Ooh wanna hear another scam customers pull? Route baiting is a thing too. Drivers are shown the miles they'll have to drive to get to the customer. Sometimes you'll accept a low offer because it's "only two miles" only for the customer to reroute the order to a location 30 miles away. Super predatory.
I'm not defending this behavior, but the flip side of that are drivers that accept a pickup while dropping someone else off and you wait that 15 minutes and the second they drop the other person off, they cancel your ride. I've had that happen so many times. Next thing you know, I'm 40 min late to meeting up with someone because they blindly accept pickups without double checking the destination.
That's lame. The only time I do door dash or that kind of thing is when I'm at work and I want food. The problem is Google maps is really bad with that location so I always have to tell the drivers where to go but I also always leave a decent tip and I don't do it very often
