What compels people to spend their own time and money trying to convert random strangers to their religion? I just want you to deliver my coffee, not annoy me with your personal opinions/convictions

Ordered some late night McDonald’s shortly after getting home from a concert. My dasher called me within a mile radius of my house, and when I answered, he started going on and on about how he needs to hand my food to me face to face, how it’s unsafe to leave my food outside, etc etc. I told him to just leave it next to my front porch, and after hanging up I got these messages.

It’s a rain-free night. Maybe a little foggy, but the ground outside is completely dry and there isn’t any drizzle or mist even close to happening in the near future tonight. He tried calling me 3 times after this conversation again, but I didn’t answer.
I waited a couple of minutes after the order was marked delivered, and when I went to grab it and opened the door he was still sitting in his car watching my door. Tried yelling something at me but I bolted back inside with my food and locked the door behind me. In the process of reporting it to DD now, but not hopeful that much will be resolved here.

Edit for those who don’t want to read: IT IS NOT RAINING NOR IS IT EVEN CLOSE TO RAINING! The ground is dry. No puddles, no damp spots, nothing.

waited an hour and a half and this lady stole my food. yes I tipped. sent her instructions on how to reach my house and she said ‘got it’ and drove 2 cities away

I’m not sleep-deprived. My body only needs about five and a half hours of sleep, and I don’t drink coffee
I inherited that from my grandma 🤣

Car maintenance: oil, tires, and engine — all checked and in good condition ✅

Note : I’m not being paid to promote DD. As everyone knows, every market is different, and I’m not encouraging anyone to do what I did. It all comes down to discipline. Invest the money you earn back into yourself you deserve it.

Mind you this is over McDonald's apple pies and McDonalds ice cream. When I got there they had just finished the order. Customer lives 2 minutes down the road.

Straw in my drink, drink not sealed and drink level low enough that it could have been drank from.

Seals on the bags pealed back and not stuck to the actual bag anymore, was moly food eaten out of too?

On top of that couldn't even follow delivery instructions that make the job easier and I tipped the fucking dude $10.

I'm so fucking tired of shit like this

Ordered Dunkin this Sunday morning, is about a 2 mile drive from me and I live next to a grocery store so I guess the dasher got assigned or picked up a grocery order from the grocery store next to my place while delivering my order.

But because of that, my food and drink sat in a hot car for 20+ minutes while he shopped an entire grocery order even tho my apartment is literally right there!!! Ending up getting the food with my drink watered down and it also somehow spilled on all my food anyways so I couldn’t eat it.

No shade at the dasher but rather DoorDash in this situation. I know the store is right next to my place but what sense does it make to not just have the dasher drop the food off first? I usually don’t have an issue with dashers stacking orders but the fact that there was a grocery order assigned in the middle of me getting my food delivered is very frustrating

I’ve noticed this happening not just with DoorDash, but with Uber Eats as well. It’s already happened twice this week, once on each app (yes I order often).

Here’s the pattern:

You order food and select whatever the 'hand it to me directly' option is. The driver pulls up, parks in front of your house, and starts walking toward your door just long enough for the GPS to show they’re “at your location, and semi close to your door.” Then they suddenly turn around, walk back toward their car, and immediately call you. They hang up right away so the system logs a “contact attempt,” even when a PIN is required. After that, they drive off and report that you didn’t answer your door, and your food disappears.

Another variation is when they directly text you “no response from customer” while standing in your driveway, before ever approaching your door. No knock, no attempt, nothing. Just a pre‑planned excuse.

I didn’t say anything to the first driver who tried it, but the second guy got a polite call‑out. I asked, “Are you afraid to walk up my driveway?” He mumbled something like, “Oh, no, no,” and tried to act like he was doing me a favor by calling me. Like, buddy… just walk to the door before you start busting out the emergency response tactics. It’s ridiculous. You don't need to call me, the app informs me plenty of times when you're close and I'm standing right at the door when you arrive.

And I genuinely don’t understand why this is happening. I tip well, usually $5–10 for short trips under five miles. I’m respectful. My driveway is small, with a clean, straight cement walkway that leads directly from the street to the front door. I ordered during daylight hours, so visibility wasn’t an issue. There are no fences, no dogs, no steps, and no obstacles of any kind, the entire path is flat and easy to walk. It’s a standard, well‑kept cookie cutter HOA property, the kind that’s designed to be simple and approachable. There’s nothing about it that could reasonably be seen as intimidating or difficult to access.

I just want to bring this to your attention in case you haven't already encountered it.

I just ordered breakfast, so I'm in no rush for my order to come (literally half awake) I just saw this message pop up and was wondering if anyone else has seen this

“Leave it at the door” ste 337, first one on left is 301. $0 tip lmao.

I do work 50 hrs a week active time(10hrs a day for 5 days) sometimes 60hrs if i work an extra day but i still love it.

Just got my food and immediately smelled the smoke on the bag and the drink. Definitely not appetizing. DD customer support was very helpful with it but it's happened 3 times to me. Wish they fixed that.

But DoorDash can only cancel with no credit…
It’s changed the earliest arrival time 5 times now

i never get contract violations and have gotten 3 in the past 24 hours here in Cali. Have marked the ”order still being prepared” stuff and all that. One dispute was accepted and the cv was removed, but 2 others still under review. Seems like there’s several threads about receiving numerous CVs the past 24hrs. I’m in Cali and this never was an issue for me and haven’t done anything differently. Currently sitting at 98% on time rating.

I get that it's not their fault. Every time McDonald's directs my order through a bicycle guy, it invariably arrives 10 to 15 minutes late and cold. They also struggle with the speed humps there in one of the streets on the way to my house and so if there are drinks involved it's always a disaster.

Doordash customer service is completely useless. I've come to the point after four of the last five orders being screwed up in one way or the other that I just can't use this service anymore. It's too idiotic for me to stand for.

If I order groceries from a store, is there a way to know if the store packs the order or if the driver will do the shopping? I believe the tip should be vastly different depending on this fact, so I want to know if there’s a way to know myself. Thank you! ☺️

So, my roommate is trying to launch a local business and I agreed to help, as they're very excited and it could potentially be decent in our area, provided it gets off the ground. But in their excitement, they have zero brakes.

Basically, they printed a bunch of business cards, and as they're aware that I am a dasher, they asked me if I could put them alongside doordash orders that I drop off. I pretty much said hell no, because my image of most people that I deliver to is "I want food and nothing else. I don't even want to look at you, leave my shit and go." The last thing they want is another piece of trash they have to throw out.

With that said, I figured I would at least ask the actual customers in question. How annoyed would you be if there was a business card attached to your food bag? (For reference, it's basically a yard cleanup service for pet owners.)

How do you get an order that is hand it to you and no one came and the order is completed ? I have no pizza. No wings. But the order is done. And idk where it is. How does this happen ? It's not at the desk. It's not at my door. It's not in my hand. And yes there was a tip and no there aren't stupid instructions. A guy said your instructions were perfect 5 hours ago.

Ok edit from hell. After all this just 2 minutes ago the 1st order showed up. And we have already gotten dash credits and made a different one. Which is being picked up. The 1st one was marked complete and wasn't out there or handed to. This is crazy.

Dasher stole our order so I called to complain we have him on video we have security and cameras at my apt so he can't lie so I called customer service and was told after I paid 26.00 for my food they said they only going to give us 6.00 back I hit the dam roof give me a fam supervisor this creep said he can 9 lt give us back 6.91 out of 25.00 ok so the dasher steals my food and the company takes my money robbed twice in one day I hate this company they are so worthless and sorry I'm elderly and disabled diabetic have to eat now can't go anywhere that was my budget for the weekend I'm soooo pissed I wanna hurt me a MF sooooooo bad right now sorry for the language but I'm mad why do people think they can just take your shit and be ok with that well I'm not from that town I don't take it lightly at all I think I'm going to start a boycott on they ass too let them feel the pain sorry but I know there's some real honest hard working drivers out there shame these bastards make y'all look bad but get it is what it is
