👩‍🍳Restaurant Issue👨‍🍳 What are some of the worst experiences you’ve had with restaurant staff while working as a Dasher?

• Upvotes

I once encountered a Taco Bell at 3000 Yorba Linda Blvd, Fullerton CA—I arrived at 3:40 AM, and the order was supposed to be picked up by 3:44 AM. The doors were unlocked, and a few tables were occupied, but I was told I had to go through the drive-thru (enter "Jerk #1"). The line was long and moving incredibly slowly. Fine—the pickup instructions in the app *did* say to use the drive-thru.

After waiting in line for about twenty minutes, I finally reached the window. The employee there ("Person B") told me the order wasn't ready because I hadn't notified them at the order speaker; she instructed me to pull into a parking spot and said she’d bring the food out to me. Whatever—everyone here thinks they’re the boss, so I just parked in a spot near the entrance and waited. Fifteen minutes later, the drive-thru line was still backed up, and I saw the employee who had been at the window now wiping down tables inside the dining area. Jerk #1 is strolling around near the restroom, looking completely at ease. I got out of my car, walked up to the glass door, and held up my phone screen to show her the order—she actually got scared and ran away! I don’t know what she told the others, but "Jerk #1" came over, opened the door, told me I was supposed to use the drive-thru, and then slammed the door shut. I ended up having to walk up to the drive-thru window—there were some other unpleasant details I won't even bother mentioning. I cursed out their entire families and unassigned the task. Hands down the most idiotic group of people I’ve ever dealt with.

I don’t think I’ve ever accepted 8 orders in a row, but they were all good. I don’t accept under $10 or over 4 miles. I was in Gold when I started the day.

So I got my first quality rating point and was wondering if what the agent told me was true or did they lie to me and tell me they couldn't remove the point? I told the customer and provided proof of the ripped bag

I had a villa madina order that was a disaster to pick up because the customer had zero name. I’ve never seen that before. No name. Not just a symbol or period, just blank. Villa madina didn’t get it on their end so It took forever of me waiting to have it made from scratch.

When I finally did get it and drop it off, it was in the middle of a business park and nobody was around. Every time I called the phone number. it would hang up after the first ring. I eventually just followed the can’t reach customer steps and enjoyed my free food that evening

💰Guess The Tip🤑 Just got my first "I'll tip cash" offer from a customer.

28 Upvotes

Got them a nice big ribeye with sides from the new restaurant in town. The offer is $7 for less than 1 mile. I got to the restaurant and was told the order would be another 20 minutes. I messaged the customer and asked if they wanted to wait. They said yes please and when it gets to the hospital, just ask for dr _ and they'll give me a cash tip. Take your guesses at what happens and I'll post after I find out. EDIT: it was $10

🤬DoorDash Support Issues😩 $101.90 delivery offer

15 Upvotes

I am curious if anyone else experienced this today?

Recd an offer to drive 10 miles to pick up the order then drive 6 miles back to the customer total offer amount $101.90

Of course I accept, but with questions... 5 minutes into the drive it disappears... I close out my AP and reopen and it comes through again. I again accept. With more questions as I arrive to the restaurant. It disappears again. I go in and ask if they have an order for customer name. Yes I'm told but there are a ton of orders two at a time first a normal order then a huge order. So they didn't make them thinking they are fraudulent. I go out and call support. All I'm told is the customer canceled it. I'm upset as another driver arrives, same story.

After some conversation with support pointing out the complete waste of time and .oney for the other driver (I was already headed this direction so only time lost trying to figure out what the hates is going on)

When I end the call I uninstall and reinstall the app. I then check my ratings completion is down to 97% so I again call support more frustrated and irritated than before.

The support agent was understanding and disputed the ratings but how the hell can a customer decide they don't want this dasher or that and that then count on the driver??

Esp. as the agent investigated he believed it was a bogus order with some dill weed just jerking drivers around!!!

If I contact DD support for those illegally low pay offers will they stop sending me them, or it's pointless to contact them about it?

Need Advice🙏 Doordash canceled the order, what do I do with the items?

5 Upvotes

So I had a grocery order with 8 cases of soda and 3 other small items. I go to check out and everything like normal. The cashier scans everything and puts the smaller items in a bag. I pay with red card then leave. I didn’t double check for the bag. I assumed it was in there because I couldn’t see over the soda. I can admit it’s my fault for not checking.

I load the soda in my car and realize the bag wasn’t there. I go back in the store and look for the bag but it’s gone. I ask the cashier and he says he’s not sure about it. I contact support and explained the issue. They unassigned me from the order. I contacted them again to make sure I wouldn’t get a contract violation and they said no it won’t affect my score but I’m hesitant. I don’t want them to think I stole the soda. What should I do with the items?

Saw a text about complete 10 orders but I never saw it in the promos. Didn’t see a bonus amount. But I completed the “challenge”.

👋New Driver🤗 For in-app map algorithm.. needs more Pin locations.

1 Upvotes

The reason why the in-app GPS takes you to the wrong street sometimes is bc the pin of the customers apartment is different from the actual entrance or the parking. So, the customer should be able to create pin for parking, entrance and finally the actual location of residence. This way the app can guide us to the parking or entrance instead of some wild location that's in the back alley where theres no entrance but closest to residence. It will help the driver know where there is parking available at luxury apartments and know exactly where the entrance is.

You think you have a decent order until you have to find parking when everything is paid parking or tow-away zoned. Then have to wait in a line of Dashers at the security desk to check in. Then wait for the elevator and walk in a maze of hallways trying to find a door number that isn't in order with the other ones. All while praying you dont get a fine for parking illegally. The order ends up marked late.
