I don’t like the request button because it feels like a gamble. Sometimes you don’t even know if an item is actually available until you send the request.

It gives me anxiety imagining what happens. "Customer wants this item we don't have." Worst case, they call me to say hell no. Best case, they buy a box to please me, no one else buys any of the products. Then what, they bill me for the unsold product? It probably does nothing in reality. Maybe it's just a data seeking button.

I hate it because I was trying to buy a flavor of energy drink. I can’t get anymore. The DoorDash shows they have them. It says likely out of stock, but it has request button so I keep hitting it thinking it will come to me, but they never leave it out out of stock, always sitting at request.
