After I placed an order, I hit the back key on my phone a couple times in order to review something, and the next thing I knew, I had a notification of ANOTHER order in progress, for a restaurant I had thought about ordering from days or even weeks previously. I had abandoned that cart back then because the total was too high, and now the app was suddenly putting the order through! I found the cancel command in under a minute, but the app said it was too late.
Then I tried getting help via the chat, and it just went round and round with scripted questions that didn't relate to my problem, even after I asked for a representative over and over. When I wrote "cancel" in response to "Is there something else?" it canceled the unwanted order the app had made without my consent, but added that I would STILL BE CHARGED! WTAF?!?!? They took over $40 and didn't deliver the food, which I at least could have saved for later.
The rep on the phone was almost as useless as the chatbot. I wasted over half an hour trying to fix a mistake the Uber Eats app made and instead of offering a refund, like DoorDash did once when there was an error, the rep said a supervisor would call within 48 hours. Like I'm going to sit by the phone for two days?!?!?!? Y'all have my email AND you know how to text me.
Never, ever using Uber again, for food or a ride.
