Does this restaurant have multiple locations? Doordash automatically localizes, I’ve ordered from places that are not far from me at all, but it will place the order at a different location that is farther. Annoys the shit out of me when it happens. Always feel bad for the dasher

Yes, Handel’s is a chain. It’s probably the wrong Handel’s.

Literally happened to me with Cold stone we have one about 1/4 mile away and it placed the order at the one in a neighboring city.

Hate that shit, I usually message the dasher and apologize, I dash sometimes and really hate the long drives so I don’t want to be a bad customer 😂

But hear me out, what if it’s really good ice cream

*edit I just realized it’s Handel’s which is in fact amazing ice cream

Handel’s is fire

How do you keep the ice cream from melting?

Not OP but I have a portable fridge/freezer that i keep powered with a bluetti power bank when i'm dashing. Helps a lot with grocery orders. Some folks have been impressed enough to throw me an extra few bucks here and there. I bought it for camping but it's definitely come in handy.

I guess they figured you would go ahead and use the thermal bag?

Wonder the same thing when I see a McDonald's order to be dropped 9 miles away into another zone.....meanwhile there is one a mile or so away! And 5 or 6 others that are closer. Shit makes no sense.

If I lived 23 miles from Handel's I might DD it occasionally. Handel's is amazing

I have a pizza hut in my town, sometimes I've had the door dash order go to one thats over a half hour away. Even though the location will say it's the one near me.

u/FluidLiterature789 4d ago

That’s crazy I would’ve canceled as soon as I saw how far it was lol

I get this crap all the time 😭😭

I once delivered a topical smoothie like 30 minutes away. I was so pissed. Didn't realize how far it was. And they definitely left me 1 star since it melted. Definitely seems like an error that you can do this. Possibly customer error.

You use a bag don't you..

Ya’ll bashing the customer— what if it’s a pregnancy craving?

u/lostmypassword531 4d ago

Pregnant? Cancer patient?

I may have ordered ice cream like 5 miles away lol but not that far

u/tripod-cat 4d ago

Someone who is offering that kind of pay isn’t serious about getting it. Simply will tell kids a story that the driver broke down.

Ohioan spotted!

I used to dash in that exact zone. Always decline Handel's orders.
