In a perfect world, when a situation brings this policy under examination in the courtroom, DD would be found liable in that they expected drivers to evaluate inebriation without providing training for it.

Correct, and if someone claims physical assault or god forbid, rape.. then and alcohol was involved, not only the would be assaulter is in trouble (as they should be), but also the supplier (and whatever supply chain they feel contributed to it)..

Hence why everyone is sooo nervous the second someone is drunk.. because…

Neither is the guy who rings up that 6 pack at your local convenience or grocery store.

While I suppose it’s possible a driver can capture the ID image in a way that they retain a copy on their phone, it's much more likely (because it happens all the time) that DoorDash's cloud storage and/or the retailer's database are insecure as hell and have unnecessarily long data retention policies, so it's just a…

Somewhere in the liquor law is likely a clause that forbids providing alcoholic beverages to someone already obviously intoxicated. Even the people sampling at the grocery store or at a wine festival or on a brewery tour aren’t supposed to give away a free drink to an already drunk guest. So you 100% can get…

This is one hundred percent about pushing corporate liability onto the ordinary dasher. We all know that nobody is going to do these challenges, head office knows it, the customer knows it, the regulators know it, the legislators know it, they are too busy and too desperate for the work to start doing that. But it…

The app scams the ID and data is stored in the delivery driver's device. The data is transmitted encrypted to the DD servers. Relax. 

Dashers dont want your ID. They dont get it either. Its just your picture on the ID to verify. All the info is redacted. Its actually a really good system and convieniently easy to use. 

Is there some law that says I cannot be skunk-ass drunk in my own home? If I’m having alcohol delivered, yes it DOES probably mean I am in mop shape to get it myself. But so what?

Yet another example that the gig economy is just a bunch of rent-seekers reaping all the reward while shouldering none of the risk.

Yeah, even during lockdowns the Fedex guy would at least ask for verbal confirmation that I am an adult or at least could be charged as one.

When I order whiskey from overseas or wine from Oregon, some delivery people have asked for ID even though I am in my 50's. The checkout process was very clear that it would require someone over 21 to sign for it and it would not just be left at the door. I don’t think any of them ever assessed my sobriety when…

She built her image around being an aggressively sexual, party-girl. It’s sad that this happened, but also very on brand for her. It’s a little odd to me that she’s sometimes championed as a progressive or even feminist figure when her work seems at best banal and at worst, fairly exploitative. But I’m just musing and…

“i kissed a girl, she disliked it” probably wouldn’t have been as big a hit

Actually, these ARE the same people who care about the babies after they're born. Check the stats. Pro-life people donate 30% more to charity than pro-choice people.

Sex ed and contraception do not prevent abortions they prevent pregnancy. Too many people use abortion as birth control which is incredibly ignorant, lazy and unhealthy.  It’s so sad that you have been indoctrinated into believing that abortion is wonderful and babies are dispensible......so sad.

Perhaps sex should not be treated as just a sport. Perhaps people should be responsible for the choices they make. The government is not responsible for you from cradle to grave, that’s the parent’s job. Parents..father and mother. Responsible people don’t just  sleep  around for sport.  Responsible people use birth…

Yes, I think this is the root of the problem. As a woman, I have felt consistently dismissed by doctors most of my adult life. I have found them unwilling to explore my issues, instead basically dismissing them as me being tired or depressed. Well, yes I am tired and depressed, but can you help me figure out WHY? Why…

“Conclusion: Stop harshing my buzz, and ESPECIALLY stop trying to tax it when it does no harm to anyone else. Looking at you, Seattle.”

I can guarantee you there’s loads of examples of people that lived how they wanted, eating whatever they wanted, and dying early. There’s probably also loads of examples of people trying to be healthy who end up living long lives. And there’s probably examples of loads of people trying to be healthy but dying early…
