At least I understand first hand now how getting fraud prevention wrong can erode customer loyalty and trust. Helpful as software engineer that works in fraud prevention and in loyalty.

I didn't bother with dispute because they're exhausting. 5 months later I still have not been shopping on doordash. They keep emailing me about my monthly $5 credit and my dashpass benefits but I still don't trust them to deliver my food when I pay for it and to return my money when they don't. 😕

Had a hard day so I ordered a late meal on doordash last night. never got my order (or a delivery picture for that matter) so I pressed didn't get my order after checking around the front of the house and trying to call the driver. Automated system assumed I want a refund then declined to give it.
