I'm making a delivery like any other and the customer opens the door and starts yelling at me. Some crap about how much it cost and they want their money back.

So I call DoorDash's support and the customer keeps yelling at me how I'm a pos thief. I put DoorDash's support on speaker phone and after a few minutes of tthe customer yelling at the support person the support person told me to complete the order and walk away.

They are going to escalate it to another level at DoorDash.

 

[Disgusted Driver]

That sounds like fun! Not sure how I would handle, I'm not used to being yelled at. I would probably use my scary calm voice to say "I'm sorry you feel that way, have a lovely day"and just walk away.

 

[Alltel77]

I would've turned around and dropped the food or driven away with the food and reported a safety issue. Nobody forced that idiot to order.

 

[bobby747]

I would have eaten the food if it was quality food..

 

[Invisible]

You were smart to call support. It’s a miracle you reached a live person.

Be careful out there. When I was watching YouTube, saw this video as a suggestion. Cheap customers will do anything to get free food.

 

[Jumpin Jim]

You needed support to tell you to walk away?

 

[FL_Steve]

Don't talk to customers. Nothing good ever comes of it. Not on the phone. And certainly not in person. Same advice applies about talking to cops. Just don't.

If it was some cheap Fast Food order I would have walked back to my car, pulled up the street and then dropped it and said delivered!

Sounds like a great way to make money. All $4.33 cents of it.

Yes, call the cops. She is guilty of theft. At the very least embarrass her.

 

[ObeyTheNumbers]

Don't do delivery.

It's fraught with problems.

Do you live in a place where the police will respond to a call like that?
I know Connecticut is pretty wealthy and entitled ... but, consider how the other 90% live.
If I dialed 911 and told them that I was a delivery driver and someone yelled at me I might get arrested for wasting the 911 operators time.

Toss-up for me. 99.99% I’d remain calm and retreat. But there’s always that scary 0.01% hovering… I’m pretty scary if I’ve had enough. I can be pushed around with zero consequences for a very long time, but if I blow up - it’s Hurricane Granny Panties!

Hehehe.
Sounds like mine.

I've had the police called on me so many times in the past couple months. To keep it short and not bore everybody, twice for cooking on the grill in my backyard and twice for going to the bank. The police responded to all these ridiculous calls, but I'm not sure if the people that reported me called 911 or the non-emergency number.

Hurricane Granny Panties!

This sounds like code for diarrhea.........which is a word that I can never figure out how to spell properly. The double R fouls me up every time!

I would just tell them I understand, but am only contracted to deliver the food, which at this point is not returnable. And they should contact Doordash support with any issues they have.

Door Dash. You leave the food at the Door...and you Dash away

Yep.

First off, the food never tells me the optimum route to the address,

Second off, the food never puked in my car,

Third off, food deliveries go for two bucks a mile from driveway until return; much more profitable than pax drivers, who follow YouTube, and accept one dollar per mile offers from hither to yon without any information regarding the profitability of the offer, and,

Finally, as I have posted many times before, there is never more than one drunk in a delivery driver's vehicle.

Allow me to finish your sentiment , and last but not least , driving people around makes more money . That should do it

More revenues or more profit?

Dollars per hour?

Active time or on-line time?

Profit equals revenue minus expenses.

How are you defining "makes more money?"
