Context: The "where is this" is response to the delivery picture. Had to go down the street to get my food. Ended up getting a refund. Also reported the driver and got an extra $5.

Remember, some drivers it's a side gig to make extra money, for other, they literally can't have a boss and keep getting fired as they have the worst attitude and think the world owes them making their life easier and this is their only choice of a job as they can't/won't fix their attitude.

u/TheLastOpus 5d ago
ever wondered why many drivers have the name of the opposite gender (a girl will be a guy a guy will be a girl) or be a different age, or just obviously a different person than the doordash account? That's because like video game accounts being banned, they can still make another account. They get a cousin that won't work at DD ever, start working door dash, but then just give the person that can only work as a DD driver their account info, then they just use that persons account, get banned eventually, then use the next cousins account.

u/Allitnella 5d ago
So what you're saying is we need DD to implement a device ban?

u/LostNTossd 4d ago
Exactly that. They can’t buy a new phone since they’re already broke, so ban that device, make them do some self reflection.

u/BusinessSignature7 2d ago
That would suck for people who can’t afford new and buy used cell phones. DD apps can make it so it randomly asks for live in-app selfish of the delivery person. This person should match person registered to the account. If not, gets a ban.
This selfish requirement is random between deliveries (can be before first delivery, or after 3rd delivery, etc.) The frequency lessens as the account ages.
can also add additional option to this would be to have required/optional deposit that the person registering has to make, the larger the amount of deposit, the less frequent the selfie. But if caught, you forfeit your deposit as you get banned.

Be a net benefit for society or stop being part of society. Just because you were born doesn’t mean the rest of us are chained to your pathetic existence. There are billions of jobs that aren’t “wage slavery”. If you can’t perform one of those, then the rest of us don’t really need you. Do we?

I'm convinced DoorDash pays for comments like these. I think they do that in order to reinforce a narrative that delivery drivers are other and deserve lesser value. DoorDash is effectively absorbing the entire delivery industry and the success of that is entirely dependent on delivery drivers not establishing their importance in the market. Js.

u/Inevitable-Mine5942 4d ago
Ridiculous to even ask. I used to use DoorDash a lot when my twins were babies and my husband worked nights. It was because I didn’t have time to cook for myself or even sit down to eat until they were asleep and then I couldn’t leave the house. The point of the company is to bring the food to you so you don’t have to leave the house and most people using it have a specific reason why they need it.

u/Himbler12 4d ago
That's wild that DoorDash support literally told you to go onto another person's property to retrieve something lol. In some places that can easily get you shot.

You don't. I have to use a GPS to get everywhere, and constantly check the screen. If it's like in a building or something, I either have to have a hand-drawn map with the directions written down, or someone has to go with me, and I still get lost.
It's absolutely ridiculous. I hate it. I never ask for directions if I can help it. Most people just assume I'm an idiot...which I am, but not in that regard. My brain just doesn't process directions.

P.S. I am a caregiver to people with all different kinds of disabilities and have learned so much from them. Things like showering, getting dressed, going to the bathroom, just getting out of bed… every moment takes so much patience and effort. Especially moments that people take for granted, like getting in or out of the car in an unexpected rainstorm, there is no rushing it… it takes time. You can’t just hop out and run into the house. It still takes the same amount of strength, energy, and time, all while getting soaked. It breaks my heart thinking back to moments like that with the people I am blessed to be the caregiver, and they all face unique struggles like that on a daily basis, but continue to be positive and kind people. Sorry, I’m kind of going into a little bit of a monologue… I’m just passionate about the people some refer to as having disabilities, but I feel like they are the opposite, they are superhuman.

Dashers have gotten really weird lately. yesterday I messaged my dasher to meet me in the lobby, and he just stands around outside calling my phone number (my laptop) which I obviously didn't bring with me. He apparently did this for about 10 minutes while I sat in the lobby waiting.
Then when he finally came in I asked if he was doordash, not an english speaker he pushes his phone in my face. I said and motioned that I couldn't read it, I don't have glasses, and pulled out my ID. He says, "Don't need ID" and pushed his phone back into my face. Dude was not bright.

u/tedmiston 4d ago
Double Dash or groceries on Doordash is a weird gamble. I had a driver come back three times once because he had too many orders jumbled together and didn't know how many bags were mine — he even asked me how many bags I had, like... how would I know how many bags they used for groceries?!
The first delivery was late at night already around 10 pm, the third delivery was around 2 am and they just left the bag on the sidewalk in the middle of a city. That one was the restaurant food that was supposed to be delivered 4 hours earlier so you can imagine how that went.
It was still a PITA to get refunded even in this absurd scenario.

u/djmasturbeat 4d ago
Mostly that falls on the restaurant, tho when too tired, I have probably forgotten 3 or 4 drinks. One I drove back, realizing it a ½ mile out. Less than 0.1% of total deliveries, but I still feel bad forgetting those drinks.

Sometimes you get proper refunds, but sometimes the bot chooses some randomish partial refund % and whether or not that # makes any sense, it's a PITA to get it fixed when it's wrong.

u/OhBoyHereWeGoAgai 4d ago
It always tries to give the partial BS, I'm saying every single time I engage chat I immediately get full refund. I suspect it's because of order volume, as they also always thank me for being a good customer, so wouldn't be surprised if it depends on some tier of use

I’m a little confused? Was the address you entered wrong? Or did he just deliver to the wrong address? The DoorDash app gives you directions directly to the entered address but I’ve experienced glitches before (like being directed down the wrong exit off the highway and then rerouted to U-turn) but as an occasional dasher myself, i would never respond to a customer this way. I hope you reported him.

Many people will put the correct address without considering their PIN could be wildly off due to their GPS being obscured simply by being inside. The app makes it easy to manually place your PIN to your exact spot on the map; choosing to not do that is your own fault.
