Oh yes gods slack in particular got a lot worse with the most recent update, but the site I think takes the cake is one we Canadians use for food delivery - skipthedishes.com . Gods this site breaks so many things, options to update things are hidden among menus that switch the current page while not being ctrl-clickable into a new tab (which can trash your current in-cart order) and the whole site loves "minimalism" i.e. let's put soft grey text on a white background to drive contrast into the ground. Given that this service's value proposition is basically "As a company we have a highly usable website and a fleet of delivery drivers" the fact that their website is trash is super annoying. (The site is blocked behind address entry, if you'd like to try it out may I suggest 1 West Georgia Street Vancouver BC)

Wow, you are not kidding. I went to this site to see for myself, and the very first thing I see is re-Captcha. And it doesn't even work! I have to pick out photos of tractors before I even get to see what is on the site! Holy cow, why does anyone use this? It's a hot mess.

  Didn't even get the chance for a re-Captcha with me. It outright blocks me because I'm using a proxy.

    I wonder if that's because they had far too many pranksters ordering food for someone else.

  First thing I saw is that the website didn’t work at all without JavaScript. Then after enabling JavaScript I realized why: https://twitter.com/buzzert/status/1251314195976425473 https://twitter.com/buzzert/status/1251314195976425473

  Well it's either this or you have to cook and do the dishes. Heck, it's even in the name.

As a user and driver, the intended experience is very obviously the app, not the site.

Really, just let the delivery by requesting by telephone call instead is better.
