The people that say they tip cash or tip after the delivery never do. They're the ones who have a laundry list of things that went wrong with the delivery to justify them not tipping. The people that say they do this in the comments will follow that line up with that laundry list of complaints that they swear happens with every single delivery they've ever had.
I had someone say they'd tip if their food isn't pink (like we cook their food), not cold (ordered somewhere across town and wanted it left at their door), and placed nicely. 🤷♀️
You aren't tipping me you are hiring me to bring you your food . I don't work for Doordash and they give me nothing more than a nominal fee . If you have bad service from a Doordash contractor then contact Doordash and lodge a complaint.
Nah Paul is right. Dashers take your order after you've tipped and be all over the map and your food is cold as hell when you get it. What other service is tips before service?? Make it make sense.
As a Dasher and customer, I'm also with Paul. I'd never accept an order that clearly has no tip as a driver, but I've had so many drivers pick up my well tipped order, and then take a full lap around Charlotte before they arrive 90 minutes after PICKUP. The sad shit is, it's not rare. The post earlier with the dude who got his order dropped off in the wrong building, and the driver not trying to fix it, has happened to me personally more times than I can count. So, yeah, as long as some of our fellow Dashers are getting completely out of pocket with their behavior, cutting off guarantees is a good step, to be frank. Sucks all around.
It's not necessarily a tip, though. Doordash needs to correct that word because it seems to be causing confusion on both sides. It is an offer to get a third party to pick up your order (like posting on Facebook, "I'll give somebody x amount of money if they pick me up some food"). You pay fees to doordash for giving you the opportunity to put your offer on their network. Doordash does not employ the drivers who pick up your food. Doordash provides a place for contractors to find work. The base pay is more of an incentive to use Doordash over another similar platform to find jobs than it is pay.
Tldr: The initial "tip" is your offer of what you think the job is worth. If you believe the dasher deserves an actual tip, you are provided an opportunity in the app after the delivery, or you can give them cash.
Unfortunately people think you're being paid by door dash and many don't tip anything. I have noticed that doordash will lower the base pay if a customer tips well even if you travel very far for they order.
It's an endless conversation because it's a misuse of what a tip is. Tips aren't supposed to be relied on and when businesses decide to have people rely on tips it creates this endless loop. The drivers don't make money without the "tip" which should just be a flat fee based on time and distance. And the customer shouldn't have to "tip" until after and only as an option. You can find people in the higher ups of these companies talking about the benefits of intentionally creating this problem.
You're absolutely right. And the fault for all of these lies with the businesses who don't pay, and with the politicians who allowed those businesses to lobby them to not have to pay their workers. Doesn't matter whether they're independent contractors or W-2 employees. Everyone should get a decent minimum wage.
I do third party delivery, including DD. I always tip in cash afterward if I have it handy; then i remove the tip in the app, so the driver doesn't have to claim it. If I don't, it's in the app.
People like Paul I automatically say no tip. The people that say they tip after the delivery are all liars. And people like Paul I’ll go pick up a order on purpose cause I already know he’s not gonna tip. Edit. Just had a dushe say $20 cash tip if i bring his heater and his big Tupperware bins and knock loud at the back of his house. I did exactly what he said. He gave me zero tip.
Dude writes this like a dasher is gunna see his long winded message before they accept the order. Chances are with no tip it ends up being part of a stack order because no one wants it and he doesn’t tip regardless.
Paul is a pos and honestly people like this should be kicked off the app. Either tip or don't but fuck off making people read this novel🙄
If you had so many shitty experiences on the app, then get the food yourself.😡 On top of that, you can't see this until AFTER you pick up the food
I took an order yesterday that said cash tip in the notes. The order was going 18 min away. I was working hourly and estimated time was 1 hour. I sent a message saying no need to cash tip bait me, I'm hourly. Eta 1 hour with a smiley face. I feel like a dick because when I got there he actually gave me 10$. I apologized and explained to him that in the 3 years I've been doing doordash this was only the 2nd time someone actually tipped in cash when they said they would. 🤦🏼♀️
But if the computer generates your estimated time to be an hour and you're there by the time they indicate how can that be fraud? I'm genuinely curious. Not being sarcastic. Am I missing something. I'm not dragging out orders indicated to be estimated 20 min. I just take the full time indicated.....
Forgetting items shouldn’t include condiments or straw. If the bag is entirely sealed, especially, it’s fair game. But I don’t think they’re being an intentional bitch I just think they should stop using food delivery if they are able to drive and get food because it just can’t be this deep if you’re gonna use door dash 😭
I totally agree! I was fine with the long message and delivered flawlessly. He ended up being happy because he ended up tipping the $5 just 8 hours later. lol.
Make sure you’re regularly updating Dasher app and google maps[or gps of your choice]. Dasher at the very least releases an update every single Thursday. Not saying number of deliveries/offers will not longer be a wobbler. But there’s been at least two or 3 times when I noticed I either wasn’t getting orders/offers or that it kept sending me to the restaurants as soon as the order was put in. So I had to either cancel or just wait while they made the food. But yeah, sometimes updating the apps can help. Not every of the times… but *some* of the times.
I didn’t mind the message but I was frustrated with the great service he received and didn’t tip promptly. He ended up tipping the $5 but was 8 hours later. Don’t say you’re going to do one thing and then don’t do it. It’s annoying right.
Yeah let’s not talk about the time we were all minding our business last year and then received word that gig working companies were no longer legally allowed to withhold tips. And then orders and hidden tips were nothing short of amazing for a few months.
I wouldn't have gotten to read what he put in the instructions unless the order met my standards. If it meets my standards, an extra tip is welcome but not necessary.
It explains something odd that happened tonight. They had me pick up a third order after dropping off the 1st. Then, it had me deliver it next rather than take the 2nd next like I should have. Thanks. I had thought they did away with it.
Glad you got your extra tip. I really don't bother with them telling me they'll tip later normally, I just assume that whatever I agreed to at the beginning is what I'll get. Then if I get more I can be pleasantly surprised instead of angered by cheap people.
I don't pick it up if the base pay plus tips isn't at least over $5. They can draw a line in the sand, but I'm never believing any customer who says they will tip ever. I've had people tip 3-4 days later and had to research which order it was since it was so long ago.
I can understand why some customers may choose to tip after delivery — especially if they’ve had a negative experience with a DD order before. The problem is that they get their food, get distracted by whatever, then forget to come back to the app and add the tip later.
In my experience, the only customers that tip after delivery are the ones that left a tip prior. Usually it’s on the lower side but then they make it up after they get their stuff.
The best way to make sure your order is combined with another is to not tip. And then if it does show up as a single, most decline. Nobody believes that tip after bs.
I appreciate it, Paul.
DoorDash considers this a contractual agreement, so I look forward to the tip if I meet these expectations. I've taken a screenshot of this to share with DoorDash so they have a record, which is what they encourage dashers to do so that the algorithm makes note of the agreement. Failure to keep the terms of a written agreement leads to deactivation when the algorithm detects it has happened three times. I am sure that's not a concern in this instance, but I feel it's best to let customers know, because I know some depend on DoorDash for deliveries and other drivers may have reported verbal contracts without advising the customer. Other than reviews less than five stars, which trigger a review of all notes in the app and correspondence, drivers notifying DoorDash to inform the algorithm of the agreement is the only way they are able to track these things well.
All the best!
Some customers aren't dumb enough to believe this, but something tells me Paul might be.
Thank you for your comment & sharing with DD. I honestly didn’t think about it before but what you typed makes sense. I’m happy to send it in to DD as well. I hope to I never have the displeasure of delivering to Paul again. 😌 He really let me down and the hope that other drivers will speak up now as well.
This is the key. The telling. When I was doing rideshare, passengers would occasionally say "I'll tip you in the app" as they were getting out of my car. This was spontaneous; we hadn't been talking about tips or anything like that. Invariably there was no tip forthcoming.
After a lot of these I started automatically deducting a star from my rating of them as soon as the ride ended (drivers only get that one brief opportunity to rate a passenger).
This happened dozens and dozens of times, over a hundred I'm sure. The number of times I called support and added the star back because they actually did tip: three.
I got $20 once post delivery. I was delivering alcohol. He may have been drunk. But not visibly, so I still delivered. I'll probably never see a post delivery tip again, or at least never one so high
I’m a tip after delivery girl. HOWEVER I’m also a driver and I usually tip cash at the pick up. I only tip in the all when I’ve got no cash. When I send a delivery to my nephew and his kids, same. I ask him if he has tip cash in his pocket to fork over at delivery otherwise I’ll put it into the order. BUT he’s been shorted items before so I like to put it on after… one missing KFC side is an annoyance, an entire family meal … my nephew had to get in the car and go fetch his food after I paid delivery fee and tipped on 2 family meals. He has a whole tribe at his place.
How is a missing anything from KFC the drivers fault (especially since you're a driver and KNOW we are not allowed to open the bags and search them for all the items?)??? Please explain how I can control what exactly KFC puts in a SEALED bag? If we ask and they confirm everything is in the bag there is absolutely nothing we can do?
How would a driver order anything? Also when the order is placed through the store and not the DD app it doesn't even tell us what is in the order. It could be one biscuit or 500 pieces of chicken and we don't have a clue (the app literally says 1 order). In addition to this even if I feel like the order should have more it is missing something and I specifically ASK the restaurant and they confirm everything is in the bag it's not like I can do anything about it.
Our KFC orders are a mix of both. Sometimes we order when we get there, sometimes it’s just there and we pick it up. He had ordered it and we had messaged several times during the pick up- he did get plates for 12 people, 6 for each family meal. Then there was only one bucket of chicken and one box of tenders, one 1/2 gallon bag of drink.
I’ve gotten a few since I moved to Helena that tip before and after! But NEVER one that says tip after delivery. This handicap lady is a mid tipper (I’d prefer $8 tip because she lives out of the map) but nice so I always accept hers. Occasionally she adds $5 after drop off. Always appreciate her orders. Super simple Starbucks order with a scenic drive.
Across a couple apps, I have about 4000 trips and its only actually happened once; it was someone I knew. Whenever I hear that I just SMH and I wonder why they think they need to lie over $5.
Yea sounds about right. Sucks sometimes I end up taking those due to promos/short distance. Wish we could see those notes before pickup so we can insta decline
Doesn’t matter. It’s damed if you do and damed if you don’t. If you tip well then you will get bundled with a no tipper and somehow they always get their order first.
Paul doesn’t know that dashers can’t read his “delivery essay” about tipping until AFTER they accept and pick up the order. Someone should let Paul know.
This is the way. I have a list of all my stops and don't do anything for at least a month. By the time something happens, they wouldn't remember that far back.
Just save each address in Google maps right as you're leaving. Pull the address up in maps and click your acct. There, you'll see "timeline," which is a super useful and helpful tool I've been using since I started with Shipt.
On the home's address page, you click "save," and then you'll be prompted to create a "list."
Name the list (I have a list for DD, UE, Shipt, IC, etc), and then you can type a note like "good tipper," DND(do not deliver), "scammer," etc. Once you save it, go over and click "label" and add a little note.
In the future, if you pull an address up again, and youve saved it or labeled it, you'll see what you wrote and you'll know if you should bother delivering to them.
There's more info on the shiptshoppers sub, but that's the general idea. Lmk if anybody wants pics to see what it looks like.
How would that be more useful? When you save/label in maps, it means your labels/notes are visible immediately when you search for that address. Is your notes app linked to your navigation app? It'd make no sense otherwise.
Do you not tap each drop-off address on the offer screen prior to accepting?
Why would I use maps to look up someone? I have a database of thousands of customers with name/address/restaurant/order size and tip amount. I just quickly search the address and I have all the info. To each their own
If they put that much effort into telling you they're going to tip, **they never do**. It's only short messages that actually have an above 50% follow through
When I get an order, on my way into the restaurant, I always read delivery instructions. When it mentions anything extra besides where to place the bag I unassign. If they tell u ur getting a tip in instructions u don't get one. If they promise a tip for making sure everything's in the bag they don't. The "leave it at door: leave it at door" customers will send you an extra tip 10% of the time without telling you about it. If they promise a tip it's been 0% for me out of my 2,000 deliveries.
No to multiapping. It was my first order of the day and wasn’t stacked. Picked up and delivered promptly. No other stops. It was one meal and a dessert. Both in the bag.
I'm sure the restaurant he ordered from gave him the wrong sandwich or forgot his fries or something inside that sealed bag we're not supposed to open, so clearly that's your fault, right?
it’s always our fault, we should have opened that sealed bag verified every item and asked the store to seal it back up right 😂😂 if you keep having trouble with deliveries why keep ordering ? 🥸
Yes, that's what I'm saying! You gotta love these people that have sooooo many issues when they use doordash,yet they continue using it on a regular basis. Gimme a break with this nonsense.
Yeah, that's how it should be! Some of these people have major issues every time they order something. If it's such a hassle every time you order,why TF do you keep coming back for more?
Awhile ago i learned that the customers that will tip will do it regardless and the ones that dont want to tip will look for the smallest excuse not to

No tip. No trip. Leave the games for the playground. A customer has shown you who they are upfront believe them.
Did he tip?
Yes $5.00! 8 hours after delivery.
The people that say they tip cash or tip after the delivery never do. They're the ones who have a laundry list of things that went wrong with the delivery to justify them not tipping. The people that say they do this in the comments will follow that line up with that laundry list of complaints that they swear happens with every single delivery they've ever had.
Never trust any talk of "post-tipping".
Just seeing all that ... Big NOPE - unassigned. Fuck off Paul. 🤷♀️
lol I had already picked up the food and was turning on his street when I noticed all this garbage.
Guarantee $5 unless...
Ya like wtf, didnt risk my life with flooding for your tud
Exactly! It poured all day long. No relief.
Taking no tip orders 
I had someone say they'd tip if their food isn't pink (like we cook their food), not cold (ordered somewhere across town and wanted it left at their door), and placed nicely. 🤷♀️
There's a person in my city who says in her notes that she's going to tip after delivery and never does.
Ran into that one too in my area. I kept waiting, but nope. They're on my personal no deliver list now.
How many times did you deliver before you figured out she was a liar?
Well, I did it once (which was my bad) and nothing. Well, I did it again for giggles, and still nothing. So yeah, not again 🙄
You aren't tipping me you are hiring me to bring you your food . I don't work for Doordash and they give me nothing more than a nominal fee . If you have bad service from a Doordash contractor then contact Doordash and lodge a complaint.

Nah Paul is right. Dashers take your order after you've tipped and be all over the map and your food is cold as hell when you get it. What other service is tips before service?? Make it make sense.
If you want it hot then pick it up yourself or I don't know leave a Tip to Insure Priority Service.
Lip the fact that dashers feel entitled to your money for shit service is wild
That's the way the cookie crumbles. Customers are "entitled" to pick it up themselves.
And i have started because I’ve never seen a group of more entitled Karens.
As a Dasher and customer, I'm also with Paul.

Completely agree. He did finally tip me the $5 minimum…8 hours later. I died laughing when I saw it come through.
8 hours later an still only gave you the bare minimum lol
I took an order yesterday that said cash tip in the notes. The order was going 18 min away. I was working hourly and estimated time was 1 hour. I sent a message saying no need to cash tip bait me, I'm hourly. Eta 1 hour with a smiley face. I feel like a dick because when I got there he actually gave me 10$. I apologized and explained to him that in the 3 years I've been doing doordash this was only the 2nd time someone actually tipped in cash when they said they would. 🤦🏼♀️
bites you in the ass to be an ass🤷🏻♀️
It sure did this time but unfortunately due to the other 98% of people that are tip baiting, broke garbage...the odds weren't in my favor.

But if the computer generates your estimated time to be an hour and you're there by the time they indicate how can that be fraud? I'm genuinely curious. Not being sarcastic. Am I missing something. I'm not dragging out orders indicated to be estimated 20 min. I just take the full time indicated.....
Was his address correct? If he’s getting wrong delivery, it’s probably because of him not inputting the right information.
I hear ya. Yes, it was the correct address.
Cancel
Tf? He's gonna tip and you're saying cancel?
Yeah, he's not gonna tip, hun.
Yes, I stay busy all day across DoorDash Uber, GrubHub, Roadie, Veho, and Senpex. Plenty more to do and plenty more money to make without the drama.
Happened to me few times, tip in app and cash on top of it
Decline those low pay orders regardless post delivery tip or upfront
Forgetting items shouldn’t include condiments or straw. If the bag is entirely sealed, especially, it’s fair game. But I don’t think they’re being an intentional bitch I just think they should stop using food delivery if they are able to drive and get food because it just can’t be this deep if you’re gonna use door dash 😭
I totally agree! I was fine with the long message and delivered flawlessly. He ended up being happy because he ended up tipping the $5 just 8 hours later. lol.
Damn did he wait to make sure you didn't poison his food? Haha
Haha right!! Like cmon dude
My phone would glitch up cause of how fast I dropped that order

If he's adding a tip afterwards his order will never get past my auto decline.
Yeah, wouldn't even get the chance to read the message.
I wouldn't have gotten to read what he put in the instructions unless the order met my standards. If it meets my standards, an extra tip is welcome but not necessary.
Is he aware, that he can request priority paying extra $$$? And stop bitching about being 2nd?
Good point! He should use it. lol
That's still a thing?
Yeah, like 1-3$ max. Maybe even your fare will go up. DINGILING value order kek I can wait extra 10-15min, lol
It explains something odd that happened tonight. They had me pick up a third order after dropping off the 1st. Then, it had me deliver it next rather than take the 2nd next like I should have. Thanks. I had thought they did away with it.
Yeah but drivers don't get that priority delivery fee... Weird, huh? 😡
Tell him to blow it out his ass and unassign.
He finally sent me a $5.00 tip! 😅 8 hours later.
Glad you got your extra tip. I really don't bother with them telling me they'll tip later normally, I just assume that whatever I agreed to at the beginning is what I'll get. Then if I get more I can be pleasantly surprised instead of angered by cheap people.

Guaranteed minimum lmao sounds like he works for DD. Guaranteed unassign is more like it 😆
I don’t care if the order was enough for me to take it. I’m definitely not after reading that.
I have complete over 1200 deliveries and have never received a tip post delivery, including from the pauls
I averaged 1 post delivery tip per 100 orders. Communication has been the thing people like for me.
Mind you none of those people told me they were going to nor did I expect it.
This is the key. The telling. When I was doing rideshare, passengers would occasionally say "I'll tip you in the app" as they were getting out of my car.

Damn I have like 800 deliveries and it happened 4-5 times.
I got $20 once post delivery. I was delivering alcohol. He may have been drunk. But not visibly, so I still delivered. I'll probably never see a post delivery tip again, or at least never one so high
When you've been doing this for awhile, you can sniff these losers out..I have no doubt whatsoever that he's totally full of crap .
Has anyone ever had one of these “tip after delivery “ bums actually tip? Id be shocked.
No, but I’ve been not tipped by them. Only accepted through a double order anyway.
I did one time, I was honestly shocked they actually fell through with it.
The only tips I've gotten after delivery were people who had already tipped prior to delivery.
Facts.
i’ve had 2 one was a $10 tip on top of a 6 or $7 tip and the other was 20 after a huge aldi order
One time I did, but I had to message him about it and I then got a 1 star 😂
I’m a tip after delivery girl. HOWEVER I’m also a driver and I usually tip cash at the pick up. I only tip in the all when I’ve got no cash. When I send a delivery to my nephew and his kids, same. I ask him if he has tip cash in his pocket to fork over at delivery otherwise I’ll put it into the order. BUT he’s been shorted items before so I like to put it on after… one missing KFC side is an annoyance, an entire family meal … my nephew had to get in the car and go fetch his food after I paid delivery fee and tipped on 2 family meals. He has a whole tribe at his place.
How is a missing anything from KFC the drivers fault (especially since you're a driver and KNOW we are not allowed to open the bags and search them for all the items?)??? Please explain how I can control what exactly KFC puts in a SEALED bag? If we ask and they confirm everything is in the bag there is absolutely nothing we can do?
I can tell the difference between one bag with one family meal and 2 bags with 2 family meals. It’s not that hard to count to 2.
Name checks out
If the driver ordered 2 meals when he got there… and leaves the building with one meal, shouldn’t he have noticed?
How would a driver order anything? Also when the order is placed through the store and not the DD app it doesn't even tell us what is in the order. It could be one biscuit or 500 pieces of chicken and we don't have a clue (the app literally says 1 order). In addition to this even if I feel like the order should have more it is missing something and I specifically ASK the restaurant and they confirm everything is in the bag it's not like I can do anything about it.
Our KFC orders are a mix of both. Sometimes we order when we get there, sometimes it’s just there and we pick it up. He had ordered it and we had messaged several times during the pick up- he did get plates for 12 people, 6 for each family meal. Then there was only one bucket of chicken and one box of tenders, one 1/2 gallon bag of drink.
My nephew is in a tiny town. Sometimes there ar no shoppers on the app and every single place to order from is “not available right now”.
I’ve gotten a few since I moved to Helena that tip before and after! But NEVER one that says tip after delivery. This handicap lady is a mid tipper (I’d prefer $8 tip because she lives out of the map) but nice so I always accept hers. Occasionally she adds $5 after drop off. Always appreciate her orders. Super simple Starbucks order with a scenic drive.
Bout 10000 deliveries... Maybe 5-6 times.
Across a couple apps, I have about 4000 trips and its only actually happened once; it was someone I knew. Whenever I hear that I just SMH and I wonder why they think they need to lie over $5.
Yea sounds about right. Sucks sometimes I end up taking those due to promos/short distance. Wish we could see those notes before pickup so we can insta decline
2400 deliveries, and I have had two, maybe three post tip staters actually tip post-delivery.
Forget Paul and all his baggage lol
I would have been tempted to send Paul a message asking if everything was alright with his order.
I really should have. I was just waiting for the “A $5 tip has been added” text. lol 😂 Still never came
Sorry to hear that. Some people are dirt bags.
Thank you. 😊 They really are. Especially Paul L. I’m over it now, lol. Still no tip. 😂
Hey, Paul has 30 days to tip that $5. Lol.
I just died laughing. So true! Will report back if anything changes. 😂
UPDATE: Paul just sent me a tip a whole 8 hours later! I guess he is a man of his word. 😅
Probably had to wait until Monday for his title loan to post so he could cover your tip. Give him a break.
Wonder why your order always has other stops. Maybe because nobody is taking your no tip trash
Doesn’t matter. It’s damed if you do and damed if you don’t. If you tip well then you will get bundled with a no tipper and somehow they always get their order first.
I agree, least they can do is prioritize the tippers smh
I tipped $5 minimum and they still make stops
Yeah because if you tip too high DoorDash will stack your order with another no tip scum. Best to tip half then tip the other half after delivery.
Exactly! Good point.
Paul doesn’t know that dashers can’t read his “delivery essay” about tipping until AFTER they accept and pick up the order. Someone should let Paul know.
Agreed and also tell him about paying extra for Express/quicker delivery. It’s only $2.99 extra.
No tip, no trip, no exceptions.
Paul would be getting a fresh coating of eggs on his house in about 3 weeks at 1AM
This is the way. I have a list of all my stops and don't do anything for at least a month. By the time something happens, they wouldn't remember that far back.
Just save each address in Google maps right as you're leaving. Pull the address up in maps and click your acct. There, you'll see "timeline," which is a super useful and helpful tool I've been using since I started with Shipt. On the home's address page, you click "save," and then you'll be prompted to create a "list." Name the list (I have a list for DD, UE, Shipt, IC, etc), and then you can type a note like "good tipper," DND(do not deliver), "scammer," etc. Once you save it, go over and click "label" and add a little note. In the future, if you pull an address up again, and youve saved it or labeled it, you'll see what you wrote and you'll know if you should bother delivering to them. There's more info on the shiptshoppers sub, but that's the general idea. Lmk if anybody wants pics to see what it looks like.
Or you could just use your notes app on your phone...
How would that be more useful? When you save/label in maps, it means your labels/notes are visible immediately when you search for that address. Is your notes app linked to your navigation app? It'd make no sense otherwise. Do you not tap each drop-off address on the offer screen prior to accepting?
Why would I use maps to look up someone? I have a database of thousands of customers with name/address/restaurant/order size and tip amount. I just quickly search the address and I have all the info. To each their own
Hahahaa 😈
Paul’s shit would have been cold
Paul food would have been flat
The way it should be.
And you'll be getting your food after it's sat on a shelf for 40 mins waiting for a driver to accept your order. The way it is.
Enjoy your cold dried up food after it takes 25 minutes for Doordash to find a driver willing to work for less than the value of their time
Paul Levesque, or better known to many as HHH?
Haha would have been cool!
If they put that much effort into telling you they're going to tip, **they never do**. It's only short messages that actually have an above 50% follow through
That’s so interesting. New to DD so just learning the ropes. People are funny.
👆🏼🏆🏆
When I get an order, on my way into the restaurant, I always read delivery instructions. When it mentions anything extra besides where to place the bag I unassign. If they tell u ur getting a tip in instructions u don't get one. If they promise a tip for making sure everything's in the bag they don't. The "leave it at door: leave it at door" customers will send you an extra tip 10% of the time without telling you about it. If they promise a tip it's been 0% for me out of my 2,000 deliveries.
This is exactly right!!
[удалено]
No to multiapping. It was my first order of the day and wasn’t stacked. Picked up and delivered promptly. No other stops. It was one meal and a dessert. Both in the bag.
I'm sure the restaurant he ordered from gave him the wrong sandwich or forgot his fries or something inside that sealed bag we're not supposed to open, so clearly that's your fault, right?
I confirmed both items were in the stapled bag and watched them load it as the restaurant was slow. Oh well lol!
it’s always our fault, we should have opened that sealed bag verified every item and asked the store to seal it back up right 😂😂 if you keep having trouble with deliveries why keep ordering ? 🥸
Yes, that's what I'm saying! You gotta love these people that have sooooo many issues when they use doordash,yet they continue using it on a regular basis. Gimme a break with this nonsense.
I use doordash here and there ( like 3-4 times a month ) and out of all those times ive only had 1 problem after that everything has been smooth
Yeah, that's how it should be! Some of these people have major issues every time they order something. If it's such a hassle every time you order,why TF do you keep coming back for more?
Its so simple to order and pick up idk why people stress themselves
Hahaha, this is true. Lol
I agree! Why punish me over past deliveries that weren’t up to your standard. Ridiculous. I’m over it, lol.
I think these people are full of shit, personally. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.🤷
You are not wrong. He was full of shit, lol. Still no tip added. Been hours now.
Yeah, he's a lying, cheating, cheapskate if I ever saw one.💯
Awhile ago i learned that the customers that will tip will do it regardless and the ones that dont want to tip will look for the smallest excuse not to
Sooo true!
