The Enshittification of Swiggy

How is this even news and a feature?? Lol I mean a person just can disable app notifications outright. Turning them back on manually won't break your back. Smfh.

You know it I know it but not the average joe. This way Swiggy makes it look like they are doing something for their muslim users. Brownie points to them because it's a win-win situation.

Yeah buy that would be a daily task though or how ever often they order.

Here it happens automatically as a courtesy. Nice touch
 
Some one may have mentioned this already but I don't think I've seen it before :bored:

Yes, if you don't have Swiggy Black/One, they will group orders, sometimes.
I do have swiggy one. Maybe that's why I haven't seen it before.

Anyway there was something that happened a couple days back

I was delivered the wrong order o_O

WTH do you do in this case. Told the delivery guy it wasn't mine.

Then got on their help system. Waiting for someone to connect. Few minutes later nothing as people are still busy.

Tried to cancel the order in hopes of ordering again only to be told cancellation charge was the full price of the order (!) Ok, won’t cancel then.

Sat waiting for the damn exec to reply and swearing. Bell rang and there was the guy with the right order.

I wanted to strangle him at that point. Just glared at him as he walked out. Finally swiggy gets in touch and exec says laptop wasn't working bla bla. I said compensation. She asked if I got the order. Yes. Thanked me for confirming and immediately disconnected.

No free coupon or discount for the unnecessary aggro. To be fair getting the wrong order rarely happens. But just imagine the confusion had the order been accepted by say a doorman or domestic. You'd be screwed.

Also you can only give feedback about the delivery person in stars only (no text accepted) shortly after the order is delivered and not later like you can about food and whether it was OK.

I’ve also noticed that after buying Swiggy One the same dishes are sometimes more expensive than what I used to pay. Maybe they think that since this customer can afford to pay for a subscription we should extract more money from them.

Has anyone else experienced this? Either their algorithm is ****ed or they’re willingly doing this. Will need insider information to verify this.

I've noticed this increase only with a particular dish at one restaurant. Another has price increases but I've to check whether its a normal increase or not.

Only way is to go to the restaurant and snapshot a current menu

That would be abusing the system. How are you any different from those guys then?
It's also a hassle because you will have to direct every delivery guy where to find your place. This is already a headache for me as GPS places my house across the road and one building up.

It's not a workable solution unless you live opposite this clinic/hospital

Swiggy charges 25% of order value + 18% GST on 25 as total commission (29.5 %) so what profits can restaurants make? They get more from restaurants and customers than the order total. Yet they don’t show profitability.
Deleting Swiggy and Zomato apps from my phone were the best things I did. Automagically lost some weight due to changed eating habits.
 
And on a "happy" note...Swiggy has increased minimum amount for free delivery to Rs. 199 from 149 on Swiggy one. Go figure. Platform fee has also increased and after all this they have the gall to ask 'tips for rider'.
