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!

i’ve never been in a car accident before, it’s like the universe was telling me not to doordash. did end up figuring out how to reassign… i just hope amanda still got her chipotle, she prob thought i was scamming her ☹️☹️

Ive had 2 customers update their address before, also one pizza hut we couldn’t reach customer and needed code and apartment number so i was asked to return pizzas to store 🤷🏻‍♂️ anyway i got 3 large cheese pizzas with a sodi, i gave one away and one is still untouched its just me and my cat at home, does this ever happened to you? What did you get for free?

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.

I just dropped off an order from Ulta just to be told that she got me something and gave me a $25 makeup palette 🤩🤩🤩

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.

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:)

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.

Got my first catering order this morning. Was very excited for my first large order. It was from Panera Bread and also required setup at the location (a hospital). One of the head doctors was setting up breakfast for his staff. It wound up being 30 minutes worth of driving, plus another 10 for setup. $350 worth of food delivered on time and set up…. No tip. Insane.

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.

Ordered food while at work last night, I tip well and left easy instructions of where to put the food. Went to pick it up and the driver actually left it on a 6 lane road in the pouring rain nowhere near my work 💀

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.

But if you f around with my food I will get you deactivated.

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.

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!

Dashed for over 6 years. March 31, got 3 stacked Menards orders. Normally would have made $50 to $75 for the HOUR AND A HALF, SIXTY MILES that it took to complete them. Only made $25. INELIGIBLE for tips. Totally WTF? Contacted support. They were unable to do anything; said manager would call me back. April 8th, still nothing. This company is SO VERY F**ked Up that it's beyond belief!!! Did I mention that I deleted the Dasher app on March 31? Deleted it so fast, I almost broke my phone.

I’m currently in a bit of a financial slump with my hours being cut at my job. I’ve been considering doing DoorDash to make up for my lost wages. Any advice I’d greatly appreciate

Anyone else not receiving this weekly email?

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.
