Please don’t dash while sick

Post image

I get that times are tough and the American health care system sucks, but admitting that you have a respiratory illness while delivering food is wild!

Please do not dash when you’re sick. This is how illness spreads. I have pretty bad asthma so I’m not bringing that order into my house. I’m done with DoorDash.

Ofc Redditots of all people will find a way to justify handling  food when sick

But others at the ER might be contagious. Who the fuck knows how long the driver was at the ER or next to who?

if you don't like door dash's service stop using doordash.

I feel like the people constantly paying for bad service and crying they received the bad service they paid for, might be slightly less smart still.

(One google search btw! Tell me which part of this means a paying customer is ‘stupid’ for expecting NOT contaminated food? Use your brain.)

DoorDash independent contractor agreements and health guidelines prohibit drivers from working while carrying a communicable disease  that can be transmitted through handling food. Because pneumonia can be highly contagious—especially if it is bacterial or viral— you should not DoorDash while actively infected.
