It just annoys me because I’m not going to order it and I’m abstaining from alcohol. But there’s always some “special deals” being advertised by UberEats on alcohol, as well as meat, dairy and eggs. It’s like they’re really sleazy and desperate to hawk these products.
Good starting place for an ADA class action lawsuit.
Oi vey 🙄. The first step is not a lawsuit. Uber probably don’t even know they’re doing this as they will create marketing campaigns at a high level to target a mass audience rather than specifically trying to offend you. That’s just not how these campaigns work.
A good starting point would be to reach out to their customer team and highlight the issue and see if they can figure out a solution.
What’s with the straight to the courts ambulance chasing mentality people have rather than trying to reach out and find a solution?
This sounds like you’ve never worked in the industry or have any insight into this topic. Large companies like Uber absolutely do listen to customer feedback. And if you want it to hit their bottom line you can protest the use of their app until they change, make it a hash tag on social media and drive change by voting with your feet. You don’t need to whip out the lawyers. Lord above, not everything needs to be solved with litigation.
A program to allow customers to tailor advertisements
We’re not talking about tailoring advertising. OP stated these are recommendations based on the what he is buying at the time. These are offers. Have you never seen a two for one aisle at your local supermarket? Or special offers on alcohol? It’s not a random advert popping up asking them to buy stuff whilst booking a cab. At the simplest level we’re talking about a setting that says, don’t upsell or market me alcohol (because I may be recovering) or meat (because I may be vegan). That would actually be a selling point for their app and something they could put a positive spin on.
I genuinely think you don’t understand the problem space here by what your saying or the solutions you’re offering.
Well feel free to waste money on a lawsuit as OP suggested because you’ll fail so hard it’ll be funny. Then the courts can tell you it isn’t covered by advertising laws and you’ll finally learn.
So feel free to start the challenge and let’s see the change. If you’re so confident then lawyer up, as they say. Force them to implement an ADA compliant solution if you think they’re in breach.
Then post the judgement where the court throws it out 😂.
I’ve worked for gigantic corporations as well as small shops, from cashier to systems administrator, on three continents, and not once have I seen a manager review customer feedback about anything but the call centre staff.
Well to be blunt you’ve worked for shit companies. Sorry.
I know this is an old thread but just my two cents. The best reason for me was when it came to switching. With a smart meter I have all my year’s worth of data online and ready to hand: consumption, KWH used, cost, which month was the worst, what time.of day, etc. This makes is so much more easier to just do a proper price comparison online rather than guessing your usage.
Plus I don’t have to send manual readings back to the energy company and there’s nobody knocking on my door anymore to check up on me. Couldn’t be happier.
This is really good advice. We have to do this every year as well. I would add that if you can air the room / flat out for an hour in the morning to let the air circulate that would be good as well. Easier said than done when it gets colder and rainy though.
The Pixel line up lost a lot of respect from me after I purchased the Pixel 6. Absolute shit show from start to finish. Love the software, hate the hardware.
What’s my best alternative for next year when I consider upgrading?
Dodgy fingerprint reader, doesn’t stay flat when laid down on a table which makes glide typing difficult because the phone rocks about. Basic QA issues. Basic.
Anyway like I said love the software, hate the hardware.
Absolutely amazing if this ever happened. Sadly I think this would need a large majority in the commons to get through. Too many “vested interests” will vote against so Labour need to force it through on their own and they can only do that with a majority. Great for headlines though....
