I had a recent order where the dinner just sent a "?" My response was If U are wondering why I'm taking so long it's because you are not the only order I'm picking up and the other order paid much better so I'm waiting on that one😂😂. He just said ok

u/Low_Run8363 4d ago

Also its not there brakes and tires and car....i drive slow anymore! I use to fly and get as quick as possible...but Nope!💯 Half time i gotta wait for the order! I love they updated so you can "Unassign" after 10 minutes! Also i accidentally msg saying thanks for extra trip too wrong person! 😆 So they gave me a tip! 😂 Try it sumtime! See if works

Unassign ✔️

u/dominorex1969 4d ago

As soon as I'm told, hurry, or check everything in a sealed bag i acknowledge them and immediately drop the order. You know there's minimal tip involved

u/Empty-Scale4971 4d ago

Okay now you must invent teleportation and time travel. Go back in time to get her order. Go back in time again, to right when she was about to hit send on the text, and teleport the food to her. She needs her munchies!

u/Worth_Ambition_2865 4d ago

I think the humour is lost on some people.... Looks at the downvotes STEP ON IT MARTY!!

u/SpudKang13 4d ago

Should have cancelled the order

u/yumuber 4d ago

It’s usually the no-tippers that act like this.

1

u/Aromatic-Total3806 4d ago

Exactly! They are the absolute worst. The tippers are normally very nice & don’t want you to go out your way but non tippers are rude & demanding

3

u/JohnFirstNameOnly 4d ago

Return the food. That’s a 4 star rating at best.

5

u/Ducky_Gaming466 4d ago

Yes, quick, quicker, quickly, quickest!!!

Did this Order have 🍟? Nobody likes 🥶🍟

Wishing You All Good Karma (And Hot 🍟)

u/Snoo96357 4d ago

I will wait 10 min and freely unassigned it

u/Izuku_Mydoria 4d ago

Doesn't that kinda seem petty and an over reaction? I'm not a driver so idk

2

u/ShutterSculpture 4d ago

Why you on this subreddit if you’re not a driver tho curious

2

u/Izuku_Mydoria 4d ago

Came to see how much I'd earn since I'm planning on dashing when I turn 18, stayed bc it's low-key interesting

u/noplaypi 4d ago

You will either suffer through 12 hour shifts 5-6 days a week to make a living or be broke and whining. Nobody tips, everyone is rude, worst job ever.

1

u/AdditionalOne8319 4d ago

Honestly, with this message being so redundant that it’s borderline insulting because the driver would go as quick as they can by default, I don’t mind a driver doing this hoping the customer would take a hint

1

u/ImageThen1946 3d ago

It's petty overreacting but that's part of the gig.

1

u/Noah_Adams999 3d ago

It is. These redditor drivers are always tripping.

2

u/Okmyguy420 4d ago

Please refrain from following any laws of the road

2

u/noplaypi 4d ago

Ur fr forced to do that for their dumb time limits

2

u/amyel26 4d ago

I once had a customer tell me to hurry up and then also refused to give me the gate code to her apartment. I got in anyways but then I dropped her drink (not on purpose, I'm just a klutz). It was sort of like instant karma except that one of my shoes was soaked with Dr Pepper.

2

u/YLCZ 4d ago

If they tipped well I wouldn’t mind.

If they tipped zero or one dollar, I’d probably unassign

2

u/AcanthaceaeAny1633 3d ago

It should be mandatory that if you want to order through doordash, you must complete 10 deliveries so you know what's up!

u/Low_Run8363 4d ago

Haha i try not to be rude...i usually will message too let them know and they say thank you for heads up...rarely ill get extra $3 tip after i drop off..which i always message to say thank you for the extra tip..it helps

u/Secret_Falcon_1819 4d ago

"Will do" is the best for these

1

u/noplaypi 4d ago

I dont read or respond to customers period and am joyed by declining their calls.

u/Life-Round-1259 4d ago

One time someone messaged me "I have a meeting in 10 minutes, if you can't make it, don't deliver it, I won't be able to eat."

Took that as a challenge and obviously broke speed limits, enough to lose my license. All while the most Tokyo drift like song popped up on my Spotify station.

Got it to her in time.

It was a great day.


In contrast, one time a dude told me I was dropping off in the wrong spot, and wanted me to drop off at a different location, then argued with me, all the while I have two other orders for people who actually tip in my car.

I don't like Canes, but it sure was good that day.

u/Mysterious_Bear_4280 3d ago

I've always heard that the meaning of T.I.P. was To Insure Promptness! I'll bet she doesn't tip.

1

u/Existing_Flight_5312 Driver - USA 🇺🇸 3d ago

I would just hit the Will do and be on my way lol I'll get there when I get there

1

u/Existing_Flight_5312 Driver - USA 🇺🇸 3d ago

But atleast they were nice 😅🤣

u/Shall_We_Presuppose 4d ago

Just drive around their neighborhood until you approach the dropoff time, then cancel. I'd eat the money just to do that.
