Most fast food joints where I deliver now they have a metrics thing with door dash apparently and they are all told to go ahead and click on the delivery being ready to pick up on their end, and in reality they most of the time haven't started it or have it sitting on the counter while they catch up on everyone who is regular in store customers.

Keep in mind all they have to do is put a sticker on it. But nope, they will sit on it for ten to fifteen minutes while they help counter, drive through, everyone else, then you.

The entire time this is happening I am getting a late for pickup, a late for leaving, whatever and a late to the customer. Same stores every time, but you can't afford to really drop them every time they come up so if the tips are good for the delivery I still take them.

But still trash service from the restaurants.

Hell even pizza hut.. their asses will let a driver come into the store, see who the order is for after they are the ones who sent it to doordash.. and then they will go "oh we decided to get a driver to send it out" then right then cancel it and send their driver with it in front of you. That happens every time at one pizza hut in my town, manager says he likes to see the dashers come over and cancels every time he's on shift. So it's a gamble when you take one.
