I'm curious if anyone happens to know if and/or restaurants are held accountable for their staff, responsiveness, disrespectful behaviors and over all poor performance in regards to their responsibility to doordash deliveries.

For example, if I get a door dash order to a place that I'm 13 minutes away from.. that means they've got the order 13 minutes before I get there. So, when I show up, they shouldn't be saying huh? Doordash we ain't got no doordash orders sorry. Then I pull up to the window and they say pft we ain't had no doordash orders. Then she shuts the window. I wait a sec there like wtf.

then i hear them on the mic with another doordash person coming through and her going " UGHHHH " before turning the mic back on and saying pull around to the second window. Opening the window and saying " out machine wasnt printing the orders. It's gon be about 35 minutes" to me... for two chicken sandwiches ....

I wait ahead of the line, waiting the 10 minutes required for the unassign button and see 6 cars filter in and out getting their orders while me and the other doordash guy sat pulled up front with no service.

This is such a common theme I'm not even surprised anymore.

Why are restaurants allowed to treat doordash orders as second or third priority when our orders come through long before new customers who are clearly making their order as they arrive?

I wanted to share my web serial, Chaotic Feedback - Daxos Spiraling,
which just passed a major milestone on Royal Road.

If you’re tired of the usual teenage protagonists who instantly master magic because they're the "chosen one," you might find Daxos a breath of fresh air. Daxos is an Army Vet, A Father and Sr. warehouse supervisor who gets caught in a multiverse-wide system collapse. He doesn't want to play the hero, he doesn't want to build a kingdom—he just wants to rescue his son, Jack, who is trapped in a time-frozen stasis void.

Here is the pitch:

• Logistics & Physics Over Standard Spells: Because of his 10 years of active duty military service (aviation operations and mechanics), Daxos treats magic like a data stream and an engine. When he secures a back-door Command Line Interface (CLI) to the system, he doesn't just cast spells—he writes scripts. He builds a telekinetic particle accelerator out of a blighted mace and flying daggers, treats monster harvesting like breaking down damaged warehouse pallets, and approaches volatile boss cores like unexploded ordnance (UXO).
• The "Anvil" Subversion: Bypassing the standard GUI forces the sterile system interface to wake up. The result is a snarky, self-aware internal co-pilot named ANVIL, bound to him by mutually assured destruction.
• Real Stakes and Permanent Consequences: The system isn't a game. The power scaling is brutal. Daxos suffers massive "input lag" when his mind outpaces his physical body, and his squad pays for their victories in blood. We're talking permanent scars, severed limbs, and a protagonist who has to figure out how to rebuild a broken team without standard fantasy plot armor.
• The Vibe: Think Dungeon Crawler Carl style cynicism meets the visceral, hard-hitting tactical combat momentum of classic R.A. Salvatore dark fantasy.

I’ve put a massive amount of effort into custom HTML/CSS visuals for the system prompts on the platform, and I’m commissions-deep into character art to bring the squad to life.

Here is the main character, Daxos.

I'd love to hear what you guys think about a protagonist who uses an active duty, spreadsheet-driven mindset to hack a fantasy world!

** Addition from mod suggestion **

I wrote Daxos based pretty heavily on my self. So, I am also a 10 yr army vet and father of one.
I'm also a warehouse supervisor.

** Ai usage **
Some of the art is created by AI , Some of it is work I commissioned. Currently shown here only the Vaelin image is AI generated. I create the designs I want through Ai then submit them to my artist who creates what I'm asking for based off these images.

No Ai writing -
As far as writing, A.I didn't help write the story at all. You should find it extremely obvious, very quickly that A.I didnt write this story.

Coding:
I did use Ai multiple times on some of the more complex HTML/CSS codes due to how much RR likes to sanitize code and I couldn't figure out a way to make it work the way that I wanted.
I could have figured it out my self, but it seems like a waste of time when AI could resolve the issue in 1.3 seconds.

Any other questions or concerns, Please let me know!

I'm still somewhat new to Sleep Token. But I've been listening to them somewhat non stop for about 2 months now. I can appreciate all of their music, but there's only about 11 I keep on rotation.

However, These 11 Songs I've been listening to on a rotation with a handful of other artists while I work on writing my books. I've probably Written around 100k words or better listening to their music. It's the way their "slow-burn" dynamics, rhythmic pacing, and emotional depth engage the brain's focus centers. The contrast of soft, ambient melodies and heavy breakdowns acts as a grounding background that prevents distraction and triggers creative flow. I've already published the first 41 chapters of the book online and Its actually doing surprisingly well for a first time, no named author so I think I owe some thanks for Sleep Token helping keep my brain wired to keep writing.

How many others find themself creating more art while listening to theirs?
