why is every single “order food online” service a huge pile of shit?

for instance, this one has a big “Pay with Apple Pay” button which uh, triggers a JavaScript error because their domain and/or payment provider aren’t actually set up to use Apple Pay!

so uh, you click “pay with credit card” after reloading the page, right? and then click the “place order” button in its place and it goes “uh you idiot, you absolute moron, you haven’t added a card”

it does not uh, tell you you have to scroll ¾ of the way down in order to do so

so once you find that and enter your credit card info it tells me to fuck off because a four digit postal code cannot possibly be valid

but the form submits anyway???

I don’t really care to to name and/or shame because there’s no point. Every single one is like this. Internationally.

any way I think(?) there’s a tasty burger on its way now? hash tag self care

holy shit I was just delivered THE WRONG FUCKING ORDER what the hell seriously I’m not even trying

ha ha incredible, on this service, refunds are self-service and instantaneous I WONDER WHY 🤔

so, good news, the wrong order contained the extra toppings version of the burger I ordered anyway, sorry to the person who wanted the other one I guess?
