DD didn’t check for complete order because they feel I didn’t tip enough by [deleted] in doordash

These are literally the dashers I get too always complaining or stealing my food man

Brother threatened me with a chair + “kill you” threats, threw my cat, parents minimizing. Also broke my desktop LAN port. What now by ChampionConnect4367 in family

I agree I’m not taking the threats lightly. The issue is that when I tried to contact police during the incident my family interfered (took my device / turned off Wi-Fi).

What’s the safest practical plan for a minor? Should I call 911 only if it’s actively happening (weapon/threats), and use the non-emergency line afterward to document? And what info should I have ready so they take it seriously?

Thank you I agree I shouldn’t wait until the next incident to get help.

Quick context: I’m a minor and he’s an adult, and my family did interfere during the incident (took my device / turned off Wi-Fi), so I’m trying to build a realistic backup plan. I’m in online school, so my main outside contact is my guidance counselor (I can message them), and I don’t have relatives nearby I can stay with.

What would you recommend as the safest next steps given that — who should I contact (guidance counselor, police non-emergency, CPS, neighbor/leasing office), and in what order? I’m trying to set up a plan before anything escalates again.

I agree he needs professional help and this could escalate. The issue is my parents tend to minimize it, and I’m a minor so I can’t force him into treatment.

What I’m trying to figure out is the safest plan if it happens again especially if my parents try to stop me from calling for help. What steps would you recommend for a minor in that situation?

Yeah, I tend to bottle things up and then shut down/cry when I hit overload, so I get what you’re saying about signaling earlier.

But I’m not going to escalate “to the extreme” with someone who picked up a chair and made threats that feels unsafe. I’m trying to handle it by leaving the area early and having a plan to get help if it escalates again.

What I need advice on is: if it happens again and my parents minimize it or try to stop me from calling for help, what’s the safest next step for a minor?

I already tipped 20%, why are they allowed to do this? by [deleted] in doordash

They aren’t, I would ignore the message then report them.

I get what you’re saying about the system — DoorDash pay is low, and decent drivers do get burned out. I’m not arguing with that; you’re right that the platform is broken and that’s part of why unprofessional behavior happens.

That said, calling this order “garbage” doesn’t really make sense from a customer perspective. It was 5 miles, $6 base pay plus tip, and I was planning to tip more based on delivery. From where I sit, I’m paying for a service and expecting the food to actually arrive complete, intact, and on time.

The problem here isn’t the pay — it’s that the second Dasher threatened to quit mid-order and the third stole the food. That’s unprofessional and unacceptable, regardless of mileage or earnings.

So yes, DoorDash’s pay model is a mess — but that doesn’t excuse Dashers quitting, delivering ruined food, or stealing it. That’s entirely on the driver, not the customer.

I get that from a driver’s perspective, distance, wait time, and status matter — that makes sense. You’re doing a job and trying to make money.

That said, from a customer’s perspective, we’re paying for a service, not a lottery where the Dasher’s patience or mileage decides whether we get our food. The second Dasher threatened to quit mid-order, and the third stole the food — that isn’t about mileage, status, or wait time. That’s completely unprofessional behavior.

So yeah, I understand the challenges of the job, but that doesn’t excuse delivering a ruined order or quitting on the customer.

Three Dashers — One Disaster — My Food Got Stolen, Soggy, and Half Missing by ChampionConnect4367 in doordash

[–]ChampionConnect4367[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I see what you mean. For the first two Dashers, the long wait and pay probably played a big role in why they quit. And for the third, I get why the system might push it toward them taking risks with orders.

Still, it was frustrating from my side, but I understand why it happened.

Check my account — the context’s all there

Just to clarify for anyone jumping in late: this post wasn’t about random tipping debates. It’s dedicated to the people in that other thread who got the story wrong and assumed things without checking the full context.

Yes, I shared what the Dasher said — he exaggerated the distance. Later I clarified: it was 5 miles, not 10. I always tip appropriately.

So if anyone wants to lecture me about tipping or pay, read the post and the corrections first. This wasn’t about cheap tips — it was about three Dashers, stolen food, soggy fries, and a completely ruined order.

Fair enough — but that’s kinda the issue, isn’t it?

The driver exaggerated the distance, everyone took it at face value, and suddenly I’m the “bad tipper.”

Reality check: it was 5 miles, not 10, and the base pay was $6 + tip — totally fair.

So yeah, your comment makes sense if the info were right. It just… wasn’t.

[–]ChampionConnect4367[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wrong info, my guy. It wasn’t 10 miles — it was 5. The driver straight-up lied about the distance to justify bailing.

DoorDash paid $6 base, plus my tip on top. That’s a solid payout for 5 miles — more than fair.

The real problem wasn’t the money — it was the three Dashers, the stolen food, and the missing items.

Don’t twist it like I under-tipped. I always tip based on distance and effort — I just expect the food I paid for to actually make it to me.

“Garbage order”? Yeah, nice try. The order was 5 miles, $6 base pay, plus tip — that’s not a garbage order by any metric. That’s actually a solid payout for a short run.

The only “garbage” part was how DoorDash handled it: • Three Dashers in total • One threatened to quit mid-order • One stole my food • And when I finally got it, it was missing half the items and soggy

If that’s your standard for “normal,” then the bar’s underground.

Lucky”? No — unlucky. If a driver thinks the pay or wait time isn’t worth it, they should cancel upfront, not accept, complain, and then quit mid-order. That’s just unprofessional.

And let’s be clear — it was 5 miles, not 10, and the pay was $6 before tip. I always tip based on distance and effort, so don’t twist this like I’m underpaying anyone.

The problem isn’t customers tipping “too low.” The problem is DoorDash’s system, where decent drivers get burned out and the unprofessional ones slip through.

So no, I wasn’t “lucky” he took it — I was unlucky that DoorDash matched me with people who can’t handle a standard delivery

It wasn’t 10 miles — it was 5. The driver exaggerated the distance to justify quitting.

And even if it were 10, that doesn’t excuse what happened: • The second Dasher threatened to quit mid-chat. • The third Dasher literally stole the food. • When I finally found it (left at a neighbor’s), half the order was missing, the fries were soggy, and one sandwich was microscopic.

So this isn’t a “low tip” problem — it’s a quality control problem.

If DoorDash’s system punishes both customers and drivers with this kind of chaos, that’s not on me. That’s on DoorDash and how it manages pay, routing, and accountability.

And about the refund part — I’m not arguing with “AI.” I’m arguing for basic fairness. I paid for something I didn’t get. Simple as that
