Today I placed my first order with one of DoorDash’s competitors; GrubHub. You know the one, with the ‘GrubHub jingles’ and how “it makes you boogy”, and Matpat discovering undeniable proof the GrubHub Universe is the future of the Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius<\/em> cartoon show, and the infamous ‘Milkshake Lady’ (who’s able to dance while
\npregnant) getting squished by a giant GrubHub bag in the middle of town.
\n–
\nBut anyway, GrubHub is the only food delivery service that covers Kingfish, a local restaurant here.
\nGetting the order setup was a bit confusing, and no cheesesticks. But I was able to get a baked potato and a brownie (both were pretty good.. probably not so much for my insides but ehh). Placed the order, and I noticed there was no immediate way to track my
\norder (unlike DoorDash). This took about 3-5 minutes until it popped up.
\n30 minutes later, the driver was nearly here but passed by us, and kept going back and forth. I got a call and them asking me where I was. I tried to explain with what I could understand from her. Where they showed the order to be delivered was different than what it showed for me.
\nThankfully the person found me and made the delivery. I then noticed I couldn’t review the order (unlike DoorDash). I looked everywhere on their website and saw nothing about how the order went and stuff. There’s not even a way to use their help system.
\n—
\nAn hour later though, I got a text message asking me about how my order went. Ok, that’s cool. They give you time to eat your food before you rate.<\/p>\n

And finally, our local Meijer’s is not covered by GrubHub. This is bad. The other thing I didn’t like is the brownie I got was supposed<\/span> to look like this..
\n
\nWhat I got was just the brownie. No ice cream. No whipped cream. No chocolate syrup. Just a brownie and that’s it. And not even an option to give me what’s in the picture.
\nSo yay. False advertisement. $4.00 for a single brownie, of something I could had easily made with the right ingredients following a brownie mix recipe, and gotten more for my money.
\nThe one from Frisch’s Big Boy actually looks like the damn picture! Sure it’s a bit lopsided but still.. I get what I paid for. Wait, what’s that? Frisch’s doesn’t use GrubHub either?! Fuck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
