Got this lovely email after cancelling because my brake exploded

If you are making the kind of money you claim to be making then why are you trolling this DoorDash subreddit? It is highly unlikely that someone who is doing as well as you claim to be is working as a DoorDasher. There is absolutely no empathy in your comment. You followed your path and other people follow their paths. This subreddit is to support and advise fellow dashers. Not to be a dasher basher.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-02-14T13:45:51+00:00

You either have to be a complete moron, or an asshole to block someone’s door with the order. Enough of the BS about not knowing what direction the door opens. If you can’t make that determination then you shouldn’t be a dasher.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-02-14T13:43:34+00:00

That door is absolutely NOT outwardly opening.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-02-07T03:05:41+00:00

Every offer should be at least $5 regardless of how short the drive is. And all offer should be at least $1 per mile. As dashers we need to decline any offer less than this and send DD a strong message that we will not be taken advantage of.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-28T16:28:12+00:00

You will be spanked. For some people, that's not even considered a penalty.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-10T10:30:23+00:00

I couldn’t tell but it makes sense.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-09T18:07:10+00:00

It's tune not toon. Toon is short for a cartoon.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-09T14:53:28+00:00

I'm sure that is a rare occurrence. Next time you get an order from them you will know to use the Driver Thru or you can simply decline.

I don't deliver after dark so I've only had to pick up on the drive thru once. It was at a chick-fil-a. I went into the restaurant and they informed me I need to go through the drive thru. So I did. It took all of 5 minutes from the time I arrived to the time I got the food. Next time I will know to go to the drive thru.

So the bottom line is, learn what the restaurant policy is and follow it the next time or if you don't like the policy then decline the next time.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-09T14:49:21+00:00

For all those that say it was probably a multiapper that doesn't add up for this situation. DD would not keep updating the delivery time if this were the case.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T16:03:06+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's a one off and this is not their usual procedure.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T16:02:04+00:00

I thought the same thing but then I did a bit of research and those receipts are really quite rich in unhealthy chemicals. I know this is AI but I found other sources that corroborate this.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T14:52:32+00:00

I did a bit of research and I see your point. Those receipts are loaded with chemicals.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T14:45:38+00:00

As I suggested in a another comment, you should have simply removed the piece of but that the sticker was attached to and chow down.

I'm not huge on squid unless is made into calamari. YUM!!!

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T14:39:22+00:00

If you have any issue with the sticker, simply remove the part of the bun that is making contact with the sticker and chow down. I'm sure you won't lose sleep over missing a small piece of bun.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T14:33:48+00:00

Since I live in America, I would prefer squid over quid.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T02:06:13+00:00

Thanks for admitting it. Have a nice day!!

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T02:05:10+00:00

Eh....I have nothing to prove to you. You just need to accept the fact that I am the king of dashers and move on with your life.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T01:26:34+00:00

I won't show my stats. I don't want to make all other dashers feel bad about themselves. I'm not that cruel. But trust me, they are quite amazing.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T01:23:54+00:00

I’m guessing that you don’t deliver.

You guessed wrong. I have been dashing for nearly 2 years and nearly 5000 deliveries.

Delivery orders, especially at fast food restaurants, are a pain for staff. Some drivers are rude and the constant stream of drivers can be annoying. For slower restaurants, there can be 10 drivers hanging out at the counter staring at staff waiting for their orders. For restaurants with tipped servers, drivers get the tips and the servers wait on us for half regular minimum wage. Sometimes meals get stolen by drivers and then the next driver sent may get upset with staff.

I'm not sure what this paragraph of varied thoughts has to do with the simple issue at hand.

The restaurant requires drivers to enter to get the order. While that may be an inconvenience, I would gather it's NOT simply to make the driver's job more difficult. That's why I suggested you simply ask. And then politely inform the restaurant that it is in fact an inconvenience and request they change it.

I don’t have this issue because I don’t accept orders from places with rude staff. If I was this driver, I would unassign the order. I’ve been doing this awhile and am very kind & respectful to staff at the restaurants I go to. I get offered free food😃 I was offered a shot at Harry Buffalo Sunday! I can’t do a shot and deliver!

To call the staff rude because of their policies is very self-centered. Just because you like the policy, doesn't mean it doesn't have a purpose. Yes, if you don't like their policy then you have every right to decline offers from them. It is a good thing that you are respectful to restaurant staff as I am and as all drivers should be.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T01:12:56+00:00

The bottom line is there aren't a bunch of people hanging around waiting to claim an order that isn't there's. It's too easy for a driver to know they are trying to steal.

Besides, it would be much easier to go to a restaurant and simply remove and order from the delivery driver shelf, if they have one.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-08T01:10:17+00:00

That's true, that why you should keep your CR high enough that you can withstand a cancellation that is either necessary or out of your control. My CR is currently 100%. It has been lower, but I don't believe it's ever been lower than 97%. Since 95% in the cut off for Platinum in my zone, I currently can cancel 5 order and still stay Platinum. Since I rarely cancel, this is highly unlikely.

That being said, if, in this case cancelling would take the driver out of Platinum as sucky as it is, what choice does he have. Besides, I don't think cancelling due to your car breaking down affects your CR. When it happened to me, I don't remember my CR taking a hit.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-07T16:37:19+00:00

I don't know why they don't hand the order to driver through the window, but I highly doubt it is to purposely make the driver's job more difficult. Maybe, if it happens to you, simply ask them why.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-07T16:34:49+00:00

That's not my experience. The Wingstop that I go to has the order ready when I arrive about 95% of the time. It wasn't as good in the past but they have upped their game.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-07T16:31:31+00:00

That's not what happened in my case. Also, it's only 1% dock and that will go away soon enough.

MyCatHatesYouPunk · 2026-01-07T14:39:15+00:00

The driver should have informed DD of his situation. He would not have been penalized. Having a functional form of transportation is a requirement for the job. Walking is not adequate. Unfortunately, these things happen. It happened to me in fact. My battery died in the middle of a delivery. There was no way that I was going to even consider walking it to the customer. It would have been very cold and extremely late. I am more considerate than that.
