It just annoys me because I’m not going to order it and I’m abstaining from alcohol. But there’s always some “special deals” being advertised by UberEats on alcohol, as well as meat, dairy and eggs. It’s like they’re really sleazy and desperate to hawk these products.
This sounds like you’ve never worked in the industry or have any insight into this topic. Large companies like Uber absolutely do listen to customer feedback. And if you want it to hit their bottom line you can protest the use of their app until they change, make it a hash tag on social media and drive change by voting with your feet. You don’t need to whip out the lawyers. Lord above, not everything needs to be solved with litigation.
We’re not talking about tailoring advertising. OP stated these are recommendations based on the what he is buying at the time. These are offers. Have you never seen a two for one aisle at your local supermarket? Or special offers on alcohol? It’s not a random advert popping up asking them to buy stuff whilst booking a cab. At the simplest level we’re talking about a setting that says, don’t upsell or market me alcohol (because I may be recovering) or meat (because I may be vegan). That would actually be a selling point for their app and something they could put a positive spin on.
I genuinely think you don’t understand the problem space here by what your saying or the solutions you’re offering.
That’s advertising.
That’s targeted advertisement.
Businesses only listen to customers when it positively affects their bottom line, or when they are forced to do so by regulators.
It’s really not, mate. Do you think buy one get one free is advertising? Or we have an offer on alcohol today? Or 50% off all cheese?
You don’t have a clue.
Yes.
Yes, all of those are advertising.
Communicated offers to exchange goods are advertisements.
Well feel free to waste money on a lawsuit as OP suggested because you’ll fail so hard it’ll be funny. Then the courts can tell you it isn’t covered by advertising laws and you’ll finally learn.
I look forward to reading your court submission.
The cost for them to defend themselves will exceed the cost for them to implement an ADA compliant solution.
So feel free to start the challenge and let’s see the change. If you’re so confident then lawyer up, as they say. Force them to implement an ADA compliant solution if you think they’re in breach.
Then post the judgement where the court throws it out 😂.
The person you are replying to said nothing about the ADA. That was OP. I dunno why you’re bothering to argue with this person, you’re clearly out of your depth since it’s painfully obvious you don’t even know what advertising is.
They literally said this:
I mean at some point I just have to give up. Twenty years in the industry is clearly not enough for internet warriors. 🤷
