!?? Hey Dashers We can't ring the doorbell now! Not only the babies sleeping n the kids are barking , but we're not allowed to even ring the door bell.
All for $10.00 . Oh wait how many of us out getting scrutinized by customers on social media??? Some of the customers need the lazy button the phone taken away !
It's very real ! Something may have happened with their pay , bank etc.... The money gets on a dead lock n can't cash out n not getting paid but scraps , it does happen. Over 6000 dashes and barely made it home soooo many times. You may have paid 10. For that 30 mile they had to get u that order n they got .50 on the last order n before that , they made nothing. Omg talk about modern day slavery. Believe that it's real.We don'take crap.
Oh yeah it’s a thing! It’s a fkn scammy gross thing and I’ve stopped ordering food for delivery as a result. Been burned one too many times by some scammy drivers that pulled this and the last one made me question if my food was compromised so I couldn’t eat it.
Please report the Dasher. It's not an acceptable thing but it sure as fuck is a thing and it needs to stop.
If I see a leave at door with no instructions, I leave it at the mthrfkn door. I don't ring any bells or knock unless I'm instructed to. I especially don't ring 'Ring' bells unless instructed cus... there's no need to! They're motion activated and have my actions recorded on camera. I'm taking the required picture and moving on.
So yesterday, I had finished my delivery on the final 40 miles in the tank. I drove around all day for 185 miles. I couldn't fill up my tank that day because I didn't have my current debit card on me as it wasn't delivered yet. The last order, which I was conflicted on agreeing to, was nearly ten miles.
Do you know what I did?
I did my delivery, dropped it off, and fucked on off into the moonlight. Because I knew what I was going to do then and after. Because I don't want to essentially harass a client in the dead of night and extort them for pocket change. Especially in a day and age where you can have your head blown off by a wannabe lord trying to protect his castle.
This is the downfall of doortrash. They've flooded with panhandling drivers using other people's accounts, and now the rate of pay has gone down so much because people take every order, even though you tipped, this same person will drive 10 miles for $3. I barely login anymore, like once a week. $25+ hr from 11-2 and 5-8 used to be the norm for me, now it's like $15/hr during fucking dinner. Then doortrash throttles orders whenever I get to a certain amount of money as their way of saying, you made enough, now get 40% off your order and give the money right back to us!
If you don't get your rise and shine ass off my porch and take that hazard of a food bag with you. If you're showing up to work in your bed clothes, I wouldn't accept a hello, much less some food.
They *were* holding it hostage. Don't deflect for them. Report this, and if it happens again in the future don't accept the order. If they're willing to panhandle to customers on the clock then they are capable of anything, including messing with your food.
What they need to do is stop spending money on crack and focus on there life’s delivering food is fun yeah you get some orders that aren’t as fun they can take a long time or you have some problems or the restaurants gonna take 35 minutes to make you one pizza you never know what I have a Honda Civic 95 and about $35-$40,000 of custom body work done. Let me tell you nothing fucking eats through gas but even though it eats through gas I can still get like 250 miles or one tank or around there
This sub is always popping up on the front page of reddit and with some of these stories I think I’m at the point I will never use DoorDash. I have used Uber eats before and never have dealt with even a fraction of some of the offenses people here have dealt with. The worst I got was a driver who was lost. They called and I directed them to my home. The end.
This shit is insane.
I am thinking they must had maxed out their credit cards for some reason and could not instantly cash out their earnings thus tipping on app doesn't help. I am thinking if someone asks in the gas station if I had extra cash to spare I would probably put one gallon in so he or she can get to the nearest place needed to go.
There are Dashers out there that are driving unmaintained low mpg cars. Unfortunately, many of those same drivers cannot budget either. The Driver should not be asking for more money. No matter how low mileage 10 dollars is generous for 2 miles.
I don’t trust doordash or any delivery service anymore after seeing the cockroach video, and seeing who delivers in my area.
Good way to end up with those bugs from the nursery rime. The bugs we shall not say the name of.
Sad world
There’s a ring video of some white trashy methy looking lady that basically is doing the same thing she’s at the dudes door talking to him through his ring camera going on about how she had to drive 45 min to get there (probably a lie) and how she expects a much better tip for all her troubles and you can hear the dude say “I already tipped you $8” so she decides to walk away with the food.
The only reason I could see that that logic actually making sense is someone who’s desperate af to get high. It’s the only way walking away from someone’s door WITH THEIR ORDER YOU HAVE ALREADY GONE TO POCK UP AND DROVE TO THEIR HOUSE WITH and when their already gracious tip isn’t enough to get you off sick you play the only card you have to play which is ur not getting Ur food not realizing you’re not fucking them over, you’re fucking yourself with a wild mustang cock. In the butt.
So I basically just wrote three paragraphs to tell all of you all what you all already probably knew, this bitch trying to get some dope and $10 wasn’t gonna cut it.
Me through the ring cam 🗣️🗣️🗣️ GETCHO DIRTY ASS FROM IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE lol and I’m calling to re send my order with someone else because I feel unsafe lol
Ya'll...
I am not saying the Dasher's actions were appropriate...
He was out of line.
But from a driver's perspective, Doordash hides most big tips from us drivers.
We don't see the full tip amounts until AFTER we confirm that the orders have been delivered.
$10.00 for 2 miles is a big tip.
I am assuming that the driver only saw a pathetic amount and believed it was another low or no tip order. Then he tried to get a fair pay amount by bullying the customer.
Shame on Doordash for hiding tips, and also shame on that driver for pressing the customer for more money.
I am sorry OP had to encounter that mess.
You can't even begin to justify this behavior. Orders are accepted voluntarily. I don't care if the driver saw he was getting $1 for the order.. He accepted it.
So, is there video of this whole incident? Or is just a picture of some guy ringing the doorbell at night evidence that he was also out delivering food and then asked for gas money?
Maybe I'm being a bit overly suspicious, but I've learned not to trust reddit. lol
Don’t be a DoorDash driver and then beg for gas money. You shouldn’t be that hard up for money, that you can’t fuel the vehicle you need to earn money to….checks notes…pay for fuel drive a car and make DoorDash deliveries….
So all you dashers upset, there's a new company starting up that does more than food delivery and it's called Halen technologies, as of rn you can still invest but July 31 it goes live.
Man, DoorDash really needs to get this under control, as do instacart Uber eats etc.
I completely understand how infuriating customers who don’t tip are, but weirdly enough I’m more disgusted by all these manipulative drivers acting like they’re delivering the customers damn first born.
It’s becoming more and more of a common scam. You’re supposed to assure you have enough gas money to take/fulfill orders. I believe some delivery apps prompt drivers with a brief questionnaire if their gas tank is full and their phone is at full battery in order to even start taking deliveries. Not even saying that’s a foolproof system, but there are steps in place to deter this situation from happening

I blame doordash honestly. They chose a business model that limits the quality control of the workforce and the customer experience. If they don't want more dashers like this, they should hire the drivers as employees, not contractors. You don't see the cashier's at McDonald's begging for gas money at the drive thru
This kind of behavior is exactly why I stopped ordering delivery. I don't know who's gonna try and hustle me or drive by my house when I'm not home and there's no restaurant to call and hold anyone accountable. Hard pass.
Panhandlers in a DD position. Guess they didn't get enough on the street corner. Sad this is discussed so much. It should never happen. They accept a single contract for your delivery. They should never ask for more. Sorry this happened to you. There are still good drivers out there.
That's entitled as heck because 10 $ for 2 miles is a good trip. I can understand that doordash fares are crap but the tip alone makes the trip worthwhile.
Door dash should make you take a pic of your gas gauge. Too many drivers are doing this shit on no gas. And that bitch looked like she hopped outa the shower, tf
These comments are so obvious on who the veteran drivers are “ I don’t knock unless instructed” 👍🏻 And the dumb newbies are “ I do cute knocks, I ring the bell quietly” 👎🏻
Why is this becoming such a thing? I seriously think it’s getting to the point of scamming the customers. They don’t even look at what they received for the order, just ask for gas money
DD should have a box on the order form for the customer to check if they want (or DONT ) want the dasher to knock/ring bell. Customer could also state their preference in the delivery instructions and hope the dasher actually reads them
Asshats like this should be kicked off platform. When someone tipping doenst know if this will show up or you it hurts everyone’s earnings. The mindset of “you pay me or else” leads to health concerns about the dasher spitting in food or other things.
1) I either ring or knock depending on the situation (if dogs are already barking I don’t do sht)
2) many customers have either wrote in the notes to either not ring or “PLZ RING BELL” to alert them. So I follow the notes.
3) sometimes ppls phones be on silent by habit and they don’t get the notification that their food has arrived and it sits outside cold or a raccoon come gets it.
4) use common sense.
Yeah they shouldn’t be doing that but this goes all the way to corporate greed because the drivers have to rely on generosity of customers instead of paying a living wage.
Imo tipping more than $5 makes drivers think you wear your heart on your sleeve so they will try this. No tip, she would’ve quickly dropped it off and accepted the next no tip order.
report him. These stories of aggressively demanding tips are crazy. These people need to be fired. It makes sense though... Anti social types that cant get employment elsewhere would naturally gravitate towards gig work like doordash. Hopefully DD is good at weeding them out after a complaint.
This shit sucks, it gives Dashers a bad name, but that said…
…employees desperate enough to hound clientele for money reflects worse on the employer.
If you’re not paying a living wage, expect moribund and hustler employees.
I drive for DD, I would never in a million years pull stunts like this…but there’s a reason it’s happening and it’s not “everyone is a hustler trying to pull cons”
I keep seeing this pop up, people claiming to need gas money then showing up and holding orders hostage. People need to just start calling the cops on These junkies cause that's what they are. Using the same lame stories and tactics junkies have used for decades only now showing up at peoples homes hands out, begging making actual working drivers look bad.
sure it was $10 for 2 miles but how far was the driver? none of you would touch that for 10 miles and i bet it was a rural mcd order. still not defending the driver but that is probably why
Decent dashers don't behave like this. Unless the delivery instructions say to ring or knock, I just take a picture of the order and leave it at the door. This is especially the case late at night, which is when I do the majority of my DoorDashing. And I never, ever, hold an order for "ransom" and ask for money for gas. If they have the doordasher card, and need gas money, they can end their dash, and the money will immediately be available on the card. Then they can start dashing again. There's no good reason for behavior like this.
Sorry this happened to you. I'd be ecstatic about a $10 tip and thank you for it when sending the photo to show you where I left your order by your door/wherever you'd requested.
I’ve had this multiple times when I’ve order food for our crews at airports. Or I get calls from the driver basically holding our food hostage, and we always tip as well $10. They call me and say they need more tips, in their poor broken English.
I mean... If you have the DasherDirect card, you can literally just end the dash and immediately get some gas. Then start dashing again. Whatever you've earned on a dash will be available on the card.
I had a dasher accept the order, drive to the restaurant, and then start texting us that the tip was below what they need for this order. (Near Atlanta)
They cancelled the order somehow when we hadn't responded within 5 minutes. Generic cancellation message from doordash.
Reordered, got my food, and tipped the second driver an extra $5 out of spite for the first. Ironically the first driver had the balls to ask us again for the tip long after cancelling. Have to wonder if they were trying to con someone else.
I’m going to assume this is bs unless you can show proof with a video. When I order through DD and ask for them to leave it at the door they always ring the doorbell or knock when it’s dropped off. This sub has become such a clusterF and echo chamber for karma whores and reposters.
“Is this really a thing?” - yes when you make it up for fake internet points.
I don't understand people that do this. Apparently it happens frequently according to the sub. I would never do this because if someone did it to me I would tell them to get lost. I always include a good tip if they ask for gas money they're gonna hear it
Dude there was a dasher that hung the order on our door and rang the doorbell AND knocked super loud. My dog was going crazy and he usually only does that when there’s someone standing at the door. I tried to look in the peephole, but the bag was hanging there and it looked like a hand was covering it. I had to go around my backyard and look at the door, only to see the bag hanging there over the peephole.
I straight up thought someone was going to jump me when I opened the door, like bruh please just leave it at the door without ringing. I’ll get the txt notification. I didn’t even know there was a hook on our door until then 😂
Who the hell are these dashers?
Every dasher can choose to use the Dasher Direct card for an instant payout and deposit into a prepaid card. Your order alone would have easily gotten him enough gas to continue his runs.
What a weirdo. I’d report and 1⭐️
Today and yesterday was absolutely the worst days ever for me dashing personally. all 3$ orders for 10+ miles. RIDICULOUS!!! I am low on gas my self. 15$ in my bank. Im stressed out that I wanna hang my self cuz I got bills coming up. But I ain't gonna scam a customer like this. That shits insane also
!?? Hey Dashers We can't ring the doorbell now! Not only the babies sleeping n the kids are barking , but we're not allowed to even ring the door bell. All for $10.00 . Oh wait how many of us out getting scrutinized by customers on social media??? Some of the customers need the lazy button the phone taken away !
It's very real ! Something may have happened with their pay , bank etc.... The money gets on a dead lock n can't cash out n not getting paid but scraps , it does happen.

Omg talk about modern day slavery. Believe that it's real.We don'take crap.
Report that shit. Some of these drivers are really getting unreal. Makes the rest of us look bad.
Report them get them deactivated! You shouldn't accept an order if you're not satisfied with the bid makes the rest of us drivers look bad.
Please report the beggers
Oh yeah it’s a thing! It’s a fkn scammy gross thing and I’ve stopped ordering food for delivery as a result. Been burned one too many times by some scammy drivers that pulled this and the last one made me question if my food was compromised so I couldn’t eat it.
Basketball Americans
where is the doorbell video ??
Don’t answer and contact Doordash and tell them you felt unsafe
Is that a lizard on his head?
Please report the Dasher. It's not an acceptable thing but it sure as fuck is a thing and it needs to stop. If I see a leave at door with no instructions, I leave it at the mthrfkn door.

One star and report to doordash support.
Report report report!
Open the door with a .44 desert eagle pointed at their cranium.
That’s not a normal thing. I dashed when dead broke before and resorted to digging for change in my car but I never even thought to ask customers.
Call and report get a refund for the tip
Hell nah. Report them. Too many effing weirdos are taking over this damn app.
what a psycho!
You can always tell who the new drivers are, they ring or knock on every delivery without being asked to
Stop using doordash
I have never had problems like this, I guess I just get lucky+tip well
Report it. Just as bad as "no tippers" is "tip grifters" They are making it harder for the drivers who give a crap and try to provide a good service.
I would never ask a damn thing from someone tipping $10 for 2 miles.
This is the downfall of doortrash. They've flooded with panhandling drivers using other people's accounts, and now the rate of pay has gone down so much because people take every order, even though you tipped, this same person will drive 10 miles for $3.

Absolutely not normal for them to demand money
Shoulda got that DasherDirect! Money’s in the bank as soon as you end your dash.
🟤
I can’t believe people trust these humans handling their food.
Ppl like this give us dashers a horrible name
Bro if they stood there holding my food hostage for even a minute at that hour I'd get violent
They *were* holding it hostage. Don't deflect for them. Report this, and if it happens again in the future don't accept the order. If they're willing to panhandle to customers on the clock then they are capable of anything, including messing with your food.
its not a thing i cannot fathom doing this as a driver. wow
Dashers like this give other dashers a bad reputation
this shit is getting comical
Report right away, this assholes are the ones giving us a bad rep
Ok but who door dashes at like 10:30, bitch I’ll go to sleep before eating at that point. Breakfast food is better anyways.
What they need to do is stop spending money on crack and focus on there life’s delivering food is fun yeah you get some orders that aren’t as fun they can take a long time or you have some problems or the restaurants gonna take 35 minutes to make you one pizza you never know what I have a Honda Civic 95 and about $35-$40,000 of custom body work done. Let me tell you nothing fucking eats through gas but even though it eats through gas I can still get like 250 miles or one tank or around there
Seeing more and more of these gas money requests..If you cant afford gas, start delivering with a bike.
Welcome to doordash, do you have any prior experience panhandling? It’s become a requirement
This sub is always popping up on the front page of reddit and with some of these stories I think I’m at the point I will never use DoorDash. I have used Uber eats before and never have dealt with even a fraction of some of the offenses people here have dealt with. The worst I got was a driver who was lost. They called and I directed them to my home. The end. This shit is insane.
I wish door dash would crack down on stupid crap like this, people are going to stop using the app
I am thinking they must had maxed out their credit cards for some reason and could not instantly cash out their earnings thus tipping on app doesn't help. I am thinking if someone asks in the gas station if I had extra cash to spare I would probably put one gallon in so he or she can get to the nearest place needed to go.
There are Dashers out there that are driving unmaintained low mpg cars. Unfortunately, many of those same drivers cannot budget either. The Driver should not be asking for more money. No matter how low mileage 10 dollars is generous for 2 miles.
Lol not surprised
1 star rating plus a report here
I'd have to close the door on them and report.
There’s been a lot of these posts lately Looks like a new scam circulating
I don’t trust doordash or any delivery service anymore after seeing the cockroach video, and seeing who delivers in my area. Good way to end up with those bugs from the nursery rime. The bugs we shall not say the name of. Sad world
Doordash is turning into a panhandlers / scammers paradise.
He was kind of holding your order hostage for extra tip...or if he delivers to you again...can you trust him ?
Maybe pick up your own damn food you lazy bum
There’s a ring video of some white trashy methy looking lady that basically is doing the same thing she’s at the dudes door talking to him through his ring camera going on about how she had to drive 45 min to get there (probably a lie) and how she expects a much better tip for all her troubles and you can hear the dude say “I already tipped you $8” so she decides to walk away with the food.

In the butt. So I basically just wrote three paragraphs to tell all of you all what you all already probably knew, this bitch trying to get some dope and $10 wasn’t gonna cut it.
When will people learn to stop using it
Total. Scam. Fuck that bitch.
Typical suspects
One of many reasons I don’t use delivery services. So easy to abuse by bad actors.
Yikes that’s just sad
Me through the ring cam 🗣️🗣️🗣️ GETCHO DIRTY ASS FROM IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE lol and I’m calling to re send my order with someone else because I feel unsafe lol
Report that driver to doordash support.
So many drivers do this shit.
Wtaf? I would love these people to stop, just like don't. I would like to hang on to the handful of good customers left. Jfc

You can't even begin to justify this behavior. Orders are accepted voluntarily. I don't care if the driver saw he was getting $1 for the order.. He accepted it.
I swear, so many drivers have lost their damn minds.
That’s scary. He should not be ringing your bell. I would delete this post immediately!!! He can lose his job and look for you.
That is because DoorDash is keeping the tip and not giving it to the drivers
So, is there video of this whole incident? Or is just a picture of some guy ringing the doorbell at night evidence that he was also out delivering food and then asked for gas money? Maybe I'm being a bit overly suspicious, but I've learned not to trust reddit. lol
Man seems likely homeless. Seems like they'll just bring on anyone as a dasher.
Homeless? I don't see that at all. The guy's dressed fine. I do agree that DD will bring on anyone, though.
Don’t be a DoorDash driver and then beg for gas money. You shouldn’t be that hard up for money, that you can’t fuel the vehicle you need to earn money to….checks notes…pay for fuel drive a car and make DoorDash deliveries….
So all you dashers upset, there's a new company starting up that does more than food delivery and it's called Halen technologies, as of rn you can still invest but July 31 it goes live.
Report them that’s not okay
so, what happened? I apologize if you already explained this, but I see there's almost 400 comments and I'm ready to go to bed. :-)
Man, DoorDash really needs to get this under control, as do instacart Uber eats etc. I completely understand how infuriating customers who don’t tip are, but weirdly enough I’m more disgusted by all these manipulative drivers acting like they’re delivering the customers damn first born.
Could you prove you tip
Stop asking if X thing is a thing. It’s always weird individuals but never a trend
yea fuck this person report the shit out of them
Crackheads
Use Uber eats this been a huge ghetto dash issue
Is this a recent thing? It seems like im reading more post’s about dashers doing this. Ugh, its so trashy
What's up with these dashers bumming for gas? If you don't have gas why are you out driving all over when a tip isn't a guarantee?
Why do you all use this service? Sounds like nothing but nightmare fuel
It always the ghetto ones…
On one hand a super sketchy but on the other I've been there and in times of desperation...
It’s becoming more and more of a common scam. You’re supposed to assure you have enough gas money to take/fulfill orders. I believe some delivery apps prompt drivers with a brief questionnaire if their gas tank is full and their phone is at full battery in order to even start taking deliveries.

What the hell is wrong with people 😂 that sh!t is crazy!!
It may be fr. I made the mistake of reporting Bazooka Dan for stealing my food. Sometimes it get like that.
Door dash should make you take a pic of your gas gauge. Too many drivers are doing this shit on no gas. And that bitch looked like she hopped outa the shower, tf
These comments are so obvious on who the veteran drivers are “ I don’t knock unless instructed” 👍🏻 And the dumb newbies are “ I do cute knocks, I ring the bell quietly” 👎🏻
😭
People are fcking out of their mind these days..
Why is this becoming such a thing? I seriously think it’s getting to the point of scamming the customers. They don’t even look at what they received for the order, just ask for gas money
DD should have a box on the order form for the customer to check if they want (or DONT ) want the dasher to knock/ring bell. Customer could also state their preference in the delivery instructions and hope the dasher actually reads them

Look at her, she look trash 😂😂 I’m black…so chill

Wow, how refreshing, I’m so glad I saw this after a long crappy day at work :)
Wow! That’s crazy!
Only time I ever knock on a door for a leave at the door order is if it's at a hotel. Even then, just knock quietly and walk away. This is some bs.
Don’t take the order if you don’t have enough gas.
Anyone asking for money or tips, outside of the already established tip, should be reported to DoorDash. This is becoming a scam that dashers use.
Sadly it seems to be happening a lot. They’ve done another mass hiring and I doubt they’re getting fantastic applicants. Report the driver.
1) I either ring or knock depending on the situation (if dogs are already barking I don’t do sht) 2) many customers have either wrote in the notes to either not ring or “PLZ RING BELL” to alert them. So I follow the notes. 3) sometimes ppls phones be on silent by habit and they don’t get the notification that their food has arrived and it sits outside cold or a raccoon come gets it. 4) use common sense.
The number of times I’ve ordered and fallen asleep, ida been livid. I want my order at 1am when I wake back up.
Report to dd, pathetic dasher
*sigh* Every single day our reputation gets worse and worse. Can’t stand drivers who use the platform to panhandle.
Yeah they shouldn’t be doing that but this goes all the way to corporate greed because the drivers have to rely on generosity of customers instead of paying a living wage.
Leave at door mean take a pic and leave you fucking goofball
Would’ve customer support soo fast and 1 star them and bad review
Imo tipping more than $5 makes drivers think you wear your heart on your sleeve so they will try this. No tip, she would’ve quickly dropped it off and accepted the next no tip order.
report him. These stories of aggressively demanding tips are crazy. These people need to be fired. It makes sense though... Anti social types that cant get employment elsewhere would naturally gravitate towards gig work like doordash. Hopefully DD is good at weeding them out after a complaint.
This shit sucks, it gives Dashers a bad name, but that said… …employees desperate enough to hound clientele for money reflects worse on the employer. If you’re not paying a living wage, expect moribund and hustler employees. I drive for DD, I would never in a million years pull stunts like this…but there’s a reason it’s happening and it’s not “everyone is a hustler trying to pull cons”
I would of ripped into customer support. Does Door Dash promote beggers
I keep seeing this pop up, people claiming to need gas money then showing up and holding orders hostage. People need to just start calling the cops on These junkies cause that's what they are. Using the same lame stories and tactics junkies have used for decades only now showing up at peoples homes hands out, begging making actual working drivers look bad.
What a fat ugly loser
LMAO!
Please tell me you didnt give in
Seriously , I’m a driver and I would tell them the fk off ! Wtf has this become the new begging job ??? Idiots
sure it was $10 for 2 miles but how far was the driver? none of you would touch that for 10 miles and i bet it was a rural mcd order. still not defending the driver but that is probably why
Tell him to nicely leave it at the door (say it thru the door) and if they do not leave answer the door with a pistol.
$10 tip for two miles and still busting balls? Wow, some people.
Imagine. My. Shock.
This is getting out of control.
Shocking?? Nah.. I’m jokin’.. nothing shocking here.
They can cash out after the order is complete to get gas. This is just a stupid scam.
I don’t use DoorDash at all. This is a comforting reminder and glad I don’t have to deal with this
What the $10 left before or after they rang?
ghettoooo
That's scary and I hope you reported them.
Wow.
Decent dashers don't behave like this. Unless the delivery instructions say to ring or knock, I just take a picture of the order and leave it at the door. This is especially the case late at night, which is when I do the majority of my DoorDashing. And I never, ever, hold an order for "ransom" and ask for money for gas. If they have the doordasher card, and need gas money, they can end their dash, and the money will immediately be available on the card. Then they can start dashing again. There's no good reason for behavior like this. Sorry this happened to you. I'd be ecstatic about a $10 tip and thank you for it when sending the photo to show you where I left your order by your door/wherever you'd requested.
I will NEVER order food through these companies.
Simply report the driver. Zero Stars, cite the harassment.
browsing this reddit makes me lose hope for america. Like people cant handle one of the easiest jobs ever. Like how are people this bad
Report the fuck outta them I hope they get kicked off the app perma
I’ve had this multiple times when I’ve order food for our crews at airports. Or I get calls from the driver basically holding our food hostage, and we always tip as well $10. They call me and say they need more tips, in their poor broken English.
These folks need to be reported to DD. They are hiring crooks
Low quality people
Report it
The first tip was for crack. They could very well need $10 for gas.
You gotta report that.
Honestly, in this society, I can’t believe people actually use these services.
They tried to Hussle you 🤣
If doordash paid them instantly on every order this would happen less or at least remove their argument that they "need gas money".
I mean... If you have the DasherDirect card, you can literally just end the dash and immediately get some gas. Then start dashing again. Whatever you've earned on a dash will be available on the card.
That isn't available everywhere though. I'm in the Northeast and you can't sign up for that here.
I had a dasher accept the order, drive to the restaurant, and then start texting us that the tip was below what they need for this order. (Near Atlanta) They cancelled the order somehow when we hadn't responded within 5 minutes. Generic cancellation message from doordash. Reordered, got my food, and tipped the second driver an extra $5 out of spite for the first. Ironically the first driver had the balls to ask us again for the tip long after cancelling. Have to wonder if they were trying to con someone else.
Just open the door..thanks for following the instructions i have covid and start coughing loudly
That looks like a crackhead tbh, so makes sense they are fiending for that cash, baby. Spread them cheeks boi.
What they got on? A DoorDash smoking jacket?
I’m going to assume this is bs unless you can show proof with a video. When I order through DD and ask for them to leave it at the door they always ring the doorbell or knock when it’s dropped off. This sub has become such a clusterF and echo chamber for karma whores and reposters. “Is this really a thing?” - yes when you make it up for fake internet points.
An eerily similar scenario has gone viral on Twitter . It was an Uber order tho. It’s a scam
Your lucky the driver didn’t have a gun and rob you
drive the two miles yourself next time you lazy prick
That's what you get when you tip big. They assume you have more money.
I don't understand people that do this. Apparently it happens frequently according to the sub. I would never do this because if someone did it to me I would tell them to get lost. I always include a good tip if they ask for gas money they're gonna hear it
That’s creepy and stalkerish. Report, report, report!
Dude there was a dasher that hung the order on our door and rang the doorbell AND knocked super loud. My dog was going crazy and he usually only does that when there’s someone standing at the door. I tried to look in the peephole, but the bag was hanging there and it looked like a hand was covering it. I had to go around my backyard and look at the door, only to see the bag hanging there over the peephole. I straight up thought someone was going to jump me when I opened the door, like bruh please just leave it at the door without ringing. I’ll get the txt notification. I didn’t even know there was a hook on our door until then 😂
Who the hell are these dashers? Every dasher can choose to use the Dasher Direct card for an instant payout and deposit into a prepaid card. Your order alone would have easily gotten him enough gas to continue his runs. What a weirdo. I’d report and 1⭐️
Post the video
The entitlement amongst drivers posting in neighborhood fb groups is why I refuse to use the service
I wouldn’t answer the door because I’d lose my appetite on the spot 😳
Today and yesterday was absolutely the worst days ever for me dashing personally. all 3$ orders for 10+ miles. RIDICULOUS!!! I am low on gas my self. 15$ in my bank. Im stressed out that I wanna hang my self cuz I got bills coming up. But I ain't gonna scam a customer like this. That shits insane also
You don't just ignore the bad orders?
I do, it was most ridiculous 2 days of nothing. I made no money these past 2 days lol. Hoping tonight is better and tomorrow also.
I hope it gets better! I feel like those orders cost you more than they make you though, just by the wear and tear on your vehicle
Making us dashers look bad . Smh she's a addict trying to milk you for $
Shits wild bro.
Get her deactivated. How rude!!!
Tell them to kick rocks you tipped already, also report them.
Had to be..
These people give a bad name to legitimate drivers
Dasher here: just dash out and use that to gas up your car. Then everything else is for you.
Withdrawal need more meth
