I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that the credit card "perks" I get for DoorDash and Uber are just utter BS when you don't live in a big city. I get $25 a month for Uber, and of course I have no need for actual Uber rides living where I live, so I've been trying to use them on Uber Eats. Key word - try. Most of the time, the orders are wrong, take way too long to deliver, and are almost not worth the effort.

Today, for the second time, I watched on the app as a driver went the wrong way to try to get to our neighborhood but went into an adjacent neighborhood that does not connect by road to ours. It's 10 minutes away by car, but you can probably walk between the two in less than 10 minutes. The guy actually called me and argued that he was at an address number as close to mine as he could find... except it wasn't the same street. But hey, he found 123 on the map, nevermind that it was on Main Street and not Johnson Avenue! I ordered dinner at 4:05 and it showed up at 5:45.

We wanted to order wings from a local place but apparently they refuse to do to-go/Uber Eats wings orders on football days because the menu on the app had a bunch of stuff, but no wings. Mind you, this is a fucking wings place! So we ended up ordering BBQ, and it took 100 minutes to get delivered. When we have ordered wings from the local wings place, 2/3rds of the time something is wrong - sometimes they don't come sauced, sometimes they are missing a sauce flavor we ordered, sometimes it's missing a salad, etc. Or the local Mexican place forgets to add chips and salsa, or doesn't provide tortillas with fajitas, etc.

Is this normal for those of you who regularly use these apps? Because I'm really getting sick of the crappy service from either/both the driver or restaurant.
