So I’m doordashing like usual, and I get a Pizza Hut order, as I’m about to pick my order. I get a call from someone posing as DoorDash support. They said that the customer that I’m going to drop off the food off too is cursing drivers out and trying to fight them so they want to cancel my order because of how problematic they are. I’m fairly new to doordashing so I didn’t think nothing of it. The customer was also cursing me out via DoorDash messaging system. The guy on the phone proceeds to tell me stay on the line he’s gonna get my order cancelled and also compensate me for risking my safety and also wasting my time. I’m like bet, I’m getting 20-40$ for free. One thing leads to another the order gets cancelled. ( the customer and this guy in the phone are both in cahoots, when the customer cancelled the order the doordash support poser says it should be cancelled now) it was very hard to figure out this was a scam because this was so elaborate. Then the guy sends me a DoorDash help link to verify my email and OTP code. This phishing website I didn’t realize at the time looked so realistic http ://dasherhelpsection.com/verify I didn’t think nothing of it. But the guy was telling me how a lot of dashers gets logged out throughout this process and not to worry. I get logged out and I try to log back in and it says my email doesn’t exist. I look through my emails I see email has been changed for your dasher account. Phone number has been changed for your dasher account. Then I realized this was a scam and I quickly called doordash support. 4 days later I finally got my account back but they were able to steal my hard earned money 😭😭. The social engineering skills the guy on the phone with me working with the customer. Just everything was so elaborate. Scams are getting scary now a days. Be careful yall

The last couple times I have ordered DoorDash I notice none of the dashers are following the drop off notes. At first, I wrote in the drop off notes “please leave food by garage door” and every dasher has put it by my front door. I even changed the directions to make it clearer “please leave order by garage door and NOT the front door. Thank you!” Same thing, it’s all dropped off at the front door. Edit: my dogs go crazy when it’s dropped off at the front door and it takes them a while to calm down.

I myself was a dasher for a couple months in between jobs and I know those directions are shown when you pick up the food AND right before drop off. I don’t know if this has been updated since then where dashers can’t see those directions anymore cuz it’s every time. It is dropped off in the correct location when I message them directly while they’re waiting for my order.

Has there been an update where dashers can’t see the drop off notes anymore or is this just not following directions. I don’t want to affect peoples ratings if they literally can’t see those notes anymore.

I felt so bad that I'm actually going back to the clients house to fix the orders which is 25 minutes away

Pizza hut, petsmart, and beau Thai and some chipotles are all requiring ID for pickup in my market starting a few days ago

I know some drivers might be annnoyed by this but i am actually all for this. Too many people renting accounts, using multiple phones and stealing food in my market.

spoiler/ trigger warning -s*xual event described* Hey Ya’ll, gonna try to keep this as clean as possible. Took a 7/11 delivery around 2am for a person living at an apartment complex right around the corner from where I live. When I pulled up in front, I seen a woman sticking her head out the window of the second floor, thought it may have been my customer but blew it off and continued to the left side of the building to the entrance per the instructions. I got buzzed in and walked up towards the second floor, and went right to the area of the building in which the person who had their head out was. As I approached the door a young attractive woman (early to mid 20s) opened the door completely nude. Well she wasn’t alone, her boyfriend was behind her and they were in the middle of the act. They stood halfway in the hall and halfway in the apartment, and were clearly an exhibitionist couple. This went on for about a minute before she wanted the boyfriend to 💦 on her face and chest. Again sorry if this is too much detail for some, but I’m still trying to process what the hell I just witnessed. I’ve heard stories of women showing up at the door nude but this was honestly just next level stuff. They made mention of a tip while this was going on and delivered on that. My only reply was yes a tip is most certainly involved right now 😂. Anyways I gotta out of there with my mind blown. I suspect this is far from their first time doing this. For the record I have no intention on reporting them or anything like that. I’m curious how my fellow dashers would have handled and reacted in a situation like this that you did not ask to be put in, yet found yourself in all of a sudden. I’m sure they would have never have done this if the dasher was a woman. This happened around what would have been my 900th delivery. At the bare least I got an interesting story to tell so I gotta at least thank them for that. Cheers

So I don’t make 20k a week like most of yall on dd 🤪 so this isn’t for the ones who say every order isn’t worth it my zone isn’t that great. Got a 10 mile order for $11 I just took it after delivery I decided to see if support would give more. I wrote support an said can I get extra compensation since I now have to drive the 8 miles back to my zone they gave an extra $6. Got another higher mile order did the same thing and they gave me extra money to drive back to my zone. Just leaving this here for the ones who take higher mile deliveries support will give u half the original pay for the ride back if u ask

how are yall cherry picking such high paying offers when those tips tend to be hidden? i see screenshots of people completing 4 offers and ending up with 75-100$
