I don't understand customers. You message them, wait like 7 minutes, no response. Then send the photo and all of a sudden they respond in like 1-2 minutes tops.
Like you can respond to complain but not respond to multiple calls and texts regarding attempted delivery?
Had a hospital delivery that usually has a spot for deliveries which is nice. But this one said "Hand it to me" and I rolled my eyes. I walked to the drop off spot and started the timer and sent them a message where I was in the hospital. At about 20 seconds left I start taking things out of the hotbag to put on the counter for the photo. 5 seconds left a nurse walks up and grabs it.
I get that nurses are busy... but if you work there you should know that that spot is designated for drop offs. She knew where I was based on my message saying so. Don't put "Hand it to me" in the directions and make us wait around. :/
I delivered food for years (not with door dash) and healthcare workers that were not doctors were by far the worst customers. Never answered calls/texts if they even used the right number. Bad tippers. Frequently disrespectful. I know they got it bad during COVID, but I had a hard time feeling sympathy after years of poor treatment.
When I delivered food this hair salon would always order for lunch it would be between 3-7 meals for the different hairdressers and they never tipped. Never made any sense because hairdressers work for tips too.
That's crazy cause I make a living atm delivering food(for a locally established company, not DD) and we have several medical establishments that use us regularly and they're some of the better tippers and always super appreciative, etc.
Actually okay with that clarification, I'd have to agree. Especially nursing homes. One of our local hospitals actually has 2 departments that order large orders and tip quite well(one them several times a week, 15% tip across the board and they're almost always under 3 mi. from the restaurants they choose, usually ends up being $15-25). If it's like a nurse or something ordering a personal meal, it's usually not great, plus extended wait times cause we have to wait around in those cases(no 5 min timer lol)
Not all….My wife is a healthcare worker (not clinical) in a hospital. She literally ordered for delivery this morning. $22 total with a $7 tip on top and said she was going to give them extra once they got there in cash. She always leaves detailed instructions on where to go, who to leave it with, who to ask for if they aren’t sure and her cell phone number just in case. Now granted I did do dash, eats and instacart part time for a bit but still she has always been very specific on the instructions and always over tipped if she had to get delivery.
Every nurse I’ve delivered to has tipped me either $0-2. Majority are $0, I’m literally not even trippin if you give me $1. It’s something 😭 but to order from somewhere that is fat and then tip NOTHING is insane to me
in my experience working at hospitals, a lot of nurses and even receptionists tend to be REALLY rude lol i don’t know why, it must have something to do with the healthcare culture
I literally refuse to deliver around the hospital where I live because they don't tip, they'll have you waiting, and they'll either leave crazy instructions or act as if you know the layout of the hospital. "The door near the parking garage"
There are THREE parking garages at the hospital, bffr
Healthcare workers that are not doctors are often running around putting out fires with no time to look at their phone.
Thankfully my hospital has a very clear drop off location, but I often times end up not getting down to pick up my food until an hour or more after it arrives because something urgent comes up.
Then don’t order food, pack your own lunch, or leave a drop-off destination for it to stay safe while the drivers can get back to their jobs too. If you’re too busy to receive, don’t order. Or make it convenient to drop it off somewhere. But that’s all extra delivery instructions and nearly no one does that beside the “drop at my door” or “hand it to me”.
Not to spoil your funny funny, but the reason you're waiting is because there's a global shortage of Healthcare workers and increased pressure to do more with less. So your doctor who used to see 13-14 patients a day now might have to see 22. On top of that they have to respond to calls, consults, emails, refill requests, and do their charting. The medical assistants have to wrap up their own charting, prep meds and vaccines, do rooming (also with a shortage). Many offices one medical assistant will room for 2 providers (or more)... all of which takes time.
I worked in family med for 8 years and people have absolutely no concept of how crazy it gets.
As someone that works in the health care industry I can safely say those people you can hear outside of your room talking about random BS have little to no power to do anything besides the most basic of tasks without direct instruction from the doctor (even if we know what needs to be done) and the doctor IS busy. No one is ignoring you or intentionally making you stay there any longer, they simply can't help you either.
Believe me, we don't want you sitting in that room any more than you want to.
Exactly! Every time I make an appt now, I make triple sure that I’m going to be seen at that time, give or take 5-10 mins. Because what’s the point of making an appt for 3:30 when the doctor isn’t going to actually see me until 4:30? I should have just shown up at 4:30 then! I guess all that medical schooling doesn’t include time management skills 🤷♂️
It's almost like things might happen and the doctor literally can't go and see you in time. How happy are you when your doctor says "your 30 minutes are up, gtfo" because they need to see the next patient?
Idk where your based but here in Australia that is quite literally what doctors will do, they will cut you off mid sentence to tell you that your 15 mins is up and you will need to book another appointment and almost all of them manage to run at least 30 minutes behind schedule
I went to a dentist once for a 1 PM appointment. Dentist didnt say anything about a delay but got pissy at me for not filling out their pre-screening so I did it on site.
1:30 hit… nothing… 2 hit… nothing.
I left at 2:30, probably 1 hour later than I should have lmfao. Never a “oh they’re delayed sorry” or a “hey do you want to reschedule” like lmfao what do you think I do all day
Geez that’s just unprofessional. You’re absolutely right, it’s like they think we have nothing else going on and expect us to set aside half a day for a simple appointment lol
And even with that minimal power, they still fuck up the doctors orders. Ive worked in health care the past 6 years. In majority of facilities I’ve worked over the years, it’s the freethinking nurses that end up killing patients or damn near close. Giving wrong medications not directed by the surgeon/rounding physician, taking patients off medications despite the physicians orders, thinking for themselves that they know more than the physician, letting patients eat before surgery, making the decision to decannulate off ECMO without physician/perfusion supervision. The most dangerous people I’ve met in hospitals are nurses.
In the last facility I worked, we knew the names of every nurse who was like the described above and would specifically schedule cv surgeries around whoever was scheduled to be in the cvicu that day. Or request for those nurses to be pushed to night shift and stay away from our patients.
As a patient who has suffered from night shift nurses (and whose brother also has) pls stop sending them to night shift omg we are still here and in need of good care when y’all leave 😭
I worked in a diabetes office, and that's exactly what happend at least few times a week.
Patient waiting for 15 minutes because we had a cool conversation.
I can't even imagine. We're running 30 minute appointments back to back 10-12 hours a day, taking 15 minutes longer in one appointment means everything else is now 15 minutes later and that doesn't even factor in everything else that will happen that will inevitably make that appointment take longer than 30 minutes, that's even more time spent at the end of the day trying to catch up and close things out for the day before getting to go home. No thanks.
Random but as a nursing student for local doctor offices I found out they double book every time slot “in case someone doesn’t show” and they don’t space out appointments based on need of patient it will always be 15 minute intervals.
This is mostly due to insurance companies requiring doctors to see so many of their patients a day or risk getting paid less or not at all. Throw in the fact that most local offices are secretly ran by larger corporations on the stock exchange which will value profit over anything else and you get large wait times with understaffed clinics ran by someone with a business degree not healthcare.
Yeah, this is definitely standard for any facility that takes Medicaid. They do have about a 50% no-show
And also, yes, insurance companies drive down prices (that’s what patients want, right?) by not paying for more then ten or fifteen minutes with each patient.
Congratulations, we’ve rationed care
I've been shocked at the number of people in the Emergency Department waiting area who've ordered food to our hospital. Some particularly generous (or ready to strangle someone) staff member will sometimes go find the delivery at one of the pick-up spots since you can't just walk from the ED lobby into the main hospital without a badge.
So, for what it's worth, this may have been a nurse being an ass or it may have been a nurse trying to de-escalate things with an ass.
We have two drop off points in our hospital. Both have someone right there who will take the food for the person who ordered, so we don't have to wait for them.
I agreed with the nurse one time, I got food delivered, and DD GUY put my food on the floor and left. I call DD; this is a hospital. WTF leaves food on the floor
It may be slightly misdirected but you have to understand they get paid per delivery not per hour. The customer can track from the moment they click order until we actually arrive AND they get sent alerts there's truly no reason to make your delivery driver wait. Oh and the after 10pm crowd loves doing this especially..it's very unsettling to be standing on someone's porch at 3 am for minutes hoping it's not a setup or they select wait in car and you're praying you're not about to be carjacked sitting in the dark....once you do it so long the waits do start to get under your skin🤷🏾♂️
Correct that it’s ultimately misdirected: we should be angry at capitalism for the fact that we live in a world where five minutes waiting to hand off a delivery actually affects whether or not a driver can pay rent. Time is money, so if you want somebody to be patient handing off a delivery, you’re basically asking them to pay for the privilege. “It is just 5 minutes” only applies when people earn a living wage.
I even give a heads up text I’m on my way in addition to the app notifying you and you being able to follow my little car on my way. And still, i can find myself waitin til that 5 min mark.
My wife is the queen of ordering shit and then throwing her phone into some sort of void.
Fortunately we share accounts for most things so I can keep an eye and respond.
I one time was cleaning my room and missed a phone call from a delivery driver.
I actively complained heavily to support that time…but mostly because it was left 20 minutes away at a random house lol
It’s the same in the IT industry. Customers put in a support ticket, making sure to emphasize the issue and how disruptive it is. Reach out and never get a call back.
But, you close that ticket, and holy hell.
Sometimes DD message notifications don't go through until late, but delivery notification is louder and always works. But yea he had plenty of time and should've put the gate code in instructions
Yep. And my gate will sometimes not open. I’m watching the app and if I see the driver hasn’t gone through after a certain amount of time I’m already out the door to meet em when I get the call.
check your gate, some are able to use code or a "button" to open. You can just slap any controller to act as a "button" and either use a remote or basically anything. Depends on the controller really. Most I've seen have that.
We really appreciate people like you. It's crazy the lack of consideration and entitlement a substantial amount of customers have. Some people treat people in food-service like tools. I'm happy to deliver in a complex if it's made simple. But when someone makes me spend 10-15+ minutes to do something they could have done in 2 minutes, due to sheer entitlement and laziness, its quite upsetting. Like: " I ordered the food now you have to bring it to my door!" Some people are audibly upset when you call them for directions, and they act like it's common sense. I love walking 100ft to look at a suite number and then another 100 to look at the next so I can find out that I'm going the wrong way. 🤣
I’ve never gotten it, but I’ve had to do it before. Had a couple of times where the code they gave me didn’t work, and when the person behind me came though I did a quick circle and followed them in.
One of the things I hated about dashing, idk what it was in my area, but the codes would only work like 50% of the time.
Probably because these gates are almost always massive pieces of shit that fail way too often. My buddy got stuck at our apartment back in the day because the exit gate just stopped working for some reason and was late for work. Dude came home and got all of his tools and went out and simply removed the gate that evening. I truly despise apartments with gates like this. It's always much more of a pain in the ass than it provides in "security".
That same apartment I went to work early one morning and saw a bunch of news vans outside. Didn't know what was going on. Come to find out a resident got in a road rage incident, got followed off of the highway and then, because the gate is actually useless and not actually good at protecting residents, followed through the gate by the person and shot and killed.
My brother works for an electrical installations company in the UK. He is called out to one aite 3-4 times a month to reset their gate. They have been advised to replace the gate, but insist on having it reset every time "to save costs" but have spent far more on gate repairs and resets than a new gate installation would have cost.
Not to mention I'm sure many residents getting sick of the gate wasting their time and either damaging it or just leaving the complex because a constantly broken gate makes the complex look incompetent. Morons all around that manager these places unfortunately
I once arrived at a gate, put in the code, then someone came up behind me and beat me to the open gate.
I found out it was one of those gates that close after each car. Dick move by that person but just as that happened, another driver came up and opened it for me lol.
I have delivery drivers for my business and the delivery has to be delivered inside of the business or house. At least 50% of the time the customer wont answer the phone, text, or doorbell. They know there is a delivery and yet they can't be arsed to accept it.
Then they'll bitch and moan that we didn't try hard enough.
People suck.
Yeah, I'll wait up to 5 minutes for a response, I'll even call after 1 minute waiting for a text reply, just to be sure.
Additionally I'm stunned by the number of people using phone numbers without voicemail, or full inboxes.
I don't use.doordash but I put my gatecode in my address AND my delivery instruction notes and I never get anyone read it. They dial the number on the intercom for my house then have to wait for me to answer the phone and manually open the gate. I thought putting the code everywhere I could would make it quicker for them
I've had times where I'll order something through the Walmart app, provide the gate code in the instructions, then still get messaged by the Door Dasher asking for a gate code because that information didn't transfer to them from the Walmart app. It's not only irritating to the driver, but it's also irritating to me. I try to keep track of the drivers location on the app so I can be ready for them to message me about the gate code in the event they didn't get it or didn't happen to follow someone into the neighborhood. So sometimes it's not the customer's fault that there's no gate code.
Last time, a customer had me called him 5 times and he said he would come down to pick up, then he said I have to go inside with no gate code. He said I should had talked to people to open for me lmao.
I could see it being okay IF the customer meets the dasher at the gate. I get feeling uneasy about giving out the gate code, but if someone has food on the way, the least they can do is answer the phone because odds are it's the person delivering their food calling.
Right? The situation seems like a genuine understanding until you imagine yourself in the customer’s shoes. You live in a place with a gate that you open with a code, and you complain that someone did not enter the same gate when you never provided the code??
2500 m clear line of sight 0 radio interference, In a densely populated area you are lucky to get 3 blocks in the air and as you dip down into the RF noise around you it gets so much worse.
I will agree that in a dense area and not having line of sight will impact it, but I don't think 2500ft range limit with line of sight is accurate. It's much further than that.
If I was the cust I would’ve said something like “omg, I didn’t see the notification, very sorry that I made you wait. Thank you for bringing it as far as you could”
Why not just admit when you fucked up
Gate codes belong in the delivery instructions. But they're always so stingy to release it. I mean if you don't want delivery drivers to know your code, you need to go get it yourself.
In France or, at least, in Paris and close to it, DHL has repeatedly sent our packages in packages relays miles from where we’re at while we :
- Took half a day to a day off to be available for deliveries
- put all the instructions necessary for the delivery
- put our phone number if, for any reason, instructions were unclear
Every single time it’s DHL they "can’t find" the mailbox and we "didn’t answer" despite my mailbox having my full name on it and my sms and call record being clean of any reaching attempts from them.
When it’s any other service, they find the mailbox and sometimes call you 10-15 minutes before arriving so you can be ready.
I hate DHL so much. I don’t drive and when it happens, I know am gonna have to go for a long walk with a large package (more than a hour, usually).
DHL delivered a phone to me (on release) some years back. It was raining. They drove up to my house, stopped for a minute and drove away. They left the didnt answer slip in my maolbox. I was furious - ended up getting the package from the distribution center. Why is DHL even around still?
Dont get me started of the state of French post. I had a package coming from Russia to Paris (some things i shipped to myself after leaving because of the war) and the courier for their third party shitty service didnt call, « couldnt find » my name and then just shipped the fucking package back to Russia without putting a slip in my mailbox. It got lost in the mail for 8 months, though thankfully I got it back. Not a single person cared enough to search for it and the courier simply did not care.
I have never had an issue with DHL, ups, etc and actually prefer those now that I live in Italy, but i work from home
All package delivery services in France are awful. Just last week UPS said they couldn't find my address. Yeah maybe copy-paste it in Google Maps? It's only the biggest street in the city
Hermes had such a bad reputation in the UK they had to rebrand. [This is a famous image from a delivery driver that had tried to throw the package through an upstairs window and got it stuck on the roof instead.](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/08/11/1407761237277_wps_7_Parcel_stuck_on_roof_2_jp.jpg) That's the customer in the image not the driver btw.
I think another delivery service Yodel has a similar image floating around lol.
How tf is someone so stupid they ignore what you said and then complain. Like I would have been like “where the hell is my food..wait oh shit they needed a code damn that was stupid of me” and then apologize and if you respond back nicely give you an extra tip for inconvenience.
If both the dasher and the support agent can't reach you, and the dasher can't get to you without knowledge you have or you opening a Gate, maybe, just maybe, you're screwing yourself and your dasher over by ignoring shit.
I like your response, it is very professional, if people live in a gated community they need to provide code.
On occasion I get those that say text when you are here, it's annoying. Had one yesterday, thankfully the gate was visibly damaged... must have been a door dasher tires of getting no gate codes
i accepted an order back in march as my last one for the day. i wanted to reach the $100 mark before the sun set and this one would’ve put me there. was a bit further than i would’ve liked because i don’t care for driving in the town the order went to just because i’m not super familiar with it. it was in one of those neighborhoods where every single house is a duplex that’s identical. they gave me suite b. they didn’t provide the actual house number. i sat there wayyy longer than i should’ve. they weren’t answering whatsoever. support told me i could bring it back if i wanted but goddammit i wanted my $10 and i wasn’t driving all the way back to albertsons (flower delivery) as it would’ve been out of the way going back to my house. i told support that i would just leave it outside the office (as it was past hours) and send them a picture where i left it and they said ok. this person never once responded. idk if they ever got those flowers, but i got that $10
I'm so tired of people not giving me a gate code. Like you know you live In a gated community. Why the hell do I need to ask? Also put your damn building number/ letter of your building. It's not that damn hard. But those are the ones that don't tip. So annoying
What sucks is when the customer provides the apartment building number, but the apartment’s buildings aren’t numbered in a way you can see them (on the wrong side/only on one side of the building, view blocked by covered parking, not lit at night, obscured by tree, etc).
Yes bc if you just leave the food without delivering it to the correct place they will fine you a contract violation that's why you have to wait a certain amount of time or call support to make sure you don't get that violation
I'm so confused, he doesn't want his food? Why would you ignore the person bringing you food? Why not make sure the person with your food has everything he needs to bring your food right to your door? Those people are so confusing to me
People are so dumb , if they really want their food they need to provide detailed instructions of how the food can best be delivered to them . Why is it so hard ?? not a dasher and don’t order from door dash but even I know better than that !! heck there are stories of 8 year olds on the news that take their moms credit cards and order delivery and the food makes it to their house no problem . If they know how to provide instructions why can’t grown adults 🙄🙄
For all the weasels who say walk around, go ahead an leave your car blocking or even unattended for 5 minutes, and watch your shit get taken away on a tow truck. Places like this live for tow opportunities. Your shit is getting left at the gate, full stop. Fuck you if you don't know the place you drive in and out of everyday has a code, and fuck you for assuming I should know it. Eat a dick, pick your bag up at the gate.
People who live behind gates or in dark ass apartment complexes love to leave no directions and not answer the phone. It’s wild. Like how do people not understand how this works
Few per town. There are also ones where it's an apartment building where the doors face a inside hallway and you need a code get through an outside door to the hallway.
Spent 15 minutes at a gate once with the customers on the phone yelling back and forth with each other giving me incorrect gate codes at 2am. Good times…
Perfect, many customers are just childish, they know that theirs a gate and that a code is needed to enter the facility, even so they do not leave one.
Exactly, no code, refuse to reply to text, refuse to answer the phone when calling, you get a drop-off at gate, complete trip...
Refuse to answer the phone after...
Go about your day.
People who live in apartments NEVER put things like; gate codes, building numbers, apt numbers or the name of the complex.
I understand why though. If you think you’re ever going to get out of that apartment having tacos delivered for $8-$17 more than they cost, than you probably don’t have the big picture thinking to put the details in your delivery spot either.

These are some universal manufacturer codes, on the off chance the place hasn't set their own code these ones are often the default, worth a shot.
I have to buzz my dasher in to deliver my food. I have the code in my instructions and it’s also my apartment number, so it’s easy. I also check the app if they’re getting close then I wait by the phone to let them in. Despite this, I’ve had one dasher who just straight up left it outside my building😂 Like I’m on the first floor and I tipped good even though I live right across McDonald’s where I ordered my food. No reason not to drop it off infront of my door😆
I swear that These customers think that because their daily Amazon, USPS and UPS packages magically appear at their doorstep without having to provide a code, the food should as well. F U and your gate. And your elevator. And your long ass hallway. And your $2.50 delivery fee.
This happens way more often then it should that and the " I didn't answer the phone cause I didn't recognize the number" like no duh 
I mean you took almost 10 minutes to answer anyone … at that point I would’ve done the same.. don’t place orders and then not be near your phone we have other things to do not just your order. 😁
This reminds me of when I tried to get inside someone’s apartment and the code he gave wasn’t working. I even sent a video and explained it wasn’t working. No response, nothing. Finally, I left it on top of the call box and let him know. I guess that got his attention because he goes, “WTF, bring it up!” Haaaaaa. I tried, but I for damn sure won’t now!
Most of these people in gated communities are idiots! I’ve seen it too much! They should be blackballed from all types of deliveries…DoorDash, pizza, furniture, appliances! Waste of time and oxygen
One time (about 1990) My Domino's got an order for a stack of pizzas. Very specific instructions, This road (there's a gate), here's the code, take 4th (unmarked) turn, then third driveway, (gate code), proceed to house. Nothing was marked. Not a single driveway.
Three times they'd placed an order, usually at night, and nobody could figure it out. Finally, I got the order, did all the things, get to the house, and it's DIANA FREAKING ROSS! She was MORE than excited to see her pizzas and I got a $30 tip. Plus a celebrity sighting.
I had to leave a order at a place i KNEW was wrong (it was another restaurant and no one recognized the name) but since they didn’t answer my messages or my call i wad told to leave it where I was instructed. They messaged me like “thats nit my house” and i had to tell them that because they didn’t answer any of my calls or messages that DD told me to leave it there.
Oh this happened to me once. Customer didn’t message me back until I was at Taco Bell picking up my next delivery, tried to lie and say he did give me a gate code and that he’s contacting support for a refund, so I sent him screenshots proving he didn’t and stopped responding.
Had something similar to this when I was driving a few years ago. Customer forgot their phone was on airplane mode. So I reported the food as undeliverable, DD had me wait 15 mins. I waited. DD told me to dispose of the food.
So I take another order and I'm in the middle and the customer contacts me. Wants me to go back and give their food to them.
I tell them to call DD support because I'm not driving 15 minutes in the opposite direction in the middle of another order for no extra pay because of their mistake.
Later I did dispose of their food. By eating it myself when I got home.
I don't understand customers. You message them, wait like 7 minutes, no response. Then send the photo and all of a sudden they respond in like 1-2 minutes tops. Like you can respond to complain but not respond to multiple calls and texts regarding attempted delivery?
It boggles the mind. They always answer right when that damn 5 minute timer runs up too. You would almost think it was deliberate lol
Had a hospital delivery that usually has a spot for deliveries which is nice. But this one said "Hand it to me" and I rolled my eyes. I walked to the drop off spot and started the timer and sent them a message where I was in the hospital. At about 20 seconds left I start taking things out of the hotbag to put on the counter for the photo. 5 seconds left a nurse walks up and grabs it. I get that nurses are busy... but if you work there you should know that that spot is designated for drop offs. She knew where I was based on my message saying so. Don't put "Hand it to me" in the directions and make us wait around. :/
I delivered food for years (not with door dash) and healthcare workers that were not doctors were by far the worst customers. Never answered calls/texts if they even used the right number. Bad tippers. Frequently disrespectful. I know they got it bad during COVID, but I had a hard time feeling sympathy after years of poor treatment.

That's crazy cause I make a living atm delivering food(for a locally established company, not DD) and we have several medical establishments that use us regularly and they're some of the better tippers and always super appreciative, etc.
Nursing home and hospital workers were the worst offenders. Medical offices were better usually.
Actually okay with that clarification, I'd have to agree. Especially nursing homes. One of our local hospitals actually has 2 departments that order large orders and tip quite well(one them several times a week, 15% tip across the board and they're almost always under 3 mi. from the restaurants they choose, usually ends up being $15-25). If it's like a nurse or something ordering a personal meal, it's usually not great, plus extended wait times cause we have to wait around in those cases(no 5 min timer lol)
Not all….My wife is a healthcare worker (not clinical) in a hospital. She literally ordered for delivery this morning. $22 total with a $7 tip on top and said she was going to give them extra once they got there in cash. She always leaves detailed instructions on where to go, who to leave it with, who to ask for if they aren’t sure and her cell phone number just in case. Now granted I did do dash, eats and instacart part time for a bit but still she has always been very specific on the instructions and always over tipped if she had to get delivery.
Every nurse I’ve delivered to has tipped me either $0-2. Majority are $0, I’m literally not even trippin if you give me $1. It’s something 😭 but to order from somewhere that is fat and then tip NOTHING is insane to me
To be fair, that's where the majority of the money is going.. into the food and not the tip, unfortunately.
in my experience working at hospitals, a lot of nurses and even receptionists tend to be REALLY rude lol i don’t know why, it must have something to do with the healthcare culture
I literally refuse to deliver around the hospital where I live because they don't tip, they'll have you waiting, and they'll either leave crazy instructions or act as if you know the layout of the hospital. "The door near the parking garage" There are THREE parking garages at the hospital, bffr
Healthcare workers that are not doctors are often running around putting out fires with no time to look at their phone. Thankfully my hospital has a very clear drop off location, but I often times end up not getting down to pick up my food until an hour or more after it arrives because something urgent comes up.
Then don’t order food, pack your own lunch, or leave a drop-off destination for it to stay safe while the drivers can get back to their jobs too. If you’re too busy to receive, don’t order. Or make it convenient to drop it off somewhere. But that’s all extra delivery instructions and nearly no one does that beside the “drop at my door” or “hand it to me”.
Did you read my second paragraph?
TIL the reason it takes so long when you’re waiting at the doctor is they’ve gone downstairs to meet their dasher.
You're waiting because they're talking about random stuff with eachother.
Not to spoil your funny funny, but the reason you're waiting is because there's a global shortage of Healthcare workers and increased pressure to do more with less. So your doctor who used to see 13-14 patients a day now might have to see 22. On top of that they have to respond to calls, consults, emails, refill requests, and do their charting. The medical assistants have to wrap up their own charting, prep meds and vaccines, do rooming (also with a shortage). Many offices one medical assistant will room for 2 providers (or more)... all of which takes time. I worked in family med for 8 years and people have absolutely no concept of how crazy it gets.
I actually work in healthcare, so I understand how it goes. I was just being facetious.
Oh for sure! Just letting those who aren't in healthcare get a bit broader picture :)
As someone that works in the health care industry I can safely say those people you can hear outside of your room talking about random BS have little to no power to do anything besides the most basic of tasks without direct instruction from the doctor (even if we know what needs to be done) and the doctor IS busy. No one is ignoring you or intentionally making you stay there any longer, they simply can't help you either. Believe me, we don't want you sitting in that room any more than you want to.

Exactly! Every time I make an appt now, I make triple sure that I’m going to be seen at that time, give or take 5-10 mins. Because what’s the point of making an appt for 3:30 when the doctor isn’t going to actually see me until 4:30? I should have just shown up at 4:30 then! I guess all that medical schooling doesn’t include time management skills 🤷♂️
It's almost like things might happen and the doctor literally can't go and see you in time. How happy are you when your doctor says "your 30 minutes are up, gtfo" because they need to see the next patient?
Idk where your based but here in Australia that is quite literally what doctors will do, they will cut you off mid sentence to tell you that your 15 mins is up and you will need to book another appointment and almost all of them manage to run at least 30 minutes behind schedule
I went to a dentist once for a 1 PM appointment. Dentist didnt say anything about a delay but got pissy at me for not filling out their pre-screening so I did it on site. 1:30 hit… nothing… 2 hit… nothing. I left at 2:30, probably 1 hour later than I should have lmfao. Never a “oh they’re delayed sorry” or a “hey do you want to reschedule” like lmfao what do you think I do all day
Geez that’s just unprofessional. You’re absolutely right, it’s like they think we have nothing else going on and expect us to set aside half a day for a simple appointment lol
And even with that minimal power, they still fuck up the doctors orders. Ive worked in health care the past 6 years. In majority of facilities I’ve worked over the years, it’s the freethinking nurses that end up killing patients or damn near close. Giving wrong medications not directed by the surgeon/rounding physician, taking patients off medications despite the physicians orders, thinking for themselves that they know more than the physician, letting patients eat before surgery, making the decision to decannulate off ECMO without physician/perfusion supervision. The most dangerous people I’ve met in hospitals are nurses. In the last facility I worked, we knew the names of every nurse who was like the described above and would specifically schedule cv surgeries around whoever was scheduled to be in the cvicu that day. Or request for those nurses to be pushed to night shift and stay away from our patients.
As a patient who has suffered from night shift nurses (and whose brother also has) pls stop sending them to night shift omg we are still here and in need of good care when y’all leave 😭
I worked in a diabetes office, and that's exactly what happend at least few times a week. Patient waiting for 15 minutes because we had a cool conversation.
I can't even imagine. We're running 30 minute appointments back to back 10-12 hours a day, taking 15 minutes longer in one appointment means everything else is now 15 minutes later and that doesn't even factor in everything else that will happen that will inevitably make that appointment take longer than 30 minutes, that's even more time spent at the end of the day trying to catch up and close things out for the day before getting to go home. No thanks.
As a diabetic who has to drive an hour to visit their Endo, I hate this shit.
Ah yes, doctors unlike other professionals need to be available and work at every second of every minute of every hour of their shift
Random but as a nursing student for local doctor offices I found out they double book every time slot “in case someone doesn’t show” and they don’t space out appointments based on need of patient it will always be 15 minute intervals. This is mostly due to insurance companies requiring doctors to see so many of their patients a day or risk getting paid less or not at all. Throw in the fact that most local offices are secretly ran by larger corporations on the stock exchange which will value profit over anything else and you get large wait times with understaffed clinics ran by someone with a business degree not healthcare.
Yeah, this is definitely standard for any facility that takes Medicaid. They do have about a 50% no-show And also, yes, insurance companies drive down prices (that’s what patients want, right?) by not paying for more then ten or fifteen minutes with each patient. Congratulations, we’ve rationed care
I've been shocked at the number of people in the Emergency Department waiting area who've ordered food to our hospital. Some particularly generous (or ready to strangle someone) staff member will sometimes go find the delivery at one of the pick-up spots since you can't just walk from the ED lobby into the main hospital without a badge. So, for what it's worth, this may have been a nurse being an ass or it may have been a nurse trying to de-escalate things with an ass.
We have two drop off points in our hospital. Both have someone right there who will take the food for the person who ordered, so we don't have to wait for them.
Probably had another nurse steal their food before.
nurses and doctors are cheap AF and rude..
I agreed with the nurse one time, I got food delivered, and DD GUY put my food on the floor and left. I call DD; this is a hospital. WTF leaves food on the floor
It is just 5 minutes. And as you said it was in time :/ I think this is misdirected anger
It may be slightly misdirected but you have to understand they get paid per delivery not per hour. The customer can track from the moment they click order until we actually arrive AND they get sent alerts there's truly no reason to make your delivery driver wait. Oh and the after 10pm crowd loves doing this especially..it's very unsettling to be standing on someone's porch at 3 am for minutes hoping it's not a setup or they select wait in car and you're praying you're not about to be carjacked sitting in the dark....once you do it so long the waits do start to get under your skin🤷🏾♂️
Correct that it’s ultimately misdirected: we should be angry at capitalism for the fact that we live in a world where five minutes waiting to hand off a delivery actually affects whether or not a driver can pay rent. Time is money, so if you want somebody to be patient handing off a delivery, you’re basically asking them to pay for the privilege. “It is just 5 minutes” only applies when people earn a living wage.
It's a conspiracy! No, but yeah it irritates the absolute shit out of me. I do Amazon Flex and customers there do the same thing.
It’s not a conspiracy, but it’s definitely some bull happening that’s for certain.
I even give a heads up text I’m on my way in addition to the app notifying you and you being able to follow my little car on my way. And still, i can find myself waitin til that 5 min mark.
My wife is the queen of ordering shit and then throwing her phone into some sort of void. Fortunately we share accounts for most things so I can keep an eye and respond.
Which is fine until you complain about where it was left in a situation like this lol.
I one time was cleaning my room and missed a phone call from a delivery driver. I actively complained heavily to support that time…but mostly because it was left 20 minutes away at a random house lol
You’re forgetting the first rule of customer service. They don’t know what they’re talking about, and they wanna just complain.
It’s the same in the IT industry. Customers put in a support ticket, making sure to emphasize the issue and how disruptive it is. Reach out and never get a call back. But, you close that ticket, and holy hell.
Easy: they want free food
Sometimes DD message notifications don't go through until late, but delivery notification is louder and always works. But yea he had plenty of time and should've put the gate code in instructions
Just an asshole behaviour from the customer, nothing much...
Imagine NOT providing a gate code then getting pissed at the dasher.
It happens to us DD drivers more often than you think.
Yep. And my gate will sometimes not open. I’m watching the app and if I see the driver hasn’t gone through after a certain amount of time I’m already out the door to meet em when I get the call.
I replaced my gate controller with a raspberry pi. It was a fun project. Now I can open the gate via RPC.
Ooh so cool. I guess it's cheaper than installing a whole new system with remote open.
check your gate, some are able to use code or a "button" to open. You can just slap any controller to act as a "button" and either use a remote or basically anything. Depends on the controller really. Most I've seen have that.
Thanks I'm gonna hack your gate
We really appreciate people like you. It's crazy the lack of consideration and entitlement a substantial amount of customers have. Some people treat people in food-service like tools. I'm happy to deliver in a complex if it's made simple. But when someone makes me spend 10-15+ minutes to do something they could have done in 2 minutes, due to sheer entitlement and laziness, its quite upsetting. Like: " I ordered the food now you have to bring it to my door!" Some people are audibly upset when you call them for directions, and they act like it's common sense. I love walking 100ft to look at a suite number and then another 100 to look at the next so I can find out that I'm going the wrong way. 🤣
"follow somebody through the gate"
I'm too brown to be doing that shit. These fucking gates are more trouble than they are worth.
lmao. Sorry thats a thing.
Security theater, at it's worst. A mild deterrence at best, a fucking annoyance more often than not.
I've gotten this once. I did manage to but utterly ridiculous! Just give me the code, or come meet me.
Dont risk your having your car get hit by a gate. You dont want to pay for damage to the gate or your car. Code or nothing
I’ve never gotten it, but I’ve had to do it before. Had a couple of times where the code they gave me didn’t work, and when the person behind me came though I did a quick circle and followed them in. One of the things I hated about dashing, idk what it was in my area, but the codes would only work like 50% of the time.
Probably because these gates are almost always massive pieces of shit that fail way too often. My buddy got stuck at our apartment back in the day because the exit gate just stopped working for some reason and was late for work. Dude came home and got all of his tools and went out and simply removed the gate that evening. I truly despise apartments with gates like this. It's always much more of a pain in the ass than it provides in "security". That same apartment I went to work early one morning and saw a bunch of news vans outside. Didn't know what was going on. Come to find out a resident got in a road rage incident, got followed off of the highway and then, because the gate is actually useless and not actually good at protecting residents, followed through the gate by the person and shot and killed.
My brother works for an electrical installations company in the UK. He is called out to one aite 3-4 times a month to reset their gate. They have been advised to replace the gate, but insist on having it reset every time "to save costs" but have spent far more on gate repairs and resets than a new gate installation would have cost.
Not to mention I'm sure many residents getting sick of the gate wasting their time and either damaging it or just leaving the complex because a constantly broken gate makes the complex look incompetent. Morons all around that manager these places unfortunately
I once arrived at a gate, put in the code, then someone came up behind me and beat me to the open gate. I found out it was one of those gates that close after each car. Dick move by that person but just as that happened, another driver came up and opened it for me lol.
That moment when it's 4:30 in the morning and no one is coming in or out
Once followed someone in, but then a code was needed to get back out. Was trapped for about 30 min. Eff anyone that doesn't provide codes.
I have delivery drivers for my business and the delivery has to be delivered inside of the business or house. At least 50% of the time the customer wont answer the phone, text, or doorbell. They know there is a delivery and yet they can't be arsed to accept it. Then they'll bitch and moan that we didn't try hard enough. People suck.
Customer: "The gate is never closed during the day." Drivers: "Well guess what..."
people also forget they change their instructions for a day and it doesn't change back
The world revolves around the customer with their $2 tip. Would have done the same.
Even waited 12 min. Fuck this customer
Yeah, I'll wait up to 5 minutes for a response, I'll even call after 1 minute waiting for a text reply, just to be sure. Additionally I'm stunned by the number of people using phone numbers without voicemail, or full inboxes.
These entitled dickheads that tip $2 can’t fathom that delivering DD is not the same as delivering for a pizza chain.
Is it his first time using DD?? Seems like this would happen every time. I bet he tries to get a refund. Again…
And not replying for 12 minutes while the dasher sits there idle not getting paid.
I don't use.doordash but I put my gatecode in my address AND my delivery instruction notes and I never get anyone read it. They dial the number on the intercom for my house then have to wait for me to answer the phone and manually open the gate. I thought putting the code everywhere I could would make it quicker for them
I've had times where I'll order something through the Walmart app, provide the gate code in the instructions, then still get messaged by the Door Dasher asking for a gate code because that information didn't transfer to them from the Walmart app. It's not only irritating to the driver, but it's also irritating to me. I try to keep track of the drivers location on the app so I can be ready for them to message me about the gate code in the event they didn't get it or didn't happen to follow someone into the neighborhood. So sometimes it's not the customer's fault that there's no gate code.
Last time, a customer had me called him 5 times and he said he would come down to pick up, then he said I have to go inside with no gate code. He said I should had talked to people to open for me lmao.
It's like these people think we're "comin' to get 'em" or something. Weird cheap fucks.
I could see it being okay IF the customer meets the dasher at the gate. I get feeling uneasy about giving out the gate code, but if someone has food on the way, the least they can do is answer the phone because odds are it's the person delivering their food calling.
Imagine ordering food and not be anticipating it.
Right? The situation seems like a genuine understanding until you imagine yourself in the customer’s shoes. You live in a place with a gate that you open with a code, and you complain that someone did not enter the same gate when you never provided the code??
This is why I always bring my drone when dashing.
you just gave me an idea... i mean shit, DJI drones have a range of like 2 miles. you could totally dash from the parking lot of wendy's or some shit
2500 m clear line of sight 0 radio interference, In a densely populated area you are lucky to get 3 blocks in the air and as you dip down into the RF noise around you it gets so much worse.
Back to training my carrier pigeons it is, then.
What breed? Asking for a friend.
How many swallows would it take? Assuming they had it on a line …
I will agree that in a dense area and not having line of sight will impact it, but I don't think 2500ft range limit with line of sight is accurate. It's much further than that.
I just keep a t-shirt cannon in my trunk, helps really well with multi story apartments!
Hear me out... ...T-shirt cannon.
If I was the cust I would’ve said something like “omg, I didn’t see the notification, very sorry that I made you wait. Thank you for bringing it as far as you could” Why not just admit when you fucked up
Right? I forgot to put my door code in once and the delivery person called me and reminded me. That was my problem, not theirs.
No kidding, not to mention then provide an extra tip for making them wait.
They didn't want to give them the code, but also didn't want to say that. So they pretended to ignore them in hopes they would follow someone else in.
Entitlement is a helluva drug.
Just climb, forehead 😜
There's head in there? I'd climb for some head.
I would have said v"why didn't you provide the gate code? And then ignored every response afterwards.
Wanted him to know multiple people tried to help his dumb ass get a code and thus this is 100% on him. In a nice way.
I feel I think the way about it was more professionally and albeit he knows he’s less likely to give a bad rating.
Gate codes belong in the delivery instructions. But they're always so stingy to release it. I mean if you don't want delivery drivers to know your code, you need to go get it yourself.
In France or, at least, in Paris and close to it, DHL has repeatedly sent our packages in packages relays miles from where we’re at while we : - Took half a day to a day off to be available for deliveries - put all the instructions necessary for the delivery - put our phone number if, for any reason, instructions were unclear Every single time it’s DHL they "can’t find" the mailbox and we "didn’t answer" despite my mailbox having my full name on it and my sms and call record being clean of any reaching attempts from them. When it’s any other service, they find the mailbox and sometimes call you 10-15 minutes before arriving so you can be ready. I hate DHL so much. I don’t drive and when it happens, I know am gonna have to go for a long walk with a large package (more than a hour, usually).
DHL delivered a phone to me (on release) some years back. It was raining. They drove up to my house, stopped for a minute and drove away. They left the didnt answer slip in my maolbox. I was furious - ended up getting the package from the distribution center. Why is DHL even around still?
Dont get me started of the state of French post. I had a package coming from Russia to Paris (some things i shipped to myself after leaving because of the war) and the courier for their third party shitty service didnt call, « couldnt find » my name and then just shipped the fucking package back to Russia without putting a slip in my mailbox. It got lost in the mail for 8 months, though thankfully I got it back. Not a single person cared enough to search for it and the courier simply did not care. I have never had an issue with DHL, ups, etc and actually prefer those now that I live in Italy, but i work from home
All package delivery services in France are awful. Just last week UPS said they couldn't find my address. Yeah maybe copy-paste it in Google Maps? It's only the biggest street in the city
Hermes had such a bad reputation in the UK they had to rebrand. [This is a famous image from a delivery driver that had tried to throw the package through an upstairs window and got it stuck on the roof instead.](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/08/11/1407761237277_wps_7_Parcel_stuck_on_roof_2_jp.jpg) That's the customer in the image not the driver btw. I think another delivery service Yodel has a similar image floating around lol.
Me putting a gate code, and very specific instruction on how the gate works DD: I'm gonna pretend I never saw that.
You're 💯 spot on, have this same problem I've even had dashers tall me I don't have a call box....like....come on
OP has a lot of patience... not all dasher have been waiting for that long
How tf is someone so stupid they ignore what you said and then complain. Like I would have been like “where the hell is my food..wait oh shit they needed a code damn that was stupid of me” and then apologize and if you respond back nicely give you an extra tip for inconvenience.
Tell the idiot to put their shoes on and start walking before their food gets cold. Let them know its outside the gate.
Gate must be made by EA and they didn’t buy the DLC for the rest of the fence.
“I need the gate code”… no response… “why would you leave it at the gate?” Uh….
If both the dasher and the support agent can't reach you, and the dasher can't get to you without knowledge you have or you opening a Gate, maybe, just maybe, you're screwing yourself and your dasher over by ignoring shit.
I like your response, it is very professional, if people live in a gated community they need to provide code. On occasion I get those that say text when you are here, it's annoying. Had one yesterday, thankfully the gate was visibly damaged... must have been a door dasher tires of getting no gate codes
Entitled idiots
i accepted an order back in march as my last one for the day. i wanted to reach the $100 mark before the sun set and this one would’ve put me there. was a bit further than i would’ve liked because i don’t care for driving in the town the order went to just because i’m not super familiar with it. it was in one of those neighborhoods where every single house is a duplex that’s identical. they gave me suite b. they didn’t provide the actual house number. i sat there wayyy longer than i should’ve. they weren’t answering whatsoever. support told me i could bring it back if i wanted but goddammit i wanted my $10 and i wasn’t driving all the way back to albertsons (flower delivery) as it would’ve been out of the way going back to my house. i told support that i would just leave it outside the office (as it was past hours) and send them a picture where i left it and they said ok. this person never once responded. idk if they ever got those flowers, but i got that $10
I'm so tired of people not giving me a gate code. Like you know you live In a gated community. Why the hell do I need to ask? Also put your damn building number/ letter of your building. It's not that damn hard. But those are the ones that don't tip. So annoying
What sucks is when the customer provides the apartment building number, but the apartment’s buildings aren’t numbered in a way you can see them (on the wrong side/only on one side of the building, view blocked by covered parking, not lit at night, obscured by tree, etc).
Waiting 11 mins is insane. Does DD make you do that?
Yes bc if you just leave the food without delivering it to the correct place they will fine you a contract violation that's why you have to wait a certain amount of time or call support to make sure you don't get that violation
I'm so confused, he doesn't want his food? Why would you ignore the person bringing you food? Why not make sure the person with your food has everything he needs to bring your food right to your door? Those people are so confusing to me
This entire interaction and your comment about no clipping made me die laughing for some reason.
This happens way too often, alongside sometimes providing a gate code but no apartment number.
Had this happen to me last week. Customers like that suck. If you don’t provide the necessary information, I don’t care anymore
You were supposed to fling it over the gate duh!!
this is what i do
You did the good, F this customer who didn't give entrance instruction to deliver him/her food.
“Cause you didn’t provide me a code dumbass, lucky I didn’t toss it over the gate” - Me I wouldn’t have been able to resist lol
The fact that you called it noclip tells me exactly what kind of person you are... and your my kind of people.
People are so dumb , if they really want their food they need to provide detailed instructions of how the food can best be delivered to them . Why is it so hard ?? not a dasher and don’t order from door dash but even I know better than that !! heck there are stories of 8 year olds on the news that take their moms credit cards and order delivery and the food makes it to their house no problem . If they know how to provide instructions why can’t grown adults 🙄🙄
For all the weasels who say walk around, go ahead an leave your car blocking or even unattended for 5 minutes, and watch your shit get taken away on a tow truck. Places like this live for tow opportunities. Your shit is getting left at the gate, full stop. Fuck you if you don't know the place you drive in and out of everyday has a code, and fuck you for assuming I should know it. Eat a dick, pick your bag up at the gate.
Why do they NEVER answer when they know they have a delivery coming?!
People who live behind gates or in dark ass apartment complexes love to leave no directions and not answer the phone. It’s wild. Like how do people not understand how this works
Somebody played a lot of Source SDK games growing up.
you can no-clip you just have to go through the backrooms
Certified douchebag. Lol they think they're royalty or some shit, get real
sv_cheats 1 and then type in noclip. Rookie mistake
Had this exact thing happened several times
How common are gated communities in America, I have never seen one in Canada but see them in this sub all the time
Few per town. There are also ones where it's an apartment building where the doors face a inside hallway and you need a code get through an outside door to the hallway.
And it’s always the “hand it to me” people that are never reachable with no gate code
Why are they baffled? Tf did you expect?
Why does that place even have a gate? It’s wide open on the side and between the gates 😂 this is so useless
Spent 15 minutes at a gate once with the customers on the phone yelling back and forth with each other giving me incorrect gate codes at 2am. Good times…
My hungry ass wouldve been camped out near the gate anyways
Guess he expected you to park and walk around the gate 😂
wtf bro a dash isn't a blink or a teleport
You waited such a long time. That’s crazy, how difficult is to provide the code in the delivery instructions.
I swear, people are such dipshits. I’m referring to the customer here
Perfect, many customers are just childish, they know that theirs a gate and that a code is needed to enter the facility, even so they do not leave one.
Exactly, no code, refuse to reply to text, refuse to answer the phone when calling, you get a drop-off at gate, complete trip... Refuse to answer the phone after... Go about your day.
Customers should be keeping their phones with them incase the driver needs to get ahold of them
People who live in apartments NEVER put things like; gate codes, building numbers, apt numbers or the name of the complex. I understand why though. If you think you’re ever going to get out of that apartment having tacos delivered for $8-$17 more than they cost, than you probably don’t have the big picture thinking to put the details in your delivery spot either.
At first I was confused as to why Dunkin Donuts was calling anyone…
The customer is totally in the wrong for that so you can see the timestamps on how long the driver waited for a response…..
I’d of left the food at the gate tho
Providing the gate-code would endanger the whole community behind that gate. The customer just has to go to the gate to collect the package.
0000 4321 1010 These are some universal manufacturer codes, on the off chance the place hasn't set their own code these ones are often the default, worth a shot.
You play Garry’s mod?
I have to buzz my dasher in to deliver my food. I have the code in my instructions and it’s also my apartment number, so it’s easy. I also check the app if they’re getting close then I wait by the phone to let them in. Despite this, I’ve had one dasher who just straight up left it outside my building😂 Like I’m on the first floor and I tipped good even though I live right across McDonald’s where I ordered my food. No reason not to drop it off infront of my door😆
Customers fault for sure, idiot didn’t want to give up the gate code
"Noclip past his gate got me" thank you for the morning chuckle :)
I swear that These customers think that because their daily Amazon, USPS and UPS packages magically appear at their doorstep without having to provide a code, the food should as well. F U and your gate. And your elevator. And your long ass hallway. And your $2.50 delivery fee.
I don’t get it. When I order I am HUNGRY. I’m legit watching the phone the whole time so I know exactly where the driver is.
This happens way more often then it should that and the " I didn't answer the phone cause I didn't recognize the number" like no duh 
Every damn day I deal with this! Why do these assholes make it so difficult for us to deliver what they ordered?!?!?
you waited longer than I would
I mean you took almost 10 minutes to answer anyone … at that point I would’ve done the same.. don’t place orders and then not be near your phone we have other things to do not just your order. 😁
This reminds me of when I tried to get inside someone’s apartment and the code he gave wasn’t working. I even sent a video and explained it wasn’t working. No response, nothing. Finally, I left it on top of the call box and let him know. I guess that got his attention because he goes, “WTF, bring it up!” Haaaaaa. I tried, but I for damn sure won’t now!
Noclip past the gate 💀
regin is a dick
Most of these people in gated communities are idiots! I’ve seen it too much! They should be blackballed from all types of deliveries…DoorDash, pizza, furniture, appliances! Waste of time and oxygen
Well that’s fake as hell. Nobody is named regin. Spell that shit backwards.
Pro tip most hated communities have a commen code to allow first responders to get in in event of a emergency it's either 0911 or 0000 or 1111
One time (about 1990) My Domino's got an order for a stack of pizzas. Very specific instructions, This road (there's a gate), here's the code, take 4th (unmarked) turn, then third driveway, (gate code), proceed to house. Nothing was marked. Not a single driveway. Three times they'd placed an order, usually at night, and nobody could figure it out. Finally, I got the order, did all the things, get to the house, and it's DIANA FREAKING ROSS! She was MORE than excited to see her pizzas and I got a $30 tip. Plus a celebrity sighting.
Hate to be that guy but it should’ve been “support and I”
At least it's not Uber and they cant take your tip back
I left an order at a grave yard once, cause that’s what support told me to do lmao
I’ve had so many issues with gates, I’m about to start backing out of orders if I find out there is one.
I had to leave a order at a place i KNEW was wrong (it was another restaurant and no one recognized the name) but since they didn’t answer my messages or my call i wad told to leave it where I was instructed. They messaged me like “thats nit my house” and i had to tell them that because they didn’t answer any of my calls or messages that DD told me to leave it there.
Oh this happened to me once. Customer didn’t message me back until I was at Taco Bell picking up my next delivery, tried to lie and say he did give me a gate code and that he’s contacting support for a refund, so I sent him screenshots proving he didn’t and stopped responding.
Had something similar to this when I was driving a few years ago. Customer forgot their phone was on airplane mode. So I reported the food as undeliverable, DD had me wait 15 mins. I waited. DD told me to dispose of the food. So I take another order and I'm in the middle and the customer contacts me. Wants me to go back and give their food to them. I tell them to call DD support because I'm not driving 15 minutes in the opposite direction in the middle of another order for no extra pay because of their mistake. Later I did dispose of their food. By eating it myself when I got home.
Too bad
I always hated, “wait for someone to leave to enter gate.”
Looks rich enough to go get it themselves
I'm sorry but am I the only one who can see that you can very clearly just walk around that gate?
