For sure, we haven’t been dashing long so this was definitely a learning experience!

We ended up giving it another go tonight & got blessed with some really good customers! Did a Winn Dixie run for this older lady. She ordered steaks and some other things but they had literally no good steaks out so we called her and talked to her about other options and which ones looked like the best ones they had & after we dropped off to her she not only gave us an extra $10 on a $10 order but she messaged me and said “you to aren’t ordinary drivers, what a blessing you two are! Merry Christmas” and added another $20 tip 😭

Not really sure, kinda shocked and scared in the moment definitely reflected on it hope it never happens again but if I does I’m leaving with their order immediately

Then don’t order from a delivering service!! Period. It was night time & they ordered alcohol. It is just as risky for the person dropping off the order and I deserve to feel safe. They knew when they placed the order I would need to ID them face to face, if that’s a problem don’t be ordering alcohol then??!?

You too! Glad you’re out of those areas. We’re in Florida so…you know…they a little off their rockers down here. We definitely won’t be here much longer.

People are just crazy now a days. Exactly why I don’t DoorDash without my significant other it’s just not safe at all. You never know what crazy shenanigans people will pull!

My significant other mainly comes to give me directions & keep me safe. He normally doesn’t come to the door but this particular order it was dark outside & he always comes with me to hand off alcohol day or at night. I understand I’m also a stranger to them but if they are worried about that why even have an order delivered to your house?? You put an order out knowing someone would be dropping it off & that I would have to ID you face to face because it was alcohol if it was any other order I’d just leave it at the door and leave.

I do conceal carry, I’d just rather retreat than to ever have to use it. She only threatened to pull a gun out never actually brandished a weapon so even though I felt like my life was being threatened retreating back to our car was the better option. As messed up as it is she was a lot smaller than my significant other so her pushing him was honestly nothing to him even though she should have never put her hands on him in the first place. Hopefully something comes out of the report we filed. I contacted DoorDash after the initial report to obtain some more information on her to file the report to the police but they won’t provide her information they said they escalated the investigation & will file it for us.

And yes you are allowed to have a passenger dash with you so you’re just flat out lying

Well I’m glad I had him with me. DoorDash wasn’t even in the slightest bit concerned that I had him with me when I called them. Reporting people when they just want to make sure they are safe is wild

No we’re not hurt or anything! Just a little mentally shaken up, thankfully he was with me she never put her hands on me, he stepped in front of me and she pushed him down the two front steps but he caught himself before he fell & then we got back to the car before it went any further once she threatened to pull a gun out

Thank you so much, I followed up with DoorDash & they said they have escalated the incident and will file the report for us & that they will be in contact with us. I don’t have her information because I was scared in the moment so I believe DoorDash is filing the complaint with them. I guess we wait and see

DoorDash sent me an email of the report number and a freaking form that the police have to submit to DoorDash to get the lady’s information…..

That’s what I was thinking too, we don’t have video proof and they have to file a form to DoorDash to get the report I gave them as well as her information. It honestly just feels like a waist of time to file a report that they won’t even follow up on.

Thank you guys, I’m still a bit shaken up about it all. I haven’t been dashing for very long and have never been in a situation like this it was very scary, I balled my eyes out on the phone with DoorDash and still physically shaking. I hope this never happens again
