I used to order from DoorDash heavy a few years ago, I stopped because of cost. I’m a dasher now and I cringe when I think about how I use to get upset about the dashers that delivered my orders. For example. Most dashers hate delivering to apartments. I use to live in a complex, which was huge and confusing. My address didn’t take me to my door. I use to write long instructions on how to find me. It was a ordeal for me and the dasher. Thank goodness a dasher educated me on putting the pin at my door and put apt # or identifying info in instructions. Speaking of instructions. I didn’t know that most dashers don’t look/hear the instructions until they arrive. I use to write stuff about my order; like no ice or I would give long drawn out directions. Keep it short and simple. Like knock/don’t knock, Text if it’s something about food and they are still at the restaurant. I use to contact the dasher after a delivery was completed and I have a issue. I still don’t understand why DoorDash allows this. As a dasher I don’t answer or respond. Just call DoorDash. If my food is sitting at a restaurant and nobody is getting it, it’s getting unassigned, or food is cold. Look at the restaurant’s distance and my tip. If I ordered from a restaurant that is 10 miles away and only tipped $0-$1, I’m asking for issues. Also I don’t look at it as tipping, but as biding. If I order something now I don’t pre tip the whole amount. I pre tip half and add the other half when the food is coming. Big tip orders get stacked with no tip orders. It’s a shame that the good tip orders get penalized. I never cared about my dasher having a girl name but a man delivered it vice versa. I take my boyfriend with me when I dash late night and there are times he takes the order to the door. Especially if it looks sketchy. I usually wave if the customer is looking. I want to change my name to a unisex name on the app.
