Foodora is exiting the Canadian market, never used them, but one less food delivery app.

Canada is a tough place it seems for some businesses, car sharing is another that seems to struggle here.

I've never used either food or car sharing apps, but today when I went to pick up subs from the Vietnamese restaurant, in the time it took me to get my order 2 Skip the Dishes drivers grabbed their stuff and ran out.

I have a feeling they don't want to deal with the union drive going on, so easier to pull of Canada altogether, Canada is a small market in the big picture, and I doubt any of these app companies can survive in a union environment or even if they had to pay min wage.

Car sharing is popular in Vancouver, but BC is a tough place to run a transportation business and seems the business model doesn't work with the regulations in BC for some of the companies.

I use Skip. Works well. No app, though, just the website. It usually works well.

For some reason I was unable to 'find' the Indian Restaurant I wanted yesterday (for today). It was either no sign of them or, bizarrely, googling the name and the Skip site did then find them but they were "not delivering" at the selected time no matter what the selected time/day was.

It wasn't simply because they were not open at the time I was on the site because there were plenty others in that situation too and they would take it.
I contacted the restaurant to tell them and they were going to look into it. Fortunately, today, it's all fixed and we have a feast arriving later which should do more than just tonight.

I took a look at Doordash and they had the same restaurant, but zero description of what the food was.

Something I noticed on some hobby forums I go to.

The US centered ones are more pleasent places, more friendly and less bickering.

The Canadian centered ones are less pleasent, more bickering/name calling, and less friendly.

Parody apparently.

I'm at work, turned up a 2.5 hr Tuba Skinny concert from Sept 1 2019 and going to start by moving some furniture, then do some cleaning. I didn't bring my lunch so will just work through. Eat your hearts out.
Woo-Hoo! Coffee time!

Sitting here at work all by myself, nobody around at all. I just thought of Father Jack Hackett and shouted KNICKERS!! at the top of my lungs.

1 year ago today I was in Dallas, how time flies.

For anyone interested....

It's not something I ever used - except for the chip shop curry - but I just noticed on Walmart that Bisto gravy mixes are there.
I'm not sure if this has been posted before.

I get Batchelor’s Mushy Peas, Pickled Onions, Branston (finer chopped for sandwiches) from Walmart, plus a few other British goods.

Well I wont be ordering from this company anymore, a small pet related business, $200 min order, or $50 in shipping, only in Canada would a company not want business.

"Effective immediately, all orders under $200 will incur a $50 shipping fee (rather than the standard $9.99-$14.99 rate). "
