Its always the customers that dont tip that talk disrespectful

They were out if the mixed bagged onions and peppers so i asked if she wanted a combination of each and she told me to "please dont mess her order up". Its like dude im trying to make your order better... and to not tip on top of that is crazy. Then asks me if i got the other stuff she wanted. Like yes thats how doordash works idiot...

how is it fair customers can accuse you of food never being delivered??

this is the first time in my life i ever received such low ratings that i’ve never delivered food. never once has my platinum dropped and now im afraid ill be low soon. i do all the right things like taking photos of the house number along with the food being right there. why can’t we ever be able to dispute these things??

Accident while driving - being sued for personal injury

I wanted to make some extra money, and I started Doordashing for a few weeks last year. I didn't realized that I was supposed to contact my insurance to add that coverage. On 12/24/25 I was involved in an accident while I was delivering my last order of the day. The accident was my fault. We exchanged insurance info, a cop came but didn't do a report because they were not injuries and the cars were drivable. A few days later my insurance let me know that they wouldn't cover the claim and to contact doordash. Doordash said they would cover the other vehicle. I never did doordash again because my car ended up with $7k worth of damage (my car isn't worth that much), fastfoward to 5/20/26 and I got a letter on my door from an injury lawyer, I'm getting sued. Has anyone experienced this? what's the worst case scenario? Would doordash help with the suit?

Total will be higher

So the offer was $7.50+. The total ended up being $13.00. DD paid $3 & the tip was $10. But why does DD do this? Why not just say $13?

Tried Calling Support and the Automated Agent said it’s outside their hours?

Has anyone experienced this; trying to speak to a human and the automated agent says it’s outside their hours? I thought human support was 24/7?

On Time Rate - It's WAY too aggressive now.

In this last week, I’ve been getting dinged over and over, and it’s completely dangerous and BS. If this keeps happening, I can kiss Platinum goodbye, which is sadly very important in my market.

Reasons I have been marked “Late” recently:

  • Restaurant delays. You get there and they tell you, “Oh, it will just be a couple minutes.” LATE.
  • Apartment complexes with multiple stories. LATE.
  • Traffic? LATE.
  • A red light that takes too long? Congrats, you are LATE.

I could go on and on. I even do all the things you’re supposed to do to prevent being late. I click the “What’s causing your wait?” button when I arrive. I hit the “?” at the top and put “Order has long wait time,” and I even inform the customer. I do it by the book. It doesn’t matter, though. None of it matters. If you are even one minute late, you get dinged. It’s ridiculous.

It’s only a matter of time before people start getting kicked out of Platinum and realize their income is being threatened, and that they feel pressured to break traffic laws. Even worse, it’s only a matter of time before a car accident eventually happens.

Feel bad for the company that ordered this catering gig

It's one thing to order breakfast for yourself and not get your latte and muffin cause it was a low offer, but it has to stink for a company that orders catering, no ability to tip on the Duck Donuts site, so it's DD super low catering base pay. I wouldn't take a regular order for $8 to go 10 miles. And this needs to be set up? Anyone taking this will be filled with regret.

1 am delivery - can’t stand rude customers

I just pulled up to an address with no lights on and no house number anywhere in sight. I open the app to see if there’s any description, and am greeted by this lovely customer.

u/Noahify — 19 hours ago

if it’s fine, then why are you messaging me? 💀

For reference, this place seals the drinks and desserts into bags, so I had no way of knowing if the drink was in there or not. I could tell the bag was way too light for two ice creams and a drink so i asked if the concrete mixers were in there or not

Can't ever win

I often get "wow you got here fast", but I don't multi app because UE sucks in my preferred area. However this is starting to become a common complaint because apparently the app is telling customers it will take hours for shop and deliver. I've had issues previously because a different upset customer couldn't get a refund for me being earlier than they wanted so they claimed their entire order was spoiled which gave me a cv that I fought and easily won.

Can't please anyone anymore apparently

As doordash drivers, we cannot grind coffee. Customer tried to request me to ask me to do that this morning.

For those of us that do a lot of shop and deliver orders, this is a first for me. I had a customer request that I grind some whole bean coffee.

So this time I had a grocery store staff member do it, but only this one time, and then I sent the customer a very long note explaining that Doordash drivers are not allowed to grind coffee because this involves opening the bag and is a food safety violation.

So if you happen to ever get this request from a customer, remember that you can't do it because you can't open the bag.

Fk you Sumir

So I never expect tips or even additional tips. I accept what I accept and roll with it.

Today I accepted a stacked offer for $16 going 13 miles. The first drop off was a normal sized order for someone having lunch. Cool beans. The second order was a heavy ass large order going to the third floor of an office building with a winding maze hallway that took forever to navigate. Still, I digress.

I hand the order to the receptionist, who was incredibly kind. I’m happy with what I’m making (wish it was more since there was unknown traffic and who doesn’t like getting more money) but as I go to drive off the secretary runs out and stops me.

I ask her if there was a problem and she tells me no and for me to wait right there. She goes inside and comes back out to tell me she went in to gather cash from everyone for a tip for me but then tells me her boss (Sumir) stopped her and told her he was sending me a big additional tip right now. She asks me “did you get it yet? He JUST sent it over to you!!”

I tell her no and that it can sometimes take a couple of minutes and she happily says okay, thanks me for my service, and goes back in to join their company party that I brought the food for.

Twenty minutes goes by and I ask DoorDash if they see any additional tips from that order. They tell me no there isn’t any. It’s been hours now. No added tip. I didn’t expect one and I never expect a tip but why would you stop someone from giving someone a cash tip to tell them that you’re giving an additional tip and then never come through? Who hurt you Sumir?

Maybe he’s busy and will add it later but he did say he already sent it through so I’m not holding my breath. The end.

Edit to add: he didn’t leave any tip to begin with. The other order and base pay carried his order for him. Just saying.
