Thinking of trying this out. I am seeing GrubHub, DoorDash, Postmates, UberEats. Where to go?

You can sign up the Uber eats and get a full refund on your orders. Do this until they start instantly denying any refund request. Uber eats still pays the restaurant and the driver. They eat the cost.

I easily got refunded $600 worth of food before they caught on. Got my work phone and did it again but this time to a park nearby my house because my house is blacklisted it seems.

And people like you are why we can't have cool things.. people like you are the reason why fucking companies take away the fucking refunds policies. Not like people like you give a fuck though, I'm wasting my breath.

They could prevent it while not impacting the average customer. The reason the don't is because they have a black hole budget and the only thing that matters is market share.

Maybe they should make the delivery driver foot the bill so he comes to my house and tries to bash me.

They're definitely a shitty person but in this case the reason we can't have nice things is economics. It is simply uneconomical for UberEats to exist and it is burning venture money to subsidize all our deliveries in the hope they can corner the self-driving car delivery market if it ever materializes.
