Think I may have pissed off my DoorDash driver

[djefferis]

So ordered dinner the other night via DoorDash - it was snowing pretty good and just me at home - so decided to dash it and skip the drive into town.

Of course the driveway/sidewalk not cleared as it was coming down pretty good - and no way in hell I was risking another heart attack going out shoveling it.

Didn’t notice the other night - but walked out with trash for pickup this morning to see someone had left me this “message”

If this is a joke it’s funny as hell

If it’s not it’s disturbing as hell.

Did you not tip enough?

 

[djefferis]

Tip $3 - on a $12 order for 4 miles on a grab and go order I felt that was fair.

Some of these DoorDash drivers are comical - had one dipshit park his car in the main road just beyond a blind hill at night to walk through my yard to deliver. This was AFTER turning down the side street and around in my driveway.

A bad accident waiting to happen - and why the hell walk through 6” of snow for 300’ when you could just drive up the plowed drive and drop the bag and drive off ?

Gotta be careful with these lunatics today they’ll take your life over a $5 tip

I’ve become a bigger tipper since my financial situation has gotten better

I keep $100 worth of $5 bills in my wallet and $10 worth of $1s

There are a few places, and one I go to twice a week, where I get a $10 lunch special tea included. Always get the same waitress and tip her $5 or $6 cash


if my meal is $25 range tip two of the $5’s

Been tipping the DoorDash folks a couple of dollars more than I used to as well

makes me feel good

You have that story where someone came back with her boyfriend with a gun or a knife later on after a guy short tipped her on a pizza?

Would have been much more detailed if Illini had drawn it I suspect.

Too child like - more like something JJ would have “created”.

I’ve seen several stories like that last 1-2 years

Pro tip: always and I mean always over tip and be overly nice when somebody you don't know from Adam is handling your food.

 

[Tanko]

That is funny as hell @djefferis .
The Doordash guy has a sense of humor.

 

[flyingillini]

I have never heard of this service before ? How new is it ? It wasn’t around before I moved to the promise land.

Places I go regularly in person I tend to tip well.

DoorDash / delivery - I tip but typically 10-15%.

I feel for some of these people - as I recognize the apps pay jack shit - but at the same time why is it MY responsibility to subsidize their employer (whose service I pay for) and their choices.

Most people who do this are either just tying to make a few extra bucks - or are otherwise highly limited in their employment options. I feel bad for someone for example who has child care needs that can’t be met while they go to a traditional job - but your life choices/your responsibility. Would you tip less of you found out the dasher was say a gambling addict living off a trust fund and just dashed to get money to gamble with because their wife controlled the purse strings ? My philosophy is simple - everyone gets 10-15% - regardless of their backstory. A little more if it’s say a place where I know they are going to have to stand around and wait on my order - or if service goes above/beyond. When I’ve waited an hour on my stuff because they did 3 other orders for another app/forgot condiments or didn’t deliver to the door I asked it be brought to - your getting what I initially tipped.

Stay safe, DJ. People do crazy stuff.

UberEats competitor

Been around a while

Just depends on where your at - DoorDash is nationwide I think - but UberEats is probably biggest. Amazon now has GrubHub / Postmates I think - so they will probably start expanding.

No doubt - I suspect it’s just a child like person having some fun.

I just have them leave at the door. Less I see of people - the happier I am someday.

This is the true meaning of peaceful life.

Probably risked another heart attack by ordering anything from door dash, but yeah the driver wasn't a fan of your snow

Like I have said - that’s the great thing about these apps - no one is FORCING you to do jack.

Weather shitty and don’t want to go out in it - stay home. It’s not like your “scheduled” to DoorDash and get in trouble for calling off - just don’t log on.

Of course less dashers - more deliveries and more money. A lot want it both ways - more money and easier work - it doesn’t work like that.

Actually went healthy that night too - local coop kitchen. All fresh stuff and basically small business/food trucks on a rotating weekend basis. No way in hell I’d be doing McDs or some crap - occasionally Wendy’s chili which is bad enough - but that’s extent of my fast food dining.

On most orders the driver can see the total amount of the tip and the total amount the driver will get for completing that order before accepting it. It was his own fault for taking it
