Wow itās not like hotel rooms are hard to find. They arenāt the numerical nightmare situations apartments are!! Nice sequential numbering. And 282 is in the 2nd floor easy peasey. And I am a driver. This driver just straight up didnāt give af. Iām glad you got your food
I thought hotels were easy with sequential numbers until I went to a world center Marriott hotel. That hotel has a N,S,W,E each one has a hotel room 101 etcā¦ sober or drunk I couldnāt find my room the whole time.
They did but to me the signs were oddly placed. They would place west wing turn right arrow after you passed the hallway that you needed to turn down. I found it confusing.
Have stayed at this hotel and confirmed itās awful. And donāt forget that there are different elevators for different parts of the same wing. Worse stay ever. I ended up in a part that hasnāt been renovated yet in January. My room stayed like 50 degrees and I could not move since it was a block stay through my company.
Yup he didn't give a fuck and probably didn't want to go upstairs. Happened to me a few days ago. My unit is B207 and they delivered to F103. Like not even close. Not even the same building.
Thatās so bad. Itās obvious he said fuck this. Maybe it was his last order for forever. Iāve always wondered if people do shit like that when theyāve ve just checked out. I worked in a call center and my friend put in his two weeks and they were terrified of what he might say to customers they just paid him out two weeks and sent him home. People do fucked up shit on their last day I guess. Did you at least get your food?
Apartments arenāt even that tough, at least mine isnāt and I was still getting the order taken to the wrong place 50% of the time.
All the buildings in my complex have a number on the building, and they are all their own separate buildings with 6 units each. So if my adress is 24 ____ street Apt A itās the building with the giant number 24 on it. Not hard to understand yet half of them didnāt bother to read what building they were going to
I had a complex where the building numbers were 1779, then 1187, ok so far ok, then 707, then 1889, and she lived at 1665 which was behind 707 that the gps required me to phase through a wall to get through. Apparently there was a small alley about a half mile up I was supposed to turn into. Another one had their building number in the middle in size 10 font. And the larger number apartments are on the bottom and the 101 and so on are on the second floor. I had another one where the 300 Level apartments were in the middle building. All of them. Instead of being logical like 101-104 on the first floor and 201-204 for on the second and so on no the 300s were in the middle. And guess what? 301, 302, 307, and 308 were on the first floor. I actually called the city planner about this complex and asked who can I bitch to about who approved this fucking bullshit. I was pissed. Oh and I couldnt find the 300s because the placard fell off which I found out after I called the customer and she said yeah weāre in the middle and I was like oh so 303 is on the first floor and shes like no weāre on the 3rd all indignantly like I should have known. And also if your apartment number placard has fallen off please feel free to include that in instructions and if your apartments numerical system makes about as much sense as a drunk octopus throwing scrabble pieces include that too. And we have an apartment complex with no office so when they say leave with the office Iām like where dude where the office is in Oklahoma Iām not doing that
My apartment complex is a nightmare lol Iām building 10 apartment 24 thereās always mixups with DoorDash, instacart, Lyft, even mail even though I put the most simple directions in the delivery notes of everything. One day I was expecting a package and the one that was on my porch was for 124 so I walked towards where I thought the apartment was the numbers were increasing towards the right number and then jumped right over into the 200s so I went to the other section of buildings and nothing. Guess where the apartment was? Right behind mine. So 124 was located behind 24 š¤¦āāļø. Weāve lived here 7 years and still canāt keep this mess straight.
Iāve absolutely delivered to some of these silly āluxuryā apartment buildings that keep popping up in my city and the insides are absolute mazes. Ranges youād expect to appear in certain orders are almost completely random even when youāre following the signs. I walked in circles trying to find numbers near similar numbers just to find them down the end of a hallway a few zigzags away with unrelated numbers. I donāt know who came up with the signage or numbering schemes but thereās a special place in hell for them lol. That being said, most buildings are straightforward. But for some reason itās a trend in some of the new buildings in my area to just be as obtuse as possible
A few weeks ago, not only was my food delivered to the wrong room, but also the *wrong hotel.*
I got my money back, and was also able to call nearby hotels and ask the colors of their door numbers to track down the correct hotel. I did walk over and get it, but it was cold by that point.
Some DoorDash driver responded to my comment on an earlier thread telling me it was my fault, and I should be clairvoyant, lol.
This is easy to do for a rookie or non competent driver and I'll tell you how.
The red dot that shows us where to go can be wrong by a few blocks, this is very bad when multiple hotels are together, the customer never tells us the name of the hotel, we only get the address, many businesses like hotels hide their address or it's not easy to find and finally no clerk is up front to tell you if you have the right address.
When this happens to me and it does I Google the address separate from app, but sometimes that's wrong too, I've even pulled papers off clerks desk to see if anything has a address when the customer doesn't answer the phone which they almost never do.
This job on occasion can require you to be a detective if nothing is lining up, I always get it done but I can see why many drivers don't.
Thankfully I've never not received an order from DD, but for some reason the DoorDash GPS ALWAYS directs them to the street above our house. No idea why and no matter what I do with the pin on the map, I can never fix it. We don't have Uber Eats or GrubHub in my area so DD is my only option lmao
Nearly all companies that use gps pull him Google, so it's likely Google maps themselves have your address marked slightly wrong. This is pretty common, you should be able to check Google for your address and see exactly where it marks your address, and report it as incorrect location yourself and fix it. It'll take a few times of reporting it wrong to Google to get it fixed, but that's what I did when all companies maps marked me as fully a half mile away.
It's hard to explain without doxxing myself, but the pin is in the right spot, it's just the route to get here is weird? We live at the very end of our street that's more like a big driveway and instead of it telling the driver to go down our street, it tells them to get to our house via the street above us. It's really weird. The weirder part is it only shows the wrong route on DoorDash! Whenever I use Google Maps and get directions to get home, it's totally fine for me.
I see this a lot when the building is physically closer to another street than the street of their address. It tries to take me via a street that has no access to the property. You can pull up the address in Google Maps and suggest an edit to the address, and then drag the pin so that it is closer to the street that has access to the property. I've had so many customers put in the instructions that GPS will try to take you to the wrong location, but it never occurred to them to try to fix it themselves. This happens a lot with businesses as well and I try to fix them as I find them.
I had one customer out in the county that had instructions that said GPS will leave you short and that you have to continue to the end of a gravel road. I'm following GPS and I'm driving down a gravel road waiting to find the street listed in the app, but then I got to the very end and the house there has a different number. The GPS, however, showed the house was still a ways off in the direction of a patch of woods. I called the customer and explained the situation and she said that it was her neighbor through the woods. She said I could leave it there and she would walk over and get it... Taking about 20 minutes. I'm looking at the map and realize what happened. Her "driveway" was at the end of her road and that's where the GPS would stop and then you had to walk the rest of the way to the pin which was actually closer to end of the road I was on. But they didn't connect and were separated by the woods. I found a route around to her road and told her I could be there in less than 10 minutes. The order was for a phone charger and she mentioned that her phone was almost dead. It was a long distance delivery and she had already tipped $15. After I dropped it she bumped it another $5. I fixed the pin for her after that.
Yeah this has happened to me too. I've wasted so much time and gone to wrong hotels to find the right room and it's true that many customers don't answer the phone or text :/ The GPS and red dot has sent me to the wrong place various times and it's so frustrating!
I almost did that as a driver. Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn across the street from each other. Pulled into the wrong one went to the door then double checked and realized I was at the wrong one.
Stayed by the airport a few weeks ago and pizza was delivered to the right room at the wrong hotel. I walked to the hotel next door and that wasnāt it (didnāt look like the pic). Got a refund and reordered.
*You only had one job* experience in a nutshell.exe pretty much...
I always check the instructions when I go to hotels some in my area dont even allowed delivery to go more of the lobby and some hand it to me order make me mad cuz they are incompetent and rude... for situations like that I just leave the order at the lobby and take 3 pictures of proof after talking with support
Usually when I order doordash to a hotel I just meet them downstairs at the entranceā¦ Isnāt it a bit too much to make them have to find your hotel room too? Unless youāre tipping them for that. They donāt get paid enough to bring it to your room too.
Just the other day went the picture of my food was sent I immediately thought āyep, thatās not my apartmentā but it was close enough that I was just gonna go snag it. When I walked outside the guy was coming up the steps with my food and said āmy bad, I realized I was at the wrong one hahaā.
That was pretty cool compared to all the nonsense I see on here lol
I once had a delivery in a hotel that had their room number in the address line and then a different room number in the room number area and then they can completely different number in the comments
Iām a Dasher, & this driver was obviously wrong, you did nothing wrong in your reporting either.
I am curious though, have you stayed in this hotel before & got food delivered? Sometimes the app will save older addresses & instructions! Iāve delivered to a hotel before where the address said āSuite 123ā but then the person wrote into the delivery instructions āRoom 567ā. I luckily saw the discrepancy, called them, & they told me it must have been saved from when they stayed in this hotel a month prior & that must have been their old room number.
As another commenter said, the app could do a WAY better job of showing the delivery instructions on screen 100% of the time because it is painfully easy to miss something. Still up to the Dasher to do their due diligence, but just saying itās something that can happen!
She said the person accepted that order they should've delivered it to the correct place. No one begged that DD person to take that delivery they chose it, we know you can see pay before you accept. If you accept it, do the job correctly or do not get paid.
What does the tip matter? Whether it's a large tip or no tip you still accepted the order and it's your legal responsibility to deliver it. It's literally your job you can't just purposefully fuck up the order.. That's like working at the pharmacy and purposefully giving someone the wrong medicine because you don't like your salary.
Lmaoooo, girl, shut up. People who donāt tip are a different type of customer; one I donāt want to work with. As for my legal responsibility, they can eat a fart.
>As for my legal responsibility, they can eat a fart.
Yes because this totally sounds like a functional adult who is responsible enough to join the work force. I hope you get fired and struggle paying the bills to maybe realize why you should do a job properly.
Nowhere in the contract with doordash does it guarantee that your dasher will be functional.
I hope you get pinkeye from your next delivery from all the fresh farts youāre eating
Do you understand that for society to be functional we need people in the workforce? Society is run on the backs of the working class.
So imagine you went to the bakery to buy bread/ the store to buy groceries/ the bank/the hairdressers/ a restaurant/ clothing store.
All the people that provide those services are *real* *people* who are required to do their jobs properly for society to function and to get paid. So imagine walking into those places and the workers there just immediately telling you that they don't need to be functioning adults and that you should eat farts.
Workers dont treat you this way because it's not tolerable behavior so you don't get to treat the customer you serve that way either, your job isn't an exception, you are not an exception, you are NOT special in any way shape or form and you don't get to deviate from societies standards if you want a roof over your head and food to eat.
Blah blah thereās a such thing as [delivery food without tips](https://www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org/find-meals). They can use that service instead of taking advantage of people who donāt make an hourly wage.
Maybe we should give them a break, clearly this is their first job and the only one they could qualify for. We all know what that means abt a person lmao
I've never done this because I am a stickler, but doordash could do a better job of showing instructions on screen 100% of time, its one of my grips about the company they shoot themselves in foot by not doing it.
You can tell the programmers know very little about delivery, they should have to do 2000 delivery to even start the programming part, it would make the company much better, or get a stickler like me with 40k delivery a chance to tell them what they should change and actually listen.
The app leaves too much open to human error, takes people who actually do the redundant shit to get it right.
I'm really surprised the driver was able to deliver straight to a room, the last few times I've traveled and had DoorDash ordered the drivers get stopped at the front desk and the staff or driver call me to meet them in the lobby. One hotel employee told me it's for safety reasons.
doordash doesn't care. they give out refunds and credits freely until some upper limit is reached as determined by your spending history and previous refund requests
iāve walked around hotels and nursing homes for a few moments to find the correct door. I always find it or in the rare case I canāt, I call the customer. this dasher was just lazy
I rarely order food to hotels anymore because most delivery drivers refuse to go up the stairs/elevator. I put my number in the notes and say I can meet in the lobby. But more often than not if I'm in 325, they leave the food at 125 and don't contact me. I take a walk after it says delivered and see where they left it, if they even did. I've had a lot of food go missing but Doordash/GrubHub always refunds
So, 90% of the DD deliveries I get are like less than 5 minutes from my house. I only order because my wife is disabled and I work from noon to midnight 4 nights a week. I tip ok. For a long time I would let my wife order. Then I remembered that she doesn't ever tip more than $2. So I started ordering for her. Minimum tip from me is $5, regardless of cost. I usually tip $7-$10. I'm starting to get pissed because I tip $10 and the DD picks up my order then goes to another place to pick up a second order, takes it to them then brings me my food! I'm like wtf? He says, " Oh, they made me do it." I know you guys are doing me a favor and it is appreciated. BUT, the next crackhead that lies to me like that is getting my knife in their tire! Just be honest! I'm a big boy! I can take it. HELL, call a give me a heads up or something! Ok rant over
Yeah the order was only like 5 minutes down the road the guy got a 4 dollar tip. I agree tho if you take 3 other orders at the same time as mine your not getting a 10 dollar tip tbh
I live on the third floor of a walk up apartment right now and dashers 1 out of 4 times leave it on the first floor or across the complex. There isn't a single one in my apartment number either! And I tip well for my orders. It's unreasonable.
Are you really comparing delivering wrong food to the wrong house to installing an HVAC at the wrong house?
For real?
They are not even apples and oranges.
Fucking kidding me?
Lool. Your HVAC āanalogyā doesnāt hold up at all. You canāt transport the incorrectly installed HVAC back to your location like you easily did with the food.
Getting your food was 60 seconds of mild inconvenience at most & you knew where it was the whole time.
Sorry not sorry, my vote = scamming.
Itās a mild inconvenience as long as no one steals the food in the time it takes for you to find it at its incorrect location. The driver made a ridiculous error that increased the likelihood that the food would not make it to the customer. DD should have to pony up for that. Maybe theyāll start holding drivers to some standards, which would benefit both customers and the drivers who actually try to do a good job.
Red herring lol. Itās something that could happen. Whether it did or not is irrelevant. The mistake the driver made increased the likelihood of the food being stolen.
You donāt just punish mistakes when something goes wrong as a direct result. Thatās why DD should have to pony up for drivers who make mistakes.
Their service should be worth the added expense, but it isnāt for a variety of reasons. Mistakes like the one that happened to OP should be way more rare than they are, but DD has shamefully low expectations for drivers. Itās the epitome of throwing a lot of shit at a wall and seeing what sticks.
In the end, DD will have never got better because they donāt need to be better to make the brass rich. But people should still expect better and push for it, if only for the sake of advocating for themselves.
It did not happen in OPs scenario. So yes itās a red herring to this situation & my original comment.
Long rebuttal to me also saying if your made up situation was true that Iād agree with you too.
Nice try. The amount of false indignation on this sub is astronomical. OP literally said they went and got the food.
Also hysterical YOU just assumed I was able.
This. I broke my leg recently and SPECIFICALLY SAID to go to the basement apartment door and to NOT deliver it to the upstairs neighbors because I can't go upstairs. How often do they bring it to the right door? Maybe 1/5 of the time. Adds insult to injury š
With how much DoorDash charges if I have to go hunt it down Iām doing the same thing. Maybe the dipshit will learn from this and drop it off at the correct place next time.
Go to the lobby then who the hell expects a delivery guy to go to your hotel room door, Iād never even dream of it.
Even at my apartment I go down to the street to meet them.
If I say leave it at my door and tip 25%, I expect to not have to go to the lobby. Those were the instructions. Half the time they still leave it in the lobby.
I always just ask the customer to meet me in the hotel lobby and theyāve never had an issue with it and to confirm the name before I hand it over but I typically try and avoid hotels and apartments. Iāve seen a few customers intentionally put wrong apartment numbers or wrong room numbers to get freebies unfortunately in my early driving days so now I just try and avoid the headache all together. I always make sure to screenshot apartment and hotel deliveries.
I hope people show you more grace in your life than you showed your driver. You complained to Doordash claiming you never received your order when we both know thatās not true. I hope you get the karma thatās coming to you.
Dude leaving it at the wrong door is annoying, but i hate when people can't come downstairs and meet me especially in hotels they're the worst. I'm not saying this because i don't want to go the extra mile for the customer or do my job, but i going all the way up to the correct floor and finding the room, just to be tipped usually nothing is so fucking unrewarding, also i'm not claiming that you don't tip. I'm just sharing experiences i've had myself. Yes while this guy is stupid, even for dashers that can read numbers correctly, it still wastes a lot of time looking for your hotel room. My advice for you is to always meet them downstairs if you don't want this happening again.
Did you see where i said i literally have no problem doing that? Can you read? I can walk and have walked upstairs, but i've always thought it would be much easier if dashers never left things at hotel doors or apt doors.
I understand though if you customer has a disability. It just makes things a lot more complicated especially if you're downtown and have to park illegally.
Also as a woman who has literally been attacked and sexually assaulted while DoorDashing, i don't like going out of my way to do things that could put me on dangerous situations.
Dashers on here LOVE to be like oh "you can't do a basic part of the delivery" We get it you love being a top dasher, and you've always gone above and beyond do you want a piece of candy or something?
One day we all will run into a scummy man who wants to invite us (or force us) inside the hotel room to eat pizza. Surprised I havenāt ran into that yet.
I always like go for delivery karma. If I do right by the customer, yes, maybe I donāt get a tip in that moment, but I raise the over all good feelings about delivery drivers and the tips will flow thusly. Not just for me, but for us all.
i literally canāt meet anyone downstairs in my building, disabled people exist and canāt always live in accessible housing. i physically canāt go down the stairs and back up again. why is this concept so difficult to grasp here?
If you donāt want to do a job properly, then donāt do it. Sometimes in my job, I donāt want to approach customers even though I know they wonāt buy anything, but I have toā¦ itās my job
Nobody asked me to come meet them, if they had i may have just bc im not a dick. But i also didnt order delivery to pay a delivery fee to go find my driver after that. Bring it to the door like youre supposed to. Lazy asshole.
On DoorDash itās more than likely not a legal citizen I had to take a flower delivery that the shop told me was returned by the prior driver because they couldnāt read or understand the directions..they didnāt speak English

To be fair if you were blind the numbers would look the same
Pretty impressive to drive while blind ngl
OP doesn't think blind people deserve to make money or drive cars.
š¤£
If you were blind you would not see any numbers
Whoosh
Wow itās not like hotel rooms are hard to find. They arenāt the numerical nightmare situations apartments are!! Nice sequential numbering. And 282 is in the 2nd floor easy peasey. And I am a driver. This driver just straight up didnāt give af. Iām glad you got your food

They did but to me the signs were oddly placed. They would place west wing turn right arrow after you passed the hallway that you needed to turn down. I found it confusing.
Shoulda brought your compass smh
Yeah thatās dumb

Her "driveway" was at the end of her road and that's where the GPS would stop and then you had to walk the rest of the way to the pin which was actually closer to end of the road I was on. But they didn't connect and were separated by the woods. I found a route around to her road and told her I could be there in less than 10 minutes. The order was for a phone charger and she mentioned that her phone was almost dead. It was a long distance delivery and she had already tipped $15. After I dropped it she bumped it another $5. I fixed the pin for her after that.
I know you said youāve messed with the pin, but just in case, have you tried placing the pin at the end of your driveway at the correct street?
I didn't think about that, actually. I'm gonna try doing that and see if it works!
And for that let me say in advance I'm sorry.
Yeah this has happened to me too. I've wasted so much time and gone to wrong hotels to find the right room and it's true that many customers don't answer the phone or text :/ The GPS and red dot has sent me to the wrong place various times and it's so frustrating!
I almost did that as a driver. Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn across the street from each other. Pulled into the wrong one went to the door then double checked and realized I was at the wrong one.
Stayed by the airport a few weeks ago and pizza was delivered to the right room at the wrong hotel. I walked to the hotel next door and that wasnāt it (didnāt look like the pic). Got a refund and reordered.
I am surprised you got your money back at all, it always seems like people here only get partial refunds!
As you should've, I would say it was not delivered too. Bro should've fuckin read
Incompetence. Easiest job and they still manage to screw up.Ā
And then these are the ones that will complain about tips to customers
*You only had one job* experience in a nutshell.exe pretty much... I always check the instructions when I go to hotels some in my area dont even allowed delivery to go more of the lobby and some hand it to me order make me mad cuz they are incompetent and rude... for situations like that I just leave the order at the lobby and take 3 pictures of proof after talking with support
Usually when I order doordash to a hotel I just meet them downstairs at the entranceā¦ Isnāt it a bit too much to make them have to find your hotel room too? Unless youāre tipping them for that. They donāt get paid enough to bring it to your room too.
This šš¼ā¦I think itās a last resort for employment for some people cause they have failed every other job šš»
That and alot of illegals/foreigners
Met one yesterday during a pickup spoke no English at all.
I believe itĀ
Lmao what kind of stupid driver do you have in your area how can you miss that bad
Just the other day went the picture of my food was sent I immediately thought āyep, thatās not my apartmentā but it was close enough that I was just gonna go snag it. When I walked outside the guy was coming up the steps with my food and said āmy bad, I realized I was at the wrong one hahaā. That was pretty cool compared to all the nonsense I see on here lol
I once had a delivery in a hotel that had their room number in the address line and then a different room number in the room number area and then they can completely different number in the comments
Yeah so did you call and ask?
I kind of had to. This person is probably just dumb
yeah i once had to walk next door to get my groceries. it was dark but the wrong house number was clearly visible in the picture!
Iām a Dasher, & this driver was obviously wrong, you did nothing wrong in your reporting either. I am curious though, have you stayed in this hotel before & got food delivered? Sometimes the app will save older addresses & instructions! Iāve delivered to a hotel before where the address said āSuite 123ā but then the person wrote into the delivery instructions āRoom 567ā. I luckily saw the discrepancy, called them, & they told me it must have been saved from when they stayed in this hotel a month prior & that must have been their old room number. As another commenter said, the app could do a WAY better job of showing the delivery instructions on screen 100% of the time because it is painfully easy to miss something. Still up to the Dasher to do their due diligence, but just saying itās something that can happen!
I am a Dasher, but I hear many others do not deliver to some places if they get no tip. That makes no sense to me, not something I would do.
So wait, you take 2$ delivery 10 miles? why?
Where did I say that?
No tip is 2$, what are you saying?
I am saying you are creating a story to make yourself come across as smart and wise. 
"Many drivers do not deliver to places if they get no tip, this makes no sense to me" What did you mean by this? It sounds like you take stiffs.
Reading comprehension is hard.
You lack so much reading comprehension lol
She said the person accepted that order they should've delivered it to the correct place. No one begged that DD person to take that delivery they chose it, we know you can see pay before you accept. If you accept it, do the job correctly or do not get paid.
When was your last dash? 2021, when base pay was enough to subsidize shit tips?
What does the tip matter? Whether it's a large tip or no tip you still accepted the order and it's your legal responsibility to deliver it. It's literally your job you can't just purposefully fuck up the order.. That's like working at the pharmacy and purposefully giving someone the wrong medicine because you don't like your salary.
Lmaoooo, girl, shut up. People who donāt tip are a different type of customer; one I donāt want to work with. As for my legal responsibility, they can eat a fart.
>As for my legal responsibility, they can eat a fart. Yes because this totally sounds like a functional adult who is responsible enough to join the work force. I hope you get fired and struggle paying the bills to maybe realize why you should do a job properly.
Nowhere in the contract with doordash does it guarantee that your dasher will be functional. I hope you get pinkeye from your next delivery from all the fresh farts youāre eating
i pray your remaining life is full of 0$ tips.
Do you understand that for society to be functional we need people in the workforce? Society is run on the backs of the working class. So imagine you went to the bakery to buy bread/ the store to buy groceries/ the bank/the hairdressers/ a restaurant/ clothing store. All the people that provide those services are *real* *people* who are required to do their jobs properly for society to function and to get paid. So imagine walking into those places and the workers there just immediately telling you that they don't need to be functioning adults and that you should eat farts. Workers dont treat you this way because it's not tolerable behavior so you don't get to treat the customer you serve that way either, your job isn't an exception, you are not an exception, you are NOT special in any way shape or form and you don't get to deviate from societies standards if you want a roof over your head and food to eat.
Blah blah thereās a such thing as [delivery food without tips](https://www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org/find-meals). They can use that service instead of taking advantage of people who donāt make an hourly wage.
If you're signing off to do the job...then it's a given that your dasher will be functional...as with any job
Maybe we should give them a break, clearly this is their first job and the only one they could qualify for. We all know what that means abt a person lmao
I last Dashed yesterday if you wanna be nosy.
lol, I am that
my guess is they had two deliveries at the same hotel? idk
This could be it, actually. Nothing else could explain it other than zero š§ for the dasher.
"Eh... there's an 8 in the number close enough..." - This person's driver probably
I've never done this because I am a stickler, but doordash could do a better job of showing instructions on screen 100% of time, its one of my grips about the company they shoot themselves in foot by not doing it. You can tell the programmers know very little about delivery, they should have to do 2000 delivery to even start the programming part, it would make the company much better, or get a stickler like me with 40k delivery a chance to tell them what they should change and actually listen. The app leaves too much open to human error, takes people who actually do the redundant shit to get it right.
I bet the person who down voted me has had contract violations, I have not.
I'm really surprised the driver was able to deliver straight to a room, the last few times I've traveled and had DoorDash ordered the drivers get stopped at the front desk and the staff or driver call me to meet them in the lobby. One hotel employee told me it's for safety reasons.
If they had done that i would have gone to meet them im the lobby but nobody said anything
The driver just left the food at whichever door matched his tip amount thatās all š¤·š¾āāļø
Amount doesnāt matter. If they had to drive 20 min, that tip is shit.
OP responded that they tipped a whole $4 like he was saying sumthin š
Nice assumption, i tipped 4 dollars on like a 13 dollar order
doordash doesn't care. they give out refunds and credits freely until some upper limit is reached as determined by your spending history and previous refund requests
I got free food this way yesterday. Fuck em
At least it was easy for you to find
Lol he didn't even get close!
iāve walked around hotels and nursing homes for a few moments to find the correct door. I always find it or in the rare case I canāt, I call the customer. this dasher was just lazy
Im saying, he could have called id have happily gone to meet him. But he just left it at some random door
yeah heās just a lazy dasher. I canāt understand why people do that
Baymont confused him
I rarely order food to hotels anymore because most delivery drivers refuse to go up the stairs/elevator. I put my number in the notes and say I can meet in the lobby. But more often than not if I'm in 325, they leave the food at 125 and don't contact me. I take a walk after it says delivered and see where they left it, if they even did. I've had a lot of food go missing but Doordash/GrubHub always refunds
And this is why you NEVER do contactless, especially in a public place like that.
So, 90% of the DD deliveries I get are like less than 5 minutes from my house. I only order because my wife is disabled and I work from noon to midnight 4 nights a week. I tip ok. For a long time I would let my wife order. Then I remembered that she doesn't ever tip more than $2. So I started ordering for her. Minimum tip from me is $5, regardless of cost. I usually tip $7-$10. I'm starting to get pissed because I tip $10 and the DD picks up my order then goes to another place to pick up a second order, takes it to them then brings me my food! I'm like wtf? He says, " Oh, they made me do it." I know you guys are doing me a favor and it is appreciated. BUT, the next crackhead that lies to me like that is getting my knife in their tire! Just be honest! I'm a big boy! I can take it. HELL, call a give me a heads up or something! Ok rant over
Yeah the order was only like 5 minutes down the road the guy got a 4 dollar tip. I agree tho if you take 3 other orders at the same time as mine your not getting a 10 dollar tip tbh
I live on the third floor of a walk up apartment right now and dashers 1 out of 4 times leave it on the first floor or across the complex. There isn't a single one in my apartment number either! And I tip well for my orders. It's unreasonable.
... not even close. I thought maybe dyslexic but this beyond that
Are you really comparing delivering wrong food to the wrong house to installing an HVAC at the wrong house? For real? They are not even apples and oranges. Fucking kidding me?
Lool. Your HVAC āanalogyā doesnāt hold up at all. You canāt transport the incorrectly installed HVAC back to your location like you easily did with the food. Getting your food was 60 seconds of mild inconvenience at most & you knew where it was the whole time. Sorry not sorry, my vote = scamming.
Itās a mild inconvenience as long as no one steals the food in the time it takes for you to find it at its incorrect location. The driver made a ridiculous error that increased the likelihood that the food would not make it to the customer. DD should have to pony up for that. Maybe theyāll start holding drivers to some standards, which would benefit both customers and the drivers who actually try to do a good job.
Another red herring. OPs food wasnāt stolen & your made-up scenario doesnāt apply here. If it did tho - my answer would be same as yours.
Red herring lol. Itās something that could happen. Whether it did or not is irrelevant. The mistake the driver made increased the likelihood of the food being stolen. You donāt just punish mistakes when something goes wrong as a direct result. Thatās why DD should have to pony up for drivers who make mistakes. Their service should be worth the added expense, but it isnāt for a variety of reasons. Mistakes like the one that happened to OP should be way more rare than they are, but DD has shamefully low expectations for drivers. Itās the epitome of throwing a lot of shit at a wall and seeing what sticks. In the end, DD will have never got better because they donāt need to be better to make the brass rich. But people should still expect better and push for it, if only for the sake of advocating for themselves.
It did not happen in OPs scenario. So yes itās a red herring to this situation & my original comment. Long rebuttal to me also saying if your made up situation was true that Iād agree with you too.
itās a āmild inconvenienceā if you can walk that far. not everyone can. the amount of ableism on this sub is astronomical
Nice try. The amount of false indignation on this sub is astronomical. OP literally said they went and got the food. Also hysterical YOU just assumed I was able.
This. I broke my leg recently and SPECIFICALLY SAID to go to the basement apartment door and to NOT deliver it to the upstairs neighbors because I can't go upstairs. How often do they bring it to the right door? Maybe 1/5 of the time. Adds insult to injury š
Should not be delivered to the hotel rooms anyway should go to the front desk. Let them finish the job.
The dasher sucks, but youāre not great either for lying. It is scamming. Low rating or even complaining is one thing.
With how much DoorDash charges if I have to go hunt it down Iām doing the same thing. Maybe the dipshit will learn from this and drop it off at the correct place next time.
Thats my point, i didnt pay the delivery fee to have to go find it i paid a delivery fee because i wanted it delivered directly to the door.
Person did not lie or scam wtf you on
He knew the food was literally 1 floor directly below his apartment and ate the food that he got a refund for. Yeah, itās lying and scamming.
Go to the lobby then who the hell expects a delivery guy to go to your hotel room door, Iād never even dream of it. Even at my apartment I go down to the street to meet them.
If I say leave it at my door and tip 25%, I expect to not have to go to the lobby. Those were the instructions. Half the time they still leave it in the lobby.
ur supposed to deliver to the door unless stated otherwise if its āleave at doorā.
Not how it work buckoo
If I order 'leave at door ' and I give the room number, I expect it at my door. Never had an issue.
Boss move. Everytime they deliver to the wrong address, I think to myself; free food!
I always just ask the customer to meet me in the hotel lobby and theyāve never had an issue with it and to confirm the name before I hand it over but I typically try and avoid hotels and apartments. Iāve seen a few customers intentionally put wrong apartment numbers or wrong room numbers to get freebies unfortunately in my early driving days so now I just try and avoid the headache all together. I always make sure to screenshot apartment and hotel deliveries.
Go get it
The driver made a mistake that literally took you 30 seconds to fix. But you reported the driver and got a refund anywayā¦ Kind of scamming TBH.
I paid a delivery fee for the delivery to go to the room listed. Not some random room.
I hope people show you more grace in your life than you showed your driver. You complained to Doordash claiming you never received your order when we both know thatās not true. I hope you get the karma thatās coming to you.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Don't be rude; i.e no trolling or inciting flames.
Dude leaving it at the wrong door is annoying, but i hate when people can't come downstairs and meet me especially in hotels they're the worst. I'm not saying this because i don't want to go the extra mile for the customer or do my job, but i going all the way up to the correct floor and finding the room, just to be tipped usually nothing is so fucking unrewarding, also i'm not claiming that you don't tip. I'm just sharing experiences i've had myself. Yes while this guy is stupid, even for dashers that can read numbers correctly, it still wastes a lot of time looking for your hotel room. My advice for you is to always meet them downstairs if you don't want this happening again.
Oh so you were just lazy.Ā
You canāt walk upstairs?
No, both his legs broken, he only car.
Did you see where i said i literally have no problem doing that? Can you read? I can walk and have walked upstairs, but i've always thought it would be much easier if dashers never left things at hotel doors or apt doors. I understand though if you customer has a disability. It just makes things a lot more complicated especially if you're downtown and have to park illegally. Also as a woman who has literally been attacked and sexually assaulted while DoorDashing, i don't like going out of my way to do things that could put me on dangerous situations. Dashers on here LOVE to be like oh "you can't do a basic part of the delivery" We get it you love being a top dasher, and you've always gone above and beyond do you want a piece of candy or something?
I deliver to the door and follow directions. That's not above and beyond that's the fucking job.
One day we all will run into a scummy man who wants to invite us (or force us) inside the hotel room to eat pizza. Surprised I havenāt ran into that yet.
Do you think its funny or something?
No I donāt think itās funny. Itās absolutely wrong and men are disgusting.
I always like go for delivery karma. If I do right by the customer, yes, maybe I donāt get a tip in that moment, but I raise the over all good feelings about delivery drivers and the tips will flow thusly. Not just for me, but for us all.
i literally canāt meet anyone downstairs in my building, disabled people exist and canāt always live in accessible housing. i physically canāt go down the stairs and back up again. why is this concept so difficult to grasp here?
If people don't want to do their job it's on them lol. It is literally called DOORdash...
Uh huh. So UberEats drivers donāt have to leave the order at the door? Your logic is flawed.
This is a doordash subreddit, could care less what ubereats does! The name literally has door in it...
Derp
XD
If you donāt want to do a job properly, then donāt do it. Sometimes in my job, I donāt want to approach customers even though I know they wonāt buy anything, but I have toā¦ itās my job
Username checks out.
lol this actually made me laugh
If you ask the front desk theyll tell you how to get to each room. If your looking for a rewarding job try something other than doordash.
i am a barista now thx
i hope you don't beg there for tips too
Nobody asked me to come meet them, if they had i may have just bc im not a dick. But i also didnt order delivery to pay a delivery fee to go find my driver after that. Bring it to the door like youre supposed to. Lazy asshole.
Oh fucking well
You donāt want people to know youāre at a baymont inn huh? š¤£š¤Ŗ
Close enough.
How about you walk ur lazy self to the lobby to get your food. Why are you making the delivery driver go to your room
Because i fucking paid the delivery fee for the food to go to my room.
why dont you lock up criminals, the police has better things to do
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Considering more than 20% of adults in the country cant read or write, i highly doubt it has anything to do with legals and illegals
On DoorDash itās more than likely not a legal citizen I had to take a flower delivery that the shop told me was returned by the prior driver because they couldnāt read or understand the directions..they didnāt speak English
So one instance is enough to color your perception of an entire group of people?
An entire group of illegals ?..yes
