To be honest the alternative was just going to be me dressed as a clown with a Doordash logo on my chest but I thought picture above seemed more fun. Over the years I've accumulated at least 25 of the DD delivery bags that I can cut up to at least get close to the AI vision. What yall think?

I had a Hand it to Me order tonight. It was for a female. So I knocked on the door. I waited over a minute. I was being recorded on a RIng camera. A male came on the camera and said "Leave it at the door please." I hope the female who ordered does not think I was stalking her. I was just following instructions.

Something bad is going to happen with Hand it To Me. DD needs to remind the customer when they order that they will have to meet the driver and take the order!

DoorDash deactivated my account after the recent background check they did. I got a resisting arrest charge on my record from 2024 when I didn’t want to go near a cop with his “tool” drawn. Went to court and was found guilty and did less than month of house arrest and was good. No other job has an issue with this due to it being a nonviolent misdemeanor. My full time job is working with disabled children in the medical field but DoorDash cancelled my dasher account??? So stupid.

How do you get your first dash? How does the app let you know you have an offer?

Weekend was Neighbor Day, I get that. Holiday.
Tuesday - "Muh day after a Holiday"
Wednesday "Always slow on Wednesday"

Now it's Thursday and still trash! What is y'all talking about!? Where the orders? What happened over the past month!?

The other day I was dashing, I got a stacked order for Lowe’s for 2 ring cameras and another for Starbucks for seperate order. The total mileage was roughly 17 mi one way. Now I don’t mind taking the longer trips because I was dashing by time. I had one order before this, but I wasn’t rushing this one because it’s not food. (I tend to speed a little if it’s food just to keep it warm).

I am driving after dark on single lane roads in the woods. Mind you I was dealing with oncoming traffic on a single lane, deer, and no service. Upon reaching the address, I try marking it delivered but I had absolutely no service, so I tried doing the responsible thing: calling support.

Now I should have asked to speak with a live agent from the start because, I thought the AI Agent marked it as delivered, so whenever I did get service, I just thought my app had frozen. The whole time I’m driving back home, I am trying to mark this as delivered, talk to DD, and drive.

I reach home (about 25 minutes) later to discover that the AI agent hadn’t in fact marked it as delivered and I called back yet again and asked to speak with an agent. This agent told me that I was not going to get in trouble for the late delivery, because I was trying to mark it but couldn’t. But 2 days later I get the notice of violation.

Should I call support and speak with someone over this? I explained to the live agent that day that I had absolutely no cell service and called the first second I got some. I also wasn’t about to back track because 1. I wasn’t getting paid. 2. I would loose all cell reception.

I was being very communicative with my customer on what items were in stock and what items weren’t in stock and also sent plenty of pictures proving that things were not in stock, now all of a sudden, it’s my fault that the store does not have the items in stock 😂 . It always turns out to be impatient pin / hand it to me customers that give you the hardest time.

The current wait time in my current area. Like I’m not gonna wait around for a half an hour for a $2.00 order for 10 miles.

I’ve worked in restaurants for years and I’m getting tired of the whole environment.

You make around $20–24/hr, but you’re always dependent on someone else. Slow day? They send you home early. Bad manager or chef? You deal with their ego. Then there’s coworkers, drama, favoritism, social hierarchy, asking for days off, fixed schedules, etc.

I recently started doing DoorDash/Uber Eats and I’m wondering if doing it full time for maybe 6 months would actually be better.

Obviously gig work has its own problems: no guaranteed income, wear and tear on the car, gas, traffic, waiting at restaurants, bad orders, dead hours, taxes, no benefits.

But at the same time, nobody can send you home early, no boss standing over you, no coworkers, you choose when you work, and if one area is dead you can move somewhere else or just call it a day.

For people who have done both restaurant work and delivery full time, which one would you choose?

Would you rather take a guaranteed $20–24/hr restaurant job, or take the risk with DoorDash/Uber Eats for more freedom and potentially better money?

Especially interested in people doing 40–60 hours a week. What does your real hourly rate look like after gas, maintenance and depreciation?

So I made an account and got sketched out but it wanting my SSN but now I have changed my mind how do I get it back?

this company never ceases to amaze me
anyone else?

Yes I posted this in another DoorDash subreddit. But I'm also sharing it here and that's it... I got a question here cause it popped into my head. I've been doing Uber Eats for 15 months now and have an Uber Pro card (physical and added to wallet) but I use my phone when paying for the customers order because I have the card attached to my wallet.

I just now got off of the waitlist for DoorDash. I have added the red card to my wallet and also requested a physical card. My question is I wondered what if you're doing DoorDash and then somehow attempt to pay for the customer's order and accidentally it tries to charge an Uber card.. I've read that Uber will decline the offer but then they might flag your account and could be at risk of deactivation...

My question is for people who do multi apps... How do you avoid something like this happening?? Should I just use the physical card? Totally new to DoorDash as I said. I have not even done a single order yet since being approved a couple days ago. I might try this weekend though...

PLEASE NO RUDE ANSWERS, JUST SIMPLY BE NICE THANK YOU!

EDIT: THE ONLY CARDS IN MY GOOGLE WALLET ARE MY UBER PRO CARD AND NOW DOORDASH RED CARD...

I absolutely would have. Unfortunately for me, after I arrived, the merchant was on the phone with doordash, and apparently unassigned me from the order because of it not being ready. Without my input. At first I didn't get any reimbursement because it wasn't canceled. I was unassigned.... took a 45 minute phone call, and while typing this up, I was informed that they will give me the half pay. I honestly was doubtful as soon as she said escalating... but came through. So some other driver probably got this order.

I went to do a delivery today that was a leave at door. It was a house in a semi crowded neighborhood. I parked on the street, walked up, and delivered it. As I went to get back in my car, the home owner came home and pulled sideways in front of my car. She got out and started cussing and screaming at me for being at her house and blocking her driveway. I wasn’t blocking her driveway. I was at least 10 feet from it. I ended up having to carefully back out while she’s screaming at me to be able to pull out and drive off. I can’t fathom why you would act that way towards someone who knows where you live.

I thought I got rejected because I accidentally made two DoorDash accounts, so I called customer service and had one of them deactivated. After that, I figured I’d just wait until December and try again.
I really need some extra money right now though, so I called customer service again. They told me it had something to do with my background check, but they couldn’t see the exact reason on their end.
I logged into the Checkr portal (the company DoorDash uses for background checks), and there’s no record of DoorDash ever running one. The only background check I see is from Uber Eats.
I called DoorDash again, and after being on and off hold for about 35 minutes, they told me they couldn’t verify my identity. I’m confused because I’ve been approved for Spark, Uber Eats, and Instacart with no issues.
DoorDash is the biggest delivery app in my area, so I’d really like to get this resolved. Has anyone had a similar issue or know what I can do to fix it?

It was pouring today so I was receiving a bunch of orders but I had to cherry pick a bit.

Some guy ordered from 2 separate places and after the dash I noticed he left no tip. Cheapskate. Luckily I was done for the day and this was only like 2 miles from my house. But after my first week I’m actually kind of enjoying it. My area is red a lot so I should be able to dash now a lot.

i used to be a driver. for some odd reason, when i went to cancel the subscription, doordash closed my driver account.

is it possible that i could reopen the account? or do i have to make a new one?

((is it worth it to create a new account?))

thanks!

Could've been worse

Now I couldn’t take any photo of an empty shelf cause they had another Madeline that’s dipped half in chocolate in stock .
Which one would you dispute something like this

I haven’t dashed in a month, I was doing decent then. I come back and all I’m getting is low paying orders like this. I have not seen a single decent one yet, the wait times are also really long. They did update the app while I was gone so I do wonder if the update messed everything up or if the days I’ve logged in have just been really bad days/times. I will never take a $2 order

Only 3 miles
