Just a hint to drivers, if you see a sign like this, don't go on that road.

237 Upvotes

Just that, you see half a dozen signs, gates and more signs later saying to fuck off the secured road. That means fuck off the road XD

Take the road that very obviously leads to a parking lot/loading area. just because the app says to go somewhere does not mean you turn your brain off and not read the signs. The app wont stop you from getting detained, not that is guaranteed to happen lol.

Was I wrong for telling my DoorDash driver to calm down?

• Upvotes

How else could I have handled this situation, my intention was not to make her even more upset.

I ordered food, when my driver got to my street she called me, immediately was raising her voice, she was at a red light and couldn’t figure out where my apartment was, saying she was on a dangerous street. I tried guiding her over the phone, but she kept talking over me, yelling, and eventually, I told her if she could please calm down. I know we all hate being told to calm down, so maybe that wasn’t the best choice of words. But I wasn’t trying to disrespect her. I was trying to help her find my apartment, but I couldn’t get a word in. She ended up hanging up on me. Not even a minute later she was in front of my apartment, but she was on the phone with I’m assuming DoorDash support saying I told her to calm down, that she wasn’t going to drive around in circles wasting gas, and that they needed to cancel my order. At that point I just went back inside I wasn’t going to argue with her about it. At the end of the day I do feel bad about it but what else could I have done differently?
For context, my apartment complex isn’t hard to find. There are only about 100 units, no gate, and it’s the only apartment complex on the street. Other than the fire department, there’s literally no other address on that street. It’s also not a heavily trafficked road, and I’ve never had an issue with other delivery drivers finding it. I’m not expecting anyone to magically know where every apartment is, and I don’t want a driver trying to navigate a phone call while driving unsafely.
But from my perspective, I was trying to help, but there is only so much I can do when someone is yelling from the second I answer my phone and just keeps talking over me.

The amount of times I’ve been hit on by women and even offered to come inside to drink with them or women coming to the door with no clothes is crazy.

If you read these post you would think it’s only men being creeps to the women dashers and I’m here to say it goes both ways, both genders have creeps 😂.

This is an alcohol delivery to a woman telling me to hit her up after I delivered to her.

I ordered Panera today, which is less than a mile from my house but I have the flu and so does my kid. We’ve been barely able to move today. My dasher told me she was waiting for my order, and I told her thanks and that she was a big help because we are sick. She put such a nice handwritten note on the bag saying that she hopes we feel better. Needless to say, she got 5 stars and I added more to the tip I already gave her.

So to Haley, and all the dashers that go above and beyond, thank you. I appreciate you.

Spam after Spam. DoorDash needs to fix with the spam Home Depot and Lowe’s Order. It can ruin someone’s day if you accidentally accept it and ruin someone’s completion rate/force them to do it. That can get them deactivated if they go under 90%

Why do you not read note?

Post image
• Upvotes

I mean the directions say to leave on one of two tables.
But why do 25% of the dashers leave it at the front door (our door opens outwards don’t ask me why I didn’t install it… )
Also who wants their food on the ground? Even sealed up.
I tip ahead but imma stop and only tip after cuz this is not deserving of a tip.

I have ask the 25% do you not read the notes?
When you walk up to a deliver and see a table and see a door what makes you think the ground is the best place to put this?

I understand yall are grinding and trying to make a living in this fucked up dog eat dog world and I tip well cuz I’m too lazy to drive my ass to the store my self. Glad I didn’t have a drink.

Paid $62 for groceries, got $0 of groceries

37 Upvotes

Realized I was short an ingredient for a birthday cake I was working on so I ordered it & a few other groceries. Delivery time was an hour. Two hours later, no groceries (no one had even started shopping yet). Three hours later, no groceries (but the app kept saying they were 3 minutes away). Four hours later, after many attempts to get ahold of the driver & customer service, I find out the driver has locked their keys in their car. With my groceries. DoorDash tells me they’ve cancelled my order but I can’t have a refund. Or my groceries. Only a credit. At this point, the birthday surprise is already ruined & I don’t trust them to bring anything in a timely manner so I don’t want to use their service again. So I guess I just paid $62 to have my day made as frustrating & disappointing as possible.

Tipping Etiquette

• Upvotes

Haven’t ordered delivery via DoorDash in a long time. Pregnant and too sick to get food so I’m breaking my no delivery rule. Restaurant is 7.6 miles away from me, which feels far, but don’t have a lot of options for Chinese craving. How much should I be tipping here? I have no frame of reference. I hope this is okay to ask here. Just don’t normally do this and don’t want to be an asshole.

Is it a possible/reasonable expectation to sign up as a Dasher today 10/20 and earn $800ish by 11/1? Just wanna know if I’m chasing a lost cause. Details inside

3 Upvotes

Emergency came up and I don’t have many options to get money sooner. Thanks in advance.

Assume:

- I’ve never dashed before, but no weird vehicle/criminal history that should disqualify me

- might take a day or two to get approved

- I can dash 10-13 hours each day

- busy downtown metro area (Orlando, FL)

- I have my own car (and gas is ~ $4.05)

- I don’t care about how brutal/annoying the job or customers are and I know it’ll be a bit rough on my car.

I appreciate any advice, but credit cards/payday loans/similar things of that nature are unavailable to me. Thus, I’m thinking of turning to DoorDash

No dasher was assigned for 45 minutes. I cancelled the order and ordered from elsewhere. I was charged $30 and now support says refund can’t be processed due to policy. Any advice ?

So i just lost my 20$ reward of my dashpass?

• Upvotes

Its the first time i get dashpass. Waited for a month for the 20 bucks reward they give you. Today is the day, Make an order from a restaurant and use my dashpass 20 bucks reward. Unfortunately the restaurant was in reality closed and therefore they give me a refund. However I can’t use my 20 bucks again. Contact doordash explaining the situation and they say tough luck and the best they can’t do is give me 15$. It’s mad unfair cause yes the code was applied but since the restaurant canceled the order nobody lost money but me with the reward. It’s absurd it’s almost like if they wanted to take advantage of you in that situation, so I basically waited a month for nothing. F doordash I’m never using that app again

Confused on door dash platinum scheduling

• Upvotes

Hello all!

I’m new here! I I need some help because I’m very confused on what’s going on… so before when I was a platinum Dasher, I did not have to worry about scheduling a single dash… I can just dash whenever I wanted and there will be no issues I would dash 6 PM to 11 PM Monday through Friday and then 8 AM to 11 PM Sunday and Saturday… now it seems that I just can’t do that…

Did something happen to the scheduling? Can someone please break this down for me cause I’m very confused on what’s going on?.

Question to drivers!

4 Upvotes

So I have a better understanding—if you get to a store and the wait line is long, are you able to cancel yourself as a driver and maybe leave it to someone else?

My situation was the place I ordered from apparently had a long wait time or needed more order prep time. The app stated that bc of this, my driver ran a different order instead. 35m added to the order, then I saw the driver p much went across town…to the point where with traffic, they’d be longer than 30m.

If this is the case, why not just cancel yourself as the driver and let another driver be ready for it instead? BUT I’m talking out of my ass bc I have no idea how the system works and I don’t want to think anything negative about the driver.

I wish sometimes I could just switch to pick up and get it myself in that case.

One DoorDash delivery per day?

2 Upvotes

I go to Starbucks almost every day. I notice a lot of DoorDash pickups while I'm there. I was thinking if I'm at Starbucks already could I just look on the app when I'm getting ready to leave for a delivery location from that SB that is a close drop-off for me? Ideally on my way home. Then I would just do that one delivery and be done for the day. Would there be any restrictions or obstacles to doing this?

Doordash charged me $78 and some change. I contact support and they say, not to worry you weren't actually charged and that money will be returned in about 5 to 10 buisness days. EXCUSE ME?! Its 3 days before payday and they made my account overdraft!! Isn't this illegal!? And then to just leave the chat!? Im literally fuming!! UPDATE: I've started a dispute with my bank as the transaction is no longer pending.. No longer using doordash. Good grief.
