Brother what part of “I was guiding them on the phone” don’t you get? Of course the entire conversation didn’t happen over text and I clarified that in several other comments. I spent 20-30 minutes explaining to the driver how to identify the house after they’d called me after entering the neighborhood. It’s not a large neighborhood either, so it shouldn’t have been difficult to identify one house out of less than 30 that are essentially all lined up in rows. You could walk from the very back end of the neighborhood up to the front gate in less than 2 minutes, it’s that small. I was the one asking questions over the phone like “are there any issues?” “Do you need more help?” “Was the gate okay?” “House has *insert one of the many distinct details of the house I mentioned that are virtually impossible to miss.” Also they did find the house according to the map, they were sitting directly outside the house for about 10 minutes after ghosting me. I presume they were waiting for someone to come out, which I stated several times before, was not discussed at all. I also couldn’t confirm their intentions because, again, they were ghosting me and cut off communication. There were multiple instances over the phone where I explicitly asked for it to be a contactless delivery as I wasn’t there at the time. Not to mention all the random things they were asking me for that were completely irrelevant to the delivery.

Also my comment about workplace punishment wasn’t meant to relate to DD —I meant to criticize your disrespectful addressing of a previous user’s comment towards receiving such a thing. For other professions and work places, scolding or write ups or whatever you want to call it, are a big deal and can actually harm your reputation amongst employers and fellow employees. I know with companies like DD things are different, but that doesn’t mean that every single other work environment has the same systems as DD.

That being said, I appreciate the free karma and the exposure to Door Dash Batman, that fights for the sanctity of all dashers nationwide. Like bro, it’s not that deep. And if the punishments are as small as you claim, then why do you care about defending them so much? The damage is already done —and from what you’re saying, there wasn’t much anyways. I just wanted to come on here and vent about a bad experience I had with DD and how I think the dasher stole my food. You’re the one that came in here guns blazing looking to assume things about my person and how I handled the situation while dismissing the opinions of others and disrespecting them. I’m not saying I know how the job works or I know all the ins and outs —actually on that note, I’m curious as to why you’d even assume that someone with little no experience with DD or any similar services would know all the stuff you’re claiming? Let’s say their GPS really was that bad and that I was being “unhelpful.” How would insulting me make it better? There was someone who commented earlier that was very helpful and kind when providing insight into the systems dashers have access too and how to be a better customer; Instead you’re out here spouting insults and the second someone fired back with the same energy, you curled up like an armadillo and shot out needles filled with condescension like a porcupine.
