$0 TIP LOL as usual, rich people are so stingy.

I only accepted the order because the base pay was decent, guess no other driver wanted it.

I have a real soft spot for customers who write insanely detailed instructions like this. I fully expected this woman's house to be, like, set back under a copse of willow trees with a huge cottage blocking it entirely from view.

...It was not. It was, as she said, just a couple steps further down the driveway.

But the directions WERE helpful, because it was dark out & the mailbox on the street said 109. I probably would've spent some time wandering confused between houses before I realized hers wasn't just an outbuilding of 109.

I'm sorry nobody knows how to bring you your Dunkin' like a sensible person, ma'am 😭 Godspeed.

(She tipped.)

Idk what's going on

I started dashing recently, maybe less than 2 weeks ago. Well, today I had my first report. I picked up an order which the instructions for delivery were “leave at lobby”. As soon as I entered the business, the woman sitting at the front desk said “Oh hi!”, reached for the order and I asked if it was for her, which she confirmed. Instead of taking a picture anyway, I just pressed “handed it to customer”.

I usually always take a picture, but it happened so fast. She looked like she recognized the order, confirmed it was for her. It was also a small business that I ordered to.

Maybe 30 minutes later I received a report. The customer said the food was never delivered. Obviously I don’t have a picture, but I’m sure they’re able to see that I was close to the delivery location.
I disputed the report and explained what happened and I’m just waiting for it to be resolved. Hopefully my account isn’t deactivated, since I just started.

What I really wanted to do was go back there and question the woman, because either she stole the order or she is trying to get free food not caring about someone else. But I know it’s not worth it or safe.

Did that happen to anyone else?

Say absolutely not, and use reverse psychology…

Tell them last time they had you fill the drinks, the customer reported me for filling their drinks, and I got a warning from DoorDash that if it happens again, I will be deactivated & banned. They told me this is due to liability & me not having Food Handler certification.

I’ve used that like the past 5 Wingstop orders I got. Sure enough, the employee will give you a dirty look, but best believe they will wall to the machine & fill the drinks themselves.

One employee asked me how I got reported, I told him the customers selected drink was out on the machine, so I took a pic of the machine & asked them what substitute they want & how they like their ice, and the customer reported me for filling their cup.

Its worked every time, and its safe to say I will never fill a customer drink ever again.

So glad I am “platinum” - best believe I declined this

So today on one of my many deliveries, I had was the most interesting w the rudest and most miserable customer ever!

I can say, doing DD for a year now, I never went through something like this thankfully!

So I reached my destination, and the instructions said "leave at the door".

It did not say "ring the bell, text me, call me, or let me know you are here".

So I delivered it, took my pic, confirmed and walked away. I didn't even park in the driveway, thankfully!

This miserable, older fat (no disrespect to anyone), had the audacity to open her door and start yelling. Most of the time, when the customers open their door, they normally say"thank you, or hello/bye".

Well, not this one! She went on yelling how I should have rung the bell because someone can take her food. As I walked away, I apologized and said , that was not in her instructions and continued walking , as she continued to yell.

I called DD and told them what happened. I also told them to block me from ever going to her home.

It took everything for me not to curse her out. I do not mess around with my food being delivered or cooked, as someone could easily spit in it real quick!

Ppl let's get a clue!

I got a contract violation because when I went to the Sonic I was assigned, I was told by an employee there that someone else had picked up my order and so I obviously could not pick up the order they didn't have. I contacted support (a live agent, in fact) and had the order unassigned. I thought that would be the end of it, but then I get this message. I'm trying to dispute the violation, but how likely do you guys think it is that they'll drop it?

Mind you there was still like 4 more things I had to grab and she started yelling at me the second I substituted💀 I told her relax I’m not done shopping yet, I was also actively asking a worker to help me find the stuff… INCLUDING the original item she threw me some more insults and eventually she cancelled on her end

I accepted a chipotle order for the first time today because it was part of a stack. I usually do mostly shop and delivers so this was a first time pick up from this particular restaurant. It said it included a drink so when they just handed me the bag I said oh I think there was supposed to be a drink? The worker said oh we don’t see what the customer orders for drinks and just hands me a cup? She was like you can message the customer. I said I don’t know either because it just says drink? Is it a chipotle thing where you always fill the drinks yourself? I did eventually go back and look at the order and saw that she declined a drink on the order but DoorDash still said 2 drinks need to be picked up so problem solved. I just like to know for next time.

Okay...

So a few months back, I made a post voicing my concerns about MickyD's staff

who prematurely list an order as, "Ready for pickup" before the order is actually *ready.

A couple of fellow couriers here told me to start reporting it in the app when it happens since that is a breach of the contractual agreement between the merchant(MickyD's) and Doordash.

..

Update:

Last week, I started camping a completely different MickyD's and noticed that they were doing it even more rampantly than the other location so I immediately started reporting each incident. A total of maybe 4 reports with two of them occuring on the same day.

..

Man Listen,

It worked. Doordash must have hit them with a contract-violation because, for the last 3 orders that I've had with that location, I had no issues AT ALL .....

..

Realistically, I assume that it may have been a joint effort. I cant imagine that the other couriers whom pickup there were too pleased with the premature 'ready for pickup" shenanigans either.

Strength in numbers.

Ice cream was the size of my thumb

Can we add an option that shows our interest in the order, but for one reason or another it doesnt make sense. If another order heading that way was to be available we would then get priority to both orders. This would add a human touch to just the random algorithm that is currently running. Thoughts?

Hilarious amount of declines and still did well.

Is anyone in the West New York/ Hoboken area of New Jersey having issues receiving orders these past few days? Like I'm talking about HOURS of getting no dashes? I initially thought ot was an issue with my ratings because I got a 1 star which brought my status from Diamond to less than Silver! Dasher rewards status? ; but I reached out to dasher support and they excluded the rating and I got my Diamond status back but still no dashes. The only thing I could possibly attribute it to is the fact that the Police in West New York started cracking down on E bikers who don't have insurance and registration on Friday so maybe the merchants themselves reached out to Doordash and informed them of what's going on? I spoke to support; they say they don't see anything out of the ordinary on their end. Anyone else having this issue?

I started dashing in June. My area is usually pretty dead, but I realized this week it has been busy literally all day. I know it depends on the market, but is this happening to anyone else? Is this normal around this time?

DoorDash reactivated my account, then deactivated it again while I was working—second time in a row. Anyone else?
I’m a Dasher in Melbourne, Australia. This is the second time in a row that my account has been reactivated and then deactivated again. This time, it happened in the middle of working.
I’ve submitted another appeal with screenshots, but these repeated interruptions are very stressful. I need to earn money and can’t keep waiting without knowing whether I can rely on my account.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Has your account been repeatedly reactivated and then deactivated?
Did DoorDash explain why it kept happening?
How did you get it resolved, and how long did it take?
The app needs fixing if technical issues are causing these interruptions. I’d appreciate hearing your experiences and any practical advice.

Turned Gold last week and done 80 delivery since then in NYC Bk/Queens. Isn't there supposed to be weekly bonus? It's 5 pm and I'm getting nothing. Also how hard is it to get hours as platinum anywhere in NYC?

This afternoon, I woke up to move my schedule around a bit. I noticed it loaded properly at first, but once I tried to move around some times or schedule a new dash, it was throwing me an error. So I figured I'd uninstall and reinstall the app, guess not!

I have an S22 Ultra. This thing isn't new but it's certainly not ancient. Android 16, latest software update in September. The weird part though is that it's saying it's "Available on more devices" and proceeds to list the phone I'm using, but it won't remote install using that feature either (From this page or on my desktop)

Any advice, or anything I can do? I can just use a second phone and install the app on there in the meantime, but I'd like this to just work properly, like it did less than 12 hours ago...

Anyone know how I can get a car to dash with. I’m currently using my car but it’s giving me some trouble at the moment & I don’t want it to kill on me while dashing.

I signed up for a cool bonus through a friend

Seems to be added in my market while not fully finished? phone handling detection is insane, they need to fine tune it a bit before its in all markets

So for some context I deactivated my DoorDash on my own due to bad eating habits being made worse by having an account. For whatever reason I did not realize that by deactivating my customer account I would also deactivate my dasher account. I have filed an appeal and it’s been over a month with no resolution. I have called the support number multiple times and have asked for an agent or representative but the AI won’t let me through. I try to spell my email for them and they always get it wrong. I have an uncommon name which makes things worse. My phone number is no longer in their system it seems because when I call it says it can’t find my account. I can’t create a new account because my phone number is now blacklisted it seems. I am so distraught over this as my hours at work have been cut for the second time in the past two months and I cannot afford to even exist at this point. DoorDash was my only option for another job because I am a college student and can only work so many hours without jeopardizing my degree progress. I don’t know what I’m looking for, sympathy or help or anything at this point.

Daniel really upset this guy. But also not sure how you mess up an order so badly.
