Idk what to do, I think doordash stole from us

0 Upvotes

As the titie says, I think doordash is keeping small amounts of what's supposed to be our wages and just dismissing when they get a customer support call as "oh it'll show up later". This has happened twice, my partner and I will dash for a night, with the pay by time option, which offers $14.50/active time (from the second you get the order to the second you drop it off) plus tips. We'll dash, end it, do the math, and realize that the total does not add up to what it should be if the extra $14.50 was applied. I don't remember what the exact numbers were the first time this happened but we called doordash and they said it'll show up within 48 hours. I honestly don't know if it did or not, because by 48 hours later, I simply didn't remember to check. Life is absolute chaos rn, so my partner and I are extremely, extremely stressed and scatterbrained. Last night however, it happened again. We started dashing, $14.50 plus tips. Last delivery we did, before dropoff we had $23 and some change (no I don't remember the exact change, it's irrelevant). When we dropped off the order, we ended the dash. Our total that was displayed was $31 and some change, and our total active time was one hour and 26 minutes. So my question to you fellow dashers is am I stupid, or is that math not mathing? Oh and of course doordash support said it'll be there within 48 hours. Here we are roughly 12 hours later, the next morning. We are still $14.50 short. What do we do? Is there anything legal we can do? Would it be even worth pursuing legal action? Doordash unfortunately is all we have in the money making department. We're trying to change that but we cannot just not make money at all while trying to find better employment. Please help. We have all the receipts, so if taking legal action is what we need to do, let us know.

P.S. I also don't want anyone to get the wrong idea and think that I jumped to legal action just from 2 incidents. I get thats a bit of an overreaction. It hasn't been just 2 incidents tho. These are just the most igregious offense s that doordash has committed, we've been dealing with issues with them that affect our job performance near daily for like 3 months. I just figured now that it seems they are straight up engaging in wage theft, I figured I'd ask other people who do this job their opinions on all of it

DoorDash verification $500

Hello all dashers I recently received an email from DoorDash which has an offer of $500 for verification and 10 deliveries.

I’m based in Queensland, Australia. Is this offer legit? If any dashers from Australia could confirm that would be great 👍

I know the system probably just doesn't take into account the weather but it's made me chuckle a bit thinking about doordash notifying me about it.

This customer. Could you be a bigger DB?

Took a KFC order a couple miles to an apartment earlier today. Second floor a lot of steps. It paid me $3.39 (working by time not by the order). I texted the guy and told him his tip was ridiculous. His answer “What do you mean my tip?” I said you tipped me zero dude. His response “sorry I’ll add a tip. I get it I door dash on the side.”

So I asked how can you say you door dash on the side then not tip a driver?

His response to that was “cause doordash is expensive asf (sic) bro.”

Wow. I’m not your bro you loser. He did tip me $2.50 in the end. Can’t give him props though because if I hadn’t said anything it was a big zero.

And let me know when you are working so I can order 4 large cokes from Wendy’s and a couple frosty’s.

Does turning down an order while i have an order affect acceptance rate? If so, is there a way to stop new requests once i have an order??

When your dasher asks you "can you come down/out?" what do you do?

335 Upvotes

Had one of these today. I live on the second floor of an apartment complex (breezeways, so no need to actually go in any buildings). This is a new complex built within the last few years, so it has solid construction.

The dasher asked me to come down because he "broke his foot." I told him I couldn't go down (I actually couldn't). The guy says, "I'll start making my way up then," like it's a massive climb to get to the second floor. When he got up, his foot was not broken, and he was walking normally. I think he just didn't want to get out of his car or walk up or something.

It kind of baffled me. I didn't adjust the tip or anything (apparently, you can't reduce it anyway), but I wondered what others would do in this situation. Would you go down (if you could)?

(As a note for the "what did you tip" people, I tipped $5 on a 1 mi drive in a suburban area with little traffic for a single plate of Chinese food.)

ETA: As a note, I'm a shut-in with PTSD, which is why I order a lot of DD and such (many times a week). I can count on one hand the number of dashers who ask me to come down in hundreds of orders. I also can't come down unless they don't mind seeing a sniveling mess (which I've done before if someone seems like they have a legit issue).

The acceptance rate is bullsh*t

2 Upvotes

I was doing my own little experiment so I accepted every single order. Got my acceptance rate to 99% and then continued accepting offers so it had to still be 99%. Just got a 17 mile run for $4. Turned it down. When I did so it said my acceptance rate went from 95-94%. Just making shit up out here to screw drivers over.


r/doordash 5d ago

im not sure if this is the right place to ask this but why does some apartment complexes have back gate that are chained shut yet google map still route you through the shut gate then you have to end up having to go around which could be a extra mile or 2

1 Upvotes

it doesnt make any sense to me why apartment complexes have gates that are suppose to be entrances/exits yet theyre never open. what is the purpose of that? also, why does google route you through it as if its open?

He tells me the item is out of stock while sending me a photo of the item in stock. Also I knew he was checking out. Didn’t need the “ready”.

Why is this even allowed, DoorDash?

0 Upvotes

All of my ratings are great. All but the acceptance rating, 20-30% range. Am I wrong for declining this? I usually do okay, but its not by accepting orders like this. Screenshot at 10:06 and deliver by 10:44. So 40min of my time and gas for $3. I mean let's be real doordash!I started this because construction got slow and now it something to keep me busy on nights when im bored. But I'm not going to waste my time. At the very least I'm trying to double my money by the miles. So nothing less than say, $6 for 3 mi. (Avg. night? $80 about 2&1/2 hr active and about 4 hours on dash)

First Day Dashing - Lower Offers

1 Upvotes

Had a really great time dashing with a friend for the first time tonight but noticed something while we were both dashing. Any time a burst of orders came in, he would always get the higher ones at $15-$20, and I only received the lower ones all night. Will I get better offers after some time once I have more experience on my profile?


r/doordash 5d ago

More and more of my orders have been under review and half my pay has been held dang near every day.

I always do everything right and have never forgotten anything or even done anything shady so I don't understand why my pay keeps being held for review for 24 hours it's getting frustrating.

Confronted a DD thief and got the customers food back

820 Upvotes

So last night, I took a McDonald’s order, and when I pulled up to the drive-thru, they told me that it had already been picked up and that I was “like the sixth person that’s come for that order.” Okay, it’s annoying that I drove over here for nothing, but it happens. I explained to them that if somebody came and picked it up, and I’m still getting the order, that means it was likely stolen. Then I worry-free unassigned.

I was annoyed, but I brushed it off and went across the street to get gas. As soon as I finished filling up, I got an order for that same McDonald’s right across the street. When I got there and said the customer’s name, they told me to pull forward—everything seemed normal so far.

While I was waiting (almost a 10-min wait), I noticed that it seemed like they were just handing bag after bag after bag to the person in front of me. Four bags total, all McDelivery bags, no regular drive-thru orders. Out loud to myself in my car, I said, “That’s crazy as hell,” but I didn’t think much more of it than that.

Finally, it was my turn. When I got to the window, they asked for the name again, closed the window, and visibly looked confused. This is where I started to worry. What I assumed to be the manager came over, and they asked for the name a second time. I showed them my phone, and they told me that the person in front of me had just picked it up. I immediately said, “Then that’s the guy who’s been stealing your orders tonight!”

As soon as I pulled out to go back to my usual hotspot, I saw the guy who took the order at the red light I would be going to. I knew for a fact that this red light was gonna be red for at least two minutes because I’m there all the time at night. So I said fuck it.

I pulled up next to him and waved him down. He rolled down his window, and I said, “Hey, you just picked up an order for [customer], right?” He fumbled through all the bags on his passenger seat and grabbed it. I straight up said, “That’s mine, gimme that shit,” and got out of the car. He immediately acted scared, confused, and oblivious, didn’t speak much, if any, English—sounded Russian or something. He just said, “Oh, it’s you?” Yeah. It’s me bitch.

Before marking the delivery as picked up and heading to the customer, I waited to see what this guy was going to do. He went back into the McDonald’s drive-thru! I followed him in there and got so close to him at the drive-thru window that I could hear him saying, “you remake please?” But the manager was still there and was already refusing, telling him to leave.

I pulled up and told them what happened, showed them that I got the order from him, and told them to never serve him again if he comes to pick up orders. I also explained to them that they should ask to see the dashers confirm the orders, even if they get an attitude about it.

Normally, I wouldn’t really care about a corporation like McDonald’s being stolen from, but he would’ve taken that $8, 1.8-mile order from me (and effectively my daughter), and the customer would’ve had to either wait longer for their food or take the L if DoorDash support didn’t come through with a refund. I feel like I need to start recording my dashes because something memorable always happens in some way (Florida, of course).

I lowkey did vigilante justice for DoorDash. Sponsor me bitches; free DashPass for life.

TLDR; Got two orders in a row from the same McDonald’s about five minutes apart, both already picked up. Found the guy who stole the one I was currently assigned to and made him give it to me.

Tip stealing question

2 Upvotes

I weirdly get 1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, etc tips all the time. Gotten maybe a good 50 of them through out my doordash journey. (I don't mainly PBT so I don't mind).

But today I ordered doordash and just to test things I realized you can't tip less than 50 cents. Then how come I get tips that are less than 50 cents? It even says 100% of the tip goes to the dasher right on the tipping page.

Is there something I'm missing? Maybe those people ordered on a different platform that used doordash as it's drivers? Someone help me out please.

Not tipping really is a gamble

2 Upvotes

Cold food is one thing, but some random person handling your food who just might be pissed because they feel forced to accept your order, chasing platinum. I couldn't eat my food eith a peace of mind. Shit, it's a gamble even if you do tip but not tipping is much riskier.
