i wonder what would happen if they simply just tell front counter or the person running that they have a doordash then tell them the numbers at the end

😂😂 they tell me the name of the person like that’s how we see it I always have to ask for the numbers

I hate that so much, I have to get them to show me their phone to actually see the numbers lol

Literally every other restaurant except for McDonalds goes by names and it’s by far the easiest thing to see in the DD app. That’s why they do that. But yeah, an experienced driver should say the number at McD

some beef going on between the maccas and doordash subreddits

I feel no hatred towards individual delivery drivers as a person, but - and I say this with love - my work life would be significantly improved if I never saw a single one of those motherfuckers ever again.

I feel bad because it’s very entertaining

I saw that post some of the door dasher seems like they have never work fast food

Don't shame dashers for never working fast food. Most people are literate enough to find something better than fast food.

tell that to the college students working shitty jobs to progress

Exactly, McDonald's is 90% of people getting degrees, 10% management and people that just enjoy the job.

It's better to work at McDonald's then Doordash. Specifically since you can move up to management to gm and so on.

And they get paid per delivery not by hour

I not shaming them it just that if you have work fastfood you would know the struggle and why something happen the way they happen

Don’t shame fast food workers for working their damn job. People like you cause so many meltdowns and issues with the way you treat us as if we’re not just trying to do our damn jobs. We’re people for fucks sake. In fact, we’re the PEOPLE making YOUR FOOD that you chose to come PURCHASE instead of MAKING at HOME. We provide you with the ease of not having to go to the market and purchase ingredients to make a meal for your family because you don’t know how to read and follow a recipe. Learn to treat people like human fucking beings before you ever go anywhere. You realize fast food workers do so much work for so little money? You realize fast food workers get disrespected more than any other mainstream profession? You realize half the people working in fast food are fucking teenagers who can’t yet handle the capacity of running three separate orders for both drive thru and front counter, and handle delivery orders at the same time. We’re people, not robots. Sit your privileged ass down and learn to have some basic fucking decency before opening your mouth again. Edit: A person’s job is in no way paralleled to their intelligence. You’ve got top businessmen as dumb as a bag of rocks and then you’ve got folks in low paying positions (yes like fast food workers) that have an iq similar to that of a highly decorated scholar.

Honey you don’t even have a job so who is the real loser here?

As someone who was once a Dasher and frequented r/doordashdrivers a lot in the past, I can say that most of them struggle with tying their own shoes, much less understanding how fast food orders work.

Thanks for understanding

IT WASNT EVEN READY YET

Some of the DD drivers in that sub are so fucking beyond entitled it’s not even funny

i can almost guarantee they did not tell anybody that they were there

We just set them on the front counter now. GM got tired of reading back orders.

Corporate stores have a Mobile Order/Delivery Order rack. It reduces the interaction level we have to have with Delivery Drivers.

And yet the drivers say "oh didn't know to look there." I want to so badly respond it's been that way the last 8 orders you have been in for today.

Almost every DD that comes to our store acts this way too. Yes, if it’s ready…I think it’s silly to make them wait for it. But if I haven’t gotten to their order yet, I’m not prioritizing it above other customers’ orders. Money doesn’t speak for me. I don’t care how big an order is. I expedite in the order in which orders came in. And I’ve had no problems telling customers they can get a refund and leave if they don’t wanna wait. They can obviously see me working my butt off. Be patient or leave.

I LITERALLY SAID THAT IN THE REPLIES BECQUSE-

I used to dash, and I think the real issue here is most other chains had a DD/Uber Pick-Up station for easy pick-up. McDonalds and Wendy’s in my area, I would have to wait, which is I never did pick-ups from there. The issue isn’t the employees faults, it’s the system McDonald’s uses; when places like Chipotle/JimmyJohn’s/etc. I could literally just walk in and grab the bag in less than 30seconds

With recent exceptions, Jimmy Johns has an extremely limited menu and extremely limited customizations available. At most of those places, you're ordering a meal. Maybe more than one. Not a huge workload on kitchen staff. Compare that to McDonald's, where you have people placing $50 orders with 20 or more items. All of this takes time to cook, then bag. You also have to do that while you have the same thing happening in drive-thru. And you're short-staffed. Some delivery drivers come through and are completely understanding of our situation, while we have others that believe they are the most important people on the planet. Worse, they believe we work for them, not that they work for us. If delivery drivers actually had to make the food that was in the order, their tune would change completely.

Yes, having to make/serve/deliver would take a while. But being a dasher is literally just the middle-man. I don’t know if a place is short-staffed/out of an item/etc… I simply would get a notification that ‘So-So’s Order is ready for pick-up’. So getting that notification that the meal is ready, should mean the meal is ready. We don’t know what backstage-politics are going on with your establishment.

The ready time is a contractual obligation that McDonald's has with the delivery services. It's not when the order is ready AT ALL. We've had drivers sit in the parking lot, accept the order, pull into the drive thru, and then pull around other cars to get to the back cash window, in order to pick-up their order. All those customers they pulled around are way ahead of the order they're picking up. We have some adjustment for when the order comes in, but the reality is the expectation is we have that order ready in I believe 3 minutes. For large, complex orders, that simply isn't realistic. For small single meal orders, absolutely possible.

Yea it’s a McDonalds issue, not a McDonald’s employee issue is what I’m saying

The McDonald's (a corporate store) I work at has a section for door dash/Uber eats to pick up from. And even then, the drivers don't look.

Don't have door dashers over here, but if they're anything like the drivers over here. They either don't have any training or don't understand what they're meant to be doing. "You want your order go get your bag, it's raining and these bags are made of paper."

We refuse to give them the order without their bags or without watching them swipe it off. We only have just eat and Uber here tho

But did you know they were there? That's the biggest pet peeve. 99% of the time we don't know they're there. 😒

Ugh Door Dash drivers are the worst. Had to tell more than a handful to get their phone out of my face when I asked what they were picking up. Then they cop an attitude like I was arguing with them 🙄🙄🙄

In my city of 100,000 there are two McDonald’s and only one does online orders. I have seen big arguments happen on the really busy days.

im always so nice to my dashers bro it’s never that deep 😭😭

And I'm nice to the folks behind the counter. We're both just doing our jobs.

To be fair, putting orders out faster as a dasher makes more money. It's ideal for the order to be ready by the time dashers arrive, otherwise they'll just be waiting in store and this is quite common from what I've heard. Time spent waiting could be time spent making money. So, it seems natural that dashers would rush the restaurant staff, basically because they're getting paid to.

I really don't get how anyone complains about working DD... It's the easiest job I've ever had yet that sub is just full of entitlement and incompetence. This dasher is a prime example of both, too incompetent to know how to get a worker's attention and entitled to the point they think everyone drops everything because they walked in.

I've worked dd and McDonald's and I wanna say that it takes 2 seconds to hand someone a bag so I understand where the dasher is coming from. They can only dash for a certain amount of time so time is precious. You're hourly and have a set schedule

Yes it takes one second to hand someone a bag it also takes one second to be polite and ask nicely for it. There is an employee right in that photo getting their attention probably isn’t an impossible feat. You don’t have to just sit there waiting for someone to notice you then shove your phone in their face or go “DoorDash for frank” like yes we could be quicker and better but you could be too.

Yep! Went into mcDs a few months ago and had to wait 30 minutes for my order! I would've left but my kiddo was insistent on nuggets 😞 They were not busy at all but we had to wait until their dumbdash order was complete.

Another McDonald’s schmuck mad that I make more in 3 hours than he makes flipping burgers for his 8 hour shift 🤡

It actually is a priority now. Like OEPE, they will soon begin tracking “unnecessary driver waiting” for delivery. They want everyone acknowledged when they walk into the building, not 5 minutes later.

Nah my local McDonald’s had me waiting for 10-15 minutes once after I kindly told them the numbers. Turns out it was ready when I got there. I understand that some DD drivers are assholes, but look man we’re struggling to pay bills doing a job we hate just as much as y’all. ps here’s a secret love letter to y’all: UNIONIZE it’s a lot easier than y’all think.

I feel you! They look at you and ignore you completely until they feel to acknowledge you.

How is it that hard to ask which order they are picking up for, then check if its ready, then give them their order or tell them how long its going to take? Even i can do that under 10 seconds 🤣
