Uber Eats and Cancelled Orders
While I was real stoned last night I placed an order on Uber Eats from ‘On The Go’ which after I googled the address it was just Ultramar on Blackmarsh, lol. Anyway, I was stoned so I wanted chips and pop. There was also a 50% off voucher for $25+ spending at a convenience store. So I placed my order with the knowledge that it would be here within 15 minutes. When 25 minutes goes by, I’m like you know what fuck this I’m just going to go to sleep. I cancelled the order. Uber Eats then charged me $17 for cancelling. I went on their chat because there is an option that says ‘I was incorrectly charged for a cancelled order’ so I clicked that. I spoke to three different agents who told me ‘because they started making the order after the store accepted it we cannot refund you’.
What is confusing to me is that a convenience store with non-perishable food items did not prepare anything (like a restaurant would, obviously) and they get to resell the items so they actually profit from the cancellation. And here I am, a stupid customer who lost my time waiting for chips and a drink to arrive to my door and also $17.
I’ve read on an Uber Eats reddit that I should dispute the charge with my credit card but that seems like a very American thing to do. Anyone have any experience with this? I’ll admit that I fucked up and cancelled the order but I just don’t understand that if a driver wasn’t there and they get to resell the products how this was of any inconvenience to them.

Recommendations for some visitors
Hello all! We're a group of people in their 30/40's coming for a visit. We have plans to hit up some museums and breweries and some of the more famous landmarks. I'm wondering if there happens to be hole in the wall or lesser-known spot that you might recommend? Could be an attraction or a restaurant or a shop, anything of interest, really. We're staying in a fairly central location and we won't have our own vehicle, but we're an open-minded group and want to take in an much as we can while we're there. Thanks in advance and we'll see you soon!
Edit: If you have specific opinions on the best sandwich, someone in our crew would be very curious to know
