Comment on Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery?
nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoI think you’re just extremely wrong about all of this. The doordash app could warn drivers about certain areas and give them the option to refuse orders, but this has nothing to do with dominos. They are responsible for their own staff. Dominos isn’t a government

Oh, don’t get me wrong. DoorDash is as much at fault as Domino’s would be in this scenario.
I just don’t see the comparison of oh, it’s not safe enough for my company to send people there, so let me allow another company to send people there because they are willing to give me money for it.
If it’s not safe to go to, then neither company should be sending there, and anyone that’s assisting in allowing that to go there would be equally at fault.
it sucks for the people who live in that area, but I don’t see where it makes logical sense to cause additional human risk for someone else’s situation for the intent of increasing profits. It’s morbid.
the core issue is exactly like what you just mentioned. DoorDash could do that, however they don’t, they even actively penalize their drivers for refusing routes that go to specific areas. if DD isn’t going to do it, then that responsibility morally falls on dominoes.

no it doesn’t. they are responsible for making food and directing their own staff. they are not responsible for doordash staff, or uber eats, or whatever. you cannot refuse to make food because someone lives in a certain neighborhood. that should actually never happen. dominos isn’t a government regulatory body overseeing food delivery or deciding on or enforcing some weird reddit-logic labor regulations. you have no idea what you’re saying

Dominos doesn’t have to be a government entity to have a moral compass and not provide food to companies that are intending to put their workers at risk by delivering to locations that the same establishment has decided isn’t worth the risk to their own employees. There is proper ways of doing this that doesn’t involve risking people who don’t have the ability to easily say no without it effecting their contractor or employment status.
I agree with your statement that they(doordash) /could/ give that alert, but they don’t. The closest to my knowledge that they use is a weather/crime reporting service that only triggers with major crime events(such as a mass shooting) or major weather events (and even that is iffy). Instead they do the opposite: they ding the drivers account if you deny or reject the order, and if you do it too many times they terminate you as a contractor. There is no system in place to allow for an opt out like you describe. If they did that would be amazing and make it a slightly better solution. My opinion is that since doordash knowingly doesn’t provide that system, Domino’s as being the source should step in. Honestly, you could hot swap Dominos with any establishment that DD works with and my opinion would be the same. As it would if you hot swapped DD with any of the other food delivery services because to my knowledge those don’t offer any way for drivers to opt out either, it’s against their self interests.
being said, I thank you for your responses to it, I do understand your POV and what you are saying. I just respectfully disagree and I don’t see that changing.
