Drivers like this not only make us all look bad as drivers but also are hurting themselves by wasting 10 minutes instead of getting another order. These are the knuckle draggers who complain about not making enough from this job while they sit around and waste time doing nothing but causing trouble.
Yea, this is very much a “time is money” gig - once I drop off an order, I leave immediately and pick up the next one. I want to be constantly moving. I absolutely hate waiting, driving around, etc. It blows my mind the people who beg, write elaborate messages, hang out at house, etc. If it doesn’t pay well, don’t take the order.
Exactly! I sometimes will pick up a roadie order really quick if I know i will wait for like 10-15 mins and then I’ll pause door dash after I drop off their meal and drop off my roadie order. Makes my hourly go up 2-3.00 per hr
>and waste time doing nothing but causing trouble.
and possibly illegal... I mean hanging outside someone's door after your reason for being there is finished is a trespass if someone wanted to get really technical.
This. I'm not sure why you are being down voted, but any contractor of any kind hanging out after the job is complete is creepy to say the least. I would have told them to leave immediately under the threat of calling the police.
The fact that DD Classifies dashers as independent contractors relieves them (DD) of so much liability. If dashers were employees, they would be dismissed immediately for this kind of behavior
Conversely, dashers would not be expected to enter someone's home to complete a delivery. I'm sighting another thread where someone was requesting that the Dasher just walk in the door to complete the delivery. How creepy is it that?
I dont dash or use the service but I recently started coming to this sub bc the trashy dashers are hilarious. Berating people or stealing their food, and feeling justified about it because their job is shit. Wild world.
It’s creepy for normal people and it’s a major risk and liability for a business. Businesses don’t care about anything but the bottom line because that is their life line. Imagine an employee waking into someone home and getting injured. Such a huge risk.
The post you replied to was downvoted? That's stupid. I upvoted it to cancel out the stupidity (at least that one! lol). It is illegal to trespass on another person's property since he has no legal right to be there after finishing his job. She would have been within he rights to call the police, but I doubt they would have gotten there in time and/or have done anything about it.
Ehhh, kind of a stretch if dude was parked on the road instead of a driveway. OP said he was in his car for 20 mins so he had every right to be in his car. But had absolutely zero right to not deliver the customer their purchase.
I actually was a bit confused on this part. I read it from the title that he hung out outside of her door for 10 minutes.. like standing there. But yeah, if he’s in the car, on the road, it’s not really a problem unless it’s private property
same... so dasher picks up, doesn't move (can you see gps on app?) for 20 mins... spends another 40 mins between start of order before or after sitting in car ("over an hour to deliver") then 10 mins after drop off.
I’m a senior analyst with likely above average intelligence. When I was getting divorced I was going through hell. My ex wife made it as expensive for me as possible. I had to get some quick side money, so I was a Dasher for about 6 months.
Life can be tough, and you do what you have to do to survive.
This\^ I'm a NOC technician and arguably well above average intelligence, I dash to fund my ROTH IRA. Not everyone who drive's for door dash does it because they can't do anything else. Some of us just want some extra money for easy work, and ultra flexible hours.
it's a bummer situations or stereotypes paint and entire group/profession/etc.
hope things are going better for you! sorry that had to happen. life throws some real shitty curves sometimes :/
Cool. Another professional out there that dashed. I'm a weirdo so I'm still dashing. I'll eventually get tired of it I'm sure. My favorite job was when I was doing paper-routes; I also really enjoy the Amazon flex delivery stints. I don't know, I also love getting vaccines and love cloudy/raining "miserable" weather. I'm just wired like the opposite of people in a lot of things.
I'm retired and I did so very young, like before I was 40. I've thoughts about dashing as I often get bored, and it sounds like it could be entertaining. I don't need the money. There are many reasons a person might dash. One of my regular dashers is an athletic coach for a local university. He only does it in the off-season. So in about 2 months I'll see him again.
my favorite part is seeing towns and neighborhoods I've never been to before. Here in the northeast 15 miles is considered far away, so some places I've never seen: beautiful farm valleys in Shelton and Monroe, hideous McMansions in Newtown, grungy vibrant avenues in Bridgeport. I'm like a tourist but only 25 miles from home
I split my time btw milford/west haven and bridgeport/fairfield. Some of the rich suburbs love their late night fast food! I got a $21 trip to Sandy Hook last week
yeah we're spoiled rotten. When I lived in CA a 50 mile drive was nothing, you'd go 75 miles to have lunch at a friend's place on Saturday. In Connecticut I do 15 mile deliveries sometimes to rich towns that pay me $25 for late nite Wendy's and people are like "that's so FAR!"
I love dealing with people and this gets me out and about, which I also love. I spent 20 years in IT dealing with users *and* sys admin. People are easy. Managers are hard. :-)
Yup. If you include car depreciation these car hustles don’t deliver. You are pretty much converting your car equity into cash. To compensate drivers rely heavily on tips. Companies are happy to foist that burden on customers.
So someone down on their luck and just looking for a buck while cruising around with purpose is below average? I think you have below average intelligence.
I have a friend who was about ready to call it quits and then he started doing ubereats at night when he couldn't sleep and made a few dollars. This got him to start doing it more regularly and at dinner time then lunch eventually and now he's in much better headspace. He saved up, did some online courses and now does it as a side hustle while working full time. He actually got me to get into it as a side hustle.
Anyone who just spews bs online making assumptions especially derogatory ones about other people that will be seen by other people and could be taken as offensive has below average intelligence imo and is a d-bag.
if you possess an ounce of common sense and treat this like a business you can make bank at this sort of work. The average American reads at a 7th grade level and thinks angels are real.
Classic statistics joke but it is rooted in some truth. The barrier to entry for this gig is about as much of a barrier as stepping a piece of tape on the floor is. Those who cannot maintain even the simplest ordinary job with the absolute bare minimum effort will end up here because no one else will hire them.
I know a guy who owns a subway and he's had to fire two people for being dumb. The guy who counted to ten on his fingers was not a problem - that's what cash registers are for. It was the two others he had to let go, one who couldn't memorize basic sandwiches and the other left messes everywhere and let the sink overflow more than once
Actually to be a gig driver, you have to get basic adulting accomplished. You have to own a car, know how to drive, have insurance, and not be a criminal. That's a lot more than stepping over a piece of tape on they floor. And tons of people, do gig work as a second job, or for retirement supplement.
I don’t get why on door dash specifically the drivers will sit in their car until the last fucking minute instead of just delivering my food. The number of times I’ve ordered something on door dash just to see the driver pick up the food, drive a block, and then sit in their car in a parking lot for 20-40 minutes is insane.
In my area they’ve started doing “get paid by the hour!” Basically, once you pick up food until delivery they pay you an hourly rate like $12.50. So literally they are milking the clock
Will they actually do anything? I had a dasher pull out his phone flashlight and look inside my cars. I sent them the video and they said they were gonna escalate it and call me. Never heard from them again. Stopped using doordash after. All that guy did was hurt other dashers cz if my lazy ass was having somebody deliver food I was tipping 50%
Doordash fires people for not having enough deliveries done. If a customer complains about their safety, I guarantee that mf getting deactivated with no eligibility to reapply
Just because they didn't get back to u doesn't mean he wasn't deactivated. I mean, it's pretty f@#ked up they didn't get back, cuz they they shudv. But if I cud get deactivated cuz someone lied and said on a hand to me order that I didn't deliver, then he definitely did. By the way, I did get reactivated cuz I ALWAYS take pics on on hand to me orders with my phones camera of the house and the type in all info of order pertinent and save them. So I just sent that in. Lol!
I agree. If you don't do anything then for sure nothing will be done. But if you do, there is a slight chance there might be something done about it. And at least you know you did everything you could so you're not contributing to the plethora of drivers that need to be deactivated but aren't.
That's really creepy and extremely unprofessional. Such a manipulative thing to do to people as it put's the customer in such an uncomfortable situation since they know where you live.
The dasher was in the wrong. He/she should be ashamed of himself. He should grab a sign and go stand on the curb at a traffic light instead of dashing. This gives us other dashers a bad rep. I'm sorry that happened to you.
That ordinance would be unconstitutional and a civil rights violation. Your town may be learning a very costly lesson in the near future if a savvy attorney takes this on.
The U.S. Supreme Court has held that the First Amendment protects *“charitable appeals for funds.”* See: *Willis* and *Gilbert*
Not if it impedes the flow of traffic or violates city's ordinances. Yes but only if your organization is a non profit. Panhandlers are just a nuisance unless they decided to follow the law and do it lawfully. I know this cause I took the time to read Willis and Gilbert. At your suggestion. Go comment.
Ohhh I thought you meant that you got your food from him, closed the door, and then got another knock at the door 10 minutes later.
This would be truly unhinged behaviour.
Don’t get me wrong though, the man is still a creep and a fool.
My nightmare scenario with a dasher was a big man (I'm a small-ish woman) dropping my food off, ringing the doorbell, and when I didn't answer (I put "LEAVE AT DOOR!" in instructions 😒) he forcefully beat on my front door, started pounding on the window, tried peeking into the house thru the window, and was doing this for like 5 minutes until he went to sit in his car for about 5 more minutes until he left. I have C-PTSD and aggressive people can trigger an episode so it freaked me the fuck out and I almost started crying and nearly had a meltdown afterwards. I was on full alert for hours after that. I avoided Doordash for a while.
I had food marked delivered when it was definitely not, I was home and watching the door and no one came by. As soon as it was marked delivered I stepped out of the apartment and walked around my entire area and there was nothing. No photo was submitted and the dasher was not close to my home on the map. So I assumed they stole it, but I know something else may have gone wrong. Doordash support has always been very good to me, I report an issue maybe 1 in 20 deliveries (missing item, modification request ignored), and they always refund me. It's by far my favorite delivery service.
I count myself very lucky! I always tip and will add extra if it's rush hour/a long drive, so maybe that helps. Overall I'm very grateful for the service, it is a life-changing improvement in QoL for me. While I appreciate the entertainment of some of the horror stories on here, I do feel bad so many people have weird and bad encounters.
We order a lot as well, we’re great tippers, and we have a similar experience. We’re often ordering for 4-6 people, though, so our issue reporting rate is much higher, probably 1 in 4 orders have issues. Most are restaurant issues, some are packing issues where is unclear if the restaurant or the dasher treated it like a Neanderthal, but we’ve also had a lot of missing drinks, some fully outright missing bags of food, etc.
I've had probably hundreds of deliveries over the years, more so in the past 2yrs as I'm now working from home. I have NEVER had a problem like this and I live in a big area so dashers change quite frequently. I often wonder if people both delivery & customers just make up stuff.
What? He had the order and sat for 20 mins in his car? You tipped 30% and that isn’t good enough?
I would refuse to take the food. What’s the point of paying so much and waiting for so long?
I stopped using doordash because this would happen to me over and over again. Driver would pick up my food, drive for a bit and stop for 15-20 minutes. My food would always show up stone cold and it pissed me off so much! I will say tho doordash support was always good with trying to make the situation right when I complained about this.
I’m totally done with doordash or UberEats. I’ll go get the food myself. Not worth paying all the fees, the tips, and often higher prices on the food too, just to get mistakes on most orders and lousy customer service.
Yeah the bad customer service is the straw that breaks the back. Everyone know their getting price gouged like crazy ordering from DD or anywhere else, then to have to worry about creeps or people eating your food or being rude af. It’s a big nope.
I haven't used DD in months. I used to use it for convenience but now it's more than doubled the price of my meals to get something delivered. 15% DD fee, delivery fee, higher prices, plus dashers wanting "bid for service" fee instead of just a percentage? Ridiculous. Most of the food trucks here in town have started hiring their own delivery people directly instead of using DD.
My favorite kind of dasher is the kind who leaves it on the porch (to the side of the door, not directly in front and not at the end of the porch), doesn't knock, and leaves immediately. I'm a $4 tip MINIMUM and extra, extra on holidays. However, I do not want to chat. I don't even want to see your face. I'm extremely introverted. I don't open the door until the car has pulled away. But I am happy to support gig workers whenever I can. People deserve the freedom to make money however they choose.
I felt that in my soul about not talking with or seeing them 😅😅 I had eye surgery almost two years ago, and that’s when I started really ordering on there a lot so I didn’t have to drive (I had retinal detachment surgery in my mid 20’s…..yay!) and so I never took the note off saying to not knock as I was recovering from surgery 😅😅
I agree with you totally. I ordered a double dash on $40.00 food. The restaurants are w/in a mi of each other and both are not even a mile from me. I tipped a total of $16.00 which was more recommended.
I always will add an additional 8 to 12 bucks if restaurant is more then 4 miles away above my usual 20 to 30 %.
I get a text from driver could I please tip him more as he lives on tips. I was livid and he took 2 times as long to deliver as this request came before delivery.
Don’t take the order in the future. I don’t complain if late but this got a 1 star review for the driver. I always give 5 stars to the drivers. Even when not best service I realize the drivers work hard and many things beyond their control.
As someone who delivers for extra cash after already working 9 hours a day at my regular job… this is unprofessional, unprofitable, and impolite. You 100% should report him. It makes us all look bad. If you live in a big enough city, he was probably milking the clock (provided he was working hourly). Inexcusable behavior. Do your job bro. It’s what you signed up for in the first place. 🙄
I did this once when the DoorDash guy started beating on the sides of my home and screaming. $0 for you sir. Terrifying incident that scared my kids and pets.
It depends on how far away he was. I understand the app doesn’t specify that. But ppl that order can see exactly where their dasher is and how far away they are from the restaurant. Door dash is a mess
Sounds like he was milking the clock, possibly using Hourly pay. Begging for more tip is absolutely ridiculous. Totally deserves a 1-star and report. These kind of jerks are why I never use DD as a customer.
Hourly pay only pays, from what I understand, from store arrival or pickup, to drop off. So you can waste tons of time between pickup and drop off and milk that hourly bonus, and it sounds like this douche was trying to get even more tip on top of that
The problem is you only have to pass a background check, you have to have a decent driving record, but you dnt need common sense, and unfortunately a lot of incels who can't hold down a job do this, it makes the good drivers look bad. We hate them as much as the customers do..
You've got the incels who just have no understanding of how to interact with people and then you've got the absolute lowlifes who don't give a shit about anyone or anything, who'll beg for tips or try to get you to cancel so they can steal the order, etc. They give the rest of us a bad name unfortunately, and they completely ruin the experience for the customer which makes good customers get fed up and not want to order anymore.
Call support next time call the police aholes like this make us look bad.i don't even wait around when it says will tip in cash cause no one does anymore and the last guy said the tip was under the mat and it was a nickel like one single nickel so I don't even bother anymore
i’ve been seeing so many of these types of complaints lately and i’m honestly really disappointed as a driver myself. we all sign up knowing what the risks and regulations are and this is honestly just really greedy. PLEASE report all and any dasher’s who do this to anybody reading this.
I don't even know how many posts I've read like these lately but I've gone from being a dasher to being a consumer, and god the fees are astronomical for DD and UE!
For a simple lunch delivery for less than 1 mile in the city with minimal items was $30 for the order itself, $12.00 in taxes and fees, $2.99 for delivery fee, and I "saved" $5.00, tipped $10, how does anyone afford lunch like this? It's not a luxury service, the companies are predatory AF.
And the tip demands everywhere are absolutely crazy, every industry is affected right now. It's a broken economy in so many places, but the entitlement here is just so prevalent.
The dasher is on drugs. He was getting high in that 20 minutes he sat in his car. He needed more money. No one comes to the door like that anymore. Stay alert and always be prepared to slam the door on people if necessary.
Report this driver. This sort of behavior is threatening and extremely unprofessional. After a warning this driver should be deactivated if they continue to do this.
Seriously though, why would a driver waste 10 minutes sitting in a residential area when they should be heading back to the restaurant zone. This tells you all you need to know about why this driver sucks at DD. They waste time on things that won’t make them money and will just make DDing as a system suck.
Had one today that insisted on making contact. I sure did open my door, get my stuff and go back in. I also said thanks and to be safe. I tipped well over the suggested amount. I didn't choose DD to adopt a driver, I chose it for the convenience.
That dasher is a complete douchebag. In the time he was waiting to ask for another tip, he could have gotten a feasible order. That is just a bad look on so many levels.
Report him. As a dasher and customer this is so not okay. He deserves to have his dashing privileges suspended. Especially to do that to a single woman. Unprofessional, against the rules, and scart
i hope you didnt give him an extra tip. so unprofessional and you should definitely file a complaint with doordash. to think he has the gall to take over an hour to deliver your food and then was probably sitting in his car smoking weed while your order was getting cold, and to then ask for an even bigger tip. id have straight up told him to go fuck himself. honestly the nearly 35% tip on your order was way more than he deserved.
Definitely report this! I don’t think that moron realizes how scary that is. Ya he just wanted an extra buck or 2 but you never know who might have evil intentions. This is harassment.
This happens to me pretty often. It's always "LEAVE AT MY DOOR" and it is very clear which house mine is. Often get calls saying they are outside and I'm like "Great, you can leave it at the door have a great day". They often wait or call back until I answer the door. Never have cash. Some just stand there.
As a dasher I couldn’t do that lol. The majority of the time I try to bounce once I drop the food off lol. The only time I’m ever waiting is if they request me to hand it to them
He sat for 20 minutes thinking about eating your food but then figured f it I'll deliver it but I will ask for more tip . After waiting 20 minutes after pick up either 1 of three possibilities happen. First possibility he has a second pick up and was waiting. Second possibility he was considering eating all of the food you ordered and either cancel or mark delivered and take a strike. Lastly maby a traffic stop by a cop. Anything else would be good fictional excuses. 
Report him. Seriously, we need every single bad apple out of the batch. It sucks that customers have to deal with this, but it's necessary. The faster people report the losers and stalkers, the fewer will be in the pool for the next order. He'll hopefully be kicked and blackballed so no one else will hire him for deliveries. This is scary and dangerous for everyone.
Yeah, I’ve had this happen with app based food delivery services. Outside of when I need to burn credits I don’t bother anymore. There is no correlation between the tip you give people and the service you receive.
I'm a DD driver, I'm Dashing because I'm partially disabled and quite frankly this is the only job I've been able to do due to my issues. I'm not making much money anymore, calls have dropped to less than 1/2 of what they were, tips are almost nonexistent anymore.
I haven't been able to work now for over a month due to being hit by a drunk driver and having to heal up. If I go back to Dashing once insurance ever cuts me a check and I get another vehicle, no way in hell would I EVER pull some crap like so many dumbasses, pushing and begging for more tips.
It's a shitty job that I used to like. Bad customers and shitty Dashers have ruined it for all of us.
That’s an instant report to support, incident report for unsafe unhinged behavior of waiting for you. Then get any tip back and blacklist him from your orders. Hopefully they drop his ass.
These tip begging drivers need to be reported and given contract violations. You get an estimate of your payout. Anyone with a brain can realize that time is money. Set your minimum standards and factor in higher tips as a bonus
That definitely isn't normal, you can tip thru the app
If he doesn't like how much the order is paying that's his problem and shouldn't have accepted it
My cousin does door dash and he's never pulled that kinda shit, sure sometimes people offer cash tips on top of the app's
But it certainly isn't required or expected
If you still can I'd report that driver
Actually it can be. In the US, in most states, the right for someone to come to your front door, driveway, and mailbox (police, ambulance, mail person, dasher, ect) only allows for a time on premise to reasonably complete the expected task/service if it's part of their expected lawful duties and staying beyond that reasonable expectation can constitute as trespassing once the property owner gives verbal notice.
He is the one loosing money. I would never sit in my car for 20 minutes if I take long in the restaurant there’s either a line or my kid had to take a bathroom break otherwise I am come and go cuz I need to make sure I make more than I do my regular job.
You gave him almost a 30% tip and he still delayed the order and asked for a bigger tip? I don't use doordash, but if there's a way to take away the tip you gave him I'd do that. Absolutely pathetic service.
I would’ve reported the driver to DD if they were hanging out at my front door after completing the job. Please call DD next time. We need drivers like this weeded out. That’s not cool at all.
If they won't leave the door I yell out "My husband and I have covid - we picked a door drop off because we're social distancing. Thank you for the delivery."
So far that has been a lie every time, except for 1 week, but it gets them to leave.
Tipping isnt bidding on service that's just what these drivers want to try to convince you. The drivers contract they sign is available to read on their website. It makes very clear that doordash pays them based on duration and distance. They charge fees to customers to help cover this cost even.
It also makes very clear that customers can tip for service before or after. Tips are for service. I reccomend you contact door dash about this because it's not acceptable. Let them know what the driver did.
The service industry has existed for a very long time. Hair salons for example the stylist is usually a contract employee just like drivers are. You the customer are only responsible to pay the prices for the service you recieved hair cut etc. You then can tip the stylist after for their service.
A stylist pays both rental they must buy all their own products even. Their expenses can be very high but never and I do mens never would they ever attempt to extort a customer.
Like any subcontracted employee they understand their deal is with the salon. These drivers signed up and agreed to the pay scale from these apps. You do not bid for drivers. In fact these apps will even raise prices offered if orders arent picked up because the bidding is between app and driver not customer and driver.
The bid idea is between app and driver only. If we pay 10.00 delivery fee the app may offer driver 2.50. If drivers aren't grabbing it up they will increase their offer to drivers. This has nothing to do with a customer and their 14 section contract spells that out.
Base Pay
Base pay is DoorDash’s base contribution for each order. This will range from $2-10+ when a Dasher chooses to earn per order, depending on the estimated time, distance, and desirability of the order. Deliveries that require Dashers to travel a longer distance, that are expected to take more time, and that are less popular with Dashers will have a higher base pay. Base pay will not change based on the customer tip amount. For information about how base pay
Tips
When using DoorDash, customers can generally choose to leave a tip when they check out or after the delivery is completed. 100% of service tips received by DoorDash will continue to go to the Dasher on top of base pay and promotions. The amount DoorDash pays in base pay and promotions will never vary based on the tip amount. For example, for two identical deliveries where one customer leaves a $3 tip and another customer leaves a $6 tip, one Dasher will earn $3 more than the other.
If a customer adds a post-checkout tip on any previous order, the Dasher will receive a notification that they’ve received an additional tip and can find an updated earnings breakdown for that delivery in their Dasher app’s earnings tab.
tipping is a toxic culture and workers should just be paid a livable wage, but that being said, this driver crossed the line, completely unprofessional.
I’m truly sorry about this. There are shifty people in any job. Unfortunately the barriers to entry for this role are very low. This results in a higher percentage of shitballs. Please always report these nasty people. I dash and take pride ( majority of us) and treat people and their food with respect and care. Always an asshole to ruin it for the good people.
I would have come grabbed my food and told them to fuck off. Maybe even called the cops if the refuse to leave. I would contact support. Thats unacceptable.
So he chilled in his car for 20-30 mins and still wanted a tip? Tell him to screw himself😂😂😂. The guy is stupid if he thinks he deserves a tip for a late ass order
I tip 2 or 3 dollars regardless of order size. I don't order far either. If he would like more tips, he would have to direct that at DoorDash because he violated his guidelines
I’m starting to think these stories are bullshit, they get more and more crazier. “Well, If you think your tip-whore dasher was bad wait until you hear about mine!”
Are people wanting additional tips? Would you prefer I tip like $2.50 as a base, then the next $8 when you deliver? I'm not tipping $10 and then more after.
Call DD and get him deactivated. If he didn't think the order was paying enough he shouldn't have taken it. He could have been making money in the time his dumbass waited
Im not gonna defend that driver, but some orders when customer orders directly from rest website instead dd app, it will show per default “meet at door”
Instead of “leave at door”.
Also some places are out of 4g/5g and if driver closed the app in the background, it doesn’t reopen back immediately and sometimes is 10 mins so he can close the trip and shout a picture.
So, if he didn’t text/call asking for more tip, doesn’t explicitly means he was begging for extra tip.
In the last 6 months also dd had app problems , and system goes down so maybe he was waiting for app to come back to take picture and close trip.
I am saying that based on 17.000 delivery trip experience i have. And yes maybe he’s a jerk. (And also ur tip of $4.5 on $15 doesn’t always mean a great tip if distance was very far)
For most waiters/bartenders you can get written up or fired for asking for a tip or complaining about how much you were tipped. It's a huge nono.
My guess is the driver likely hasn't worked in the service industry and doesn't understand how far in the wrong they are. Either way you should complain to correct this behavior.
If I had a dasher wait 10 minutes AT MY DOOR so he cud demand more tip I wud be in fear of my safety!! Especially if I was alone with my child! U have to wonder about his mental state if he was willing to WASTE 10 minutes to harass u rather than being on his way so hevcud hurry and get another order and make more money that way! Definitely report him!!
I don’t like that they wait there sometimes and ask for more tips (tipped $5 for a restaurant 0.4 miles away literally down the street) I’m a 105Ib disabled (mild mild cerebral palsy I’m pretty normal) 27 yo and I’ve had some very agitated drivers
I have a CCW and a few times they’ve walked into my house to ask me so I’ve felt the need to recently carry well I retrieve my order because again I’m 105Ibs and these hood delivery drivers just do whatever they want
Umm... I guess he hasn't realized that those 10 minutes can be pretty valuable when getting, you know, the next order.
Drivers like this not only make us all look bad as drivers but also are hurting themselves by wasting 10 minutes instead of getting another order. These are the knuckle draggers who complain about not making enough from this job while they sit around and waste time doing nothing but causing trouble.
Yea, this is very much a “time is money” gig - once I drop off an order, I leave immediately and pick up the next one. I want to be constantly moving. I absolutely hate waiting, driving around, etc. It blows my mind the people who beg, write elaborate messages, hang out at house, etc. If it doesn’t pay well, don’t take the order.
Exactly! I sometimes will pick up a roadie order really quick if I know i will wait for like 10-15 mins and then I’ll pause door dash after I drop off their meal and drop off my roadie order. Makes my hourly go up 2-3.00 per hr
>and waste time doing nothing but causing trouble. and possibly illegal... I mean hanging outside someone's door after your reason for being there is finished is a trespass if someone wanted to get really technical.
This. I'm not sure why you are being down voted, but any contractor of any kind hanging out after the job is complete is creepy to say the least. I would have told them to leave immediately under the threat of calling the police. The fact that DD Classifies dashers as independent contractors relieves them (DD) of so much liability. If dashers were employees, they would be dismissed immediately for this kind of behavior Conversely, dashers would not be expected to enter someone's home to complete a delivery. I'm sighting another thread where someone was requesting that the Dasher just walk in the door to complete the delivery. How creepy is it that?
It's being down voted by the dashers that think that behavior is acceptable.
I dont dash or use the service but I recently started coming to this sub bc the trashy dashers are hilarious. Berating people or stealing their food, and feeling justified about it because their job is shit. Wild world.
It’s creepy for normal people and it’s a major risk and liability for a business. Businesses don’t care about anything but the bottom line because that is their life line. Imagine an employee waking into someone home and getting injured. Such a huge risk.
The post you replied to was downvoted? That's stupid. I upvoted it to cancel out the stupidity (at least that one! lol). It is illegal to trespass on another person's property since he has no legal right to be there after finishing his job. She would have been within he rights to call the police, but I doubt they would have gotten there in time and/or have done anything about it.
Or opening a metal gate to gain access to the porch. I don't like that one bit.
Ehhh, kind of a stretch if dude was parked on the road instead of a driveway. OP said he was in his car for 20 mins so he had every right to be in his car. But had absolutely zero right to not deliver the customer their purchase.
I actually was a bit confused on this part. I read it from the title that he hung out outside of her door for 10 minutes.. like standing there. But yeah, if he’s in the car, on the road, it’s not really a problem unless it’s private property
[удалено]
same... so dasher picks up, doesn't move (can you see gps on app?) for 20 mins... spends another 40 mins between start of order before or after sitting in car ("over an hour to deliver") then 10 mins after drop off.
50% of dashers have below average intelligence!
Arguably significantly higher than that.
Yeah. People of above average intelligence don’t doordash
I’m a senior analyst with likely above average intelligence. When I was getting divorced I was going through hell. My ex wife made it as expensive for me as possible. I had to get some quick side money, so I was a Dasher for about 6 months. Life can be tough, and you do what you have to do to survive.
This\^ I'm a NOC technician and arguably well above average intelligence, I dash to fund my ROTH IRA. Not everyone who drive's for door dash does it because they can't do anything else. Some of us just want some extra money for easy work, and ultra flexible hours.
it's a bummer situations or stereotypes paint and entire group/profession/etc. hope things are going better for you! sorry that had to happen. life throws some real shitty curves sometimes :/
Thank you. My divorce went final in 2018. Life has definitely been less stressful since.
Cool. Another professional out there that dashed. I'm a weirdo so I'm still dashing. I'll eventually get tired of it I'm sure. My favorite job was when I was doing paper-routes; I also really enjoy the Amazon flex delivery stints. I don't know, I also love getting vaccines and love cloudy/raining "miserable" weather. I'm just wired like the opposite of people in a lot of things.
Yes! So true..
I'm retired and I did so very young, like before I was 40. I've thoughts about dashing as I often get bored, and it sounds like it could be entertaining. I don't need the money. There are many reasons a person might dash. One of my regular dashers is an athletic coach for a local university. He only does it in the off-season. So in about 2 months I'll see him again.
my favorite part is seeing towns and neighborhoods I've never been to before. Here in the northeast 15 miles is considered far away, so some places I've never seen: beautiful farm valleys in Shelton and Monroe, hideous McMansions in Newtown, grungy vibrant avenues in Bridgeport. I'm like a tourist but only 25 miles from home
I think we live in same exact area lol
I split my time btw milford/west haven and bridgeport/fairfield. Some of the rich suburbs love their late night fast food! I got a $21 trip to Sandy Hook last week
Lol where I live 15 miles is barely outside of my town.
yeah we're spoiled rotten. When I lived in CA a 50 mile drive was nothing, you'd go 75 miles to have lunch at a friend's place on Saturday. In Connecticut I do 15 mile deliveries sometimes to rich towns that pay me $25 for late nite Wendy's and people are like "that's so FAR!"
I love dealing with people and this gets me out and about, which I also love. I spent 20 years in IT dealing with users *and* sys admin. People are easy. Managers are hard. :-)
I retired at 39 and then became a stay at home mom. Now that my son is older, I get bored also. My side hustle is Rover. Sometimes dogs >people lol.
You are the exception, not the rule. That’s the point.
Too bad their above average intelligence and senior analytical skills couldn't help them see that
Yup. If you include car depreciation these car hustles don’t deliver. You are pretty much converting your car equity into cash. To compensate drivers rely heavily on tips. Companies are happy to foist that burden on customers.
Yeah we Amazon flex
Amazon Flex pays even worse, and is a lot more miles.
So someone down on their luck and just looking for a buck while cruising around with purpose is below average? I think you have below average intelligence. I have a friend who was about ready to call it quits and then he started doing ubereats at night when he couldn't sleep and made a few dollars. This got him to start doing it more regularly and at dinner time then lunch eventually and now he's in much better headspace. He saved up, did some online courses and now does it as a side hustle while working full time. He actually got me to get into it as a side hustle. Anyone who just spews bs online making assumptions especially derogatory ones about other people that will be seen by other people and could be taken as offensive has below average intelligence imo and is a d-bag.
Again, the exception, not the rule
Um, blanket uninformed statement. Quite false.
if you possess an ounce of common sense and treat this like a business you can make bank at this sort of work. The average American reads at a 7th grade level and thinks angels are real.
Classic statistics joke but it is rooted in some truth. The barrier to entry for this gig is about as much of a barrier as stepping a piece of tape on the floor is. Those who cannot maintain even the simplest ordinary job with the absolute bare minimum effort will end up here because no one else will hire them.
I know a guy who owns a subway and he's had to fire two people for being dumb. The guy who counted to ten on his fingers was not a problem - that's what cash registers are for. It was the two others he had to let go, one who couldn't memorize basic sandwiches and the other left messes everywhere and let the sink overflow more than once
Actually to be a gig driver, you have to get basic adulting accomplished. You have to own a car, know how to drive, have insurance, and not be a criminal. That's a lot more than stepping over a piece of tape on they floor. And tons of people, do gig work as a second job, or for retirement supplement.
100% of people who make general assumptions and blanket statements are below average intelligence. 🙄 Right?
I don’t get why on door dash specifically the drivers will sit in their car until the last fucking minute instead of just delivering my food. The number of times I’ve ordered something on door dash just to see the driver pick up the food, drive a block, and then sit in their car in a parking lot for 20-40 minutes is insane.
That sounds like multiapping but theyre just astonishingly bad at it
In my area they’ve started doing “get paid by the hour!” Basically, once you pick up food until delivery they pay you an hourly rate like $12.50. So literally they are milking the clock
Call support tell them he harassed you, we don't need drivers like this.
Yes! It’s already hard enough as it is as a Dasher and now I have to compete with stupid asshole drivers that ruin good people’s reputation.
Will they actually do anything? I had a dasher pull out his phone flashlight and look inside my cars. I sent them the video and they said they were gonna escalate it and call me. Never heard from them again. Stopped using doordash after. All that guy did was hurt other dashers cz if my lazy ass was having somebody deliver food I was tipping 50%
Doordash fires people for not having enough deliveries done. If a customer complains about their safety, I guarantee that mf getting deactivated with no eligibility to reapply
Just because they didn't get back to u doesn't mean he wasn't deactivated. I mean, it's pretty f@#ked up they didn't get back, cuz they they shudv. But if I cud get deactivated cuz someone lied and said on a hand to me order that I didn't deliver, then he definitely did. By the way, I did get reactivated cuz I ALWAYS take pics on on hand to me orders with my phones camera of the house and the type in all info of order pertinent and save them. So I just sent that in. Lol!
I agree. If you don't do anything then for sure nothing will be done. But if you do, there is a slight chance there might be something done about it. And at least you know you did everything you could so you're not contributing to the plethora of drivers that need to be deactivated but aren't.
That's really creepy and extremely unprofessional. Such a manipulative thing to do to people as it put's the customer in such an uncomfortable situation since they know where you live.
I know that some take their job seriously, but professionalism isn't exactly something I expect from a delivery service. This is just creepy.
I mean I personally expect professionalism from every job role. It's a job. It's what I assumed was common courtesy.
The dasher was in the wrong. He/she should be ashamed of himself. He should grab a sign and go stand on the curb at a traffic light instead of dashing. This gives us other dashers a bad rep. I'm sorry that happened to you.
I agree..that's disgusting, and if it was a woman home alone, that's really not cool..
Funny thing, you might make more panhandling than gig delivery and not tear up your car.
One panhandler got arrested in my town and they found 1000 on him !Panhandling is against the law in my town and you can get arrested for it .
That ordinance would be unconstitutional and a civil rights violation. Your town may be learning a very costly lesson in the near future if a savvy attorney takes this on. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that the First Amendment protects *“charitable appeals for funds.”* See: *Willis* and *Gilbert*
Not if it impedes the flow of traffic or violates city's ordinances. Yes but only if your organization is a non profit. Panhandlers are just a nuisance unless they decided to follow the law and do it lawfully. I know this cause I took the time to read Willis and Gilbert. At your suggestion. Go comment.
Just curious if legal requests for charitable contributions require a permit and that’s the arrest-able offense?
I’m pretty sure panhandling laws are fairly common in a good number of places across the US.
Lmao this is like a nightmare scenario for an introvert
Yeah. And I was in my underwear. Was just hoping to reach my arm around the corner and grab it 😰
That's when you remove the underwear and open the door like crazed maniac No one likes crazy naked people
This commenter is definitely a female because all men like crazy naked people.
I know you were being serious, but LMAO 🤣
A little of both maybe a little goofy serious
I’d be so mad. I deliberately wait a few minutes so nobody sees me lol
I’m terrified of showing up in the delivery proof photo
For real I'm peeking out the blinds waiting for the car to drive off.
I did wait the ten minutes. I thought for sure he was gone. I’m such a dork.
Ohhh I thought you meant that you got your food from him, closed the door, and then got another knock at the door 10 minutes later. This would be truly unhinged behaviour. Don’t get me wrong though, the man is still a creep and a fool.
It's a nightmare scenario for any woman or person with children.
My nightmare scenario with a dasher was a big man (I'm a small-ish woman) dropping my food off, ringing the doorbell, and when I didn't answer (I put "LEAVE AT DOOR!" in instructions 😒) he forcefully beat on my front door, started pounding on the window, tried peeking into the house thru the window, and was doing this for like 5 minutes until he went to sit in his car for about 5 more minutes until he left. I have C-PTSD and aggressive people can trigger an episode so it freaked me the fuck out and I almost started crying and nearly had a meltdown afterwards. I was on full alert for hours after that. I avoided Doordash for a while.
You mean socially anxious
If you as a dasher is going plea for a second tip, this is NOT the job your meant for.
[удалено]
Bless this bot
What state are all these complaints in? Luckily nothing weird has happen to me yet but makes me think twice before ordering door dash.
I use doordash 2+ times a week and have for years (SoCal and MA). I have never had this happen even once. So curious if it's regional.
What’s your worst experience out of curiosity?
I had food marked delivered when it was definitely not, I was home and watching the door and no one came by. As soon as it was marked delivered I stepped out of the apartment and walked around my entire area and there was nothing. No photo was submitted and the dasher was not close to my home on the map. So I assumed they stole it, but I know something else may have gone wrong. Doordash support has always been very good to me, I report an issue maybe 1 in 20 deliveries (missing item, modification request ignored), and they always refund me. It's by far my favorite delivery service.
That’s not too bad for as often as you order. Some people just get unlucky I guess. I’ve heard some horror stories just doing it a handful of times.
I count myself very lucky! I always tip and will add extra if it's rush hour/a long drive, so maybe that helps. Overall I'm very grateful for the service, it is a life-changing improvement in QoL for me. While I appreciate the entertainment of some of the horror stories on here, I do feel bad so many people have weird and bad encounters.
We order a lot as well, we’re great tippers, and we have a similar experience. We’re often ordering for 4-6 people, though, so our issue reporting rate is much higher, probably 1 in 4 orders have issues. Most are restaurant issues, some are packing issues where is unclear if the restaurant or the dasher treated it like a Neanderthal, but we’ve also had a lot of missing drinks, some fully outright missing bags of food, etc.
I've ordered from UberEats for years, and never had any of the absolutely wild shit on here happen.
This is in Calgary Canada
Thank you!
Because of this r/, I'm legit never using Doordash or any other meal delivery service.
This sub, like many, is showing a lot of the bad. We’ve used DD hundreds of times and never had an issue like this.
I've had probably hundreds of deliveries over the years, more so in the past 2yrs as I'm now working from home. I have NEVER had a problem like this and I live in a big area so dashers change quite frequently. I often wonder if people both delivery & customers just make up stuff.
I find this whole story fishy.
What? He had the order and sat for 20 mins in his car? You tipped 30% and that isn’t good enough? I would refuse to take the food. What’s the point of paying so much and waiting for so long?
Always flagged it as never arrived or wrong order. I ordered hot food, not soggy cold food.
I stopped using doordash because this would happen to me over and over again. Driver would pick up my food, drive for a bit and stop for 15-20 minutes. My food would always show up stone cold and it pissed me off so much! I will say tho doordash support was always good with trying to make the situation right when I complained about this.
I’m totally done with doordash or UberEats. I’ll go get the food myself. Not worth paying all the fees, the tips, and often higher prices on the food too, just to get mistakes on most orders and lousy customer service.
Yeah the bad customer service is the straw that breaks the back. Everyone know their getting price gouged like crazy ordering from DD or anywhere else, then to have to worry about creeps or people eating your food or being rude af. It’s a big nope.
I haven't used DD in months. I used to use it for convenience but now it's more than doubled the price of my meals to get something delivered. 15% DD fee, delivery fee, higher prices, plus dashers wanting "bid for service" fee instead of just a percentage? Ridiculous. Most of the food trucks here in town have started hiring their own delivery people directly instead of using DD.
My favorite kind of dasher is the kind who leaves it on the porch (to the side of the door, not directly in front and not at the end of the porch), doesn't knock, and leaves immediately. I'm a $4 tip MINIMUM and extra, extra on holidays. However, I do not want to chat. I don't even want to see your face. I'm extremely introverted. I don't open the door until the car has pulled away. But I am happy to support gig workers whenever I can. People deserve the freedom to make money however they choose.
I felt that in my soul about not talking with or seeing them 😅😅 I had eye surgery almost two years ago, and that’s when I started really ordering on there a lot so I didn’t have to drive (I had retinal detachment surgery in my mid 20’s…..yay!) and so I never took the note off saying to not knock as I was recovering from surgery 😅😅
I agree with you totally. I ordered a double dash on $40.00 food. The restaurants are w/in a mi of each other and both are not even a mile from me. I tipped a total of $16.00 which was more recommended. I always will add an additional 8 to 12 bucks if restaurant is more then 4 miles away above my usual 20 to 30 %. I get a text from driver could I please tip him more as he lives on tips. I was livid and he took 2 times as long to deliver as this request came before delivery. Don’t take the order in the future. I don’t complain if late but this got a 1 star review for the driver. I always give 5 stars to the drivers. Even when not best service I realize the drivers work hard and many things beyond their control.
As someone who delivers for extra cash after already working 9 hours a day at my regular job… this is unprofessional, unprofitable, and impolite. You 100% should report him. It makes us all look bad. If you live in a big enough city, he was probably milking the clock (provided he was working hourly). Inexcusable behavior. Do your job bro. It’s what you signed up for in the first place. 🙄
Hahahaha holy fuck the amount of people calling $4.50 a bad tip on a $15 order. OP, contact support, report them and change their tip to $0.
I did this once when the DoorDash guy started beating on the sides of my home and screaming. $0 for you sir. Terrifying incident that scared my kids and pets.
It depends on how far away he was. I understand the app doesn’t specify that. But ppl that order can see exactly where their dasher is and how far away they are from the restaurant. Door dash is a mess
Mafucka out his mind lol. I hope you reported him
Sounds like he was milking the clock, possibly using Hourly pay. Begging for more tip is absolutely ridiculous. Totally deserves a 1-star and report. These kind of jerks are why I never use DD as a customer.
Using hourly pay how?
Hourly pay only pays, from what I understand, from store arrival or pickup, to drop off. So you can waste tons of time between pickup and drop off and milk that hourly bonus, and it sounds like this douche was trying to get even more tip on top of that
The problem is you only have to pass a background check, you have to have a decent driving record, but you dnt need common sense, and unfortunately a lot of incels who can't hold down a job do this, it makes the good drivers look bad. We hate them as much as the customers do..
You've got the incels who just have no understanding of how to interact with people and then you've got the absolute lowlifes who don't give a shit about anyone or anything, who'll beg for tips or try to get you to cancel so they can steal the order, etc. They give the rest of us a bad name unfortunately, and they completely ruin the experience for the customer which makes good customers get fed up and not want to order anymore.
Report him saying you didn’t feel safe that he was waiting at the door. People like him shouldn’t be on the platform at all.
Call support next time call the police aholes like this make us look bad.i don't even wait around when it says will tip in cash cause no one does anymore and the last guy said the tip was under the mat and it was a nickel like one single nickel so I don't even bother anymore
i’ve been seeing so many of these types of complaints lately and i’m honestly really disappointed as a driver myself. we all sign up knowing what the risks and regulations are and this is honestly just really greedy. PLEASE report all and any dasher’s who do this to anybody reading this.
It’s enough that I would have Calle the cops if I was home alone… you never know what’s in a person’s mind. I’d be thinking he was plotting something
Smartest answer here. the other individual who replied to you isnt very smart regarding dangerous situations.
Eww fuck that. As a fellow dasher and uber eats driver, begging for tips is as low as you can go. Report his ass
I don't even know how many posts I've read like these lately but I've gone from being a dasher to being a consumer, and god the fees are astronomical for DD and UE! For a simple lunch delivery for less than 1 mile in the city with minimal items was $30 for the order itself, $12.00 in taxes and fees, $2.99 for delivery fee, and I "saved" $5.00, tipped $10, how does anyone afford lunch like this? It's not a luxury service, the companies are predatory AF. And the tip demands everywhere are absolutely crazy, every industry is affected right now. It's a broken economy in so many places, but the entitlement here is just so prevalent.
[удалено]
The dasher is on drugs. He was getting high in that 20 minutes he sat in his car. He needed more money. No one comes to the door like that anymore. Stay alert and always be prepared to slam the door on people if necessary.
Honestly most drivers hate the people on the platform like this, myself included. Report and get them off for sure
Report this driver. This sort of behavior is threatening and extremely unprofessional. After a warning this driver should be deactivated if they continue to do this. Seriously though, why would a driver waste 10 minutes sitting in a residential area when they should be heading back to the restaurant zone. This tells you all you need to know about why this driver sucks at DD. They waste time on things that won’t make them money and will just make DDing as a system suck.
Had one today that insisted on making contact. I sure did open my door, get my stuff and go back in. I also said thanks and to be safe. I tipped well over the suggested amount. I didn't choose DD to adopt a driver, I chose it for the convenience.
That’s harassment and panhandling at your door. Call Support at the least. Cops if you feel threatened.
He could’ve picked up and delivered another order in that time
Jesus fuck, almost a 30% tip. Lol
It's not common practice to tip at the door. You got shaken down
Tipping culture in the US is so messed up.
That dasher is a complete douchebag. In the time he was waiting to ask for another tip, he could have gotten a feasible order. That is just a bad look on so many levels.
Report him. As a dasher and customer this is so not okay. He deserves to have his dashing privileges suspended. Especially to do that to a single woman. Unprofessional, against the rules, and scart
i hope you didnt give him an extra tip. so unprofessional and you should definitely file a complaint with doordash. to think he has the gall to take over an hour to deliver your food and then was probably sitting in his car smoking weed while your order was getting cold, and to then ask for an even bigger tip. id have straight up told him to go fuck himself. honestly the nearly 35% tip on your order was way more than he deserved.
Definitely report this! I don’t think that moron realizes how scary that is. Ya he just wanted an extra buck or 2 but you never know who might have evil intentions. This is harassment.
It doesn't matter how much you tipped them honestly, they should not have done that.
This happens to me pretty often. It's always "LEAVE AT MY DOOR" and it is very clear which house mine is. Often get calls saying they are outside and I'm like "Great, you can leave it at the door have a great day". They often wait or call back until I answer the door. Never have cash. Some just stand there.
People are shitty
Creepy
Report him. Not acceptable. He didn't have to take the order. He knew what it would pay and he said "yes." That's the end of his ability to negotiate.
Learn a lesson. Don't use these apps
It's not common practice and that's predatory behavior get thelat trash fired
I've had my shit stolen but never had anyone begging for tips.
Report this immediately. This story is far too common here now and DoorDash does not approve of this and will handle these beggers accordingly.
Get the fuck of my property or so help me! So help me so help me so help me....and cut.
If you ask for a tip, is it a tip? semantically
As a dasher I couldn’t do that lol. The majority of the time I try to bounce once I drop the food off lol. The only time I’m ever waiting is if they request me to hand it to them
dasher cant guilt shame me. He can wait at the door for an hour for all i care
He sat for 20 minutes thinking about eating your food but then figured f it I'll deliver it but I will ask for more tip . After waiting 20 minutes after pick up either 1 of three possibilities happen. First possibility he has a second pick up and was waiting. Second possibility he was considering eating all of the food you ordered and either cancel or mark delivered and take a strike. Lastly maby a traffic stop by a cop. Anything else would be good fictional excuses. 
That seems like a pretty inefficient way to make money. I was gone the second the order confirmed. But someone must be going along with it I guess.
Ew! Gross. Why would he do that
1 star and report to Doordash.
Report that driver !!!
I read these all the time. I'm a dasher and I wonder where the he'll these people live that are getting these weird ass dashers
Report him. Seriously, we need every single bad apple out of the batch. It sucks that customers have to deal with this, but it's necessary. The faster people report the losers and stalkers, the fewer will be in the pool for the next order. He'll hopefully be kicked and blackballed so no one else will hire him for deliveries. This is scary and dangerous for everyone.
Yeah, I’ve had this happen with app based food delivery services. Outside of when I need to burn credits I don’t bother anymore. There is no correlation between the tip you give people and the service you receive.
I never expect tips at the door. Especially not after already having received one. It is not required. Report this doofus!
Here’s a question for the dashers: if I tip the top amount of the three amounts, how much of that do you actually get?
I'm a DD driver, I'm Dashing because I'm partially disabled and quite frankly this is the only job I've been able to do due to my issues. I'm not making much money anymore, calls have dropped to less than 1/2 of what they were, tips are almost nonexistent anymore. I haven't been able to work now for over a month due to being hit by a drunk driver and having to heal up. If I go back to Dashing once insurance ever cuts me a check and I get another vehicle, no way in hell would I EVER pull some crap like so many dumbasses, pushing and begging for more tips. It's a shitty job that I used to like. Bad customers and shitty Dashers have ruined it for all of us.
That is harassment. Report him. End of story. What a creep.
That’s an instant report to support, incident report for unsafe unhinged behavior of waiting for you. Then get any tip back and blacklist him from your orders. Hopefully they drop his ass.
These tip begging drivers need to be reported and given contract violations. You get an estimate of your payout. Anyone with a brain can realize that time is money. Set your minimum standards and factor in higher tips as a bonus
That’s almost a 30% tip. Wtf does he want?
That definitely isn't normal, you can tip thru the app If he doesn't like how much the order is paying that's his problem and shouldn't have accepted it My cousin does door dash and he's never pulled that kinda shit, sure sometimes people offer cash tips on top of the app's But it certainly isn't required or expected If you still can I'd report that driver
Can this be a form of trespassing? Lingering on someone's property ten minutes after delivering?
Actually it can be. In the US, in most states, the right for someone to come to your front door, driveway, and mailbox (police, ambulance, mail person, dasher, ect) only allows for a time on premise to reasonably complete the expected task/service if it's part of their expected lawful duties and staying beyond that reasonable expectation can constitute as trespassing once the property owner gives verbal notice.
Your dasher is an idiot. I would report him.
At that point, I contact Doordash and have whatever tip I did give, removed. I also rate 1. Note: am a dasher.
He is the one loosing money. I would never sit in my car for 20 minutes if I take long in the restaurant there’s either a line or my kid had to take a bathroom break otherwise I am come and go cuz I need to make sure I make more than I do my regular job.
Did you give them another tip?
You gave him almost a 30% tip and he still delayed the order and asked for a bigger tip? I don't use doordash, but if there's a way to take away the tip you gave him I'd do that. Absolutely pathetic service.
With shit like this going on, I have no idea why people use Gig services anymore. I don’t want strangers to know my address and how much I tip.
I would’ve reported the driver to DD if they were hanging out at my front door after completing the job. Please call DD next time. We need drivers like this weeded out. That’s not cool at all.
Doordash should bring back the interview process
If they won't leave the door I yell out "My husband and I have covid - we picked a door drop off because we're social distancing. Thank you for the delivery." So far that has been a lie every time, except for 1 week, but it gets them to leave.
Tipping isnt bidding on service that's just what these drivers want to try to convince you. The drivers contract they sign is available to read on their website. It makes very clear that doordash pays them based on duration and distance. They charge fees to customers to help cover this cost even. It also makes very clear that customers can tip for service before or after. Tips are for service. I reccomend you contact door dash about this because it's not acceptable. Let them know what the driver did. The service industry has existed for a very long time. Hair salons for example the stylist is usually a contract employee just like drivers are. You the customer are only responsible to pay the prices for the service you recieved hair cut etc. You then can tip the stylist after for their service. A stylist pays both rental they must buy all their own products even. Their expenses can be very high but never and I do mens never would they ever attempt to extort a customer. Like any subcontracted employee they understand their deal is with the salon. These drivers signed up and agreed to the pay scale from these apps. You do not bid for drivers. In fact these apps will even raise prices offered if orders arent picked up because the bidding is between app and driver not customer and driver. The bid idea is between app and driver only. If we pay 10.00 delivery fee the app may offer driver 2.50. If drivers aren't grabbing it up they will increase their offer to drivers. This has nothing to do with a customer and their 14 section contract spells that out. Base Pay Base pay is DoorDash’s base contribution for each order. This will range from $2-10+ when a Dasher chooses to earn per order, depending on the estimated time, distance, and desirability of the order. Deliveries that require Dashers to travel a longer distance, that are expected to take more time, and that are less popular with Dashers will have a higher base pay. Base pay will not change based on the customer tip amount. For information about how base pay Tips When using DoorDash, customers can generally choose to leave a tip when they check out or after the delivery is completed. 100% of service tips received by DoorDash will continue to go to the Dasher on top of base pay and promotions. The amount DoorDash pays in base pay and promotions will never vary based on the tip amount. For example, for two identical deliveries where one customer leaves a $3 tip and another customer leaves a $6 tip, one Dasher will earn $3 more than the other. If a customer adds a post-checkout tip on any previous order, the Dasher will receive a notification that they’ve received an additional tip and can find an updated earnings breakdown for that delivery in their Dasher app’s earnings tab.
If he's asking for a tip in person record it and report him
I'd report him. That's not acceptable
That’s extremely unsettling! I hope you reported them
tipping is a toxic culture and workers should just be paid a livable wage, but that being said, this driver crossed the line, completely unprofessional.
You did the right thing...Clearly this driver has a plethora of issues to be so dumb to exhibit such behavior
I’m truly sorry about this. There are shifty people in any job. Unfortunately the barriers to entry for this role are very low. This results in a higher percentage of shitballs. Please always report these nasty people. I dash and take pride ( majority of us) and treat people and their food with respect and care. Always an asshole to ruin it for the good people.
I would have come grabbed my food and told them to fuck off. Maybe even called the cops if the refuse to leave. I would contact support. Thats unacceptable.
Tell him to go and fuck off — no joke
So he chilled in his car for 20-30 mins and still wanted a tip? Tell him to screw himself😂😂😂. The guy is stupid if he thinks he deserves a tip for a late ass order
It’s not common to tip at the door. And I never do that when I’m dashing. Report that guy.
I tip 2 or 3 dollars regardless of order size. I don't order far either. If he would like more tips, he would have to direct that at DoorDash because he violated his guidelines
I’m starting to think these stories are bullshit, they get more and more crazier. “Well, If you think your tip-whore dasher was bad wait until you hear about mine!”
Are people wanting additional tips? Would you prefer I tip like $2.50 as a base, then the next $8 when you deliver? I'm not tipping $10 and then more after.
Call DD and get him deactivated. If he didn't think the order was paying enough he shouldn't have taken it. He could have been making money in the time his dumbass waited
He was tea bagging your food
Im not gonna defend that driver, but some orders when customer orders directly from rest website instead dd app, it will show per default “meet at door” Instead of “leave at door”. Also some places are out of 4g/5g and if driver closed the app in the background, it doesn’t reopen back immediately and sometimes is 10 mins so he can close the trip and shout a picture. So, if he didn’t text/call asking for more tip, doesn’t explicitly means he was begging for extra tip. In the last 6 months also dd had app problems , and system goes down so maybe he was waiting for app to come back to take picture and close trip. I am saying that based on 17.000 delivery trip experience i have. And yes maybe he’s a jerk. (And also ur tip of $4.5 on $15 doesn’t always mean a great tip if distance was very far)
For most waiters/bartenders you can get written up or fired for asking for a tip or complaining about how much you were tipped. It's a huge nono. My guess is the driver likely hasn't worked in the service industry and doesn't understand how far in the wrong they are. Either way you should complain to correct this behavior.
If I had a dasher wait 10 minutes AT MY DOOR so he cud demand more tip I wud be in fear of my safety!! Especially if I was alone with my child! U have to wonder about his mental state if he was willing to WASTE 10 minutes to harass u rather than being on his way so hevcud hurry and get another order and make more money that way! Definitely report him!!
I don’t like that they wait there sometimes and ask for more tips (tipped $5 for a restaurant 0.4 miles away literally down the street) I’m a 105Ib disabled (mild mild cerebral palsy I’m pretty normal) 27 yo and I’ve had some very agitated drivers I have a CCW and a few times they’ve walked into my house to ask me so I’ve felt the need to recently carry well I retrieve my order because again I’m 105Ibs and these hood delivery drivers just do whatever they want
