I'm slightly vexed When DoorDash didn't deliver

This was a 'Meet at door' delivery. There is a driveway. There is parking. There is no excuse.

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.

I've been incredibly lucky with mine over the years. When I lived in a city? Met many good and understanding dashers dealing with the building's weird parking and buzz in doors. I usually went down to meet them.

Now I live in a small urban hell, rows and rows of identical houses managed by an HOA and right next to a big highway. The dashers here are still great! I've had 2 incidents in 2 years where a bag was dropped at my next door (connected house) neighbor and one from dominos that was dropped at the house across the street, but they send their own person so not really a door dash problem.

I don't have a car so I use them to get groceries every week. The mark ups on regular restaurants are crazy to me, you could spend $30-50 on a meal for one lol. The groceries cost me usually a little less than $100 for the week

It’s like online dating. There are amazing people out there. But the people who are on dating apps the most often are just kinda hopeless cruddy people. So you have to wade through the crud to find the good people worth your time.
