Did I just read someone scamming a corporate in fine detail?

  I remember reading this around when it was first posted, and I cringed at that too. I saw no problem with their first test: providing 10 perfectly-good pizzas and pocketing the $10 arbitrage; I think DoorDash would be hard-pressed to argue about that. But just putting dough in the boxes for the later purchases felt like something that DD could sue for, and possibly win. I think it's hilarious, and DD got what they deserved in this case, but it seemed legally risky to write about something like that.

    If the restaurant had signed up for this service then I would feel ethically weird about it; but actually Doordash is trading on the restaurant’s brand without permission so I think it’s ethically fine. My biggest concern is waste of food!

  Startups and "corporates" never feel bad about breaking the law (only pretending to do so when it's good for PR), why should this guy? Not to mention, I'm not even sure any law was actually broken here. I too wish we lived in a society where illegal and unethical behavior was called out and shunned regardless of who's doing it, but let's drop the double-standards since we're not living in such a society and things don't look like they're even heading in that direction.
