    I'm gonna be honest, Hello Fresh really betrayed my trust. I expect things to be delivered on the date I select, and they delivered it a day early on three separate occasions. Each time, I called them and told them that we had to cancel plans to be there for the food so it wouldn't get hot in the Florida weather, and they need to deliver on time, not early. Each time, they told me that it would not happen again. After the third time I told them it won't happen again because I'm quitting. Also, a lot of their veggies were barely usable, not super fresh. Sometimes they were so bad we had to replace them. Those who have good experience with Hello Fresh, good on ya, keep using it, but for those who don't have it yet, be warned and watch the quality of ingredients, because they need to be accountable for the FRESH part of their name.

      I’m sorry to hear that it does not seem to be all that great in the States - I don’t anymore since I moved about a year ago but I’ve used HelloFresh for a while in Germany and I have say I have always been very satisfied. Yes, once you run out of coupons it is definitely not cheap but for me delivery was (almost) always on time, ingredients (almost) always fresh and complete, and the selected dishes (almost) always pretty delicious. Definitely helped me through nights where I was too lazy to shop for ingredients and come up with something to cook on my own.

    • @Aevilbeast
      @Aevilbeast 2 роки тому +14

      @@rotaeugigerKoenig Why be satisfied for almost? Almost fresh, almost on time, almost delicious...Especially if you're paying top dollar? Doing that only reinforces businesses to never change or improve their practices. That's the thing with these subscription services, they rely way too much on people getting tired of complaining and just accepting the status quo and/or continuing their subscription despite not being completely satisfied.
      Because of the subscription model, most businesses like them really only care about getting as many people signed up as possible, and will make whatever claims/promises they need to get those people in the door...but usually have trouble actually pulling through on all their promises or don't care about treating their existing customer base once they acquire them.
      You can't expect perfection 100% of the time, that's a given with any service or business, but you should expect them to at very least deliver on what they promise. Since they already have your money, they don't have nearly as much motivation to follow through as a traditional business would.

    LOL imagine trying to use robots because they're supposed to be more efficient but they ended up screwing up your order. As a Singaporean, I'm actually against all these gimmicky places trying to replace humans with robots, it's not like the drinks are any better or cheaper but it harms the low income group in SG.

      If you are referring to the robots ‘replacing’ Low income jobs, actually employers are finding it extremely difficult to hire anyone willing to do the job, thus using robots as replacement. If there’s no robots, businesses will literally go bust which means more people unemployed. Offering a different perspective.

    Mike, you were 200m from a much better prata shop in Blk 24 Sin Ming Road. Don’t go during rush hour, go about 3-4pm when there’s no queue. Then they can slowly cook you a mutton or chicken murtabak. Try their mutton curry (the cube one, not the mince), and just the plain and egg Prata for fun. Also famous in the same coffee shop is kopi o and local charcoal grilled baguette with slabs of butter and kaya (jiam tao loh ti kaya guyou). People from the east come here to eat this.
