According to a Vice report, due to a loophole in the DoorDash application, drivers on the platform are making much more money in an effort they’re calling #DeclineNow Movement.

However, when that situation became a reality, the burger chain said that illegal delivery would damage the brand’s image. The company claimed that it is hard to maintain quality control over the process in that case.
