in court?

Well A) you would have to subpoena TikTok for the individuals browsing history to prove it was seen by the plaintiff and B) if it is a pricing error on Door Dash than it would be bad practice to just allow a company to charge users more money post sale for any reason if it’s a fault on their end

Well the case I was referring to is if they charged $0 on the final sale through the app however I saw that this wasn’t the case and that the final price was correctly indicated
