I wanted to celebrate my birthday so I doordashed this $18 pasta.

[-]

EmanTercesa@reddit

Whats the problem with it? You ordered a mushroom pasta….. that looks like mushroom pasta ????

[-]

Pawneewafflesarelife@reddit

Yeah, the portion is small, but I don't understand why everyone is saying it looks gross. It's clearly mushroom, herbs (thyme I think, maybe dill) and black pepper in a cream sauce.

[-]

EmanTercesa@reddit

Depends on the type of spot you order from the portions are smaller which is usually because of the primo ingredients

[-]

Pawneewafflesarelife@reddit

True. The mushrooms in OP look like golden or brown enoki which tend to be more expensive.

[-]

Im telling you !!!! lol bro don’t know he got exactly what he ordered. Probably has truffle in it too. If you want the big portions u won’t really get that from the official joints…. Mayne like a jackastors or somewhere that isn’t higher scale like a chain restaraunts or something

[-]

Twaam@reddit

In my experience, high end restaurant food does not travel well

[-]

Difficult-Square-689@reddit

Maybe he ordered from a place that does antipasto/primo/secondo plates. Bro saw "pasta" and assumed it would be an entree and not just part of a meal.

[-]

vyxanis@reddit

This form of pasta has gotta be one of the dumbest things to order for delivery, and expecting it to arrive still being restaurant quality makes very little sense. Unless they remove the heat, the pasta keeps cooking. So either you get cold pasta you need to reheat, or your pasta arrives luke warm and soggy (depending on how far away you are and how many other orders the driver has to deliver)

Either way its not something I'd ever pay twice as much for just to avoid going out or cooking. A packet of plain instant noodles would be more appealing by that point.

[-]

rabbitholeseverywher@reddit

I agree. This mostly looks disgusting because of the packaging it's in. Otherwise, this is just how some mushroom cream sauces look. If OP says it tasted bad I believe them but that's a taste issue not a looks issue.

If it was on a plate with mushroom sauce nicely spooned across my man size ravioli and maybe some parm and parsley.

Or i can get delivered so bumps in road and general movement moves the food.

Pasta looks totally fine. Clearly a cream sauce pasta with mushrooms that sat in a takeout container and got shaken around in someone's car for 30 minutes. Portion looks a little small

[-]

darkest_hour1428@reddit

It is up to the whim of Door Dash. Sometimes they refund it to the original card, sometimes they only give you store credit, sometimes they say oh well try again later.

[-]

agoia@reddit

On one of my last DD delivery orders I paid in mostly credits for an order that ended up being yet another failure. The refunded the whole costs, including what had been spent in credits, to my card. And then I deleted the app.

[-]

GMAN7007@reddit

If you can get to a person you'll most likely get a refund if what you're saying actually happened. I'm sure they get people scamming from both sides all the time.

[-]

VanillaRadonNukaCola@reddit

Yeah you have to firmly tell the robot that their offers are unacceptable and you need to speak with a human, and then when you get a real person you have to be nice and explain.

I've had to do that a few times and got full refund plus account credits

[-]

GMAN7007@reddit

I hate that it's so difficult to contact actual people.

[-]

enjoytheshow@reddit

You push back on them. Have a backbone. Literally push back in the nicest way possible and they say ok sure and give you a credit card refund.

[-]

peacenchemicals@reddit

doordash fucked me over like this.

they’re like sorry you didnt get the right item. here’s half the refund for your troubles. and here’s a coupon. oh by the way, the coupon is only good for 24 hrs.

i tried using it 20 hrs later and it didn’t work. customer service was like sorry it’s expired. but feel free to order something and contact us again and we’ll figure it out from there basically

fuck you doordash

[-]

killian1113@reddit

Door dash makes food?

[-]

SirStocksAlott@reddit

Door Dash makes food worse.

[-]

killian1113@reddit

The issue is with partial refunds not that door dash had anything to do with this food

[-]

SirStocksAlott@reddit

It was a joke.

[-]

Drikkink@reddit

Really? I rarely have issue with getting refunds. I also haven't ever requested a refund because food was bad (because I'm lucky and never got anything bad I guess) but I have had to request full (for when the driver "puts it at the wrong house") or partial (when the restaurant forgets/doesn't have something) refunds and always got my full amount back in either credit on their site or a refund to my bank (that takes a few days) or they redeliver my order. They also usually give me like a 5 dollar credit on top of it if the driver "misplaced" my order with no expiration.

Like Doordash sucks for a lot of reasons. Inflating restaurant prices. Screwing over restaurants by either putting their place on Doordash without being asked by the restaurant or just taking way too big a share of the money they get. Customer service that is difficult to navigate at the best of times and basically an AI chatbot at the worst of times. But I've never had an issue when I actually spoke to a human.

[-]

PiccoloAwkward465@reddit

One of the first times I hung out with my now wife I was staying in an Airbnb in a large apartment complex. I ordered us burgers on DoorDash. Lord we must’ve spent nearly an hour scouring that fucking complex trying to find those damn burgers. We didn’t have a key fob for the building so we got into the parking garage and got stuck there lol, had to wait for a resident to let us out of purgatory. It ended up being a fun experience lol. Never did get those goddamn burgers.

[-]

JustaPhillyBoy215@reddit

Right why would I wanna eat there again with credit if yall fucked up my first order. GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK , I DONT EVEN WANNA GIVE YALL A SECOND CHANCE . I hate ehen company give you credit. Like if I paid cash, then I want CASH BACK if something goes wrong. Thats a slap in the face when they do that

[-]

Instawolff@reddit

Screwing up would imply that they COULD have done better.

Wiling to bet this place just serves up expensive slop all day long.

[-]

Lopsided_Antelope868@reddit

Yeah. It looks inedible. Why would they think someone would ever go back?

[-]

lothcent@reddit

heck- even worse is that business script deal where a town passes a ordnance that allows businesses to return change that is"town script "

My memory is a bit rusty- but I went on a 5th grade school ski trip to Italy when I lived germany

Parents paid up front for hotel, travel, ski/lift fees

We got there and every one was having a good time.

only after kids kept getting change in a different currency that the adults quickly determined was script and not legal tender did things get tense

kids were handing over 5 and 10 dollar bils ( local equivalent) to buy a 15 cent candy bar expecting change in same currency used ( i am pretty sure it was Marks since this place was pretty close to germany )

when the adults caught on to what the local business people were doing to the dumb American 5th graders- they wouldn't let the kids into the shops.

dont recall any further details.

You gotta say that the item you ordered was not delivered or they’ll give you nothing. When they ask “was your bag sealed” you just hit yes that way they don’t try to pin it on the person who delivered it

Chargeback that shit fuck that

[-]

EqualsPeoples@reddit

0 days since a redditor suggested a bank chargeback for a frivolous purchase

[-]

Thesource674@reddit

He didnt get the item he paid for as advertised. Who cares if its a lot or a little. Is your brain fucking deficient bro?

[-]

EqualsPeoples@reddit

No but yours is. You can't just chargeback every single thing you're not happy with, your bank can and will just close your account. It's a $18 life lesson not to eat there again, not a chargeback.

[-]

Thesource674@reddit

Ive never in my life had a bank give me an issue. They are usually perfectly happy to take my side as they literally dont have skin in the game you mongrel. Enjoy licking the corpo boot every time they fuck you lol.

18 for that pasta is criminal. That restaurant after enough chargebacks however, THEY, will get dropped by the credit companies.

[-]

TripleDallas123@reddit

You can't just chargeback without reaching out to the company first to resolve the issue ffs

BananaHead853147@reddit

It’s actually more corpo bootlicking to use the giant banking corporation to take funds away from a likely small or even family run business.

[-]

BananaHead853147@reddit

[-]

danawhitesthrowaway@reddit

The restaurant is fulfilling orders through Doordash, Doordash handles payment. Doordash will close your account for chargebacks.

[-]

Thesource674@reddit

Oh no not my doordash

[-]

EqualsPeoples@reddit

Your bank is tracking how many times you're doing it, and if you're doing it over bullshit like this, you've already set the bar too low and are putting your account at risk. It isn't "corporate bootlicking" to just acknowledge how the actual real world works.

Oh but it hasn't happened to you yet so it's fine. Dipshit.

And this is why I never Doordash. Paying double the price to have the food delivered to me cold isnt appealing

[-]

PlasmaWhore@reddit

I was against doordash for years, but it's a great deal if you use it strategically. I never order from any restaurant more than a 10 minute drive from my house. I buy doordash gift cards from costco at 20% off the face value, and I use a credit card that gives me a free dash pass. Even with the tip it comes out about the same price or cheaper than picking it up myself. And 90% of the time the dasher is at the restaurant before the food is done, so I've almost never had cold food. I tend to only order things that either reheat well or hold temp too.

[-]

Difficult-Square-689@reddit

Wasn't so bad when they were at least honest about the pricing. Now, you have to cross reference the restaurant's actual menu prices to figure out how much you're being ripped off

The dishonesty annoys me more than the cost

[-]

MotherBathroom666@reddit

I always double bag with thermal bags so when I deliver the food is at least warm after sitting in traffic for thirty minutes.

[-]

Thermal bags are great but that doesn't save the meal if you get there half an hour after it was finished because you got an order someone else reassigned/cancelled. I always feel bad when I get to a restaurant right on time and the bag is ice cold.

Happy birthday.

After more dismal experiences with ready-to-eat food delivery, I gave up and began cooking.

It's a whole new world and opens many opportunities like control over quality, quantity, and timing.

Sure, I have to plan ahead, make the food, clean up but I'm now addicted to making it myself.

If I want to make lasagna - for example - I can split the recipe into two dishes and freeze one, bake the other. On the weekend I plan meals for the week and that helps prevent "what's for dinner tonight" scenario.

I also have a list of quick, healthy meals (including leftovers) that are great either for lunch or when I don't have much time or when I'm exhausted at the end of the day.

I've purchased several cooking resources, including food storage systems that work well. I'm buying and making food that is healthier than most restaurants provide.

I've saved a lot of money and frustration by cooking/preparing meals.

Yeah, sometimes I'll call in a pizza or calzone on my way home from work but maybe only once a week.

One of the biggest benefits from my journey: I'm in control - that's joyful.

I'm really in the early phase of cooking but it's fascinating - a lifelong journey.

No shit Sherlock. The sauce is fine at the store. Eat the leftovers the next day and it dries out and you have clumps of cheese. This happens with every cream based sauce.

Wtf is it supposed to be?

cja951@reddit

It looks like someone grew a maggot to the size of a lobster and then tried, and failed, to prepare it as food.

[-]

jdmills55@reddit

What kind of cook sends that out and who in the hell on expo sent that. I mean take at least some pride in what we do.

[-]

SuspiciousSack@reddit

Did they dump the mushrooms directly from the box it came from? Looks like the podzol and dirt it grows on.

Champman2341@reddit

18 dollars for 7 noodles is absurd.

Smegma-sniff@reddit

That looks like slices of almost melted provolone covered in a sauce made entirely of those big black beetles that have been ground up the grayish part you see is their guts.

Mushroom cream sauce is not a good to go item, the pasta soaks up all the liquid and just leaves congealed dairy. :-(

They should have made it looser to compensate for the drive.

Don't use door dash, just go to the restaurant, order it from the restaurant in advanced if you want to eat at home. I know this post is on the restaurant and not doordash specifically, but I am so against doordash.

[-]

tsunx4@reddit

You can cook restaurant worthy portion of pasta at home with 18 bucks worth of ingredients and it will be more satisfying because you've done it yourself.

Happy Birthday, by the way.

[-]

CappnMidgetSlappr@reddit

it will be more satisfying because you've done it yourself.

It'll also be more satisfying because it'll probably look and taste better than whatever Dive Bar Ashtray Soup OP posted.

I don't get the hate this looks like a nice mushroom pasta to me. These types of dishes won't travel well because they're supposed to be on a plate, and assembled in a particular order. Probably delicious regardless.

EntrySure1350@reddit

$18 pasta after DoorDash fees all in for $36.

Used DD once for dinner late at work. Cost double and the driver was a chain smoker so my food came to me smelling like cigarettes. 🤮

I’ll go hungry and just wait until I get home. Never again.

geezeslice333@reddit

The portion is sad, but that sauce is legitimately deplorable. Whoever let that leave the restaurant should be ashamed. You can see how its broken and the fat has separated, but it'sclumpybin other parts. That's exactly what happens when you warm up a cream sauce in the microwave after it's cooled completely. Didn't even bother stirring it. For shame.
