It gets better:
On Wednesday, some of the people who posted about the gift card said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled. When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”
just a perfect encapsulation of tech under capital, "sorry we caused Hell on earth for a day, here's a defunct gift card".
Fucking LOL $10 can't even get you a coffee nowadays, wild.
yes sorry but we meant what we said we have issued one (1) ten dollar gift card to say sorry for the outage. we have emailed the code to this gift card to all affected customers. first come, first serve, don't say we don't love ya
*turns to assistant, murmuring under breath* hey, cancel that ten dollar gift card for me real quick
read the headline and thought this was a Hard Times or similar type of satire article
I just knew this was Hard Times when I read it.
presumably they have to preserve their real assets for the impending lawsuits and bankruptcy
Reminds me of when I signed up for that class action lawsuit against one of the credit monitoring companies. I was supposed to get a couple hundred dollars or something but ended up getting a year of free credit monitoring.
Monitoring that won’t protect you from itself lol
Yeah I didn't even bother after that
Shit like this pisses me off so much. A company has awful security and all your personal data leaks? Fuck all happens. A fucking game clip is leaked? Oh we gotta stop this from happening, arrest the boy!
Companies should have to pay through the nose for this shit.
if even the slightest punishment were given for data breaches AT&T would be in the 9th circle of hell right now
Omg it's serious 
Yeah I thought it was the onion when I saw it
between this and Michael Bay's skibidi toilet, I feel like reality is gaslighting the fuck out of me today
Is that per device or no
these mfers sent me this last night, i redeemed it to an Uber eats account i have only ever used a couple times, and then 20 minutes later i got an email that they revoked the gift card
Very "Give the nerd some cheetos and mountain dew for working overtime" energy.
It's ~~one banana~~ 8.5 million blue screens Michael, how much could it cost? Ten dollars?
