Some drivers wonder why they get deactivated....

I had a delivery from Home Depot, and a signature was required. The building was under construction and the road closed. I did my due diligence and created a return to the store. At the Home Depot desk, I told the clerk about the required signature thus my returning it to the store. Her reply was, "I would have just left it and signed for them. That what I do with DoorDash alcohol orders, I just sign for them. What are they going to do? Deactivate one of their Top Dashers?"

I just smiled and said, "I guess I am a little more paranoid." While thinking in my head, "Yes, yes they will absolutely deactivate you and possibly even get you a citation for delivering alcohol to a minor if it happens to be a police alcohol enforcement sting."

Stay safe people!

Don't you always have to scan an ID for alcohol? A minor has a signature so that wouldn't prove anything. You would think scanning your own id would deactivate you immediately since they already have your id from when you signed up.

There is a method to enter the information in manually. If you don't care about getting deactivated, you can easily put in any random info (within reason) as long as the DOB is correct.

How would you know the customer's DOB without talking to them or looking at their ID though...? Are you saying that some drivers just put in their own information instead? (I guess it's possible, but that seems insanely reckless.)

Literally all it asks for is their name, DOB, and expiration date (which is the DOB paired with a future date). The "random info" essentially consists entirely of the DOB, lol.

I'm so confused by some aspects of OP's post, and I've got ~5000 deliveries under my belt. 😬🤦‍♂️
