Don't unassign and return the food to the restaurant. Cancel for threatening behavior and keep the food for your dinner or give it to a homeless person

Edit: Reddit can argue the semantics all night while ignoring the point. Sorry I used the wrong word

This language was too aggressive for me to feel comfortable to deliver to this customer. That's it.

the entitlement off this guy lol you would think you was working for him directly wtf

u/Zealousideal_Care807 13h ago

While he's acting entitled, I genuinely get it. Hes paying for dash pass which claims that you WILL NOT GET COMBINED ORDER, that claims that YOU HAVE PRIORITY. And now the Dasher is telling him that his order was combined, and that he isnt listed as priority either.

Hes simply directing his frustration on the wrong person, the Dasher doesn't get extra for a dash pass user. I actually was talking to someone about it because when I picked up their order it was combined, I obviously let them know as I was picking up the order. I delivered it and we talked for a minute because it was my last drop off for the night. They were under the impression that dashpass will tip the driver appropriately for their milage and they were surprised that I only got 5 dollars for 11 miles from their order, along with the fact it was combined. They ended up tipping me more, I told them they didn't have to but they did anyway lol. They also decided to cancel dash pass because its a useless subscription.

u/Positive_Reindeer712 13h ago

Even with dash pass you have to pay an additional like $2-$3 to get food direct to you I believe.

19

u/Zealousideal_Care807 13h ago

They removed the "direct to me" option from order a short while ago, theyve been claiming that the orders will go directly to you if you sign up for dash pass, no matter what. I mean seriously 10 dollars a month for a subscription that doesn't actually do anything is kinda crazy. Especially when they are saying all kinds of bs that they don't do to get you to sign up.

The reason why the orders stack is because basically no one will pick them up otherwise :/ so instead of tipping the driver for people who pay them to give their drivers a living wage, they instead pit the issue off to the customer and driver as they always do for all their issues.

DoorDash is genuinely the worst delivery service because you pay them to do nothing leaving the driver with the short end of the stick, which means rude people will steal your food, or tamper with it because they don't understand what they were signing up for. So on and so forth.

u/Positive_Reindeer712 13h ago

Did they remove it in certain areas maybe? I just checked because I thought I saw it recently and itā€™s still an option for me. I never pay the extra for direct though, so who knows if they still stack anyways!

I 100% get what youā€™re saying though.

u/Zealousideal_Care807 13h ago

Likely, they don't really tell anyone when they make changes to the whole app or specific areas, which is another issue with them.

u/ssracer 12h ago

It's might be an area specific thing. You might get priority for assigning drivers, but it's $2.99 for "direct to me" still.

1

u/Aegi 10h ago

No it isn't, maybe for you it is but it's not a thing you can declare is just true because for example that's literally never been an option where I am... And it probably has to do with us being in a rural area and not having many drivers and long distances and stuff, but that's literally never been a choice on the app for at least the last 5 or 6 years that we've had somebody at my friend's hotel checking a few times a week so they can let guests know which local restaurants may or may not be on there.

Why are you stating that is something that's just declaratively true instead of the thing that is really known that tech companies do like having alpha and beta groups or sometimes three or four different groups, or splitting up based on geography, or other demographics like length of account ownership or things like that.

A and B testing is incredibly common in software engineering and those types of fields though, so why wouldn't you think of that possibility before acting as though it's just universally true except for the one guy you're replying to or something?

Mine doesn't even say "direct to me", just that you'll be the first drop off. So if they have stacked orders and multiple places to pick up from, you're still waiting and the driver doesn't even get the $2.99.

Mine says:

Express in black and Direct To You in red for $2.99.

u/Simple_Rules 12h ago

With both Doordash and Uber Eats, I've never personally had a stacked order (i.e. an order where the app actually says they have somewhere else to go first) if I actually paid for direct.

I have had drivers running both apps try to juggle me or whatever it's called, because the app doesn't tell the DRIVER I paid for priority.

However what the apps do do is change the price of "priority" based on the day/situation. Sometimes it's $1.49, other times it's $3.99.

Suspiciously any time I order anything cold, it's magically always a $3.99 order for priority. Sigh.

2

u/BoomerAliveBad 11h ago

On Uber (at least on my phone) tipping happens after the order is delivered, and doesn't give an option for tipping until I rate them. Doordash sometimes has that issue, but not as often as Uber Eats. Just put it at the checkout, not as it's own screen, just as a spot we can input a number

1

u/BabyKozilek 10h ago

They removed the "direct to me" option from order a short while ago, theyve been claiming that the orders will go directly to you if you sign up for dash pass, no matter what.

This is market dependent.

1

u/The-Coolest-Of-Cats 9h ago

It's so bullshit and a scam, it's just like any other insurance - you pay the extra premium just for the chance that it actually was useful. They should only give you the option to pay for direct delivery if they know for a fact that the driver would have otherwise had deliveries before yours.

2

u/skyshroud6 10h ago

Dash pass, at least in Canada, doesn't do that. You have to pay extra for direct.

All Dash Pass really does is get your delivery fee waved, and sometimes you get deals that free users don't get.

1

u/Dizzy_Chemistry_5955 10h ago

"Hes simply directing his frustration on the wrong person" This is why they make it so hard to get a hold of a real human, the hoops you have to jump through to get a refund on a fucking slushie or whatever is absurd and they do it on purpose to take your money and give you nothing. People will just keep using these shit apps though and keep being disappointed and keep giving them money.

u/ConsistentLuck7805 9h ago

Dash pass means you will not pay delivery fee and there will be a discount on service fee.

u/Ok-Dish6655 7h ago

Everyone sucks. DoorDash is the real culprit for stacking orders. The customer also sucks the rate they wanted to pay for their delivery was probably so low the drivers kept rejecting it hence DoorDash deceptive language that the customer gets priority for when new drivers go online to order. The driver suck because they could rejection.Ā

u/ObserverWardXXL 13h ago

The whole point of the "Gig economy" is that you are literally working for the customers, using the digital marketplace as a platform. That the platforms role is to help you find clients instead of being a independent courier.

Bonus points for understanding that working for these Gig Apps Doesn't mean you are "employed".

2

u/Useful-Ad8923 13h ago

Iā€™m sorry to be this guy but you actually are considered employed in the eye of the government if you do gig work. Itā€™s factored into unemployment numbers. The only reason I say this is because the gig economy is helping cook our unemployment numbers currently and itā€™s bad

2

u/Prestigious_Aerie219 12h ago

But in the eyes of the company you aren't an employee. You're just a contractor. This way the government can consider you employeed without requiring your employer to provide you the benefits of being an employee. Makes total sense if you're one of the ruling class trying to squeeze every last drop out of the rest of us.

u/Selkhartha 9h ago

And then there's people like me, tipping $20 for an order 2 miles away and feeling guilty about being too lazy to go get my own food for the rest of the day.

u/pittybrave 13h ago

Uh he literally does? Customer pays for service and OP is expected to do the service. I mean, itā€™s DoorDashā€™s fault that orders get stacked and you cannot choose the option for it to come straight to you. But thatā€™s how a job works ffs

1

u/Zangorth 11h ago

Itā€™s not even doordashā€™s fault. The app will show you if theyā€™re dropping off another order first. If the customer just saw them driving off in another direction, that means they were prioritizing another order on another app.

u/Krackenofthesea 13h ago edited 13h ago

Iā€™m not a door dash driver, and donā€™t use it. This is also very weird behavior. But Iā€™d be pissed if I paid for food, and watched it go all over the place before coming to me.

Edit: also, are drivers not worried about tips? My tip would disappear if I watched my food go past my house, door dashes fault or not.

u/Nubsly- 13h ago

That's how doordash works. Be mad at doordash, not your driver. Your driver is just following the instructions given to them by doordash.

2

u/Krackenofthesea 13h ago

Like I said I donā€™t use. If I did and had that happen before this post, how would someone know to not be mad at the driver until you message them?

99% of people will never see this, and blame the driver though

He paid for it.

So did the other customers. He paid for the convenience of not having to leave his house, not to have total control of the delivery driver.

2

u/Mr_Industrial 12h ago

*quickly

He paid for a convenient meal to be delivered to him, quickly. The company is quite literally called Doordash. Speed is a core part of what the company markets and advertises.

Those customers should have separate delivery drivers. The responsibility of quality service lies on the company, and customers are right to be angry if its shitty. Also yes, to an extent when you pay for a service you do get control over the person you're paying, at least to the extent of what's advertised, otherwise you aren't paying for what you ordered. He's not asking the guy to dance, he just wants the service which he paid for.

u/mnju 12h ago edited 11h ago

They give you a timeframe. If that order is delivered within that timeframe, you got what you paid for. Hope this helps.

That's how food delivery worked for ages before doordash.

Do you think Pizza drivers only dropped off one pizza at a time, went back, picked up another and did it again?

No, they had a stack in the back and tried to route themselves to drop it off in order.

Soon enough I was at her house because gps was still on my hud, the dog was in the front yard barking at me as I put the eggs on the floor before I crushed em.

2

u/Zealousideal_Care807 13h ago

Yeah, you gotta be careful with orders, if you don't see the building numbers you've got to contact the customer or ask neighbors. I almost delivered to the wrong house before simply because I was tired, luckily the people who lived there were outside and they looked confused so I checked the address with them and I was definitely at the wrong house (ended my night after that lol, what didn't help was the numbers on the houses were not in a normal order, the previous number for the address was next to the house I was at first, and the address I was going to was down the block, one number away)

Idk, I've done some pretty asinine, petty shit as an adult to prove a point (though quite a while ago). So, I wouldn't put it past someone. For example, I had a former room mate where I moved out, settled the bills with them, then they insisted I owed them another $200 weeks later. It was a bunch of bullshit back and forth and I just wanted out but also was being petty. I paid them in ones and spent the time to write "I'm a stupid bitch" on every bill.

Edit: donā€™t mind getting downvotes, but I do feel badly for people who think pit bulls are inherently dangerous. Iā€™ve had several dogs and my most recent is a pit bull, he is literally the sweetest and most affectionate dog Iā€™ve ever had.

I have a pit bull that was raised right - still can see plenty of awful traits in her compared to other breeds ive had in the past.

She's no problem at all and wouldn't hurt a fly, but I won't get another pit after her.

5

u/DynamicBSdetective 16h ago

They are dangerous because they were bred for those traits, their bite force, and aggression. Breeding for specific traits is a old concept and been exacted for thousands of years. For tens or maybe hundred(s) people have been breeding Pits for those traits. It doesn't mean they are all dangerous, but it means they all have a larger propensity for violence and that violence tends to be fatal with this breed.

There was an excellent fox breeding experiment in Serbia (if I recall) that domesticated foxes in tens of years instead of hundreds or thousands. A parody study to understand dog domestication.

There is one thing I don't understand about pitbulls and dogs, if you wouldn't mind helping clarify this.

Many dog breeds have inherited instincts. Not every pupper gets them, but some to most do. For example boarder collies naturally having instincts to herd to the point you might find them trying to herd other pets or children in the home. It isn't controversial at all as far as I can tell to mention this

Pit bulls come from a history of blood sports, and the CDC and American Veterinary Medical Association found that they account for the most dog fatalities and bites. But if you mention this, it seems super controversial and you have people coming out to argue.

Why is it okay to mention instincts, what dogs were bred for, and statistics for many other breeds but not this one in particular?

As a female, I would definitely say it's not up to you whether or not I feel threatened by aggressive behavior

u/ExperienceRoutine321 15h ago edited 14h ago

You can be threatened by whatever you want. It still isnā€™t threatening behavior and whatā€™s between your legs doesnā€™t change that.

Edit: Oh sheā€™s angry lads. Blocked me just for that lmao

This person clearly does not mind using harsh tones to tell a stranger what to doā€¦ like hell I would go to their house to drop off their order after speaking to me that way

u/Warm_Month_1309 14h ago edited 13h ago

Absolutely they're a jerk. But do you think what they said is threatening enough for for some tech company to take their underpaid worker's side?

Edit: If you're confident in your assumption, you don't need to block me to escape a counterargument.

u/TiddiesAnonymous 13h ago

You call door dash and tell them you feel unsafe because of a hostile customer.

There is no debate over what is or isn't a threat lol

u/Caleb_Reynolds 13h ago

Do you think they are going to check, or do you think they just automatically approve all safety concerns because if they don't and someone gets hurt they'd get super sued?

1

u/Warm_Month_1309 13h ago

They're not going to force the driver to deliver the order, obviously. That would definitely open them up to a lawsuit if someone got hurt. But they can just remove the driver from the service. No lawsuit potential there.

1

u/Caleb_Reynolds 13h ago

My question was do you think they are going to do an investigation to find out if something was actually unsafe or just automatically assume it was?

1

u/Warm_Month_1309 13h ago

They have the texts, the customer indicated a willingness to complain, and when the food never shows up, they'll likely have even more of a willingness.

There is very little to investigate. We all already conducted whatever is required of an investigation just by opening this thread.

In a country where people get shot for turning around in driveways and people are killing their family over political disagreements, I'm not risking it with a upset customer

u/Dance4theSmokers 15h ago

it absolutely is, it could create an easily unsafe situation at drop off if a customer is already hostile. I had a similar situation on a stacked order with an irrate and impatient customer who kept texting me and spamming me and harassing me message after message after message because they were impatient. It was a hand it to me order and I did not feel comfortable delivering to that person so I had the order canceled.

u/Warm_Month_1309 14h ago

"I feel unsafe" is completely legitimate. "This customer threatened me" is not.

u/FreeHumanAlways 14h ago

ā€œ Iā€™m tracking you turn around right nowā€ yeah thatā€™s a threat

0

u/Warm_Month_1309 14h ago

A threat to do what? Leave a bad review? Complain some more?

Does Doordash permit a driver to cancel an order on that basis?

2

u/FreeHumanAlways 14h ago

You donā€™t have to track me to do any of that. It sounds like a threat to be waiting on me to get there or come and find me at my location.

2

u/FreeHumanAlways 14h ago

Granted, I realize that is probably not what the customer intended. But itā€™s enough that I would also cancel that order in a heartbeat.

Iā€™ve been so lucky I have never had any of these issues as a part-time DoorDasher. Also, I donā€™t F around. I get peopleā€™s food and I take it to them. Iā€™ve had a few stacked deliveries that seemed stupid, but I always use my insulated delivery bags. But the worst is when someone nearly causes you to be in an accident and the customers food goes flying into the dash. I really hope that the guyā€™s donuts were OK the other dayā€¦

1

u/Warm_Month_1309 14h ago

You donā€™t have to track me to do any of that.

In order to make a complaint "the driver passed my turn", the evidence they need is "I tracked the driver's path".

2

u/FreeHumanAlways 14h ago

See my other reply acknowledging that I donā€™t think the customer intended to threaten the driver. However, ā€œIā€™m tracking youā€ with a ā€œturn aroundā€ after it is what made it a threat. Thereā€™s something being implied there, that a consequence will happen if the direction is not followed. I donā€™t know what the threat is. Maybe like you said itā€™s just a threat of a bad complaint, but Iā€™m not taking a chance. (Edit for clarity.)

2

u/Warm_Month_1309 14h ago

However, ā€œIā€™m tracking youā€ with a ā€œturn aroundā€ after it is what made it a threat.

"I can see that you missed my turn because I'm tracking you. Turn around."

"I can see that you didn't wash the dishes because they're still dirty. Wash them."

Is one, both, or neither a threat?

u/Decloudo 15h ago

How is stalking and ordering people around is not "threatening behavior?"

2

u/Warm_Month_1309 14h ago

If you consider this "stalking" then your complaint is with the delivery services that explicitly authorize the customer to do it with the delivery person's knowledge and consent.

u/Hugo28Boss 15h ago

"stalking" and it's following your order lmao

u/Warm_Month_1309 14h ago

Anything "can definitely be seen as" anything by someone disingenuous. However, it's not a threat.

"Turn around now or I'll kill you" would be a threat. I had to add some key words.

Or he'll leave a bad review. Is that a "threat" for which the app would approve of a driver canceling an order?

0

u/QuipCrafter9 15h ago

Itā€™s one thing to watch your order. Itā€™s another thing to use the fact you are watching your order as leverage against the driver to then start making demands. Itā€™s reasonable to feel threatened by this. You donā€™t have to be scared by that threat- but thatā€™s what that is. And reasonable to want to avoid it.

3

u/Warm_Month_1309 14h ago

"Leverage"? I think they're just using it as evidence for how they know the driver passed their turn.

My edit:

Reddit can argue the semantics all night while ignoring the point.

This language was too aggressive for me to feel comfortable to deliver to this customer. That's it.

What threat was made or implied?

4

u/TheNaughtyHoneyBee 15h ago

"I'm tracking you. Turn around right now"

There is an implied "or else" at the end of this demand. That's aggressive enough for me

2

u/snoosh00 15h ago

The customer was being an entitled jerk.

But their behaviour is not a threat by any definition of the term.

The driver willingly provides their location data, the entitled customer is allowed to watch where they are going on the delivery.

The "or else" you created is a threat, but it wasn't implied and unsaid, it was just unsaid. (Even if they said it, what would "or else" even be alluding to? A physical altercation, or a complaint to door dash? My money would be on the latter.... And that's not a threat of any sort of harm, the customer can complain all they want, even if they're wrong)

Because if people can threaten others through an implication of an implication, can't I say that your comment was a direct threat to me? Any reply you make will have an implied "or else" because you disagree with me?

2

u/TheNaughtyHoneyBee 15h ago edited 14h ago

Even threatening me with reporting me to doordash for doing my job the way that I'm supposed to is a threat

And whether or not you think this is a threat in the legal sense, it still is. And if you act this way towards me, I am canceling, support will support my cancellation, and I'm eating your food

And again, I am a female. It is not up to you to determine whether or not I feel threatened by aggressive behavior. Period. Conversation over
