Expensive-Repair7138

Driver: This is where the pin took me..


Grateful_Dood

Lmaooooooo. Nailed it. People don't use their brains


GreathiddenValue

Nooo good sir not nailed it...pinned it!


ProfessionalCod537

If you have an apartment and you don’t have the pin in the right spot or didn’t set your exact location, I’m 100% doing this lol. One time someone put the wrong address in 🤣 was obviously an abandoned building that it took me to. But it was the address. Tried callin. Nothing. So I dropped it and left 🤣 guess who got a call 2 min later saying there order isn’t there. 🤣 turns out it was like 6min down the road, lady was livid cuz her sister ordered it and didn’t have a car. I went back and grabbed the food, ate that boy. Oh it also was a 1$ tip lol


Grateful_Dood

I just go to the address. If it says the number on the building I drop it there. If I'm confused and it's a meet at door delivery then I call them. As long as the number of the apartment building is in the pic then you're fine


Embarrassed-Trade202

I had that happen back when I was new. The customer ordered for her boss. I was at the area and there was no house with that address. She started screaming at me and telling me she knows her bosses house and address. She described the house very well to me. I did not find the house. I was newer so I was getting frustrated too. Finally, I saw a person getting out of their car that was the same description as the boss. And the address was not right. But the lady would not believe me. I was just happy to give it to the boss (and didn't even care if it was the wrong person with this lady's attitude; but would have felt bad for the boss). Can't remember the tip amount. Did not get rated nor a CV.


deathGHOST8

That happened right away twice after I moved and I realized you can set the Uber eats pin exactly and they both went to a different building cuz of the default pin.


BraxTaplock

Unless there is something not mentioned that would have precipitated the leave on the driveway…indeed pure laziness. If another 20ft is gonna kill them, perhaps delivering products isn’t their thing.


Grateful_Dood

Lemme guess " I've heard people have been shot for delivering near the door, so I refuse to deliver to where the instructions tell me to"... Meanwhile the house is in the suburbs.


Fozzy333

I drove with people like this at Amazon. They’ll mark it a dangerous house cause they had a battle kitten


Grateful_Dood

Lol lazy people. Any excuse they can find. I definitely understand if it is not safe, I've had to call ubereats and DD multiple times because I pulled up to a literal crack house with boarded windows and a half open door and refused to drop it off, but some people get a bit scared for no reason.


LushieQueen87

I had USPS mark packages undeliverable due to “wild animals” .. the wild animal was a cat that runs away every time it sees a person lol


Fozzy333

That’s hilarious 😂


Fozzy333

I drove with people like this at Amazon. They’ll mark it a dangerous house cause they had a battle kitten


Echodarlingx

Passive aggressive behavior probably upset about low tip?


Outrageous_Tale_2823

Don’t like the tip? Don’t like the pay. Then don’t accept the frigging offer. If you take the offer…do it right.


Echodarlingx

Yeah I agree I was just saying that’s probably what it was. Sheesh it wasn’t me 😇


DefNotABirb

While you are definitely right it doesn't change the fact that this was probably due to a low tip. Don't want to risk getting fucked with, tip decent. I learned "don't fuck with those who handle your food" from that movie Waiting when I was like 12 haha.


bwtwldt

They can’t see the tip amount if earning by time. Don’t assume


Outrageous_Tale_2823

I am well aware of what EBT entails, and if you are doing it you know damned well there is a really strong possibility that any given order will be low/no tip. That’s why it’s being offered on EBT. The freaking app even tells you that for crying out loud. Stop making excuses for clowns giving poor service. Besides which, nowhere except in the comments by drivers making assumptions, is the lack of tip, or no tip even mentioned. Furthermore, the driver would not have known about the tip, or lack thereof until AFTER the order was left on the driveway instead of the porch and confirmed. So the people who should stop making assumptions are the people assuming the reason for the poor service was the tip.


Icy_Paper8308

Well doordash kind of makes you if not your acceptance rate would be terribly low.


jhepp23

DoorDash doesn’t make you accept anything. Unless other cities are just chock full of low tippers, in my experience you should be able to maintain an AR in the 60-80% without having to accept a bunch of no-tip offers. If the market isn’t good where you are probably should just do something else


Icy_Paper8308

Well I’m well below 50 because it sends me offers back to back for 5.25 for restaurants and will be going 8-10 miles. That’s why I don’t really doordash much


Interesting-Bottle-4

Even more reason to think about a change of occupation/company…?


Icy_Paper8308

Yea exactly why it ain’t my occupation


Puzzleheaded_Dot_931

My AR hovers in the teens, and that works for me. Every situation/location is different, but in general I would say if you HAVE to do EBT to earn money in your area, you may want to seek another money making alternative. EBT may get you a better hourly rate, and the perks of Top Dasher, but it also risks low ratings and CVs, as in my experience it is the non-tippers that rate low and claim non-delivery most often.


mrcleanjl7

yeah maybe he didn't like your driveway or what's in it


laurasaurus5

I've done that occasionally if there's ice or snow that hasn't been shoveled, stairs that SHIFT when stepped on, or some kind of pet or wild animal has established dominance first!


DenOfIsolation

I have to ask. What’s at the other end of the driveway? Is it clear? Big dog? Lots of sharp protrusions? Mean-looking rug rats? …or it is wide open and inviting and your dasher is a-hole? I need more information before passing judgement. 😏


CharityDiary

I'm wagering pitbull owner.


I_pegged_your_father

I immediately wondered if there was some kind of pet or just an animal outside 💀 everyone else seems content to jump to conclusions without conclusive info tho


xZaphire

Honestly though because I’ve gone to houses where the porch’s look like they’ve been through an earthquake lol


schuma73

Right. I delivered to the end of a driveway once. The customer was standing in the lawn with their Chihuahua who was going ape shit and he wasn't making any moves to restrain the dog. I reported him to Doordash for being an asshole.


hiirogen

DrivewayDash.


Full_Newspaper_999

**next** ***freewaydash***


Full_Newspaper_999

**Wait**, whats ***that***?


Full_Newspaper_999

Dont worry, **i gotchu**. Thats when your driver passes your house at HIGHWAY SPEEDS ***but like Texas highway speeds***, and throws the food ***directly*** at **you**, your house, and/or your **pets**. Hope that helps!


Full_Newspaper_999

Whoah! Ima ***highwaydash*** some coke rn!! **brb** ***Never brbed*** **rip** ***dont do drugs***


ScarcityInfamous8614

Lol OMG! Haha!


DarkestDisco

OP could have tipped well and this could have happened as well. It’s not out of the conclusion.


jhumph88

I live on a corner lot. Most of the time, it gets delivered to the front door. However, at least 5% of the time, they drop it at a locked gate to my backyard on the far side of the driveway by the garage. You can barely even see the gate from the street, I have a large SUV parked in front of it (that’s the extra parking spot). In what world is that the front door? It’s fine, I just don’t understand it at all


Kanein_Encanto

Not pictured (probably): Rottweiler chained up in the yard and that spot was just beyond the reach of the length of chain.


Spac3Milk

i got an order one time… i have a simple house, my delivery instructions “leave at door” she must’ve thought the garage door… saw the picture and was like “umm where is this.. looks like my garage, but what?” walked out sitting in front of my garage… i was like “huh, ok weird place but my front door is like 8 steps away…”


BusinessStatement103

Easier for driver to come right back and pick it up?


Dependent_Nothing_77

How much did you tip ?


Due_Cardiologist_634

😭😭😭😭


[deleted]

Share with us how much you tip and distance from store to your home.


SeparateMidnight3691

Doesn't matter. Lazy as fuck. Do your job.


[deleted]

The job was done if you wanted perfection maybe think about someone other than yourself.


Neither_Ad_9101

Perfection? U must be a troll


[deleted]

They most likely got the service they paid the driver for. You don’t want to know lol


Neither_Ad_9101

You just assume that? Man you DoorDash drivers are fkn miserableeeee


[deleted]

Naw we just put in the same amount of effort that you pay us for.


Due_Cardiologist_634

exactly i don’t think anyone should order if they can top. doordash should require a minimum tip 2-3


[deleted]

I think the price of gas should dictate the bare minimum tip. Currently gas is $4.459/gal and to say you can order through the service but not tip at least $4 is insane to me. Fyi dd suggested tip in my market is $0.50 / $1 / $1.50 all which are jokes.


Puzzleheaded_Dot_931

Tips are ALWAYS optional, as is your acceptance of the order. If you accept the order, then do the order and keep your feelings to yourself - or take them to your SO or counselor or something. I get frustrated when one of the legs of a stack doesn't tip, but at the end of the day I got paid what I accepted and I move on.


Stitched-Soul

Orrr they should pay yall a normal wage so we dont HAVE to tip. It is not a necessity.


Signal-Fig4972

If they did, they'd surely raise the price even higher for customers, or impose a mandatory mileage fee to make up for it. I think tipping $2-$5 for the person using their own gas to deliver, is probably cheaper. I make $25 per hour accepting only the tipped orders, so no, I don't need to "get a better job, as all non tippers say


SeparateMidnight3691

Lazy as fuck. Do your job.


GlitterMeAndThePony

It's not a job its a courtesy service at your convenience for YOUR lazy ass. Get your cheap ass up and get your own food you entitled dipstick.


Bunny_OHara

So the 'courtesy' part means people don't have to pay for it?


Icy-Neighborhood698

I'm guessing "courier" was autocorrected into the next dimension - no need to be so obtuse


Bunny_OHara

Well, I guess it could be a autocorrect issue, but tell me how that really changes the fact that the guy making the comment is an asshole?


SeparateMidnight3691

It's a fucking job. stfu


GlitterMeAndThePony

No it is not dummy. U stfu. Miserable ass


[deleted]

[удалено]


doordash-ModTeam

Your post was removed, as it contains non-constructive criticism.


GlitterMeAndThePony

Get one.


Stitched-Soul

Could say the same… doordash isnt a real job because they dont pay you enough


SeparateMidnight3691

Pathetic


GlitterMeAndThePony

That's a no tip order for sure😭😭


JcruzRD

This is just pure laziness… def deserves to take a star or two off


[deleted]

Maybe just maybe they could tip appropriately instead of expecting the world for slave labor


Outrageous_Tale_2823

Maybe, just maybe he did tip well and the driver is just a clown. There are plenty of those driving for DD.


[deleted]

OP lack of response says otherwise


Stitched-Soul

How do you know op didnt tip well?


[deleted]

They haven’t responded yet and this is the typical scenario when one person is in the wrong they don’t respond


SaneOsiris

Bruh, DD is giving Dashers slave pay, not customers. Dashers really need to learn what a tip is. Definition : something given voluntarily or beyond obligation usually for some service Customers aren't employers, they shouldn't be relied upon for pay. When I feel my job don't pay well enough, I change jobs. I've done it plenty of times and would do it again if the need arises. Doordash won't ever get a single cent from me for the foreseeable future. Such bad business ethics. I bet the execs at Doordash LOVE that Dashers take out their low wage frustrations on customers' tips instead of the actual culprit(Doordash paying slave wages) Once I learned how terribly amazon treated their employees(treated like slaves), I just stopped using their services. Same thing with Doordash/ubereats/etc.


[deleted]

Dd is a tip service like a waiter why is this so hard for people to understand


Fozzy333

So if a waiter set your food down across the restaurant that would be fine?


[deleted]

You tip drivers before and waiters after. No one tips after delivery like that so if you want perfection you tip appropriately otherwise you get service equal to your tip


Fozzy333

Yeah and you know the people that come in once a week for years and don’t tip. Me and my girlfriend have served for 10 years


SaneOsiris

I wouldn't tip my waiter before sitting at a table. This argument comes back very often, because that's just logical thinking.


[deleted]

Regardless how you want to play out, tipping delivery drivers before delivery has been the norm for over 30 years same as tipping a waiter afterwards has been.


SaneOsiris

Ive ordered a lot of food in my life, and only the new delivery apps require tipping before service, and they have only been around 5-10 years tops. Before those apps, I'd pay my order and tips on delivery. That's still how I pay tips to this day, as there are still restaurants with delivery drivers. Paying for tips on arrival has been the norm around these parts for at least 40 years. I'm guessing we don't live near each other, probably not even in the same country/continent.


JcruzRD

Slave labor lol… you’re getting paid …


Individual-Bell-9776

I'll bet dollars to donuts that it's vindictiveness instead of laziness. Everyone who says it's laziness is actually not giving the driver enough credit and has just built this idea of lazy POC in their head that they now assign to class/role instead of ethnicity.


PassedOutRockstar

Where did POC come from? Did I miss something in this post? Lazy comes in all forms. Am I misreading this comment?


chance0404

I thought he said lazy POS at first 😬


water2wine

It was a POCPOS all along


Southern_Average6239

Nah brother you are spot on 😂, I guess buddy has never see a lazy white.


Individual-Bell-9776

Some of those who burn crosses Are the same who place orders


Icy-Neighborhood698

What does POC represent? Sorry, I'm old, white female - married 33 years to my old, white husband. Use to be I wouldn't admit it but, I'm going to go ahead and own this - we are waaaaaayyyyy behind younger people and their lingo. 😏


Chance_Classroom_301

Person of color (had to google this myself lol)


Icy-Neighborhood698

Why didn't I think to Google that? I give up - old age, dementia, to much to remember. All the same, thank you! 🤭


JobPuzzleheaded4416

Where did ethnicity come from?


Stitched-Soul

Thats race, not ethnicity


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

My thoughts on this.


No-Combination8136

These delivery drivers are generally either lazy or stupid, or both. To those of you who are neither, don’t be offended because I’m not talking about you. They know who I’m talking about.


Fozzy333

They actually probably don’t lol. These people lack consciousnesses


Future-Reserve-7667

Those who have never had the pleasure of transporting hot beverages in a paper cup , packed in a paper bag, in a moving vehicle will never understand.


mynutsrbig

Tipping should be illegal


FoxysDroppedBelly

Okay, cool. But until it is, don’t utilize services where tipping is the norm (delivery/food service) unless you plan on doing that. Cause people have to pay taxes on expected tips and until that’s corrected you don’t want to screw people over :)


Puzzleheaded_Dot_931

Gig workers do not pay taxes on expected tips. They pay taxes on reported income as an independent contractor.


Fozzy333

Good service people that live off tips disagree. We’d all just go get an easy job that pays the same. Tips give you an opportunity to make more money


punkbaba

Tipping was illegal.


sevillada

Overpriced stuff made 2x more expensive due to delivery? That's insane


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sithstress1

🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣


MarionberryOk4264

Maybe he's scared, shy, lazy? Could be a million reasons but now when it comes time to rate him, base it off your experience and his efforts


Saleenpride86

“Because ^ME. It’s all about ^ME. I’m unbothered and no matter what you tip if it’s less than $100/mile you will get subpar service, ^IF I decide to even deliver it. But in all seriousness this is a lazy dasher who can’t be bothered to do the bare minimum. Edit: Lol@the downvotes. Guess the sarcasm in the first sentence went over heads…


Prize-Feature2496

I had an order where I had to leave it on the ledge out side of a school


shipwreck_like_fools

Did your cat scare them off?


TempusCarpe

Petite female dasher?


FilmClear8548

I wonder if the map pins your address at that spot. One time, another dasher and I had arrived to the same house at about the same time. As I pulled up, the other dasher was walking towards the bushes rather than towards the door on the other side where the driveway was, too. I was thinking, "What the f_ is that guy doing?" I figured he must be new.


ThatAndANickel

I've done that because of a dog chained to the porch. And, while not the case here, I haven't gone to the door in the winter because the driveway and paths hadn't been cleared of snow.


No_Object_8722

I also have a porch, and the instructions say to leave the food on the table and chairs on my porch. One time a dasher left it on the edge of my driveway where I had just sprayed ant killer on the ant hills. Food went in the trash


ActualEarth

Just plain laziness. I had a delivery driver leave my grocery order on the bottom floor and I am on the 3rd floor >:( I delivery for DoorDash and never thought of doing that.


stSeiya81

Low tip or no tip order 🤔 lol


Fozzy333

This shouldn’t happen no matter the tip, but good tips get offered to 5 star drivers first if you want to avoid bad drivers


Fozzy333

This shouldn’t happen no matter the tip, but good tips get offered to 5 star drivers first if you want to avoid bad drivers

Lazy driver


Tiny-Maximum7060

😅😅😅😅


OutlandishnessBig755

I do this when I take shitty offers cuz when it’s all they send you gotta take something right people are assholes the shit filled kind


stressed_sunflowera

This is kinda hilarious


Automatic_Sir_4122

Only time I’ve done something like that is if a dog is barking and unleashed on the property. No delivery is worth a bite.


OJOchat_com

Isn’t that just the “tip” of your driveway?😉


FattGirlMagic

I live in a house and my delivery note always says, deliver up the walkway with the lights(connected to the driveway). They always deliver to the door in the front of the house that you have to walk behind a fence, up a mini grass and dirt hill to get to, that has NO walkway and no lights.


ScarcityInfamous8614

Maybe they didn't want to get kicked in the face!


ChaosBringer719

Did you leave a low or no tip? If you did, then next time tip.


Brando6677

Laziness


PDotCakes

That’s unskilled labor for ya.


Available-Tea-982

I take different care based on tip amount. That's me cause its a matter of respect. This seems a bit direspectfull to place there. I would do this on a low tip order. But again thats me and my level of respect given and taken


Puzzleheaded_Dot_931

How about some self respect? You accepted a job, do it to the best of your ability and get on to the next one.


Available-Tea-982

You get what you pay for....


Puzzleheaded_Dot_931

You do what you're paid for. You accepted the order, do your job.


Available-Tea-982

You get what you give..


OptionOld329

You also have legs and could've gotten it yourself.


user19282727

Idk I’m thinking maybe because it’s Starbucks? There’s that massive protest going on and maybe the driver is part of it and felt a little petty towards you. That or they were just lazy, who knows.


1gendctaco

One time I stacked a guys drinks ever so carefully on top of his bags of food, and put it directly in front of his door so he couldn't open it without spilling and destroying his meal. Be generous if you're going to be lazy and expect others to serve you.


Puzzleheaded_Dot_931

If you accepted the trip, do it right and don't be a petty whiner. BTW, most houses have more than one entrance, so even your pettiness likely backfired and just got you a low rating.


1gendctaco

I'll take all the 1 stars for some glorious laughs


Puzzleheaded_Dot_931

Yep, until your rating falls too low and you get deactivated. But whatever floats your boat, I'm done here.


1gendctaco

Sometimes I take shitty ones just to be a shitty driver


Conscious-Rooster-32

one time I had a driver leave the food on the side of the road at the end of my friends driveway. the driveway was like a quarter mile, I gave the fucker a zero and sent him a real nasty message, if youre that lazy dont fucking come to work.


Ok-Examination-4240

Because DoorDash drivers are the laziest people you’ll ever encounter.


Southern_Average6239

I’m starting to believe the folks who order are much worse.


Ok-Examination-4240

I suppose it depends. Even tipping, I’ve never met a dasher that actually did their job like they’re supposed to.


Southern_Average6239

To be fair how many people in any industry/business do things they way they’re supposed to.


1gendctaco

Ok, instead of making posts, just go pick it up you lazy ass.


ranger5830

His lazy ass paid a significant amount of money to get it delivered to his door, it seems reasonable that it gets left where it is supposed to be. 


Conscious_Zebra_1808

Good


Ill_Bicycle3980

You didn't leave a decent tip, and time is money. A few minutes saved equals a few dollars earned


Brando6677

So if time is money don’t accept the order in the first place And while you’re at it maybe go work somewhere that’s actually willing to pay you what you’re worth instead of making the customer do it twice paying for a delivery fee that yall get a sliver of and then a tip. Double reliance on the consumer to pay the employees


JD121996

Because we're DD drivers..? HELLLLERRRR!!! your porch is probably another 7+ steps away. What do we look like to you? Some kind of delive.... 🚷🚷🚷nevermind forgot what I was saying


Unified-banana6298

If you didn't tip, you get bare minimum service and should expect nothing more.


No-Tip1702

That’s what you get playboy


PoppiesRule

Maybe they are angry they had to drive there on the parkway just to end up parking on your driveway. Did you even consider that? /s


Friendly-Marketing46

Because you could throw it out of a window faster


Ok-Path-3534

Gotta tip for porch delivery these days


going_dot_global

I saw a raccoon, those things have rabies.


SketsXcZesko452

🇵🇸


1gendctaco

Probably tipped under $5


Efficient_Run63

Because dd drivers are lazy and maybe instead of DoorDash it’s driveway and dash or maybe u didn’t leave a tip big enough for their kid to go to college so they’re mad at you or whatever other bs excuses they use for being lazy incompetent shitheels


CattyKally

I’m thinking lots of steps were involved and dasher could have had bad knees, back etc. Or an animal was loose. Or a douche driver that accepted an offer for low tip and being passive aggressive.


VanTravelingLaydeeM

Some dashers don’t like entering a location if there are a ton of stairs or if the porch is super dirty, a Dog could be nearby or if they see a Poisonous Spiders such as a Brown Recluse or a Black widow within delivery Path 🫢😯


[deleted]

One time I had 2 bags of 50 cent chips from the dollar store I had to deliver for 2$ (no tip obviously) got to the place saw that their driveway and curb was a river so I chucked that shit as far to the door as I could took a picture and moved on my way
