YSK to check the address of chain stores in delivery apps
Why YSK.
Apps like Uber Eats, Door Dash, etc., will almost always give you a more distant store first if it's a chain, to bump up the price. There have been times I've delivered items to people, and passed 2 or 3 of the exact same store on the way to the delivery.
Look, I don't mind getting paid, but there's also customer service, and just ripping people off. So I've taken to asking the customer if they knew which store they were ordering from. Because most people don't bother to check. I had one guy say yes, because the 2 stores closer to him sucked, and he'd get the delivery faster from the farther store. Cool.
Most others had no idea, and thought they were getting the item from the store 5 blocks away, not across town, and thought that they'd be getting the closer one. It's not just Uber either, I've talked to drivers of other apps, and those apps do it as well.
