I need the updates. My apartment door is a few minutes and a card-locked lift ride away from the street, even if they could get to me I wouldn’t expect anyone to go that far. It’s not like I could just note the estimated delivery time and be ready for that, I’ve had more punctual doctor’s appointments than the average food delivery.

I hate the yes vs not now choices. I use DoorDash maybe once a month or two when we’re having a lazy night in, and every time I open it (including to check the order progress of an order I just made) it prompts me to turn on notifications. Yes or not now. Here, I’ll grab it now.

The thing is, I have notifications on!

I will “never miss an order update” as they say because it’s allowed, I’ve only turned off the million ads they want to send me. These companies constantly being as shitty as possible is getting to me more and more these days.

I also have everything forwarding to another account, with a rule to tag the ones sent to my gmail so that they’re highlighted. It’s a big task at first but just do a couple every now and then and eventually it’ll be done.

You’re forgetting the secret bonus rule, which says everything can only be at most mildly infuriating when compared to Israel
