Ok I can’t be the only person who thinks this “deal” is a scam

1. There’s not a single thing I could purchase on UberEats for $10, and they know that

2. I’d rather have a 10% off deal for my $50 order, knowing it’s the same $5 savings

My gut says that they really don't understand consumer psychology, but on the flip side, maybe they know that most of their orders are really low-ticket, and this is actually a huge deal for people who order a $20 order

I've just never spent less than $30 or $40 on Uber Eats - so this doesn't feel like it applies to me

dark ux sense tingles every time i see it, too

Ex-VC. I like making bread (literally and figuratively) 

You'd think they'd change and do something different by now, but I guess that's just how people (and big companies) work 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah they’ve been in hot water lately bc of stuff like that. People really hate the hidden fees and fake discounts

Yeah, Travis's Uber was a different beast

But this doesn't feel like targeted marketing - it feels like false advertising

From reading the cold start problem, I saw just how savage Uber was and is with their targeted marketing

That doesn't even cover taxes and service fees!

Not sure i understsnd. Get a pita falafel for $18, save $5.

I fucking hate Uber Eats, so many hidden fees and dark patterns, support is non-existent
