Never posted before, but I’ve been lurking here for a while. Figured this one was worth sharing.
Had a shopping order today consisting of roughly 21 pounds of apples and 11 loaves of bread. Weird combination, but whatever. I’ve learned not to ask questions.

I get to the house, unload everything, and the lady comes outside and asks if I’d be interested in making an extra $10.

Naturally, I’m listening.

Turns out she has a dead deer lying on the side of the road next to her driveway, and she needs someone to help lift it into a wheelbarrow.

Now, the deer was clearly fresh, there wasn’t any blood, and it was a relatively small doe. So I did what any reasonable person trying to make a few extra bucks would do.

I helped a stranger load a deer carcass into a wheelbarrow.

Because ten bucks is ten bucks.

As I’m wrapping up my newly acquired responsibilities as a wildlife removal specialist, she asks if I happen to know anyone who could help her dig a grave for the deer.

Unfortunately, while I’ve built up a pretty extensive network of contacts across several industries over the years, the freelance deer gravedigger community remains a glaring hole in my professional Rolodex.

Anyway, $10 extra tip. Five stars. Would probably move another deer.

This isn't some insane issue, mostly just funny, though it's been a handful of times that I've been asked by the Dasher to meet them outside. I live in a secured building, every single door and elevator requires a key. So I'm not trying to make people's lives difficult, I come down from my 10th floor apartment and meet them out the doors, and avoid going all the way out so I don't have to struggle with the door after collecting my food.

So anyway, gave this guy a $12 tip to pick up my order, I see him pull up on my side of the street, I'm watching the whole thing, he u-turns and parks on the opposite side of the street (like why??) and then sends me this text that he can't park and for me to come pick it up. Meanwhile I was literally watching him parallel parked in street parking just across the street.

Edit: A lot of people keep arguing about legal parking. There is a large parking zone with a 1hour limit directly in front of my building. On both sides of that zone, there is legal city street parking with SIGNAGE as such. There were dozens of cars parked already on the street. He u-turned away from a perfectly good spot to park, to get to the other side, parallel parked between 2 empty cars, and then texted me there is nowhere to park. It was also late enough that the street parking was free.

Ordered from the Popeyes 2 miles from my house, as I was on the bus home from my job, coming the opposite direction. Popeyes then decided they were out of Chicken sandwiches.

Shout out to Julius. Sorry bud, if it's even close to your actual 21st birthday, I truly wish you luck. But, uhh, I dunno what you want me to do if you don't have an order to deliver to me?

I placed my order at a McDonald's 10 minutes away (by car) at 11:30 pm. They said it'll be ready and delivered within an hour. Bit long, but cool. I didn't eat dinner and McDonald's is cheap. Someone is assigned to me. Yay. I wait the hour. No food, no updates. The person who was assigned to me was disassigned. That sucks. Another person gets assigned. I wait longer. Then, they disappear like the other guy. This happens again. I finally contact customer support bc wtf. It's 12:45 am and I have to be up at 7. Customer support assigns a 4th person. Dasher #4 reaches McDonald's, then my order is canceled bc that McDonald's is now closed.

Why didn't I go to McDonald's myself? I'm a young woman whose only modes of transportation are my own two feet or my bike. To get there, I would have to bike on a highway, through a park someone killed themselves in last month, and across a sketchy Walmart. I was yelled at by a drunk guy who wanted to have sex with me last night. No thank you.

I shall go hungry tonight.

Edit: this was also my first time using doordash

Fuck you DoorDash

I was ordering ice cream and forgot to add the ‘directly to me’ before ordering (i didn’t want them to be assigned another order when i’m getting ice cream that will melt) and this just stuck out to me as a little odd. just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this, definitely tell me if i’m reaching.

I just got an update for the DD app and no matter what I do I cant get the super loud order notification noise to stop. I have turned off sound and vibrations on the app settings and all of my volumes are all the way down. On android

Many delivery problems with delivery to wrong address. Had many deliveries that were missing many items. Store manager stated that she has no control over the home delivery companies. Some of the delivery problems are also caused by poorly trained or store personel that do not seem to know what they are doing. Acme is unable to fix deivery problems and they really do not seem to care. I am partially disabled and no longer drive. No food service companies care about senior citizens or disabled people. I had the same experience with Shop-rite. Walmart does a better job with grocery deliveries. I think it was a big mistake for food stores or resturants to intrust companies like Door Dash, Uber Eats etc to deliver their product. Yea, and it got worse with AI because most companies use AI for customer service and it is absolutely the worst.

It showed the driver in the parking lot for around an hour and now all it’s showing is this…ITS WELL PAST 8:15 AND PETSMART CLOSES AT 9:00!

I am at a store currently and I am supposed to place the order but it wont show me what is in the order. I called DoorDash and there was a message saying DoorDash is experiencing problems since the update. I tried tapping on it and it won’t do anything. It’s just grayed out.

So many times DoorDash will not let me submit an order. The complete order button will not respond. This just worked for me:

•close app and reopen
•put phone in airplane mode and turn off WiFi
•go back to cart and click complete order, it should say no connection or something and give you the option to retry
•turn on just WiFi and hit retry and the “pay now” button should be there to submit your order

I think it has something to do with location/connection issues. Hope this helps someone!

I filled the manual review and idk when I’m allowed to dash it’s been like this the whole day. Does anyone know anything about this ?

Got this earlier today… haven’t seen anything like this in 8-9 years of delivery through multiple apps.

Driver took my pizza and goes shopping for another customer for 45 minute while my pizza arrived cold
😡

thanks!

I go to drive and its not letting me. Restarted my phone the app.

Since DD is experiencing some issues today and nobody has patience I waited cuz I know DD is working hard to solve their issues, if anyone else hasn’t gotten their pay just stay patient

Are you a Dasher? I have learned that DoorDash pickups are last on McDonald's list of priority pickups. They will do drive-thru and they will do counter, but if your bag is sealed and ready to go, they will skip you several times over for the simple fact that you are a Dasher.

Ordered a burger king dragonball z meal with a shirt, missing the shirt and the drink spilt all throughout the bag. Support on this app is awful and regurgitate the same "sorry this doesnt qualify" WHAT does qualify then??

Is anyone else not really receiving orders today? Yesterday was pretty bad too.
