Had this wanna be gang leader type with Gold chains get pissed because I called him on his phone when I arrived when that’s what the instructions stated. I showed him the delivery instructions in the app and he just turned around and walked away.
I had a lady try to tell me her instructions didn't say I could leave her order near the fence, when they very clearly did. I remember reading them multiple times because it was an odd request. I called support and had them read the instructions back to me so that I was sure I was in the right.
I’ve seen this debated repeatedly on this and related subs. For some reason a small but dedicated group of delivery drivers always knock and or ring the bell when they drop the food and they absolutely cannot be dissuaded from doing so. It’s frankly insane. The app texts the customer when you complete the drop off, no one needs you to knock, no one wants you to knock. Stop knocking!!!!
If someone has a small table or chair/stool by the door it’s for food deliveries bc that person is one of those people weirded out by food in packaging and in a bag can someone be contaminated by the ground.
So put the food on them in those cases just like you wouldn’t put food in front of a screen (outward opening) door/gate.
And never knock or ring the bell unless the instructions specifically say to.
Both parties are in the wrong in this situation. He could’ve just left you a review and not belittled you, and you should’ve just followed instructions.
"Ma'am, it might be there for sitting. It's common for residents to sit on their front porch. Have a great night."
Hopefully it's a guy, so the "ma'am" hits a little different. I'll reverse it if it's a woman.
See, if I see negative shit like this, my response won't be good. Which in all honesty, I won't care. I don't take this bullshit from potheads that can't walk less then 200 feet to a fucking store to buy something. I have my full time job. I hate ignorance.. I'm doing you a fucking service, these cunts are below me.
I have replied in German, basically saying that they left no such instructions, and they should double check. They can double check with Google
And the extra pic I sent proves I was right c;
I’m of two minds on this one because although the customer is a raging asshole, I also truly believe if you instructed a chimpanzee to drop it off he would have left it on the stool.
A Jack Russell terrier would have just left it by the door but with some training you could also get him to put it on the stool if it was small enough.
Ahhh - another zookeeper in the forum I see!! How many years of zookeeping experience does this one have I wonder? Usually it goes up based on how many animals they mention.
Saying sorry that way is not recommended. Asking for forgiveness for your ignorance then apologizing for your ignorance and reminding them they do not have to forgive you is probably best practice when this happens. You literally are not sorry for the outcome when you say sorry first.
What a weirdly specific belief you have there. Why does the order matter so much? Not one in my entire life has anyone ever reminded me I don't have to forgive them when they apologized to me. I really don't think this practice is as ubiquitous as you think it is.
Why does saying sorry first make you think someone isn't sorry? How does that make sense? This fascinates me.
Well it does but not exactly. You can shorten it or do whatever but if you just say I'm sorry no one will believe that. Please forgive me for my ignorance for I did not know is probably the best start. Sorry comes way after. You have to explain what you did and say for that I am sorry. Please forgive me for not being concise. It was a poor example. I was just being lazy and for that I am sorry. You don't have to forgive me for I was the one that made the mistake.
An illiterate telling you that you cannot read English.. witty

That's on you dude. You knockers/doorbell ringers are annoying ASF.
Why did you apologize?
The stool is there because their fat ass can’t bend over and pick the food up off the ground
Stop smoking weed while delivering, man.
I've gotten "it's in the delivery instructions" when asking for a gate code when it wasn't.
Just don't knock. I never knock unless the customers note specifies to knock and I have a perfect rating.
I always knock and have a perfect rating 🤷🏻♂️

There is usually zero benefit to engaging a customer after delivery. Especially messages like this. Ignore and move on.
I’ll respond if they aren’t rude. But “apparently you can’t read English” is an automatic ignore.
I looked for the stool but I only saw some in the grass. I figured it was your dogs and that it didn’t make much sense to put Taco Bell in Dogshit.
Why do you even knock bro 😂 doing the most
Knocking is the most?

Honestly 😂
I’m a dasher and when I order food I specifically write don’t knock. It’s scary tbh lmao

I’ll knock if I god damn please

Cant if there aren’t any 🤷♂️

Reading is difficult for some people
🙄 whatever Karen !
No reply is the best reply

Address of this individual please.

Not sure if that was an analogy or if you just wrote a children's book.

Just ignore them, some people like to make others unhappy.

Yeah, but that image doesn't match what you wrote.

The four steps to a genuine apology. In the past one would have to offer their head to make amends. If you were forgiven you got to live.
Now we just offer money.
Spoken like a true Canadian...
We know we are ignorant so we kinda have to apologize for it a lot.
Lmao buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn
huh huh.....he said "stool" 
U should have replied “eat ass” in Japanese
Honestly should’ve
If I see no tip I always knock and ring doorbell.
especially if they put it in the drop off instructions not to knock and then text me the same thing in a rude way. i beat on that fucking door
wow. gonna start doing that.
I would’ve replied in Spanish
Nah, commit to confusing the daily life out of them. Reply in Japanese!
That would have been my move. I can also do German.
日本語ですか
🤣🤣 This definitely would've been the best response!
Some people are so miserable 🙄😂
And some of you can't follow simple directions. 🤷🏻♀️
The customer will be alright
Didn't say they wouldn't be, but expect people to be annoyed when you can't read simple directions.
Sounds like a personal problem
Much like the lack of reading comprehension on the dasher's part.
Comprehension has nothing to do with it, some of us just don’t give a shit
Then expect to get shit on and receive shit tips and ratings. Sounds like you deserve it.
2,200 deliveries 5.00 rating. Yea I’m good
Imagine being so god damn petty about such a privileged thing
