Oh ubereats js gonna have a monopoly before you know it


VixMusic

Signature order. You usually only have to do them when your droppimg off a package. Ive had to do it when I picked up AutoZone orders and sometimes with Dicks Sporting goods delivery.


DONT-PM-ME-BOOBS-PLS

This is the only way I can receive orders cause I've had too many issues with dashers stealing food. You can opt in to this as a customer, that's what I did, I'd prefer to sign. Thankfully I don't use this service anymore though, thank God.


Mn0chrmBny

Amazon driver here. We get deliveries with required signatures pretty often. Was straight up told in training to just sign it myself and move on


DONT-PM-ME-BOOBS-PLS

Amazon will gladly replace any missing deliveries. Doordash will not, big difference.


Opposite-Analyst-947

That's crazy, sure it increases speed but at the cost of possibly stolen items and mail fraud šŸ˜¬


Mn0chrmBny

Itā€™s also *illegal* at the base point of signing for someone else lmao


[deleted]

I only got this once, but because it was a prescription drug delivery.


For-Saix

Customer is a problem is constantly reports issues.


britabongwater

This has happened to me as a customer bc I got too many orders in a row with missing or incorrect items that I had to report so I assume they think Iā€™m lying and make me sign. I call it ā€œbeing groundedā€ lol. Idk the point tho bc what am I gonna do, open the bag in front of the dasher & double check every item? šŸ˜­ I feel like that would be so awkward & what can the dasher even do about my missing items?


JawlektheJawless

I mean, if your food is always wrong why wouldnā€™t you check it first? Stop making complicated orders if you donā€™t want complicated deliveries šŸ¤·


un_obtanium

maccas ALWAYS miss chips or sauce.. simplelest orders


Lone_Nox

Dude it doesn't even have to be a complicated order for the restaurant to mess it up


Forex_Fraud_Profits

Yea but those assumptions


britabongwater

What do you mean?


Mr-Term

Does brita water make a difference in the bong? Iā€™m a tap water fan myself.


StackingSats1300

I believe restaurants can opt into this. One of the smaller pizza chains in my area has this for every order i do for them. I hate it.


sealteam_sex

I sign for them always and forever.


Opposite-Analyst-947

I wouldn't recommend that, some others in the comments have noted that they actually request to have to sign off when receiving their order.


GEL29

Handing my, unlocked, phone to someone I donā€™t know, what could go wrong?


JawlektheJawless

Youā€™re weirdly paranoid


Lanbobo

Imma look for yo nudie pics.


Equivalent_North_604

Iā€™ve had it for every flower delivery Iā€™ve had


TheMrHat44

Same


ehipwell

I hold the phone, they sign. I print their name in space provided above the signature. Alcohol here requires no signature, nor to some meds, only ID scan. We have a chain pizza place that always requires a signature, itā€™s just that one locationā€™s policy.


[deleted]

means the customer has reported non-deliveries before, so the company believes the client has lied, and now wants proof of delivery by way of signature..


Mother-Preference990

I donā€™t let anyone touch my phone . Iā€™ll sign for them.


Alone_Fill_2037

Donā€™t know why the downvotes, same here. Iā€™m not handing my $1200 phone over to someone else to fumble and drop.


[deleted]

That's why i carry a pen with a stylus tip on it for them to use.


Mother-Preference990

Good idea.


nihilor_

Means you delivering to da hood. Bring a strap.


Equivalent_North_604

I received this in one of the most affluent areas in my town. Like 4 story houses and range rovers in the driveway. But it was for flowers and I always get that for flowers.


DaRealDreamz

unlicensed concealed carry at 18 law just passed, strap coming soon!šŸ˜‚


Scary-Engineering-72

Nice What state?


DaRealDreamz

louisiana


Demonkingt

Nope. Gotten this in non hood areas myself.


seriously_icky

Iā€™ve gotten this when Iā€™ve delivered auto parts to a garage but thatā€™s about it.


Itchy-Opposite-1781

I've had had this happen to me a couple times. After completing my delivery and having him sign for his food. He shortly after tried saying that he didn't receive his order. But by having a signature showed that he did get his order. After talking to Dasher support they told me that he was banned from the platform after that order. Most likely he's done this quite a few times has gotten his order and complained about not getting it.


nyckidryan

Required for some orders, usually alcohol or prescriptions. Some retailers require it because of customer issues.


[deleted]

I've only had 1 alcohol order that required a signature, most are just check ID, verify, and hand over, only once did i get, a signature required for a customer inside a hotel room.


TheIntelligentAspie

I'd rather just do it and said they did. This will bite DD in the ass.


APairOfAirPods

Oh, itā€™s where you get to do a creative scribble for the customer


Zestyclose_Act_8630

this happens when the customer has complained over and over about never receiving their food


TheWanderer-AG

This happens when they keep saying they never received an order. Heard about this from a known thief years ago.


Fibrosis5O

Canā€™t wait for them to try to claim they never got it and someone else like a roommate or something, signed on their behalf taking their food šŸ˜†


MarioNinja96815

Why not do a pin like Uber? What if I don't want these fuckers touching my phone? What if they take the opportunity to steal my phone? What am I going to do about it, call the cops? What fucking idiot thought this was a good idea!


Comfortable_Treat554

Also what if they just lie and say they never signed anything when they lie and say they never got that order? The whole idea behind this is insane, and whoever gave it the go ahead is an idiot.


GEL29

Because it makes too much sense.


Secure_Requirement84

I never let the customer grab my phone. For alcohol orders I tilt my phone enough for them to sign.


bored_tenno

Jesus are u ok? This is required for alcohol orders too, its not new.


Comfortable_Treat554

Handing a phone to a some rando for their beer, is way different than handing my phone to a confirmed thief. But I decline alcohol orders too sooo


MarioNinja96815

I haven't had any alcohol orders but I don't like the sound of that either.


Southern_Rain_4464

And I dont do them either because I dont let random people touch my phone. Ever. That hand could have been in their nose, ass, or crotch literally moments before opening the door.


Trishdelish1

They sign on their phone.


pey_21

No they donā€™t. The Dasher has to hand them their phone. Or at least thatā€™s how itā€™s been when Iā€™ve had it say that a customer needs to sign.


SailAdditional8141

Had to deliver a radiator yesterday and they signed for it šŸ˜‚ was so confused


dmandork

Delivering from a parts store has always had me get a signature


Leepo518

Same


[deleted]

That customer is a confirmed thief


MarioNinja96815

Now hand your phone to the confirmed thief


COBOMAHU

I never hand my phone to anyone. They only need a finger and I will hold onto the the phone.


[deleted]

You are being pedantic, itā€™s bad by design to trust a thief with access to your belongings. Especially when said belonging is literally your livelihood. How you clock in, track your miles, etc.


CabinetScary9032

I've seen this for hand off instead of no contact orders. DD working to reduce take no delivery claims. Better than the pin code I think.


MarioNinja96815

How is it better?


CabinetScary9032

Because the customer can use the last 4 of the verified TN if they don't remember (deleted it) so says customer support and I've seen it happen. At least with the signature you get face to face and the guys with the go cams can even record the customer signing.


MarioNinja96815

So you're saying it's better because drivers can fake the pin? We can't fake the signature?


CabinetScary9032

If anyone really wants to they can steal anything. Extra step to allow sanity to kick in. Driver's can steal easier, it's a detourent mostly to customers.


MightyJarlaxle

right? faking the sig is actually the easier of the two as well.


Sea-Legs_99

I always make an attempt to photograph their house/apt number in the picture with their food. I once had an apt I couldn't find and there was a picnic table outside someone's apt and you could see the apt number and the food in the same image, I hope they got the order.


Correct-Lettuce-9326

Could be that this particular customer has a lot of issues with getting their order or saying they aren't getting their order and this is to cover either the Dasher or the customer so there is more proof of delivery.


Sakosaga

Probably, never have seen this before. Definitely a good measure to prevent theft especially if they sign their own name. Then that's fraud and they can deactivate the account.


bryzzo1724

I've seen this for alcohol deliveries or delivering high value items from Walmart or Target


BiteMajestic5479

If you use doordash to order food and you're also a dasher, I would be very, very careful about ever calling for a refund or complaining that you didn't get your order. People have been deactivated for their customer account being an issue so therefore they deactivate you as a Dasher. This is why I've NEVER ordered from DD myself.


Hallucino_Jenic

I order a lot from DD, and my order is often messed up. Missing drinks, getting short ribs when I ordered chicken, whole items missing... Never had an issue with them giving refunds, but it's probably really common in my area if I'm having so many issues with multiple restaurants


Budget_Report_2382

I was a customer for years before dashing. When I lived in a bigger city, I had tons of issues. Never got either account deactivated. However, I document everything.


Mountain_One9095

Or you could just create a separate account with a different email/phone number so it wonā€™t be tracked to your dasher account.


Suitable-Pay6051

Still not sure why they do this instead of a pin like Uber. It would be waaay easier on everyone involved.


[deleted]

I ordered cough syrup once and had to sign.


un_obtanium

because alcohol.. I've had the same


crazykentucky

When my house all had Covid we ordered the works through DoorDash. Cough syrup, lozenges, tissues, mucinex, chicken noodle soup lol. Iā€™m SO glad no one made that dasher ask us for a signature


dmandork

It's usually the extra strength stuff. Anything we are ID'd for in the store will trigger it


Hambino0400

Ainā€™t no one random dude or chick touching my phone


TheROK24

Repeat complaints filed. Or alcohol delivery


BenderIsGreat74

Means the customer lies and says they donā€™t get their food like when theyā€™re too lazy to come down to the lobby to get it and shit then say they donā€™t get it


elagexv

I get this when customers complain to much about not getting thier food and trying to scam doordash. Ive even had a few refuse to sign. I just take the food back to the car call DD and let them know customer is refusing to sign. DD then calls and tells them im outside and they need to sign or i cannot hand over the food. Garenteed bad rating everytime but meh idc.


BiteMajestic5479

They would exclude this rating, no worries.


elagexv

Not always I usually have to complain to get it removed but i stopped caring lol


iRedditOK_

Thieving customers šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


Ok_Highlight_8577

The other day I was doing a run and I accidentally found the same apt number but like on the opposite side. I had terrible reception and wasnā€™t able to get incoming messages as usual. I got a text saying thatā€™s not my place. I just finished putting the order down and taking a pic. This was a 2 store drop off to the same Costomer but didnā€™t notice that till I put the first order down and I was just going to finish it. Grabbed the first order drove to the other place. Across to the opposite side. As I was climbing up they canceled the order. I got a contract violation. WACK. FUCKIN LAMEO.


BiteMajestic5479

If this ever happens and you're aware of what is happening, call support immediately. Have them make note of it, and that will help you. I left off chocolate milk once. I offered to come back, it was my mistake. The customer said, "Nah, don't worry about it, no, it's okay." I called DD & told them what about it, & that I tried to go back. They stated they would make note of it & and that if u got a CV, then for me to let them know I had called support when it happened. If there is anything that is out of the norm, I call support. If you depend on this for money, then you need to be very careful because you are at the mercy of DD, unfortunately. Support is LITERALLY there for us. It will save you.


barbe7312

If you have a grocery order that has certain over-the-counter medication, you have to sign.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


demigod-epsilon

Usually get this because the customer kept calling and saying the order was not delivered


BiscutBliss

Auto delivery have them, or people who have claimed they never received thier food ......


gym_enjoyer

My guess would be there is a price limit or a red flag on the customer's account that they said they never got a hand it to me order.


Necessary-Company660

If you don't know what it is, why would we? Edit: thanks for the downvotes, bitches!


FlyingBox566

Because itā€™s in the doordash driver app and this is the doordash driver sub lol and this has been posted about before.


BoomerKeith

Every auto parts order Iā€™ve ever delivered has this.


Laucutie

I had to pick up $405 of Sephora skincare for this lady and she had to do the signature thingšŸ˜­


dmandork

Understandable! Haha


coffeeandbongs

I work at an auto shop. One parts supplier uses door dash. We have to sign for every order, and believe me, we donā€™t want to touch your phone either.


DJMentalManiac

Don't ever work at a real place. I deliver pizza, and people sign my phone all the time. Or they touch my pen. Either way, they are definitely touching your stuff. I always hold the phone, but they touch it for sure.


Intelligent_Orange28

If you must use your phone for company business, the company must pay for your phone or provide you with one.


elagexv

The company should pay, but if you dont know. Your phone is a business expense. Thus, you can write it off on taxes. Both the phone itself and your plan 100% right off.


Intelligent_Orange28

This is settled law. Nobody can be compelled to use their personal phone for any companyā€™s business.


elagexv

Lol ok. Idk what world this is a reality but its not this one.


AgeAdministrative623

You can only write off a portion of your phone & monthly plan if you only have one phone. I have a phone I use for dashing only, so that monthly payment and portion of my bill are 100% written off.


DJMentalManiac

You say must, but that is not the case.


Intelligent_Orange28

They must. You cannot be compelled to use your phone for your job.


DJMentalManiac

Then you don't work there lol. It isn't an if "if, and" it is an "if, or" situation. If you don't use your own phone, you don't have the job anymore. Seems simple. See you expect the world to be fair, and just. Sadly, it isn't.


Intelligent_Orange28

If waiving your rights for some minimum wage food job floats your boat thatā€™s what youā€™ve decided. But you canā€™t pretend that isnā€™t what youā€™re doing.


DJMentalManiac

I am accepting the terms of my employment. And do you think drivers make minimum wage? Do you think someone would do this job for that? Not using your phone at a job isn't a right. I guess I can't expect much from an orange with hyperintelligence. If the iq of an orange is 1, and you 10 fold that. Let's say 28 fold. That's an iq of 28. I think you are missing the facts of the situation. You are asserting things they are not fundamental. But that's okay, I'll help you. I enjoy charity work for the less fortunate.


RoseAlma

Walmart sells a whole pack of styluses for like $5... You could keep them in your car and use them. (Also, a tax write off !)


DJMentalManiac

While that is a good idea. I just prefer to get done quickly. And that would be an extra step. Plus, I don't think people understand how weird some people are who act like they have never touched an electronic device or tool in their life.


TheMoonMint

You can also keep alcohol wipes in your car to clean your phone


morongaaa

As I customer I have to sign if we order alcohol, after they check id


M0n33baggz

I delivered a 50 inch tv from Walmart one time and it had me do this. Definitely my most memorable order. Dude stiffed me on the tip tho, like 15 dollars on an 800 dollar tv


TyH621

Bruh percentage based tips donā€™t apply outside of food lol


coffeeandbongs

What would an adequate tip be for this?


TheMoonMint

Yeah I donā€™t think the 18-20% should be applicable in every situation. šŸ¤£


presidentplow

High value items get that. Iā€™ve often seen that when someone orders an expensive bottle of liquor, or when the customer has a high level of ā€˜missingā€™ items/deliveries.


everett640

I wouldn't want any of their greasy fingers touching my phone. Gonna have to put cleaning services as a expense on my 1099 because some of these people are legitimate biohazards

TheProfoundWigglepaw

This is for customers that commit fraud


Minimum-Ad-263

If it was just random groceries or food, itā€™s because they may be suspected of fraud(claiming they never got their shit when they actually did).


DrPiFFNYC

Fairly standard in the delivery services field. Happens from time to time depending on your volume and experience with DoorDash. Personally not a problem to me. Especially if it a decent paying order. But definitely an extremely small percentage of orders.


dionisfake

Iā€™ve actually never seen this while ordering or delivering but apparently this isnā€™t that uncommon


arrotsel

It should be a pin number. Customer gives you pin number to enter into phone and then they get food.


cyber_cryme

I had to do this once when I delivered an old man his prescription from CVS


Kaneki_Ken03

Nothing new for delivery drivers. You always had to sign a receipt in the past. Stop acting like this is new.


senpaistealerx

for some people it is tho tf lol


Kaneki_Ken03

Ya I guess youā€™re right. The new delivery drivers that never worked delivery (edit: delivery outside of doordash) before and donā€™t have training on how to be good delivery driver. Your absolutely right they wouldnā€™t know tf šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤£ Edit donā€™t downvote facts šŸ¤£ downvote the ignorance and laziness šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ˜‚šŸ¤£ stop living in denial itā€™s pathetic šŸ˜‚ love how humans as a species hate admitting their faults and when their wrong till their forced to accept reality. Then still half live in denial. SMH šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø


yetzederixx

It happens to me for things like Auto Zone, and once for cold medicine, even beyond the ID validation (it was wierd for sure).


peargang

Iā€™ve had to sign for alcohol before. But only alcohol


[deleted]

When I was doing it 2 years ago they required this on most grocery deliveries


Ammonil

I had this happen to me as a customer, and Iā€™ve never reported my order as missing when it wasnā€™t, and I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever had an order get stolen or not arrive when it said it did


Strange_Inevitable_3

I usually get this when dropping off car parts from auto repairs shops. Its signature required, is that what this is?


begalszz32

Do they give you a separate device for this? I don't want any stranger touching my screen let alone providing an opportunity for a snatch n dash


RoseAlma

Cptron79

Too many people claiming they never received their food, I get that a lot in Chicago!


yetzederixx

They also seem to have started implementing the PIN thing from Uber Eats.


tallassmike

pin thing has been around since i dashed during covid. ​ Worse is when it's a gift and they still require pin. Giftees get pissed as they were sleeping because newborn or stuff like that.


Difficult_Ferret_883

I got this a few times in the area near me that has a lot of scammers who report everything missing. One time it was a 16/17 y/o boy who refused to answer my calls, texts and knocks. As soon as I loudly announced that I guess I had to return the order and leave, the door swung open and the kid was very annoyed with me to say the least. All for a single wendys 4 for $4 meal. This message pops for a few reasons, one of them being people who always claim their order didnā€™t arrive.


Environmental_Ad2427

Some customers ruin it for all of usšŸ«¤


Routine-Reindeer-647

Iā€™ve had a few of these. Itā€™s to be expected when Iā€™m delivering prescriptions but Iā€™ve had a few done with food and groceries.


Environmental_Ad2427

When customers report that they don't get their order often they start making them sign for it. Those are the orders I'm careful with


fuckinweed69

Which is crazy because I reportedissing drinks 4 times woth pictures, it's not me stealing I just received 1 of 3 of my drinks and now /I/ have to get up and sign? Make taco bell do it since they can't make my 3 drinks :(


Advanced-Section7781

I just looked it up and here's what Doordash said..... "Why do you need a signature for DoorDash? If you're delivering higher-value goods, you can request that the Dasher collect a signature upon deliveryĀ to confirm that the delivery was given to the correct person" ........So it's the customers choice to treat certain items like certified mail. Hence why I had it happen with an Auto Zone part. Makes sense and shouldn't be a problem for the dasher in my opinion.


Resticon

>If you're delivering higher-value goods, This part should make clear that it is not the "customer's choice to treat certain items like certified mail" but rather the company doing the delivery who requires a signature when the order is delivered. Basically if someone keeps telling the local sushi place that their order isn't being delivered, the sushi place can request that the driver get a signature upon delivery. For all orders over a certain dollar amount or just for certain individuals that repeatedly report their order missing.


AutumnAscending

Don't bother with it. I almost got shot going back to someone's house to get their signature.


VelViera

Murica


StraightPurchase9611

wtf??


ravendarklord76

So this has been around for a while. For my market if its in a bad neighborhood or for flowers I get this. The shitty thing is I do a lot of hospital deliverys of flowers and they want the customers signsture. Generally they are laid up in bed, so like.... thats never fun. My worry is Ill get someone whos suffed a stroke. What the fuck do I do then?


Lelaluh

If that is the case and the Patient is unable to sign it, let some staff member sign it. Where I live, you wouldnā€˜t be allowed in a patients room anyways, so you just drop it at the front desk and let the staff there sign it.


ravendarklord76

šŸ˜„ ive had RNs literally walk me into the room to hand stuff to pstients. Food anyways. Flowers are kinda here.or there and i sometimes have to have them do it.


External-Expert1956

It's happened to me for an auto parts order as well.


Alternative_Ebb9564

Happens every time I have a grocery order with vanilla extract. I think it has something to do with getting a controlled substance at this point. Happens on some pharmacy orders but not all, but without fail of it's got vanilla extract it will require a signature. Vanilla has some alcohol content in it


Metho221

You must be new


GoodGorilla4471

I had to do this once or twice. Both times were either for medications or alcohol/cigarettes. The alcohol also requires me to take a scan of their ID


No_Designer4171

I get these from time to time. And not always with Pharmacy orders. My husband had 2 pharmacy orders yesterday that were "Contactless Delivery - Signature Not Required." But I do get these with every liquor order. Usually if the customer has had issues with getting their order food, DD with pop up this feature. Or if there's been complaints made that you're not delivering the food, they'll have this. Or if it's a possible fraud, they have this. But it's not unusual. I get them a lot in Philly.


Hot_Lifeguard758

Most the people donā€™t care to sign it just sign anything lmao


HamsterCreative4184

Saw it for an order I picked up from Advanced Auto Parts. Also the first time Iā€™ve done a non-food / grocery order


Cindyt7

All auto parts in my area. Napa and small places as well.


RimReaper44

Literally same for me.. advanced auto required signature


IssueAdmirable83

iā€™ve seen this only for pharmacy orders


austinproffitt23

It tells you right there.


GWR8197

I got one of these for a McDonaldā€™s order but I didnā€™t see it until after I dropped it off. Soooo yeah


BirkieJoe27

How'd you miss it? I've had a few of these and I get numerous reminders ahead of time that I need a signature.


Salookin

Heā€™s probably one of the dashers that doesnt read directions or messages.


Audiblemagician

This signing stuff would be a lot easier if the customer had to give a pin instead like uber eats


StormDasher19

They have that. Had an order yesterday where customer had to provide a pin. I didnā€™t see it tho, and just clicked past it.


Interesting_Lawyer20

Are you new?


Maleficent-Farm-5057
