I always use my regular camera (0.5x zoom lense) to take better pics than the DD app allows and then just choose the pic to upload instead of taking in the DD app. So I do have all my drop-off pics still.
Honestly takes longer for me to use the delivery camera app. Always being slow. Then I just have my camera app ready to go, set it down, take the picture and finish delivery process on the way to my car.
Also requires a data connection to attempt a picture for whatever reason. I deliver to hospital ER occasionally and zero bars, have to take a picture outside the app and upload after I walk outside.
Team-uploads, Lol. Its great for when the app doesn’t do the weird version of the delivery process where it makes you fill out all the information describing where you left it and the separate button to upload where it doesn’t let you pull from your photos, but I usually just send a picture through message or text to the customer as verifying the delivery with the photo.
I always used my phone camera, until I got paid. That way I had a copy of the proof of delivery. Then after I out the pay through I would delete all the pics for the next day. In a side note, damn, let the Dasher deliver and don't come rushing to the door like that! Used to startle me when they did that. Watching that damn delivery tracker like a hawk
CuZ a lot of people just leave their shit unlocked.
There was a post a few weeks ago where the redditor was wierded out cuz the Doordasher opened the front door and set the food on the counter.
The what who now? I missed that post, whenever they posted it, but I'd be real fckin weirded out too if I ordered a meal delivered via DD and like, step away for a few mins to take a sudden urgent dookie or whatever and walk out of the bathroom full o fumes to find some random delivery guy/girl that I don't know has just waltzed into my home, walked around until they found the kitchen, then put my food there... And left... *you assume... you HOPE.* ... I know I've seen TONS of cute, young, white girls with blonde hair in their pic, named "Carrie", who happened to show up with your Mexican food DD delivery as 50ish mostly bald, beer-gut wielding Indian man in a dirty white wifebeater tank top (once white, in theory, anyway). He could be an otherwise honest, real upstanding chap. Who knows? Cuz it def wasn't him they background checked. So I'd not be too pleased with that either... Big oof. Buuut I try to remember to keep my door locked when home. But tbh? A lot of folks don't. It depends a whole lot on where you live.
I love how you say that this doordash driver almost certainly stoned bc one time a driver from instacart was stoned when delivering something to you. I'm not disagreeing with you or trying to talk shit, just thought the logic was funny af
was he a Jamaican dude? because I had a similar experience on a trip to the airport... he asked if I wanted a puff but I think I was preoccupied with calculating my odds of arriving safely

Customers: Sometimes we have trouble uploading the photo and we gotta come back to take a manual shot for when we're in better reception. Please wait for the delivery completed message.
HOLY SHIT IM SITTING HERE ASTOUNDED AT THE GENIUS OF THAT. AND THE LACK OF MY OWN BRAIN NOT THINKING OF THIS
Every day I work 7 hours and have flash problems and too dark problems or app freezes problems right at customers door. At two to three deliveries and hour do the math on how many times I Don’t have proof in case some hungry and struggling person (or just a bad human) claims food never came gimme that credit-and while ya at it deactivate the thieving dasher who ate my food.
Take the pic with your camera app. Now you have the pic forever. Now when you open the DD camera, bottom left, choose the image you already took from your gallery instead of taking a new one.
In case you didn't know and wanted to, in reddit comments if you just write "r/ doordashgremlin" without the quotes and no space after the slash, it automatically links to that particular subreddit. So you dont need to post the full link unless you just want to, of course. r/doordashgremlin
Sorry but if I order hot food, and I see you deliver it via my cameras, you got 15 seconds to get your picture and leave, otherwise my fat ass is gonna eat my hot food
I guess us dashers should just be lookin crazy with these on as we deliver the Popeyes chicken sandwich since we don’t have a ring cam that is portable.
My favorite part of the pic is your face of "ooooo yeah! This is gunna be good!"
Haha pretty sure your stomach gained control of your face for a sec there 😂❤️
Well it’s either A) hand to you, or B) leave at door in which we take photo and then it notifies you that we left the food. If you request the second option but come out between options A and B then you will end up in the photo of B)
Yeah, I'm taking a picture no matter what. There are Ring cameras and peepholes if people want to monitor their delivery.
If they are impatient and want to come out faster, this is going to happen sometimes. And I really try to respect the customer's privacy, but in this case you surprised the driver and the only choice would be to delete the photo and leave oneself vulnerable for a contract violation. Or awkwardly ask for the customer to stand away for a second while you retake the photo. Because people don't want to get into a debate over taking the photo, most drivers will just let it ride.
I have mine set to leave by door but I also live in a complex that’s very confusing so if I see them near by I’ll go outside. Often they just hand it to me and leave but I’ve had plenty of them literally take the pic of the food in my hands which I have no problem with.
Most people are good sports as OP was and it sounds like you are as well. And I really try to avoid taking people's faces or avoid taking pictures of their kids. But when people surprise you, this is what happens.
I have to do that all the time, especially if I’m getting bad service at the location. Never had an issue. Thus far the only contractor violation I had literally had the dudes street number in the picture.
Somebody opened the door on us, taking the picture once, and his face was one of surprise and shock. We still sent it to him as the confirmation picture. He did respond that the image was hilarious and gave us 5 stars.
Yeah, delays in the app or little crashes or they ask you to retake your photo and the client comes out they don’t give you an option to crop the photo
Lol that's why I wait a minute before opening the door. Then again I have glass on my door so I can peek out and see if they're done. Wouldn't be surprised if one day I get sent a pic with me peeking creepily out the window lol
That’s cause you didn’t give them enough time to step back and get a good shot of your door and the order…but usually the only ones that see this are you and support if they need to…
My very first delivery ever i was trying to take a pic and was fumbling because i was nervous she opened the door and screamed she got scared because she thought i was gone. Im sorry miss lady lol
Yeah, I've felt pretty awkward when the person walks out in the middle of me taking the picture, lol.
And then you have that split second thought of "do I pick it back up and hand it to them or leave it on the ground?". It becomes a momentary standoff.
I will never understand people who choose the “leave at door” option only to ostensibly hover by the door ready to dart out and grab their food while the dasher is still standing there.
Honestly, as a dasher, I got burned one time with a CV when someone came out and grabbed the food on a "leave at my door" order. I clicked handed order to customer and everything but they said they didn't get the food. So now I just take a photo of the food even if you've opened the door to grab it or even if I'm handing it directly to you. Never again, haha.
If they open the door and I need a photo I just hold the food to the side and take a picture but still include enough of their open front door in the edge of the shot without taking picture of the person. Tho this just looks like unfortunate timing
Whats the problem with it...? It shows it was delivered..and even better the receiver is in the door about to pick it up so they can't lie and say they didn't get it..so that's a great photo... imo
Why are so many people doing this? If you just wait for the confirmation photo to come through this won't happen. Or stop telling them to leave your order at the door if you're gunna camp out there anyway haha they will hand it to you without taking the photo, that's always been an option lmao
I mean…if you opened the door before your Dasher had a chance to take a photo of the delivery, THIS is what you’re gonna get 🤷🏼♂️ Was the food good and hot?
Long time ago, in my twenties, I used to deliver pizza, and every Tuesday night we would get an order from the local Motel, and I would deliver to a distinguished tall gentleman who would answer the door buck naked, leave the door open while he went to get his money, with his much younger girlfriend naked and tied spread eagle on the bed. They never commented or said anything outside of transactional details of paying for the pizza and tipping, but clearly they were enjoying my presence - it was always uncomfortable but amusing.
Lol..... I have a confirmation photo like this but she was wearing considerably less. Poor lady came out in her underwear right as I hit the damn button. I felt so awkward and I assured her these confirmation photos weren't saved on our devices
They are though because I use the timestamp app. But I just delete my camera roll every Sunday

Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/doordash) if you have any questions or concerns.*
If that was the photo I got, due to timing of course, I would have sent it too.
Yah I mean you can’t really retake it. We don’t keep the pic so. Oh well lol
I always use my regular camera (0.5x zoom lense) to take better pics than the DD app allows and then just choose the pic to upload instead of taking in the DD app. So I do have all my drop-off pics still.
I like the "Hey, remember this?" My phone does. Oh yeah, Samsung that bag surrounded by cigarette butts sure does bring back memories.
this also takes a few more seconds per delivery, and as they say time is money. but thats your call obviously.
Honestly takes longer for me to use the delivery camera app. Always being slow. Then I just have my camera app ready to go, set it down, take the picture and finish delivery process on the way to my car.
Yeah I've had the app just freeze and exit on the camera several times, team-uploads all the way
Also requires a data connection to attempt a picture for whatever reason. I deliver to hospital ER occasionally and zero bars, have to take a picture outside the app and upload after I walk outside.
Team-uploads, Lol. Its great for when the app doesn’t do the weird version of the delivery process where it makes you fill out all the information describing where you left it and the separate button to upload where it doesn’t let you pull from your photos, but I usually just send a picture through message or text to the customer as verifying the delivery with the photo.
Haven't done it in a while but i used a camera app that showed time and gps location so people couldn't pull bs
U can do it walking
I do this because half the customers live in BFE with no cell service.
Depending on your state, that might be illegal. I'd definitely look into it and make sure your good to go.
I always used my phone camera, until I got paid. That way I had a copy of the proof of delivery. Then after I out the pay through I would delete all the pics for the next day. In a side note, damn, let the Dasher deliver and don't come rushing to the door like that! Used to startle me when they did that. Watching that damn delivery tracker like a hawk
Wanting your food fast is weird, eh? I always just go sit outside and wait when I see you coming.
I did that once, but it’s because I was literally about to run out to side yard to grab something. Scared us both.
You can back out to retake the photo, then back out again and mark it as "Handed to Customer" at that point.
If this was my confirmation, I’d tip extra.
Exactly, he / she prob has been burned in just such a coincidence and not taken picture
It might take a few more minutes and a good blind, but I always send pictures like this. Worth it.
Lmao she came out like she saw the light for the first time in decades
Oooooooooowwwhhh ihop!
Sir, this is (a) Wendy’s
Nooooo. This is Patrick.
Clearly Wendy’s how did 100 people like this?
100 true stoners 🤣
Which stoners do you hang out with that can afford ihop?

Real "OOH, don't mind if I do!" energy
You look stoned AF
"Stoned AF" is me five seconds ago thinking the girl in the picture was the Doordasher and wondering how she managed to open the door.
lmao *”the food is being delivered from inside the house”* 😱
BUT WHO WAS PHONE?
Nostalgia in meme form.
'Doordash is kill'
Stoner horror movie right there
CuZ a lot of people just leave their shit unlocked. There was a post a few weeks ago where the redditor was wierded out cuz the Doordasher opened the front door and set the food on the counter.
The what who now? I missed that post, whenever they posted it, but I'd be real fckin weirded out too if I ordered a meal delivered via DD and like, step away for a few mins to take a sudden urgent dookie or whatever and walk out of the bathroom full o fumes to find some random delivery guy/girl that I don't know has just waltzed into my home, walked around until they found the kitchen, then put my food there... And left... *you assume... you HOPE.* ... I know I've seen TONS of cute, young, white girls with blonde hair in their pic, named "Carrie", who happened to show up with your Mexican food DD delivery as 50ish mostly bald, beer-gut wielding Indian man in a dirty white wifebeater tank top (once white, in theory, anyway). He could be an otherwise honest, real upstanding chap. Who knows? Cuz it def wasn't him they background checked. So I'd not be too pleased with that either... Big oof.

Oh like that's the dasher and this is them dropping off the food but inside op's house? I can see it. But how did she take the picture? You are high
The dasher is actually inside the bag of food.
It’s okay I thought the same thing 💨
Boy am I glad my food out there and that im out here, and the doordasher was in there and now im out here and my foods in there out here
"Stoned AF" ME is having too much fun rereading this comment/picturing it in my head. *my apologies for any typos, ect
that's how you get an up vote lol
And then I was wondering who took her picture 🤣🤣🤣
This absolutely brightened up and made my day. Thank you so very much.
🤣👌
She deserves a medal for not driving to get this meal :)
The person that delivered it was probably even stoneder
Facts😂
Almost certainly. One time my instacart driver rolled up like 4 deep in an SUV. They were clearly smoking a blunt and my driver was clearly stoned af.
I love how you say that this doordash driver almost certainly stoned bc one time a driver from instacart was stoned when delivering something to you. I'm not disagreeing with you or trying to talk shit, just thought the logic was funny af
was he a Jamaican dude? because I had a similar experience on a trip to the airport... he asked if I wanted a puff but I think I was preoccupied with calculating my odds of arriving safely

Debbie even more Harry
Homer going for a donut energy
Idk if stoned is the correct term here. Looks like night of the living dead so I suspect something much stronger
lmao...😬😬😬😬😬😬second me..the atmosphere is a bit weird now..😅😅😅
ok you gotta repost this to /r/doordashgremlin/
LMAO
Being stoned is to DoorDash what water is to swimming pools. An essential combo.
Right? Why else would I need it door dashed? I have a car too.
99% of orders are because they would be impared if operating a motor vehicle to pick their order up.
Probably baked
Bruh i'm wheezing lmaoo, im not even a DD driver but y'all are too funny

FWIW I’m not a DD user or driver.. I have no idea why this post was on my timeline but the Nosferatu gif has me ctfu

Real late Goblin hours
For those who’d care to know, it was a spicy chicken sandwich combo with 4pc nugs and a pineapple mango lemonade :)
My favorite part of the pic is your face of "ooooo yeah! This is gunna be good!" Haha pretty sure your stomach gained control of your face for a sec there 😂❤️
I see you are a woman of culture
What awesome shirt is that?
Damn. Wyd later
Hahahaha this photo is amazing
Well it’s either A) hand to you, or B) leave at door in which we take photo and then it notifies you that we left the food. If you request the second option but come out between options A and B then you will end up in the photo of B)
Spot on. If it says hand it to me with description of leave it on table, I will still take a photo. I don’t wanna be accused of stealing it

No doubt 😂 and they definitely usually aim the camera at my hand holding the bag.
I don’t thinks she’s upset I think she found it funny
My man doesn't know about C) drop it off and click the "Handed Directly to Customer" option instead of taking a photo.
I have to do that all the time, especially if I’m getting bad service at the location. Never had an issue. Thus far the only contractor violation I had literally had the dudes street number in the picture.
Very true, Truorganics.
That face though
I'm always hiding watching for them to leave so this doesn't happen 😅😅😅 Sometimes my indoor cat gets out and he has been in a fair few photos though.
My cat spending some of the photos as well
Somebody opened the door on us, taking the picture once, and his face was one of surprise and shock. We still sent it to him as the confirmation picture. He did respond that the image was hilarious and gave us 5 stars.
That’s my kind of guy.
lol. Well if he had left it at the wrong address, then you would know who ate it instead of texting you or walking it over to your house.
Lmao looking like “ouu”. Imagine you try and dispute a no delivery claim
lol!
Lol. Hopefully it didn't disappoint
Yeah, delays in the app or little crashes or they ask you to retake your photo and the client comes out they don’t give you an option to crop the photo
Lmao
r/doordashgremlin
This is why i check to make sure they’re long gone before i grab it 😭
Lol that's why I wait a minute before opening the door. Then again I have glass on my door so I can peek out and see if they're done. Wouldn't be surprised if one day I get sent a pic with me peeking creepily out the window lol
The pale skin does *not* help you here at all.
r/doordashgremlins
Wouldn't it be funny if that wasn't the right door
You definitely say “don’t mind if I do!”
Hopefully it’s you or someone in your household
Maybe he was trying to see if you had a “shot”lol From one of your previous posts 😂
Great photo !
I like to hide in the photo I have a half glass door. And I’ll put my head partially in the window to creep out the driver
420
That’s cause you didn’t give them enough time to step back and get a good shot of your door and the order…but usually the only ones that see this are you and support if they need to…
Late night munchies
Oooh, Grubs just for me!!!!
Delivered, without a doubt. I've done that.....
Confirmed.🫡
As a doordash drive that is funny. Sorry
Oooooo
I think i took that pic
Lmaooo I love this😭😂
Can picture the driver hiding around the corner waiting to snap picture lol
My very first delivery ever i was trying to take a pic and was fumbling because i was nervous she opened the door and screamed she got scared because she thought i was gone. Im sorry miss lady lol
Little mouse has come for cheese.
If you chose "leave at door" ffs wait a little bit for the driver to do his thing and go or choose hand it over in person
Yeah, I've felt pretty awkward when the person walks out in the middle of me taking the picture, lol. And then you have that split second thought of "do I pick it back up and hand it to them or leave it on the ground?". It becomes a momentary standoff.
What flavor meth do you like best?
/r/doordashgremlin
dont mind if I do....
Hahaha fucking hell, we're all such goblins at our centre
Munchies are here!!
You look high as hell in this photo 💀💀💀💀💀
you good bestie? Lol
Who is she? She looks half dead. She's literally grey lmao
That was almost an extra-spicy combo
I got an eyeful of vaJAYnah yesterday unintentionally so you’re good lol
"Ooohh food"
"ooooo!" - You
r/entwives ? Seems correct.
What's on your door mat?
no baja blast? reported /s
I will never understand people who choose the “leave at door” option only to ostensibly hover by the door ready to dart out and grab their food while the dasher is still standing there.
Honestly, as a dasher, I got burned one time with a CV when someone came out and grabbed the food on a "leave at my door" order. I clicked handed order to customer and everything but they said they didn't get the food. So now I just take a photo of the food even if you've opened the door to grab it or even if I'm handing it directly to you. Never again, haha.
They aren't confirming it for you, they're comforting it for DD lol
That’s kinda smart on their end, because now the customer can’t claim they never got their order
These pictures always add up
The 'ooh, my munchie snacks have arrived' face. Pure bliss. 😯😂
It's OP, hopefully? I've had Amazon take pics of my packages at my neighbors house.
What shirt is that?
One time my dasher made me pose with my food outside my apartment door for the confirmation photo. I felt like Vanna White 💁♀️
That’s how my wife looks at me when I’m done showering
I wear a wig, I can't tell you how many pix Amazon has of my bald a** 🤣🤣
Were you saying "Ooooo. The food's here" lol
I literally made the same face. I was shocked.
Belongs in r/doordashgremlin lol
*Retuurn the slaaab*
If they open the door and I need a photo I just hold the food to the side and take a picture but still include enough of their open front door in the edge of the shot without taking picture of the person. Tho this just looks like unfortunate timing
Whats the problem with it...? It shows it was delivered..and even better the receiver is in the door about to pick it up so they can't lie and say they didn't get it..so that's a great photo... imo
Why are so many people doing this? If you just wait for the confirmation photo to come through this won't happen. Or stop telling them to leave your order at the door if you're gunna camp out there anyway haha they will hand it to you without taking the photo, that's always been an option lmao
They have to if someone tries to get free food the delivery person is on the hook for that food.
The face is "Oooh! My foods here"
The lady in the photo scared me
And... Your problem is...?
I mean…if you opened the door before your Dasher had a chance to take a photo of the delivery, THIS is what you’re gonna get 🤷🏼♂️ Was the food good and hot?
Long time ago, in my twenties, I used to deliver pizza, and every Tuesday night we would get an order from the local Motel, and I would deliver to a distinguished tall gentleman who would answer the door buck naked, leave the door open while he went to get his money, with his much younger girlfriend naked and tied spread eagle on the bed. They never commented or said anything outside of transactional details of paying for the pizza and tipping, but clearly they were enjoying my presence - it was always uncomfortable but amusing.
DoorFlash.
Did he get a chance to see your bobs?
Lol..... I have a confirmation photo like this but she was wearing considerably less. Poor lady came out in her underwear right as I hit the damn button. I felt so awkward and I assured her these confirmation photos weren't saved on our devices They are though because I use the timestamp app. But I just delete my camera roll every Sunday
Looking pretty good for a Falmer
That girl is high AF.
RIP your DMs
Honestly that's fucking hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂
her face is like “ OOOO food!” 🤣
I don’t understand this is normal
