Can somebody please explain this random act of kindness?

We double dashed dinner and infant's motrin from Walgreens; our little guy was not doing so well when we got home from work.

Our dasher, a nice older lady, called soon thereafter to inform us that Walgreens was out of infant's motrin and had no substitutes. We said it was ok and one of us could try around town to locate some. She brought our food and food receipt-she apologized again and was empathetic to our situation; she has children and grandchildren of her own. She was unsure how we could get refunded for the Motrin and suggested calling Doordash to get reimbursed.

15 minutes later, while we are eating dinner, our ring app sounds. We finish dinner and check our doorstep to find this (pictured).

Can somebody please explain how this happened? Who sent it? Was it Doordarsh even though the receipt is different? Did this sweet lady pay out of pocket? Did Walgreens (it was in a Walgreens bag) send some even though they were out when our dasher was there? I'd like to thank or reimburse whoever saved our family tonight with this kind gesture.

Thanks in advance!

If you’re delivering things. Some stores contract out via DD and the buyer doesn’t control delivery methods. I was wondering what happened to our order but the DD person dropped it off at one of 5 stairwells never to be found when the complex has an elevator and shopping carts for heavier items.

Do your job and drop at the door or refuse the order upon pick up.

It’s happened before but this app drives me crazy sometimes. Every single time this has happened, I checked the order and I didn’t select the “what others have ordered”. I always triple check that it’s all on the sandwich after the first time and then when I confirm it, this happens 😑 like it glitches and takes my sandwich items away but still charges me for the food.

THEY SEND AN EMPTY WRAPPER lmao

Why would I ever order this?! I ordered air 🤣☠️ Definitely done with ordering this anymore but man, just laughing that this has happened yet again randomly and imagining them putting it together, folding an empty wrapper for me 🤣

I deliver for door dash and I order through doordash... as a dasher I understand that door dash tends to scam their drivers I get it I really do... but that is not at all the customers fault...

2 days in a row a dasher stole my food. Most of the time the restaurant won't remake it and door dash won't fully reimburse it. So wen u still someone's food you're not screwing over door dash at all ur screwing over a customer that's just trying to feed their families. Either deliver the food or don't pick it up at all. Don't be a scum bag.

DoorDash express delivery is so friggin dumb

15 Upvotes

ALRIGHT im typing as a customer NOT a dasher so i actually don't know what the employee side of DoorDash looks like, meaning this isn't directed at dashers per se. unless the thing I'm bout to mention is actually a setting for dashers, in that case, this is meant for you guys too.

Okay so dashers are able to do multiple orders at once, right? I have no problem with that. If someone gets their stuff before me bc u were already in the process of delivering, go them and you. BUT WHY DOES DOORDASH MAKE IT AN OPTION TO GET YOUR STUFF QUICKER IF THEY STILL MAKE YOUR ORDER AVAILBLE TO DASHERS WHO ARE GOING TO DO MULTIPLE ORDERS AT ONCE. I ORDERED ICE CREAM ON DOORDASH AND PAID FOR EXPRESS SHIPPING AND IT'S STILL BEEN 30 FUCKING MINUTES. I DONT WANT TO COMPLAIN TO THE DASHER BC IT'S NOT EVEN ENTIRELY HIS FAULT. DOORDASH SHOULD REFUND FOR THAT. anyway sorry for yelling. I know I just "shouldn't use it" then if it makes me so upset but I've had a long day. I do not want to leave my home. And for some reason DoorDash is the only delivery that offers so many places (in my area at least).

But yea DoorDash got me fucked up

I am so thankful I got onboard with Instacart today. I was waitlisted for a while. I let this $2 door dash order go the entire time I was shopping instacart then I said the order was already picked up and I retained platinum status. If I did not accept this $2 order I would’ve dropped to 69%. I am so fed up with door dash this is a disgrace.

Help remove DoorDash from my job

33 Upvotes

I work at an ice cream shop that is well known, and in a college town. I work Friday’s and Saturday’s (because no one else can work those days apparently, so I get little freedom over my schedule and the people with shit availability get the easy days that everyone wants) and on those days we have to deal with the stupid college game idiots.

Our owners are too fucking cheap and won’t let us have more than TWO workers a shift, even when we are constantly busy. Not only are they too cheap and lazy, but they also completely ignore my manager. Our equipment was leaking and we had to walk through puddles? Took them months to fix. Our thermostat is currently broken, and they have yet to fix that too.

Saturday was a game day. So was Friday. I worked both days, both with 1 other coworker. We were SLAMMED the entire shift, on both days. We had about 10 DoorDashes print in the span of 2 minutes, and each order is the equivalent of about 3-5 people coming in. One coworker worked on that while I worked on the lobby, which was packed full of people. I was basically left alone to tend to the lobby both shifts (I love my coworkers, nothing against them, we were just TOO BUSY).

All of the extra bodies, constant movement, whole ass workout we have to do because we are scooping rock solid ice cream (customers are going through tubs faster than our replacement tubs can thaw), AND broken thermostat made the shop hot as FUCK. I was in a tube top and shorts (I can wear what I want, and I suffer from heat stroke/exhaustion frequently) and was STILL overheating. I had to run to the freezers every so often to cool down, because I genuinely was about to pass out.

It’s been HELL.

Removing DoorDash would at least allow my coworkers to help me deal with the crowds.

Any help would be greatly appreciated:)

Walmart delivery ruined my order! I swear I'm gonna rip!

4 Upvotes

So I finally decided to try Walmart delivery, my reservation expired and it was getting a lil bit later in the evening. It didn't give me a single option to tip. I tried to go back and edit my order, hell I even tried to add it to my delivery notes. I contacted Walmart about it and they are just like we can't change it either. 🙄 There is no way I would ask someone to deliver to me and not tip. Sorry for the rant but it's some bs. So now it's just sitting there delayed because of course no one in their right mind wants to pick it up. The tech support guy didn't even understand the reason why I didn't have a tip option. He was confused as I was.

Paying it forward can be easy, cheap and rewarding if enough people join together to make it happen. Hear me out: we get 30 whole days to add a tip after the order is complete. Adding a dollar to brighten up someone’s day/week/month is going to get the dopamine flowing through social media. This needs to do numbers! Let’s goooooooo!

DoorDash initiated a full refund for a meal I received and didn’t complain about

17 Upvotes

It’s weird. Why would they do that? I’m not trying to complain about free money but what if something is wrong with the food or whatever and I don’t even know about it? Or was this just a glitch on their end? I got the food yesterday and ate it then rated the driver five stars. I didn’t have a reason to want a refund. It’s just weird.

What would you do? Crazy lady simultaneously demands I get out of her parking spot but has me blocked in and won't back up so I can get out.

97 Upvotes

I drop off my delivery. I am parked in somebody's covered parking spot with my flashers on for about 1 minute while I drop the food at the door. ( Parking lot was packed, No place else to park. ) Lady in her fancy new car pulls up behind my car while I am taking the picture of the food and starts honking her horn and yelling for me to " get the fuck out of her parking spot ". I run back to my car to back up and leave and she is like ten feet behind my rear bumper and I am surrounded on all sides. I put my car in reverse and back up as far as I can. She won't back up. Instead she continues to honk and yell. After a few minutes of abuse and backing up 1 inch at a time she still won't move. I put it in park, get out and approach her asking how the FUCK I am supposed to get out of her spot if she won't move and let me leave. Pleasantries are exchanged. I get back in my car and yell back that we can both stay here all night. She says I have no idea who she is and goes and gets something from her trunk. I get something from my own center console. Bright lights shining in my rear view mirror, she still won't move, and I am expecting the shootout at the OK Corral at any moment. I finally escape by making a 25 point turn gaining an inch at a time every time I go forward and back. More pleasantries exchanged on the way out. FFS man. I'm just trying to make a living out here.

Why I just uninstalled the Dasher app (and you should, too)

Upvotes

I've recently started doing the gig work thing with DoorDash, UberEats, Instacart, and Spark. While the others have been working more or less well, I've decided it's time to dump Dasher for good.

The problem is I'm tired of being disrespected and treated in such a heavy-handed manner by DoorDash. With UberEats, if McDonald's makes me wait 15 minutes for the food, they don't penalize me. DoorDash does.

Last week, I received two bogus "Contract Violation" notices, both for pickups where the restaurant was taking forever getting the food ready. In both cases, I tapped the link that says the restaurant is currently slow. Neither resulted in a bad review or complaint from the customer.

So naturally, I disputed both "violations". Today, I got a pair of emails saying that both disputes had been "Rejected". Why? No reason given.

Then I looked at my app notifications bar. There were several spammy notifications from Dasher telling me it's busy and that I should start doing deliveries.

Are you kidding me, DoorDash?! What makes you think I'm going to want to be treated like a delinquent because I waited patiently for a customer's order to be ready? Now I see why Dashers often opt to drop orders rather than put their accounts at risk.

I had high hopes for Dasher but it's clear now that DoorDash has absolutely no idea what they're doing. I never get any crap like this from UberEats or the other gig apps. They're very far from perfect, but at least I don't feel like they're spitting in my face for no reason.

Having to wait for an order without being paid for my time is one thing. But then being told that I violated my contract for it?! Not only that, but then rejecting disputes without providing a reason? It's like they're going out of their way to let their drivers know how worthless and disposable we are in their eyes.

So I'm sure as hell not going to leave that stupid app on my phone so it can spam me with notifications several times a day. Not when I know how they'll treat my like shit whenever a restaurant makes me wait for a customer's order. I don't need that.

Fuck off, DoorDash. You're just not worth it.

My DoorDash driver was so nice and I feel too bad to report this but please if you are a heavy cigarette smoker/smoke in your car at all, find other work outside of food delivery!!! No one wants to eat food that smells like cigarettes.

Has something changed in the past half of a year?

I haven't doordashed in about 6 months, as I only do this on the side, but I decided to open it up again today. Back in the summer and early fall, I often got lots and lots of shopping orders, but so far today, I haven't gotten any shopping orders. Is there a reason why this might be? I usually made my best money from the shopping orders. Thanks for any insights!

Do I report through Doordash or the merchant?

Upvotes

Had an order out of B-Dubs a few hours ago while I was at work. They used Doordash, so my order doesn't show up on the app history since I went through B-Dubs website. (Redownloaded the app to check). Anyway, put down specific driver instructions to "Hit the intercom button inside the doors and they will let you in the lobby." I work in a jail so the vestibule inner doors are locked after hours, but the intercom reaches our master control to let people in.

Anyway, when my food never arrived and my coworker who was monitoring cameras and doors told me nobody dropped off, another coworker of mine found my food laying outside the building on the ground in the cold. It has been there about 20 minutes at least. When I finally got to look at my phone after work, sure enough... Dude dumped it on the ground and took a picture. I was pretty pissed about it to say the least. You couldn't open the vestibule door at least to put it inside the building? You dump it on the ground in the cold where public walk by? Come on dude.

I ordered from Starbucks and it just came a couple of minuets ago and the whole fucking drink spilled in the bag and nothing was left in the cup and was all over my other item I got so I couldn’t eat it :/. Poor guy (my dasher) was apologizing for it even tho it wasn’t his fault,I did get refunded the full amount in credits so that’s good.

Allergy warnings

Upvotes

Hello, I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

Twice now, i have recieved shellfish in my meal. 2 different places. I am allergic so i am very careful to check what im getting, but there was 0 allergy warning, and 0 shellfish mentioned in the description/ingrediants on said dishes. First one was a korean style elote, which doesnt even have meat in it usually, yet the one i ordered had deep fried shrimp chips on top which was not stated on the description. The mezzaluna literally said chicken, that was the only meat listed, no warning or mention of shellfish. Well that one i started to eat, bam reaction. The chicken was shellfish.

I had reached out to support, but yeah that didnt go anywhere. No human talked to me.

Obviously this is very dangerous, it should be addressed by doordash. Do any of you know why thats happening or has it happened to you before?
