So I know most of you don’t TikTok, so bringing you the news.

DoorDash is not refunding people as they used to do. Lots of upset “regular customers”. Wink-wink, nudge-nudge.

Of course none of them ever abused the “order not recieved” hack. But - cough - “every time I reported before, I got my full refund, and now they just gave me $5 and asked if I’d liketo end my subscription”.

I can’t help myself. I’m gloating here.

While true that I never experienced this first-hand, it’s not because of customers, it’s because of you guys’ advice and being extremely selective what I take.

But I enjoy their whining. Music to my ears.

I did refrain from replying, as I dislike fake indignation. OF COURSE they all “tip high”, “tip in cash”, and “my last three orders were all wrong”.

Sounds legit.

Considering we have personally had to go search for 75% of our Door Dash orders we have stopped using them. Without a doubt the worst delivery service. I understand our address comes up wrong on the map because it is a newer house, but seriously, how hard is it to find the correct address in a cul de sac when we specifically provide notes to make sure they get it right? Even before we moved in here we were in a duplex with two separate addresses and they would deliver to the wrong side of the duplex. And yes we tip well because I have done Door Dash, Grub Hub and Uber Eats and I know how bad the pay is without a tip.

I don’t. But who knows what they’ll think of next? No one. They’re nuts.

You are confusing nuts with diabolical.

It is most likely going to be based off their order history or the average reported theft in that neighborhood. If 1 out of 4 orders don't get delivered, the decision will be made that you are not a profitable customer to door dash.

I have dealt with people who are supposed to pay me my whole life.
And, I have told more than one: "You are a 'customer' that I would wish on my competition. I can't afford you. Would you like a referral to a different realtor?"

I figure that it boils down to the 80/20 rule.
20% of your customers will produce 80% of the problems.
Why waste your time with people that you'll never please, and will always talk shit about you? And, when the deal is over complain that you charged too much.

Be rid of them early - and with extreme prejudice.

True, True, True!!!
I used to manage a custom photo lab. I quickly learned how to turn the problem children around or away. You could easily spend as much time on a $100 job as on a $1000 job if you let the $100 customer, whine, complain and demand a redo for reasons they didn't explain to you when they dropped off the order. I got rid of the bottom 10% of customers in terms of profitability and most of the walk in's who were starving actors and we made more money with less effort and volume. What was hysterical was the Studio 54 effect. Studio 54 was the first place that had a line outside and decided who would and wouldn't get in. If I told someone I didn't want their business that would make some customers want me to do the work for them even more.

Similar with Uber , I pull up to Mandalay Bay to pick up deejism , I say hi how y’all doin tonight , deejism and quannifa say , what the **** you say ***** , I say , get yo ghetto ass out my car befoo I get some pipe hittin crackas too run a train on yo ***** ass ho quanniffa , they queef , foo shoo my nizzle .

Just gotta get on some of those levels sometimes ,
Even us country boys understand you UBERBASTID

As a former resident, I can't even imagine doing deliveries in NYC. Then the "wrong address" game, screw that noise. 2 miles could be 5 minutes or 30 minutes and no one is offering to pay you for that.

It's funny you say that because everytime I visit my brother in Texas, I think the same thing "how do people deliver here, so much driving".

I've gotten accustomed to the double parking, hydrant parking, fitting into little corners, sometimes parking 2 blocks down and taking a walk because the block you need to go to is closed for car traffic (common situation in NYC to promote safety for pedestrians) taking the stairs, navigating sky scraper apartment complexes with doormen that assign you an elevator, I like delivering in Queens. It's a mix of heavy metro with light suburbs. Once in a while you get a house and it feels so relatively easy


Manhattan tho, whole different beast. I did Manhattan as a bike messenger, when uber eats was called Uber Rush. Getting 20$ for a delivery back then was common, the base fare was dope and they paid per mile after the base fare. People didn't have to tip, there wasn't a system yet for tipping. Their promotions were ridiculous too

This was almost 10 years ago. It was actually fun back then.

I have told ghetto rats before that ''I can not understand what you are saying. Do you speak English?"
I usually get a chuckle, and then they switch over to Caucasian-OG speak IF they want me to understand them - otherwise they just get a blank stare (or I look for a translation ap).

I don't even try to understand it.
There are some benefits to old age. Not many, and they are not worth the other side effects, but one of them is you get to be a 'crusty old curmudgeon' that people roll their eyes at, but they still act and react.

"I speak English. I have my whole life. It is the only language I speak or understand. If we're going to communicate, you need to speak English or find an ap to load up." Simple.

Similar situation:
One of my wife's in-law's came to visit and brought their 15 year old juvenile delinquent son with them.
He seemed to be a good kid, just needed some adult guidance.

He really wanted to go fishing and we planned a trip; me and him and his dad.
The morning we were to go out he shows up at the breakfast table with pants barely covering his ass, they hanging way down. I shook my head and said, "You need to pull your pants up and put a belt on."
He grinned and said, "MY parents let me dress any way I want."
I said, "Well, you are not sitting at your parents breakfast table - you are sitting at mine. And I have a dress code for meals. Basically, your ass has to be covered."

Both dad and kid looked at me in amazement. It was my turn to grin.
"AND, I have to live in this town and someone I know may see us today, so you gotta do the same thing in order to board my boat today. I'm not going to be seen with someone dressed like that - people are judged by the people they hang with, and I have to live here."

Oh, everybody got their panties all knotted up. I was an ogre. My wife was mad, the kids mom was mad, dad was beside himself (we allow him to express himself ... bla, bla, bla) But, I was determined. THAT is the way it's gonna go.

End of the story? Kid pulled his pants up, put a belt on, and we went and had a great day. The lake was beautiful, the fishing was great and he came home with a big smile and a slight sunburn.
I told him he was welcome back any time, but next time to bring more appropriate clothing.

Yep , I like it , my kids were taught at an early age that when we are in public, I am not to be embarrassed, and they are very well behaved children, actually, they are well behaved adults now ,
It takes tough love, and they may not like it at the moment, while they are growing up, however, when they become an adult, it is well worth the effort having gone through it , and quite honestly, I’ve been married for 30 years, and I had to teach my wife, a few manners as well, because after all, the man lead by example, and everything else follows, that is my belief, I’ll meet kindness, with overwhelming kindness , but if you cross me in public, I will hand out a verbal beat down , with no shame .

Ah the age old tale of the family vs the guy who draws boundaries and behaves in a productive and non toxic manner.


I salute you 👏 🫡

If I didn't need customers to keep ordering and DoorDash to pay me. They can all burn in hell. I'm tired of DoorDash connecting me to my customer to deal with a problem that is not my problem. I'm sorry you didn't get a fork with your McDoubleRatBurger meal and the black spots on your fries are not pepper. It's because they didn't clean that McDonalds.... EVER!!!

Anyway rant over. I feel if a customer has a problem with what is in the order they need to contact the people that prepared the order or contact DoorDash. The driver doesn't need to deal with those complaints. If I drove over your kids playing in the roads then call me.

Our job is to pickup what they give us to deliver and deliver it. I don't care what is or isn't in the sealed bag. They may put dirty underwear in the bag. I don't care.

I'm sorry about the venting I just had to deal with a customer that told me that DoorDash didn't refund them. Like WTF can I do about it?

Exactly! Drivers are NOT restaurant workers. Our job is to deliver what the restaurant has prepared. Do FedEx/UPS etc. verify what's in the packages they ship? No. Restaurant delivery is the same. Our UCC code is delivery driver, not restaurant worker.

No doubt. There are some dumb drivers, too.

There are always things that go wrong with orders but I think this is about customers abusing the I didn't receive my order scam so that they can get a full refund.

I have a friend that does UE and fighting this issue all the time. Worst are apartment buildings. Make lying wrong again. Worst part is there are a number of money saving articles floating around the net advertising this technique to save money.
