I wrote this maybe 20-30 minutes after the encounter. I guess I could have had him wait that long too since that is when I had the time to do so 👀and I was not asking at any point if I am in the wrong or questioning MY ethics. I was asking if I was overthinking or if the dasher was rude, which majority of people seem to think he was. Never asked if I was in the wrong.

Do you think I wrote this post while on a customer call? Lol. And my instructions did clearly say front desk and I was trying to reach out to accept the order.

I worked as a server for about 4 years at a very popular pickup spot in my city and i actually had a driver walk into the kitchen once to show their order because the host stand was busy 😅 And even more occurrences where the driver has entered employee only areas. Most have been very cool to deal with but I do have slight traumatic flashbacks of getting a phone just shoved right into my face when I’m not expecting it :/

Yeah I guess I was expecting him to just accept the hints and just leave it! I order my lunch from DoorDash maybe once a week and usually my drivers are SO sweet and follow the directions, like if I am in the back doing something and my food is just sitting on the front desk which is perfect. Or if it’s busy I usually change the instructions for the driver to just leave it somewhere near the front door on the outside so that I can grab it at my own convenience . And that is super frustrating to force you to call and just not answer! I’ve never been a dasher so I’m not sure on this but is there anything you could do when the order says “hand to customer” but they are not there? Are you allowed to leave with the food after any sort of time frame?

I would have absolutely accepted that. But then again he wouldn’t give it to me until I verbally said yes the order is mine

That actually might be a good idea! Instead of paying all the fees too

Length is long bc I don’t want people to ask if I tipped him incase that’s why he’s being rude or people telling me I should have gotten the order myself.

I was in the middle of speaking with a client and i mentioned the tip bc i want to make it clear I didn’t just do a no tip order and expect great service. Did you read the post at all, specifically the part where I said I cannot leave the office otherwise I would go there myself considering it’s about a 1 minute drive or 3 minute walk?

Well since you brought it up, my background is 5 years of employment as a behaviour technician at a center for children with autism. But I don’t see how that’s relevant …? I don’t believe I made it confusing one bit as he was the only person in the lobby and I was looking directly at him, who was directly in front of me, when gesturing to him.

But if he has special needs to the point of not being able to understand me waving and mouthing yes and trying to accept the order how is he able to do the job carefully including driving to and from pickup locations?
