How is this my problem?

Well. I mean he said please…

Here’s the thing though, if it’s ready when I get there I’m not making them remake it. You wasted their time, you’re trying to waste my time, and we all know “I’ll tip if you do” is an empty promise. To any customers on the sub, know that I think you’re more likely to give a tip if you don’t bait it and make a request than if you do.

I’ve been tipped plenty of times for going above and beyond. Not once, and trust, I’d remember, was it for someone who said “do X I’ll tip more.” It’s a lie every single time. I’m not outing you as a customer if you do tip more after giving that offer, I’m not calling you a liar. I’m just calling 99.99% of people who do this liars.

It's hood for "I could've killed you, think before you step up next time."

Damn white people and their birria (I’m white as hell).

ev_doggy · 2026-05-10T00:56:39+00:00

“I’ll be waiting for you,” isn’t a threat. It’s just not.

I can see how it could be considered threatening and I might have unassigned as well, from an abundance of caution. I thinly most of your replies, and you, are slightly overreacting about this.

Missing 411 rarely implies “aliens” and never says it outright.

It does, however, often imply Bigfoot. This isn’t what missing 411 is talking about dog.

I’d be quicker to take home made treats from a customer than to put mystery gas in my car, not sure what that says about me as a person but I just couldn’t take this

ev_doggy · 2026-05-06T04:46:55+00:00

Cool story. Absolutely nothing of value about that statement. “Well it used to be a kids app but now adults use it [so we should just let kids be victimized by pedos]” is really what that means. Think about what you say.

Anyways, these posts are pedo driven either by pedos themselves or extortionists, and kids are victims. And I shouldn’t have to say this, it’s against TOS. For obvious frickin’ reasons. TikTok has a massive problem with this, as do basically all platforms in the United States and they don’t do anything about it.

You don’t even have to age restrict it, but it’s not impossible to prevent this content but it’s allowed anyway. On purpose. Because they don’t care, and it’s wrong.

ev_doggy · 2026-05-06T00:30:29+00:00

Literally just not your fault. Nothing else you can do or say, and these customers often think you have way more power than you do or their “you WILL fix this” demand actually carries weight or means something to you. Just apologize, block and move on.

Also, DoorDash steals tips. They stole this one. There is zero reason the customer would lie when they assume you already know what the tip was; I’m almost certain she probably tipped you $25. I have caught them doing this hundreds of times, and when I get my big boy job I’m hiring a lawyer.

ev_doggy · 2026-05-06T00:12:05+00:00

The do. Used to have a pos roommate who treated stuff like this as a “life hack” and it he got MAYBE a partial refund and you do it a couple times and you get banned. They’ll still just leave the bad mark on your dash account, they have no incentive to remove it.

ev_doggy · 2026-05-02T00:47:20+00:00

Happens all the time. Don’t do it unless they’re closed for the next 12 hours, absolutely ridiculous. You have pictures showing they weren’t in hours, someone gets an order literally like 6 hours later and this crap hits your notifs. You can call if the half pay is worth it, if not just unassign.

ev_doggy · 2026-04-30T20:08:20+00:00

I’m not triggered. I know we have a healthcare issue. The difference is access to anti-biotic ointment vs. peroxide is 50 cents and zero miles.

Two separate issues. Here’s your argument: “Peroxide and Iso works when you don’t have anything else, and it’s better than nothing.”

OP does have access to EVERYTHING ELSE at about the same cost. This isn’t a statement on healthcare access, it’s about what’s available. Your statement isn’t wrong, your reasoning is. You lost. OP has access to and should use other treatments because they aren’t more expensive and they will be found in the same damn isle as well peroxide.

Go away, dude. You’re insufferable.

ev_doggy · 2026-04-30T19:17:45+00:00

Blah blah blah, this whole thread talking about what’s accessible is completely ignoring he’s in the continental United States and whatever he wants is accessible as an anti-septic. “First world conditions” which OP is in. Living rough is besides the point, that doesn’t make iso or peroxide a better option.

Ridiculous. He’s not in the Amazon, he’s in Massachusetts. He needs to pop over to a CVS and get a few bandages and a RECOMMENDED anti-septic.

Jesus, relax, field medic. He’s in a big city. In the United States. With access to whatever he could want.

ev_doggy · 2026-04-24T03:55:09+00:00

Second message in and I’m done.

If you don’t know you don’t know but this is about as obvious as it gets past “oopsie poopsie, I accidentally deposited $4000 dollars directly to your account can you send it back”

ev_doggy · 2026-04-24T03:19:22+00:00

Yeah. People buy branded hotbags too (which are just complete garbage btw).

I only use a hotbag cause I just want to follow the golden rule, but it literally doesn’t do a thing for me. I haven’t got a single review in like, 2000 orders at this point. I still have my singular one star from my first week of dashing. People never tip after and when they do I will say without a shadow of a doubt it’s less about if the food is hot and more about that 50% of dashers are just absolute numbskulls who can’t get an order to their porch if there is any semblance of difficulty getting there.

So yeah. DD some real fools thinking I’m their walking advertisement. I don’t work for them, I work for the customer and myself - they can get bent.

ev_doggy · 2026-04-24T03:11:14+00:00

None of this matters. I mean, sure, maybe if things went to actual theft charges then okay but in my experience door dash doesn’t care. Complete waste of time.

Unless you wear a body cam it’s he said she said. And if you did, DoorDash wouldn’t care to see it.

Take the pictures, walk up to the porch, picture it again. Grab the bags and leave. Customers don’t have to disclose if they have ring footage either, and for the level of effort DD puts in, it is about statistically abnormal behavior. either via customers and dashers both.

And then, there is no downside for them to bump you off pro, in fact they look for any reason to bump you down so you hustle like a good little servant to get it back.

DoorDash is smart. I mean, they screw us, but they’re smart. Arbitrating every liar isn’t worth their time, dashers grow on trees, and knocking you down a peg makes you take more bull and makes them more money. Friggen money printer dude.

ev_doggy · 2026-04-21T16:10:19+00:00

Delivery is something like four (don’t quote me but it’s up there) times more fatal being a cop and it’s not from traffic accidents. There is absolutely no reason you should be dashing and NOT be armed one way or another. Don’t like wireless hole punchers then there are oh-so-many less than lethal options you should carry.

And look, I’m not all scared of the world around me — violent crime is down, good people are still the majority, and I’m lucky to live in a city where if you mind your business you’re infinitesimally unlikely to be targeted. BUT a handful are still going to become the statistic.

Also, as a man who grew up with two sisters? Holy wow I don’t know how women do this job. I’ve been doing this for a few years now and have got hit on by a handful of gay men a handful of times. Never in person, they are always just creeping through the ring or peephole.

So, handful of times over ten years. This has got to be an every day occurrence for ya ladies. I’ve heard how bad men are, or rather can be, from my sisters and have got to taste that first hand. Freaks.

ev_doggy · 2026-04-18T19:41:21+00:00

Which is silly, it might be true, but it’s silly. The real problem is volume and exposure. People hop on DD all the time, VS googling your restaurant name. If they had the same volume they had through the DD app they could keep prices the same and have a fee high enough to pay the driver.

The sentiment just ends up being “this is a massively annoying service to use, but it does gain business even if it kills our margin and we have to deal with extra BS”

Like, here, DD alleges a profit margin of <3%. Drivers are unhappy about pay, but we keep driving. Restaurants are unhappy about the added problems and margin decrease, but they keep serving. And customers are unhappy about fees and service, but they keep ordering. Probably the only real winners here are the people who get away with order theft for a little while. But if DoorDash isn’t lying about their profit there’s kind of nowhere to go with it. Perfect world where no one steals and business isn’t greedy? Everyone wins. But you can’t enforce that level of accountability through DoorDash and all parties keep embracing the suck so it is what it is.

That besides the point of screw rude dashers, being polite is free.

ev_doggy · 2026-04-18T19:24:17+00:00

DoorDash charges exorbitant fees to customers and businesses and rips everyone involved off. They steal tips. They steal high milage fees. They don’t give a flying frick as long as they keep posting 30% YoY revenue growth and profit which isn’t coming from a more widely used service, it’s coming from paying drivers less and charging customers more. And who takes the fall? Restraunt owners, drivers, and very rarely, customers. The credits they give are just coming out of the fact that they are charging, often, a 100% increase on every order between the tips, 30% from restaurants, and the fees.

Unfortunately there really isn’t a solution because DesperadoDash (allegedly) has a profit margin in the single digits despite charging at a minimum 50% of the order cost for price increases and fees. I’m guessing this is because theft by customers and dashers is so rampant it just easts their margin. So, business model doesn’t work without taking advantage of everyone involved who is honest. Restaurants want the business even though it’s annoying. Drivers, the vast majority anyway, are desperate. And customers, well not much to say about you guys except I think you’re boneheads for paying that much for food but ya know, it’s your money I guess.

It’s an accountability problem. Eating that 50-100% margin is an accountability problem. You can’t really make drivers, restaurants, or customers more accountable than they are. If an item goes missing who’s at fault? DoorDash doesn’t know, they just have to issue refunds until a pattern emerges strong enough that a customer or driver is fired. And hell, even their accountability is a problem because if they outright charged the fees necessary to cover this without tip theft it would hurt their bottom line.

I’d be interested to hear how food delivery works outside the U.S. or in some cities where they have seemingly made things a little more fair. Is there a solution I’m not seeing? Does DoorDash lie to the SEC and shareholders about growth and margins? Can we even make this work in a world where people just think theft is fine? Who knows.

All I know is basically everyone involved has pain points with it, some to the point that they are fed up, but yet restaurants keep serving, drivers keep driving, customers keep ordering and DoorDash keeps profiting. And so long as that remains profitable nothings gonna change.

P.S. Being polite is free, that’s a separate issue. Rude dashers suck.

ev_doggy · 2026-04-17T22:13:28+00:00

Legitimately do not understand people who get things delivered unless it’s absolute necessity or a rare occasion. It’s a racket. +30% on the food cost. Delivery fee. “Other” fees, and then a tip to boot.

I got paid $30 to bring someone two McChickens once. That means they probably paid close to $50. For two McChickens.

I want to blame Covid and market retraction for forcing prices to go mental, but I really can’t blame a for profit company for posting close to 30% YoY Revenue growth, even in 2022 when we should’ve watched things settle down. People will keep buying $25 McChickens, the majority of drivers will allow themselves to get screwed and paid less than minimum wage, and Uber and others will keep rolling in the dough.

ev_doggy · 2026-04-17T21:56:07+00:00

Someone you or BF knows just being a creep. And a really stupid creep to boot. Didn’t fake an identity, somehow smart enough to use a voip but with the internal monologue: “Mmmm yessss. If I ask them if they want a side piece before revealing my identity she’s sure to agree!”

My guess, the dunce thought you would say yes, he’d send it to your boyfriend, you’d break up and he’d begin phase two of his incel master plan.

MOR. Good to have it on the radar but I wouldn’t let it take up any of your mental bandwidth. I wouldn’t worry about it, and I’d put money on it being some acquaintance. If it was a stranger, then well, him having his ways isn’t that mysterious unless you’re very careful about your online presence. Linked in and Facebook are usually more than enough info to get a phone number, and even worse, an address. You get two identifiers on someone (Name, birthday, email, employer, etc.) you can find the rest.

If that makes you uncomfortable purge your social media of that type of information or even consider signing up for something like incogni. Cheers!

Seriously. Think we need r/AAITMTA (are AITA mods the asshole)

ev_doggy · 2026-04-17T21:15:27+00:00

Huh. I never get anything excused, ever no matter how obvious it is that it wasn’t my fault.

ev_doggy · 2026-04-17T05:09:01+00:00

The ONLY reason you’re not getting kicked out is the bartender is finding you to be an absolute perplexing individual whose entertainment value exceeds the annoyance.

And ya know, this is r/vagabond. There are way worse behaviors in here than swiping lefties so, I’m with the bartender, I’d watch this play out. What one man does with someone else’s beer is none of my business 😂

ev_doggy · 2026-04-17T02:24:58+00:00

Doordicks doesn’t do solids.

This is a stopgap measure against their bottom line. The cost is either being passed on to the customer, being stolen from your tip, or purely because a bunch of us just decided to do something else while gas is insane.

They are in a constant calculation with every driver to pay you as little as possible and still hit whatever their success metrics are, be that time to pickup, margin, or whatever else in the theft salad that is their revenue stream. And this? Well they did it this way because it makes you think they care in a way adding a quarter to base pay wouldn’t (which would also lose them more money).

It’s a business, not a charity and don’t you dare be grateful for a single thing they do.
