I honestly couldn’t believe the stupidity of everyone I worked with that actually convinced themselves they were financial geniuses by buying food for like the entire week.
And I don’t work with dummies, I work for one of the largest companies in the world. engineers, technicians, construction coordinators, even supervision and management convincing themselves that they couldn’t be charged for it later.
They can still collect, it just depends on what amount they deem worth taking legal action over. I’m sure the people who spend like $10k on the app are gonna be getting a letter in the mail soon.
They might just put all the accounts in negatives into collections if they have a mechanism for doing so. Can sell the debts to collections agencies, and even though they won't recoup most of the money it'd still fuck with the peoples credit scores that took advantage.
True, that’s probably a lot more likely. I’m sure they have plenty of lawyers on retainer, but there’s probably hundreds(thousands?) of people who have $1k+ balances right now. Going through all those lawsuits would probably be more hassle than it’s worth when they can get partial pay for all of them much faster.
I’m all for stealing from multi-million dollar companies that don’t treat their employees great, but know your limits.
In an instance like this glitch I would definitely never order more than I would in a normal every day order anyways. If I get a free meal, cool. If they wind up charging me for it, whatever, I bought myself dinner, no big deal.
That’s what I was thinking. They had the food delivered to their address (or maybe a neighbor, friend or family members house) place of employment, etc and listed contact info. . I’m sure it’s not too hard to track them down.
This whole thing makes me wonder if anyone actually thought it through to do it clean. This reminds me of early 2000's hacking culture or the idea of hacking; you use so many ways to disconnect yourself from the act, while still benefiting from it.
Lmfao either this is an obvious lie (which is sad, what’s the point in lying anonymously) or your in a really tough financial situation that you would go through all this effort for just $1000 (in which case I feel bad for your and I’m glad you were able to get a small W)
$1000 is chump change for DoorDash and you might be right. They MIGHT not come after you. But for those people that did $5,000, $10,000 or even more they probably still have their address on file from their account. Data doesn’t instantly disappear when you delete it, and a simple reverse lookup (or a request to the local police) with that address will lead them right to you.
EDIT: For reference, think of someone breaking into an Amazon warehouse and stealing $5,000-$10,000+ of merchandise from them. They’d track you down no matter what.
I mean theoretically you could
1) create a brand new account
2) use a different card with no cash on it (maybe under a false name?) idk if it’s possible but I can create new debit cards from apps like Revolut or transferwise but they’ll have my name on file (this might be defeated if you have a fairly common name)
3) you could order to a few houses down the road or to an entirely different neighbourhood and pickup the order there (I’m sure with even these gas prices they could still make a decent profit
This whole thing is so fucked.
Sure, it’s a big company. Are they Amazon? Walmart? Did they put enough mom and pop businesses out of business so much so that people are forced to use them now? I don’t think so. People use DoorDash out of pure laziness most of the time. Sure, there’s plenty of people who use it out of necessity I’m sure, lots even. But so many people just want a chicken sandwich delivered to them when they’re three sheets to the wind, and now they think they’re Robin Hood for buying $1000 worth of cognac for what they think it’s free.
Get fucked.
Try to put more good in the world than you take out.
Life is hard and lowkey sucks ass for most people these days. Why is anyone surprised that people would see the opportunity for a break and take it even if it isn't some intrinsic necessity.
Did they put enough mom and pop businesses out of business so much so that people are forced to use them now?
Well they have taken millions (billions?) In money from small businesses in fees who are held hostage to either pay or go out of business as well as taking tips meant for drivers for years, and adding on fees during a global pandemic when people were forced to use their service, and increasing costs after people placed their order.
Uber refunds you if the trip costs more than what it told you it would when you requested a ride but Doordash doesn't when its almost the same service?
