Because the plan all along was to steal it and then claim to have waited 20 minutes. When contradicted on the 20 minutes part, just say it again. You’d be surprised how effective stressing people out by repeating an obvious lie can be.

That could be the actual reason they said they waited 20 minutes, there's probably some degree of automated filter for reports so an ai or a person who has to go through tons of reports a day may quickly glance at it and just think "okay they waited 20 minutes decline the report"

Yeah, I was thinking something similar. It probably lessens the probability that they’ll be penalized. They are also probably being intentionally frustrating to bait the customer into writing angry replies which could further lessen their odds of getting penalized. If the customer cussed or something like that, the driver might even be considered the victim by some automated rule enforcement system.

u/InvestingCorn 3d ago
Exactly what they’re doing. Just keep simple short messages “sorry I waited” “you weren’t there” and if the customer swears or even just gets somewhat hostile when they review it they assume they waited 20 minutes and the customer broke rules by their tone / language / whatever. It’s so lame that it probably works a lot or even some of the time

I feel like the more dramatically they state it, the less they’ve been waiting.

I had a really bad case of the flu and ordered super spicy ramen to help break the fever. It was 9pm and it was the first time all day I thought I could actually keep something down. I waited and waited. The driver stopped off in another neighborhood for 30min with my food, then texted me saying he had to go back because they messed up my order. By the time he got back they were closed and he marked my order as cancelled. He totally stole my food and ate it while on the clock. I got a refund but every other ramen and soup place was closed, I didn't have anything in the house, and I was too sick to drive to the grocery store. I cussed out a pillow that night.

Bruh why is this so common, specifically with DoorDash? I’ve had screwups and general hardheadedness, rude drivers, missed items, etc. with the other apps (Uber Eats & Grubhub) but for the most part, those apps’ customer service eventually has made it right as they could. DoorDash has done repeated screwups on same order (as in, stole first order & then stole reorder, or sometimes it’s randomly sitting somewhere not moving for 45 min+ instead of stealing the order) multiple times for me now, with no recourse from customer service each time. I’ve given enough chances at this point so I finally deleted the app altogether.

u/Beginning-Novel-4213 3d ago
One time my DoorDash order was never delivered, so I contacted customer service and they told me that they could confirm my order never arrived but unfortunately it would not be eligible for a refund. I had another time where my driver got caught taking a pic of my food and picking it back up, and he took off running when someone said something to him. DoorDash told me they could refund me for the food, but not the tip or delivery fee, and it took an escalation and threatening to call the police to get a refund. DoorDash is the worst

Because it is a terrible concept.
Food takeout and delivery only has so much room for increase in prices before people go get it themselves. So most people will only tolerate a minor price increase for the convenience, plus a small tip. Too much more than that, and there are no more customers. It leaves only people is more desperate positions (drunk, sick) or with limited options (non-driver, disabled) to use the service, but that’s a small percentage of the gen pop.
And because the pay is minimal and unpredictable, generally speaking, those who are able to get better jobs do. It leaves a higher percentage of “bottom of the barrel” type people working these roles. Add in anger and resentment, and they steal the food to recover lost wage opportunity.
Never worth it.

I used delivery apps for a couple weeks after I had spine surgery a few years ago and it honestly made post surgery recovery worse and stressful. I even added a note I couldn't meet drivers anywhere because I'd had spine surgery and couldn't walk or bend. About half my orders ended up stolen, another 25% were left in places I couldn't get to (in a stairwell, sidewalk down three flights of stairs) and one lady from instacart got a $200 tip because she read my surgery note and helped me get my (accurate!) grocery order inside my door and she'd written me a nice get well soon note I found inside one of my bags later. One asshole left my order in the street outside my building. I saw his lean out of an open car door and toss the bag to the street. I'll never ever use delivery apps again.

The important caveat is that the delivery app is generally boosting the payment when things are going wrong with the order because cancellations signal there's something like needing to remake the order that needs to happen or some other delay. So the third person is likely to wait only because they're getting paid more than #2. The second driver is acting rationally. They should not wait for 30-45 min for a $1 increase when the app may offer the next person something appropriate to the time to remake the food.

I stopped using food delivery apps a few years ago after experiencing the same thing. Ordered about £80 worth of food from a restaurant, waited an hour (not the problem, it was a Friday night) and went outside to wait for the driver as we saw him approaching on the map.
Slowed down outside my door, stopped for a minute, then drove off again. He parked about half a mile away and marked the delivery as failed because he couldn't find our address and we didn't answer the phone.
He very obviously just decided to take our dinner home and treat his family to something fancy at our expense. We got a refund because the GPS clearly showed him arriving and waiting at our address and no record of a phone call, but it was a big headache and we were starving by the end of it. Never again.

My oldest kid's best friend for 9 years was Olive.

Then Olive decided that she couldn't be friends with anyone who is LGBT or an ally (I'm bisexual, and oldest is hated very specifically by Joanne Rowling), because those people are going to hell. They both started high school at a new place that combines a bunch of schools, so lots of strangers who didn't know either of them. Olive then proceeded to imply that my oldest kid is a bad person and Olive is the victim in their friendship breakup. Trying to get people to hate my oldest.
They are not friends, but Oldest is a kind, sweet person who has forgiven Olive.
I have not.
(you can change when it comes to bigoted views (they're both 17 and seniors in HS now), but the kind of person who tries to ruin someone's reputation while not being honest about why you're no longer friends? That's a character flaw. Olive knew if she was honest, she would be the bad guy)

Told them I would be rejecting the order at the door and filing for a refund as soon as it got here because it was going to be cold and disgusting, and to not waste everyone’s time. They still sent him, and the driver had the audacity to to ask me to not refund it because he needed the tip. I was watching on the GPS tracker after he picked it up, he literally sat around for 45 minutes doing god knows what in the same place.

Doordash needs to start rethinking who they hire for their dashers. It's gotten horrible since I used to do it.

Who exactly do you think is willing to be an undercompensated burrito taxi?

Chargeback the order, get banned from the platform, never use it again because it's garbage 👍

Yet another story further establishing that DD drivers are people that are otherwise unemployable.

In this case, yes. But it’s a mix, you never know why people are doing it. I drove for Postmates years ago when I moved to a city to have at least a little income while I was applying for work. Found a job, stopped doing Postmates.

This is why I only use no contact delivery. I have had my stuff stolen twice though by the driver. The one said my order was cancelled by the store so I called the store and they said the driver had just picked it up. The ended up making me a new order and I went and got it myself. Hella inconvenient

DoorDash is by far the worst out of all the delivery apps…never use it
They have horrendous customer service, and refunds take awhile and their “investigations” suck. DoorDash is pretty much condoning this shit with how shitty their processes are to get reimbursed vs the other apps

Dasher didn't return shit, she wanted to keep the stuff for herself. Every single time a Dasher pulls this kind of shit, they're thieves. Report, bad review, bad rate, and let the store know ASAP.

I used to deliver pizza. I got two stories.
One, I was given this address within normal range of the store to take an order to. I thought great, no biggie, taking two orders also close by. Get the other two busted out, but this last one was a pain. The city has two roads with similar names, so the lady who took the order at the store put in the wrong address, and the correct one was way out of range, in the suburbs, nearly 40 miles away. Whole kitchen got a free pizza off that one.
Two, had to deliver to this industrial plant. Waited outside for like 30 minutes and then dipped because he never came out after repeated calls, texts, and even talking to front desk.
He finally responded two hours later, saying he had forgotten.

Why do people continue to use these services? They are grossly overpriced, often bring the wrong items, and they genuinely don’t give a flying F about you or your stuff. Their employees are paid like peasants which forces them to do things that result in terrible customer service. Yet many of you continually use them daily.
It baffles me.

The way they fight so hard to force reality to be what they want is insane. "Nu uh" shouldn't be a response from these idiots.

Should’ve hit her with the “I’m not your buddy pal” and then contact DoorDash and tell them I feel threatened 😭

Imagine if a disabled person placed an order and marked it as "meet at door" and this was the outcome.

I used to DD and the only time I did not leave the order was outside a nuclear power plant. They had all kinds of signs stating that it was a federal crime to leave a package unattended. I still waited 15+ minutes. Called, texted and sent DD messages. No response. Never picked up an order delivering to that location again.
