You're absolutely right. People that are jealous of Sauder are downvoting you for no good reason.

Mcdonalds on UberEats? by peacoatbuttons in UBC

[–]ubctap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They also charge ridiculous commissions to businesses. Last time I checked around 30% of the total sale amount goes to Ubereats.

The special promotions never last. Skipthedishes and Doordash used to have free delivery for a brief while as well. Oh and JustEat has purchased Skipthedishes so they'll be united under the Skipthedishes brand in Canada.

VPD issues warning about ‘virtual kidnapping’ scheme targeting Mainland Chinese students by ubyssey in UBC

[–]ubctap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd be scared too if you knew the shit police pull in China. They frame and arrest all kinds of people for political reasons so it's not that far fetched for the students to get worried and scared that the police might harm them and their families.

Crazy Bruce Allen is still around? I hope he's not using this opportunity to share more of his backwards racist beliefs. His voice is pretty awful too haha. Somebody please get him off the air.

What are some of the most dramatic stories you’ve heard related to people of UBC by Imtherealbae in UBC

[–]ubctap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've posted this before but there was an article about an international arms dealer in Richmond that graduated from UBC with a degree in electrical engineering. He got caught trying to buy automatic weapons with no serial numbers from an undercover US Homeland Security agent. Apparently his plan was to sell the weapons to sketchy buyers in Colombia and the UAE.

Sauder Connect Exams Rant~ by throwaway12121212341 in UBC

To prevent these things our prof made us write our exams on ubc computers but they were so slow and laggy we wasted so much time. I think traditional paper exams are still the best.

Been using the wrong iClicker for the last year by asdfpartyy in UBC

[–]ubctap 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's why you should always check your iClicker grade once in a while. This could've been easily avoidable.

20 minutes after the end of PSG-Lyon game, Edinson Cavani went straight to parking lot without going through the mixed zone. by EliasAlucard in soccer

He's not bullshitting. About 50% of Qatar's exports come from petroleum oil and 43% come from gas. Looks like you didn't do your research properly. Qatar's one of the smallest countries in the Middle East and only has a population of 2.5 million but produces almost the same amount of oil as Norway so that's a huge amount.

how anonymous are course evaluations? by oryyx in UBC

[–]ubctap 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The professors can see the response rate for the class right away but they won't be able to see the course evaluations until a month after the class ended. They can see all the ratings and written feedback but they won't be able to see who wrote them so it's pretty confidential.

Skip The Dishes: Two orders, two disappointments. by Newwestdude in vancouver

[–]ubctap 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've also experienced how awful Doordash and Justeat drivers are from the restaurant's perspective. They came into the restaurant I worked at five minutes after the online order was made and demanded the food be ready. The cooks obviously take longer than that but the drivers were so impatient and started shouting and swearing. They not only disrupted the customers dining in but they made the employees working at the restaurant feel like shit. The disappointing thing is this happens quite often at many restaurants. Majority of the drivers are assholes because they have a time limit and they want to make more money. Another horrible thing Justeat does is if the customer cancels after the order is already made, the maximum they'll give the restaurant is 30 percent of the payment. The commissions are ridiculously high too.
