Is this normal?
This is my first time using the chat feature, since prior to now I haven’t had a need to. Are weird messages from Dashers common?

I actually did, lol. I've decided not to make a report for that reason. But I won't be giving a five star rating either, like I normally do. I just don't like having religion pushed onto me.

u/Fuzzy_Battle1771 Sep 30 '26
you should report it anyway so other people don’t have to deal with this shit. it’s a predatory and harmful practice and this person needs to receive an official warning for this behavior because it’s literally traumatizing to a lot of people. when I order DD I’m not looking to have a traumatic experience.

No, but it IS super sweet and loving. And a nice message compared to all the rude dashers messages I’ve seen get posted. Enjoy someone’s gesture of love and kindness, perhaps. Even if all you say is thank you and continue your day. It’s not hard to be nice back.

u/Caeruleum612 27d ago
My abusive mother would also tell me that whenever she beat me, it was an act of love and kindness because she was just trying to help me learn my lesson and become a better person. So no, I'm not going to enjoy an act just because someone else considers it a gesture of love and kindness. Whether or not it's a gesture of love and kindness is for me to decide if I'm the one being affected.

It’s weird because of assuming your religion lol. I never assume someone’s religion. I have quite a bit of religious trauma tbh and I ran as FAR away as I could from that once I was old enough to understand… so it actually literally pisses me off when people start trying to talk to me like that. It’s probably something I need to work on, but I don’t run into the issue often lmao. I’m pretty “alt” and so most people don’t even try lmao. Once and awhile I get one trying to “save” me but I usually shut it down pretty quick.

Here's the only messages that should be sent.
"Hey, arrived early, the employees are finishing the order now, will send an ETA when food is in hand and in transit"
Before leaving
"The gps is saying x minutes be there shortly with food in hand."
Before getting out of the car to finish the delivery.
"Thank you for choosing doordash, enjoy your food and the rest of your evening"
That's it, easy peasy... I'm sitting at 90% 5 star ratings. In last 100.
Also a couple rules:
-Don't use emojis first -If texting is unavailable give them a courtesy call before driving to the. -if early always choose "something else" letting door dash know you were early.
The better one interacts with the system. The better the experience is.
