It's unusual for us to order food during weekdays, but today is an exception.
Hubby's employer gave him a $30 DoorDash gift card because he's part of the team that completed an important feature in their app. Today for lunch they
had a townhall of a sort where the CEO said thank-you and congratulations to
everyone involved.

| 2x KFC Famous Chicken Sandwich Ultimate Box Meal |
As for me, it's yay for free food. We decided that since we're forced to use a
delivery app (DoorDash), we should only order from big chains that can most
likely afford the exorbitant fees.
I love KFC from the Philippines and Malaysia, even China, but I've always said that the KFC here is subpar. I would have no idea if they changed their recipe in
the last 12 months, but my last two KFC orders were unexpectedly delicious.
We both ordered KFC Famous Chicken Chicken Sandwich Ultimate Box Meal. I got the spicy version of the chicken sandwich while hubby got the regular one. I loved it! The buns are soft, the sauce was spicy, the chicken has a bit
of crunch on the outside and juicy on the inside, and there are pickles to cut
through the fat.

I chose poutine as a side while hubby had French fries. I also got the seasoned corn while he got macaroni salad. We both ordered Brisk Iced Tea, but
got 7-Up instead, which is disappointing since we don't drink carbonated
beverage.
Update: I got DoorDash Credits.
I ordered Brisk Iced Tea and received 7-Up. I sent a message to DoorDash informing them of the mistake. I wasn't expecting a lot of credits, at most,
like $5.00 or something. However, I got $38.01 DoorDash credit in my account. I sent a chat to their customer support to make sure it's not a computation mistake. Below is the transcript.
Tarun r (4/15/2021, 3:20:23 PM): Hi! My name is Tarun. Give me a few seconds
to pull up your account info
Me (4/15/2021, 3:20:28 PM): Thank you.
Tarun r (4/15/2021, 3:20:37 PM): Hi, thank you for contacting us! Glad that
you chatted. I'll be more than happy to assist with your concern today, and
apologies for any inconvenience!
Me (4/15/2021, 3:20:51 PM): I just got an email from DoorDash issuing a
credit for $38.01
Me (4/15/2021, 3:21:18 PM): I don't mind getting the credit, but it seems
too big
Me (4/15/2021, 3:21:39 PM): Our only "complain" was we got 7-Up instead of
Iced Tea and we don't drink carbonated beverage
Me (4/15/2021, 3:21:50 PM): But I didn't expect to get such a big credit
Me (4/15/2021, 3:22:05 PM): Could you please check that the amount is
correct?
Tarun r (4/15/2021, 3:22:44 PM): Yes, I can see here we have issued credits
to your account in the amount of $38.01 for the inconvenience. These credits
are available immediately and will automatically be applied towards your
next order.
Me (4/15/2021, 3:23:04 PM): Yes, I see that and thank you. However, why is
the amount so big?
Tarun r (4/15/2021, 3:24:30 PM): Our system decide that.
Tarun r (4/15/2021, 3:24:45 PM): If there's anything else I can help you
with, please let me know.
Me (4/15/2021, 3:25:09 PM): No. I just want to make sure you, the Dasher,
and the Merchant didn't get screwed over by a computation mistake
Tarun r (4/15/2021, 3:25:53 PM): Don't worry, Doordash will take care of it.
Me (4/15/2021, 3:26:43 PM): Okay. Sounds good. Thanks, Tarun!
