I read that story elsewhere today, but I was left with a few holes - when the door dash driver pays for the pizza, was it their own personal credit card, or was that a door-dash issued card? That was the missing part for me.
I think that they would notice at some point, and potentially trigger a fraud lawsuit - at some point the terms of service that all these people are agreeing to - would probably cover fraud. But even if not covered in the terms of service, one would probably still lose a lawsuit based on the fraud alone.
- Apocryphon 6y agoThese hyper-growth chasing startups are too busy to notice, not to mention they have their own lawsuits to worry about. https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/n-out-sues-doordash-delivery-service-mishandling-food/111215 https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/n-out-sues-doordash-deliver...
- MattGaiser 6y ago> a door-dash issued card? DoorDash issues something called a Delight card.It is basically a prepaid debit card.
- skrtskrt 6y agoI mean they are knowingly reselling something for less than it costs them, without ever touching the product, and they have no agreement at all with the restaurant owner that could stipulate "hey when you sell the pizza it has to meet these criteria". They specifically avoided letting the restaurant owner know that they were being sold through DoorDash, which is sketchy and definitely would lose DoorDash some sympathy about being "defrauded". I just can't see fraud here, only a giant company that is built on losing money intentionally creating a system that loses money with zero guardrails. Then people just... used that system exactly as it was.
