DoorDash hit with $1B lawsuit for charging iPhone users more “because they make more money”

Phone users often get into a heated debate on whether iPhones are better than Android phones.

Station Gossip- For those using food delivery service DoorDash, iPhone users get the short end of the stick. A lawsuit has revealed that they are being charged more when they use the app because they allegedly make more money than Android phone users.

DoorDash is now being sued for $1 billion following claims that the company charges customers using an iPhone more than it does Android users.

Screenshots filed in a class-action lawsuit have revealed that iPhone users were often charged $1 to $2 more than Android customers for delivery on identical orders.

The suit suggests that the reason for the shocking discrepancy is because studies have found that iPhone users are more likely to earn more money compared to people who own other phone brands.

DoorDash, a food delivery app that has at least 32 million users, is also facing allegations that it is charging customers who pay for its $9.99-a-month discount service Dashpass extra fees.

Ross Hecox has brought the class-action suit to the U.S. District Court of Maryland, citing DoorDash’s “deceptive, misleading and fraudulent practices.”   read more

    .. to the least deserving. The fucking asshole losers who piss, wine and moan about their Student Loan debt are also the ones who are too fucking lazy to prepare a meal and/or get off their worthless ass and walk or drive to a fast food joint. But they have money to have someone deliver a meal to them.

  2. How can they tell what kind of a smart phone a person who wants to use Door Dash is calling from? I like TRF’s idea, I grew up with rotary dial phones until the mid 70’s when we got a touch tone phone and I’d bet they just might still work. Want to totally confuse a gen X or gen Z’er have them try to figure out how to use a rotary dial phone or drive a car with a manual transmission on their own without explaining how they work. And write the instructions in cursive as well.

    It’s not a phone call. You use an app, and there are different apps for Apple’s IOS phones and Google’s Android phones.
    The connection from an iPhone has a much higher smugness concentration.

  4. Door dash has always been too expensive for me to use because they charge $10 for the account, add fees for delivery, add state/local/area food taxes, suggest tipping amounts, and also allow the restaurant to inflate food prices. pair it with the usual “unemployed” delivery drivers who sometimes “accidentally swap” expensive orders for cheap orders from an accomplice and it’s bad news for me and my house.

    we don’t use it anymore nor recommend it.
