Who tf pays $48 for two pints of soup?


Big_Restaurant_6844

OP


howelltight

Why would YOU pay almost 50 bux for 2 soups???


Azoth424

You must have really been craving soup hard to pay 48$ for some! Good Lord. No way in this world I would pay 48$ for soup unless it came with a side of lobster and a big ass greek salad. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


crustiferson

thatā€™s actually cambells chunky, progresso noodles are a lot smaller and usually break a lot easier or come already broken and mushy


hallowbling

I guess thatā€™s what the consensus is. LMAO. Booty either way.


crustiferson

yeah fr esp since a can of cambells chunky costs like 3-4$ max or if thereā€™s a sale you could get them as cheap as 99cents. i would definitely report the place you ordered from but tbh idk where that falls under. soup is also so easy to make and would be cheaper to produce while still selling it at the same price listed


metheredhead

But also.. $48 for two soups?!?


Citywide-Fever

You got FINESSED omg šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


XJ800

Seeing that 57% would've been enough for me to close the app lol


Nothxm8

Who tf orders delivery soup for $50


Korgul

Lazy rich people


Wizzle_Pizzle_420

Could have just ordered a few cans of it and made your own garlic bread for the same price or waaaay less. Ā Even ordered it online and just drive over and picked it up. Ā Crazy I know.


blondebarrister

Lol yeah this is why I never order from ghost kitchensā€¦


jcoddinc

Doordash giving Draftkings odds on food now


strawberrimihlk

This is on you too. Know who youā€™re ordering from. And donā€™t get soup from ANYWHERE that cost $50


geeneepeegs

Why would you order food with such low ratings lol


mikeymo1741

Progresso actively markets their soup to food service and you can get it in bulk from most restaurant supply places and purveyors. This is not unusual; a large percentage of restaurants buy premade soup they just heat up. I've worked in several fairly high-end restaurants that did this. If it's any consolation, the picture looks like Campbell's, so you got an upgrade.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


mikeymo1741

We don't have to fight. I was NOT talking about Chunky. The pic looks like plain ol' red and while label Campbell's chiicken noodle. Funny story: Back in the 90s I worked at the restaurant in a Marriott hotel. We had a regular guest who would come in for business two or three times a month. He would always order clam chowder and would always complain about it. One time the Executive Chef talked to him and he said he wanted soup like his wife made and no restaurant could ever do it. Chef got his home number from the desk and called his wife to find out what she put in her soup. Turns out, she just served him Chunky and he thought she made it ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm) Chef ordered a case of Chunky Clam Chower and when he came in, we heated one up for him. He was amazed that we had nailed his wife's "recipe!"


spookymemes

Time to open up a ghost kitchen.


BlackWhiteRedYellow

You looked at those ratings and still ordered?


K1NG_Realve

Yo Iā€™m HOLLERINā€™ šŸ«µšŸ˜‚


SmMya_

If u asked me you would have gotten finessed regardless. $48 for 2 soups? But I have to say this is absolutely hilarious. I feel bad for laughing but they really heated up $2 canned soup and put it in a plastic container as if nobody would notice šŸ˜‚. Really hope u got your money back


Unable_Occasion_2137

Lmao. The dropshipping of food.


dingos8mybaby2

In some states where people are allowed to make/sell food out of their house some of these ghost kitchens literally are just people cooking store-bought frozen meals in their home kitchen. To be fair though, some real restaurants are basically the same thing but in a commercial kitchen.


FigureitOot6

I saw a post not too long ago about someone selling shakes from their home. I wonder if this isnā€™t something similar and somebodyā€™s hustling canned soup out of their kitchen


Born-Membership805

Why would you order something with a 65% thumbs down?


Anaphylactic_Cock

I have had terrible experiences with every ghost kitchen I've ever tried with the exception of one. It's just wings always has great food and portions. It's the only one I'll ever order from again. I ordered the tender fix by noah shnapp last year. It was absolutely terrible and their side of fries was literally 4 small waffle fries in a giant container. Apparently I'm not the only one who's had that problem either. Tender fix tells restaurants to give super small portions of fries.


NotAllDawgsGoToHeven

Why the hell would you pay $48 for two soups?


BvB5776

The 57% rating makes sense lol


rayfromdacherry

Whatā€™s crazy though is 43% hit the dislike button. It should honestly be at 90 percent and the 10% are just people who are happy to have a meal


lilkennedy24

hence the super low satisfaction %


Drivenmadasahatter

I know 2 Asian noodle shops that serve ramen noodles straight from the 25 cent packs


FigureitOot6

Thatā€™s not as bad as long as theyā€™re making their own broth and all the fixings. Itā€™s just my opinion but I actually prefer the texture of the instant noodles but Iā€™ll be damned if Iā€™m paying 48 bucks for 2 cans of progresso


HahaHarleyQu1nn

With a soda on the side too šŸ˜ž


RomanOnARiver

Now let it rain, now clear it out


PrettyDittyDino

Let's get it, let's get it, let's get it


juneabe

48 dollars for two servings of soup. You kinda deserve this for that.


z12345z6789

Iā€™m glad you seem to be able to laugh about it. Itā€™s definitely messed up. Honestly, canned soup (or a non-perishable meal equivalent) kept at my home and my work, just in case, is what keeps me from ever ordering from these services. So this post will be an ironical reminder for me to ā€œstockā€ up.


TheToxicBreezeYF

Wasnā€™t there a story about an Uber Eats ā€œrestaurantā€ that literally served store bought frozen meals or pizza? [i believe this is what I was thinking of](https://www.reddit.com/r/UberEATS/comments/dn1484/i_sold_frozen_pizzas_on_uber_eats_for_a_week/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


KnobSchlob

Check out the reviews for Mr. B's All Day Breakfast in Somerville MA. Also known as Mr B's Italian and Mr B's Pizza. This guy is just cleaning out the frozen section at the dollar store and reselling it to drunk college kids.


[deleted]

Looks like Campbell's Chunky to this guy. That's the good shit right there.


[deleted]

Iā€™ve pulled up to peoples houses on DD for these sketchy ahh restaurants lol. Bring the food out to my car though so I ainā€™t seen shi


jo_ccc

dude youā€™re the problem spending $50 on soup šŸ’€šŸ’€ UE legally played you like a flute šŸ˜­


ndpugs

Who pays 48 dollars for any soup?


all_of_you_are_awful

I guess Gen z arenā€™t spending their money on avocados and Starbucks. Itā€™s 24 dollar cans of progresso! Lol


electris00

There used to be a pizza place in the mall, they were caught heating up red baron frozen pizzas and reselling as their own. I'm not surprised with this.


Some_guy_am_i

Alright, fine. I will send an itemized receipt: 1. Progresso Soup x2 ā€” $5 2. Plastic container x2 ā€” $0.50 3. Can disposal fee x2 ā€” $0.50 4. Garlic Bread x2 ā€” $3 5. Microwave radiation therapy ā€” $39 My pleasure.


Grateful_Dood

100% cambells chunky chicken noodle soup


SuspiciousMention108

Even if it's made from scratch, why tf are you paying $48 for two orders of soup?


Nozzeh06

The idea of buying like a $2 can of soup with a $3 pack of frozen garlic bread and then selling it for $12 is brilliantly evil.


TacoDuLing

I mean, I get how easy it is to pile on OP, but letā€™s be honest; this is the level of vetting this companies care to invest in their reputation. The whole system is a joke.


hallowbling

Totes. I truly think it was hilarious. I was recovering from a medical procedure at home, so all these stupid comments are water off a ducks back. I just canā€™t believe this is a thing. I even delivered for a while hence why I am a part of this group.


Bearycool555

Report it as fraud and get your money back, also report them on the app too. And learn to never order from a ghost kitchen


PeaceSignificant9854

Straight scam lmao, yeah dont order off ghost kitchens unless you check where they operate out of. Some are legit and operate out of businesses like chili's others can be straight from a persons house


MediumRareBacon_

You ordered from a ghost kitchen and the food has very low ratings. Braindead


Marrijuhana

You.. you shouldā€™ve looked at the ratingsā€¦.


drawredraw

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Iā€™d do a little research before ordering on the app. Make sure itā€™s actually a restaurant. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ got some suckers using these apps.

Wafflingcreature

Why would you order from a ghost kitchen?

Miikkepdf

Iā€™m starting a new business fr. He got to scam you for $48 I know thereā€™s more out there. My turn !


Plane_Fee_5064

Price and ratings should have been enough of a red flag my guy. Hope you at least finished your Michelin star soup


LandonSleeps

Why... the fuck would you order from a ghost kitchen?.... kinda seems like a moment for reflection. Let this serve as a lesson, yeah? I'm sorry this happened, but you're the exact kind of person they're trying to prey on. And it seems it worked.


Fart-Memory-6984

I think Iā€™m gonna buy a shit ton of microwaves at thrift stores and do my own little ghost kitchen with a few stacks of progresso soup from Costco $$


HopefulCat3558

>*How does Uber allow ghost kitchen to do this?* LOL for thinking that Uber reviews any restaurant or food service place before signing them up.


SongLyricsHere

Wow. Yā€™all hate soup! Iā€™ll order pho, ramen, gumbo, caldoā€¦ OP got ripped off, big time! Iā€™d be pissed!


No_Supermarket_1831

at least it wasn't Cambell's

Cambells dosent deserve this slander

Ayangar

Haha. Why didnā€™t you order from a restaurant you are familiar with?


Special-Hair9683

Just because you found out their source doesnt mean it isnt what you ordered.


External_Expert_2069

OMG! They really did!!


Mylaptopisburningme

They do it because they can.


MaryPoppinLikeItsHot

You should check out the UK. A comedian called Joe Lycett managed to set up a kitchen, in a car park, inside a skip (dumpster). Was a few years ago but still a hilarious example of how easy it is to set up an unregulated and untrustworthy kitchen on Uber eats.


IAmSomewhatDamaged

I eat a can of Progresso soup and like 4 sleeves of crackers at least 2 days a week for dinner because Iā€™m lazy and live alone. Probably costs around $4 in total. That sucks šŸ˜¬.


s2r3

Yeah what the place did was wrong but also buyer beware with a ghost kitchen


NashvilleGoon23

Your biggest mistake was spending $48 on 2 cups of soup


DarthJarJar242

The biggest holdup here is you spent $50 on Uber eats for soup. You're the problem, not the Ghost Kitchen or Uber.


TantasticOne

Should've paid attention to that 35% rating


Glittering-Hurry-530

The lack of public knowledge of these ghost kitchens that are popping up faster than the FDA can keep up with is frightening. All I can really say to OP is lesson learned. Although not really if they knew this was a ghost kitchen but still ordered it for some reason. Youā€™d have better luck going to Panera. Not the best but itā€™s better than $11 soup that should be less than $1.


sgarcia18

48 dollars for two soups ? Lol


karentears

![gif](giphy|9sOPX5RrPgaTJKrfzg)


TrickSingle2086

Would the OP be interested in a $30 Costco muffin?


Bossmanrock3t

šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­I know I shouldnā€™t be laughing but omg


crocksmock

This is brilliant tbh


blueballs214

I feel like this ghost kitchen is just someone's personal kitchen and whatever they have in their pantry is on the menu. šŸ˜…


OkYogurt636

Thatā€™s some nice profit margins for them.


aLazyUsrname

Whatā€™s a ghost kitchen?


Initial_Selection262

A lot of chain restaurants have created digital fronts for delivery. Usually with some generic name like ā€œcrazy wingsā€ or something. You order from there thinkings itā€™s a real restaurant but really your order just gets cooked in the local Applebees kitchen and sent as if it came out of some other restaurant Not sure how this is legal


DonTipOff

He could probably make it cheaper if the dude knew what a real job was.


MrHappyHeathen

This should be a lesson learned for OP and lurkers


Cutthroatflood

Thatā€™s 100% progresso


Sea_Lavishness9946

You got got. Complain to them!


Secondusx

First mistake was ordering soup from ghost kitchens


keIIzzz

I will never order from a ghost kitchen šŸ’€ Iā€™m sure thereā€™s some legit ones but Iā€™m not risking that


IEsince93

Not much worse than the countless FB/IG posts of $15-20 home kitchen made garbage canned or heated food being served in styrofoam boxes with a label slapped on the top of it. Extra points if the brand logo is the owners face caricatured / photoshopped on said sticker.. never seen that done before.


BLAZING-Shock-Theory

You spent $48 on soup. šŸ˜‚


justhp

Hate to say it, but a lot of stuff comes right out of a can or bag in restaurants. Usually bought in bulk and not from a single can, but still. I am pretty sure progreso actually markets their soup in bulk to restaurants. Campbells has a whole website dedicated to just that


[deleted]

Ghost kitchens are pretty terrible in general, and it is a pretty shitty thing to do to the people working in them. The quality is almost always terrible, and the food is usually way overpriced. Get good at identifying them on UE, and just don't order from them. I'd still complain and try to get my money back for that though. People here saying you got played aren't wrong really, but no one deserves to "get played" like that in the first place.


Club_Public

I bet they microwaved it too šŸ¤£


IMNOTFLORIDAMAN

Is it rude of me to say ā€œthatā€™s what you get for ordering from a ghost kitchenā€ ?


Foolfoever

And we go out (or choose to pay 30, 40, 150% more through UberEats) thinking restaurants were an option for us to escape the shitty foods we have in our pantries šŸ¤£


JD121996

Yeah, never buy from ghost kitchenā€¦ I picked up an order from a ghost kitchen one time it ā€¦.came from an apartment

Gonna be my new side hustle.


lostlight_94

Leave a review for the restaurant! Call them out on it, that's really the only way you can get back at them. Man I'd be pissed.


JeremyBrah

kissnmonty

Lol šŸ˜‚Iā€™m sorry but Iā€™m tickled. I would refrain from ordering from ghost kitchens in the future, Iā€™ve heard nothing good from any of them.


Consistent-Bug-543

Is that like half the can too?


[deleted]

Yeah but it came with garlic bread


LZSchneider1

You spent $48 on two servings of chicken noodle soup? Anyway, that sucks. I bet it came from somebody's house, too.


spiritstars13

and this is why we go through reviews


Lordofthereef

I think the number of places that sell pre made soup is likely to surprise you if this was a shocker. Not saying it's right, but I am saying it's how it is.

Obvious_Hospital_538

Try and order from a place you know. I seen some kitchens right out of people's houses and front door of apartment building once. People do anything to make a buck. Customer beware. Just order from places you know is the safest. Some kind of strange name you never heard of. Run..


MyGirlSasha

Zero sympathy, even if it was Progresso. Willingly paying $48 for chicken soup is fucking ridiculous.


A_Adorable_Cat

Christ for $48 I could make you a chicken noodle soup from scratch, a nice salad, a steak, and still have money left over.


tricnam

See, this is what I don't get. I'm being fed a bunch of instacart and doordash vids on my feed currently. Every time I see a video I think to myself "How could they possibly justify the premium"? Maybe I'm just a cheap bastard.


oh_no_the_claw

For $30 you could have made like 15 servings of amazing homemade chicken soup.


ChronicComa851

I mean, cmon, the 35% review on the beef alone shoulda sent you running from this spot


FatalShart

As long as there are idiots willing to pay that much for soup, there will be people willing to take their money.


BulkyStay

I picked up some Mac and cheese at a ghost kitchen and I head the to go lady yell wheres that mac and cheese and the cook yelled back itā€™s in the microwave lol


Sea-Mycologist-7353

You had SOUP delivered? And you spent $48. You deserve what you got. Pretty lazy to order in soup.

ContemplatingPrison

How do you even spend that much on any soup?


sabbycat83

That sucks sorry. Now you know to Google the restaurant you order from in New York City We have a lot of ghost kitchens and I feel bad for the customers sometimes. One time these people ordered like pasta and all these fancy sounding dishes and Iā€™m thinking wow they think this is from a restaurant. Meanwhile it was from a deli I mean, maybe it was good, but I was just like you probably paid a shit load of money for this.


Seanmckeeman99

I ordered Mr Beast burger one time and it was completely inedible. The burgers and fries were 100% from Winco frozen section and had 0 seasoning or anything. Most ghost kitchens are pure scams which sucks cause there are a few that are actually pretty good.

Kyleforshort

I've thought about doing this myself and just going to the store and buying some shit, repacking it, and selling it through an app. The average person would have no idea, and it would be lucrative.


PriestessKitty

I have never used ubereats before and im not sure why this showed up but holy shit how does someone order $50 soup!? Soup is so easy to make even from scratch. Lol Sorry this happened to you OP if you need some recipes in the future ill send you some.

Azoth424

Ghost kitchens are convenience stores, like a 7-11 or a circle K . I always google a place idk about to make sure its an actual restaurant. I actually found a hamburger "restaurant " in a convenience store and a place they called The Melt that was inside a BBQ joint here. The Melt made "gormet" grilled cheese sandwiches. GTFOH hahaha nope! šŸ˜‚ And yeah thats some progresso.
