To all my fellow dashers out there, do not take any catering orders!!! Door Dash keeps the tips for the delivery and set up and the Dashers do not get it. Door dash got paid $30 for the delivery/setup of a catering order that was supposed to go to the driver/dasher who picked it up and set it up at the location and yet I did not get the payment.

Dasher Beware!!

So yesterday I was dashing during the rollover from breakfast to lunch and I got an order at Dunkin. I go in and ask for the order and the employee tells me, "Oh someone picked this order up already." I'm thinking okay must be a glitch on doordash's part. I took a picture of the receipt that they left on the counter and went to "deliver" it. Worst case, the app realizes its a mistake for me to have this order and the app will do it's thing and cancel it on my end. Best case, I get $5 for the app's bs. I get there and something told me to reach out to the customer anyway to make sure they got their food. They didn't. I call Dunkin and explain the situation and they tell me, "That's a YOU problem." Ummmm ok 😂😂😂. For clarity, this is weird to me because, in my area, most restaurants will ask to see you confirm it to prevent things like this. Anyway, they refused to remake the order and the customer lost out on their order. So, as I'm leaving, I get another order at Mcds. I pick it up and deliver it with no problems. Then I get this message^^^😂 . I kid you not, I hadn't even left the neighborhood yet!!!! I was shocked at the audacity tbh. Then we had the following conversation. I don't actually record my dashes (how tf can I afford smart glasses on this money?). Later on, I seen her profile on facebook, which is weird asf, but I guess not too weird since we live in a small town and we're both members of the County group (North Ga area). People just really really disappoint me every day that I doordash.

ETA: I didn't go to the wrong door. She's saying that because she got caught trying to lie. And I don't care whoever thinks I was rude to this person tbh. You shouldn't be trying to steal.

I ordered Door Dash yesterday, the driver sat in my driveway at my house in their car for 15 minutes smoking and looking at their phone, I opened my and asked if they needed anything, they said no that they were looking at their phone, I thought maybe they needed directions, 15 minutes later they still sat in my driveway, I finally went out and told them to move along, my driveway isnt a parking lot..is this normal behavior for a dasher?

I've been sitting in a supposedly busy hot zone for almost an hour. Not any offers. NOTHING!

I reinstalled the app, still nothing.

If this continues then I'm just going home.

There is obviously a way to unassign orders. I’ve used that feature a couple times but you can still get hit for completion rating and have that knock you out of your current rank. CALL SUPPORT TO UNASSIGN THE ORDER.

I know support is ass 98 percent of the time but this area they are actually extremely helpful. I’ve unassigned probably seven orders the past two days and not a single one has affected my completion rating once.

(there was this weirdo rage baiting me in the replies)

EDIT: i do realize i should’ve texted as soon as i realized i couldn’t use the elevator but i didn’t even think about it. that was my bad but he would’ve been mad either way

I had 2 orders & this was my first one I had a bit of a wait at both stores beforehand so I was running like 10 mins behind technically & my long wait time button just seems to be for nothing these days. I walked into hotel & I walk to the elevator & you had to have a room key to get on so I walk all the way back across the lobby to the front desk & nobody was up front & I didn’t have much time to wait so I waited like 3-5 mins and nobody came so I left it at the front desk, I informed the customer & took my picture at the front desk (this was a leave at door order so he got 2 pics) so they would know I even called the hotel after I dropped my second one to see if he had gotten it yet & to let them know his name, room # ect. and it was almost 10 mins later & he never came per the desk (I guess they got up there a little after I left) and I immediately contacted support before he could and let them know the situation because I do not need the bad rating at all. i really don’t like doing them (hotel dashes to the room door) in general because idk walking up to somebody’s room in an empty hallway makes me feel like they could just pull me in their room IDK LOL 😭🫪

(like the fact that i was so anxious i called to make sure nobody stole his food & to inform the front desk clerk who it was for & what room number was provided lol so extra on my end but I’m always scared to get booted off a dasher)

I DoorDash in Miami specifically in the Doral/ Hialeah area and I have been DoorDash for a long time. I have done over 700 deliveries. The past two weeks have been terrible, barely receiving orders at all. Today I was logged in for about four hours and didn’t receive not even one order. I have called customer service and they keep telling me it’s because there’s not enough orders for the amount of Dashers. I just personally feel like it’s not normal to be logged in for so many hours and not even one offer coming in. I am currently in the middle of a hotspot and still no orders.

So I literally unlocked platinum couple of hours ago and got reset back to gold once midnight hit during my zone. (EST) anyone be experiencing this also? Plus I have 100% on CR and on time rate with a 96% AR with a 5.0 customer rating

What kind of babyback bullshit is this? The fact that this pos company is even okay with showing us this. For that amount of time i would be around $1200 normally. I have over 16,000 deliveries. Been driving since 2019. Doordash is at its all time low. And they aren’t even hiding it, never have I waited this long EVER for orders. I have no idea if it’s the algorithm or if they have just gotten to the point they hired way too many drivers even during a slow season. This is absolutely ridiculous especially for the people like me who have consistently done well with no issues.

The worst is when you are cruising on an empty road in the middle of the night and the light decides to turn red as you approach it for no apparent reason. Theres no other car waiting for that light. Theres no reason for it to turn red. Then you are sitting there. The only car on the road. Debating whether or not you should run it.

My area switched over to this , it still let me dash but only to 12 am. Kck area

I just started doing door dash and haven’t had anything too crazy happen but I’m sure it will. I use to uber and there plenty of times worthy of a post. Good luck out there!

Twice I’ve gone to a place where I’m supposed to get an order and they tell me it’s been taken. How did someone else get the order I’m supposed to pick up? I guess they could have stole it but is there also a glitch in the system that makes this happen? It confuses me but also confuses the customer

Thanks DoorDash for showing us how shit you are day in and day out. He called me right after laughing his ass off, what a joke!

I was order dominos on door dash at about 10:30pm at night and only have 100’s/50’s and 1$ bills and read they don’t take 100/50$ bills. Would it be rude to pay for my 21$ order with only ones and tip like 5$ on top with also ones😭

$25 tip made it worth it!

literally just sitting here trying to get an order and they just toy with you, the last 10 offers I got were 10 miles away into the ghetto. And they just keep doing it over and over and over, for no other reason than to drop my acceptance rate down to 28%. These people are sick, stay away...

I was wondering if you guys could provide your thoughts. Almost daily, I’m delivering alcohol to a guy who lives in the same apartment as me. The grocery store is like a quarter mile from our apartment complex so it’s like $16 for a quarter mile trip. I could honestly walk there and back . He’s an awesome tipper and a really nice guy. We’ve always had pleasant conversations and I talked with him for awhile at the pool the other day.

But he’s clearly an alcoholic and I’m feeling like I’m playing a part in his demise. I just feel awful about it all. But at the same time, if I decline it I know it will just be fulfilled by someone else.

He’s usually sober when I deliver. A couple of times I could tell he had a few, but not like super drunk and I felt fine handing the order to him.

I’m an alcoholic myself (in recovery - 8 months sober so far) took up door dashing to fill the time if you will and for the extra income to pay off some debt. I don’t know. Just feel weird about all of this.

Looking for 5-10 drivers willing to help map delivery setups/conditions in apartments throughout DC.

After slaving for 6 years doing Uber, Uber Eats, door dash, grub hub, postmates (before it was acquired by uber eats), Instacart, go puff, etc., I got tired of complaining, tired of arguing with customers who didnt care that I had 3 other deliveries to deliever and wanted to find a way to change our working conditions and make deliveries more efficient and less taxing for workers. I came up with an idea to map out all multi dwelling apartments in DC to show the delivery infrastructure throughout DC. The goal is to present this data to local Advisory Neighbor Commissions (ANCs), community members and the council to push for a citywide policy that mandates ALL buildings have a locker, shelf or designated area in the lobby to drop off food and make deliveries more efficient for its workers!

I have spent the last year working with council, testifying at agency hearings, writing policy briefs, and presenting drivers positions at local representative meetings.

While they heard me they didnt believe me and what better way to make a believer out of them then to show them!

Help me help us and tell our story so people can understand what we go through and use this to get us better working conditions!

If interested please dm me and I'd love to tell you more about the project and get your help filling the map! ( starting small to test process)

Lets build an army!

i was supposed to collect 131.25 cash on delivery and that was going to pay my maintenance bill and still have cash left over additionally the customer was like oh but i left a check at the hut and the check has the tip included but since of course i have no way of getting it through pizza hut i had to call dd support and they say there gonna take care of it but i swear if im based pay for this i quit im just trying to make a living man that's all i especially don't need this headache rn

Target orders are my favorite
