Why wouldn't the pizza place order $100K worth of pizza from themselves to themselves? They don't even have to make it.
- gambiting 6y agoI can only assume that such a large order would be eventually flagged by the system. But I imagine ordering 50 pizzas every night can be relatively "normal"(feeding the night shift or whatever).
- mikeryan 6y agoA Doordash delivery guy actually has to pick up the food though right? This also does probably provide some legal cover as well.
- golergka 6y agoHe can pick up empty boxes and then immediately hand them back as the delivery address is the restoraunt address, no?
- snowwrestler 6y agoIf the food delivery driver is knowingly not delivering any food, but is paying for the "food" anyway... that seems pretty close to fraud. If you order a shitload of real food and the pricing works out well for the restaurant, it's weird but it is still following the rules that DoorDash set out.
- echlebek 6y agoBut if Doordash never made an agreement with the restaurant in the first place, like in the article, the restaurant has no obligation to follow any of Doordash's rules. That doesn't mean they won't fall afoul of some state or federal laws in doing that.
- thebean11 6y agoRight but this thread is about the driver pretending they picked up food that never existed. IANAL but sounds like fraud on the driver's part.
- gentleman11 6y agoWhy does the food not have to exist? You can deliver actual food and toss it for that kind of money
- lowbloodsugar 6y agoNobody saw the episode of Bagpuss [1] where the mice just role out a cookie, and then take round the back of the "factory" and deliver it again? Apparently we've been waiting 46 years for this particular innovation to have a real world opportunity! [1] https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0771367/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0771367/
