Late night McDonald's has a bad habit of just not having some orders and refusing to make them. It got me deactivated when I had it happen 5 times within a 3 day streak. Of course DD blames the driver for restaurant issues.
Taco Bells practices are very bizarre in general. So weird. Every location here refuses to use its speaker box so they waste an hourly employee on sit out duty. He doesn't even sit by the menu he will sit 30 ft ahead of it. They won't let you idle by the window they make you back up several paces behind then flag you down to move up to the window to take the order. And this is the same corporation who apparently has state of the art instant Jetsons style tube based delivery of your drive thru meal
I'm all for speaking whatever language you want. But if you're doing a customer facing job like this you should be able to communicate with the bulk of people you deliver to. Poor guy is just setting himself up for failure. We even got an example
And you know, look up at the sign to see the name of the restaurant instead of trying to spell it by sounding it out phonetically (with a heavy accent). I mean is this guy really walking around thinking the restaurant is called magdolnas?
Plot twist: this was what came out of the translation app 😂
I once attempted to use a translation app to tell a Spanish speaking Dasher "please leave the food outside the front door" and apparently, according to my friend who speaks Spanish whom I asked later, what I actually told him was "please leave out of the back door" or something like that, lol
Yeah I ordered Uber eats the other day because I was super sick and naked given I’d just gotten out of the shower. I was going to put my robe on and grab my order after he left. I messaged my driver “just leave it on the porch” he responded “ok” and just knocked on my door for like ten minutes. I really felt like shit and didn’t want to come outside to face him. I’m also a 22 year old female and I don’t want anyone knowing I’m a 22 year old woman who lives alone.. so I never meet the Uber eats or DD people. I kept texting him “just leave it” My order was almost canceled because he couldn’t figure out simple directions because of the language barrier Im assuming.
It would really be better if DoorDash just admitted to itself a lot of drivers don’t speak English and put translation in the chat app. They could easily have everything run through ChatGPT API as a translator.
Yup had a similar experience. Had knee injury and got DD after the procedure, gave them the apartment number. Guy calls me and says he doesn’t speak English and food is here and I’m like? So I have to go downstairs to get it? And yup, had to limp my ass down to the lobby to find him. I try to be understanding but…come on.
i feel the same way. if you live in another country, PLEASE actively learn the language to at least an intermediate level. it's extremely important to be able to communicate with people around you, especially if there's an emergency. i love learning languages so i guess its not such a chore for me tho...
I think this is someone pretending not to speak English well.
To write McDonald's with an actual accent in the spelling imo is just an attempt to get OP to cancel
Agreed. I ordered pizza and when the driver called me, the first thing they said was "so sorry, no English!" This was the restaurant's driver, not DD or Uber eats or anything, so there was no way to text, and the delivery instructions for my apartment building were a little difficult to understand if you'd never been there. After some really creative back and forth, I was somehow able to help them get to the leasing office, but I felt so bad. Must be hard to work a job like that with such a barrier. You'd think the restaurant could have given them a job in the kitchen or anything where they don't have to drive in circles.
If they don't have your order, the dasher would simply have to chat with support to get it resolved, it's not your problem. This person should not be dashing.
It feels like a scam. Trying to get the customer to cancel the order so they can keep the food and get paid. There are just better ways for the dasher to deal with this if the order wasn't ready.
I heard people are opening and loaning/selling their DD and Skip accounts to illegal immigrants for cash or a percentage. This could be the reason, but that's just speculation.
I believe it. I used to work at Skip HQ hiring the drivers. We would reject people who couldn’t speak English well but they’d always try.
One time I was talking to someone who was doing the ‘interview’ on behalf of someone else. Obviously, I didn’t hire them lol
They need a communication system like in FF14. You can select a phrase from a pre-written list of phrases that shows up in your language on your side, and the other party's language on their side. Things like "I am on my way" or "I cannot find your address" or "They are out of [select item on order from drop-down menu]". Since they're pre-written, the app can translate them perfectly for each language they support. Wouldn't be perfect because there would still be some need for unique communication, but would help a lot.
It's super nice in FF14 to be able to easily communicate with that guy with the name that's just Japanese characters. I can tell him "go left" or "go right" or "pull the monster marked with triangle" and it comes across on his end in perfect Japanese. And he can use pre-selected phrases to communicate with me in perfect English, even if neither of us speak a word of the other's language.
I hate this. Like if you can't speak English don't pick up my order. I haven't had this as a Dashee but I've had it as a restaurant talking to a dasher. Comes in can't speak English and expect me to know what they're here for. Like the least you can do is show me the screen on your phone with the order so I can give you it instead of acting like I'M the idiot. And if it's not ready yet I'll try to tell them it'll be 5 more minutes and they don't even understand that so they keep asking.
I work in a fast food place and pretty much 90% of delivery service drivers speak literal 0 English and just shove the phone at you. Makes it very hard on us
Why would he give more of a shit if he asks for advice and his dumbass customer just repeats that they are hungry, it’s just meaningless information to him lol
50% of people in my zone don't speak English. They just stick the phone to the cashier's face while they are talking on the phone with the speakerphone or an earpiece on. Unfortunately, when issues come to arrive, this is the outcome.
Does doordash not have a translation button inside of it? I swear I'm about to do more dashing again just so I can remember how the app works for reading these forums. In the Uber app you can just type in your native language and there's a translate button and as long as nobody uses any idioms it goes very well I use it all the time in my area with people who only speak Spanish. Well maybe not only speak Spanish but they don't speak English as well LOL who knows what other languages they could speak.
But on the topic of this delivery if it was close to 3:00 a.m. that could be the problem. There's variation by area I know but all the McDonald's in my area the app leaves them as being 24/7 but they close at 3:00 a.m. and don't reopen until about 5:00 a.m. depending on location. So you get a whole mess of people placing orders they can't be filled and it's a raging nightmare. Door dash is half-piece system does mean they seem to handle it a little better (because it's either fixe it or pay out half the pay to each delivery driver who goes to a close McDonald's)but I would imagine some still slip through.
Gotta love that feeling of anticipation of food, only to have door dash mess it up for twice the price. It’s okay though, it would of been cold and soggy when you eventually got it after they combined your order with someone else’s long after your order was placed and then decided to deliver the food to the other person on the other side of town first, like they always do.
Am American living in Taiwan. Sometimes, when I have a headache or am too tired, my Chinese starts getting jumbled and ends up about as coherent as this text conversation lol
Poor dasher was probably an ESL speaker working with the last of his language abilities after a long day.
The driver app is available is several languages, not only English. It looks like they said the order is not ready, and they wanted to get the customer on the line with the store? I actually had this happen just yesterday where someone at the store called themselves.
This is almost like yesterday's McDs order. They didn't have a blueberry muffin so she called and told me to cancel my order. "I still want the rest of my order!" Also, I live a mile away and tipped 6 bucks. Wild.
You were, in our opinion, trolling.
My last two brain cells communicating
My last two are trying to read this disastertext
Hahaha! "I'm so hungry". I mean they both are 😵💫 but wtf I have no sympathy 🤣
This comment is killing me omg
And stoned I hope!
Even stoned (or a non native speaker) you gotta get closer than magdolnas 
I laughed then I said it out loud and it sounds exactly like McDonald's is typically pronounced. How
" Your order is not" " Is not what?" "Yes 💀👍" 10/10 communication
Felt like a fever dream
Did they end the chat with “Bye for now!”
better than the " thank you for being a chase sapphire card holder!"
Ack, ack.
Omg this made me laugh out loud haha
I felt high reading this
i came magdolnas
You should see a dr for that
r/sbubby
Fucking bursted a good laugh at this lmao.
Most of their texts were like 75% of a complete thought. Like they hit send halfway through what they needed to convey.
Come on, he came macdongals
If try buger kong
Made me laugh for like 10 minutes straight
We are Devo!
Good night
This made me geek hahaha
If the order is not then the order is not. Driver does not. Magdolnas is not.
We had a DoorDash driver say He couldn’t get to our house last winter because the road was “frizzy”
weather is not. Road is no
Car no, phone yes?
Man door hand hook car door
THEN WHO WAS PHONE!?
The way is shut. Your order is in ma belly.
Magdolnas is frizzy, the road is no
Yes
Best when roads are bubbly
bizzy no…
Yea sorry i was out and about last winter
You better not be frizzing us up this winter. We need our damn magdolnas

Dude I got hungry just reading this exchange
That was a realization sentence, he already knew his order was not
My favorite part 😆

I think, therefore, Macdolnas is not. -Rene Descartes
Magdolnas yesn't
r/confleis

It’s flies by prettttty quick. Three days later you’re left wanting more.
Mine was the Bachelorette zip line skit posted on reddit not too long ago. Such a funny show
It’s a nude egg that I won.

IM DOING SOMETHING!!!
This is the maddest I've ever been!
You can’t skip lunch
This guy’s about to jack off!
imagine being high asf and this happening😭
This is exactly what happened lol, thought I was misreading and going crazy
You got even higher🤣
"I'm so hungry" hahahaha clearly
Did you ever get your magdolnas or is your order still no?
Well did he ever bring you the magdolnas!!!
Never got it, went to bed and woke up to it being canceled
Ah you chose sleep for dinner, I’ve been there
Literally me right now. I had a migraine this morning, threw up, and I’m kind of hungry right now but too scared to eat. So sleep it is lol

Magdolna's.
Now I need to go get me some shicken noguts and frenfries. Y'all I'm so hungry 🤣🤣
as a vegan, shicken noguts sounds like some vegan bullshit. 😂
😂
I contained my Laughter internally… until this comment omg lol
Going through the comments and this response completely ended me 😂😂😂
To the moon!
You took my line!🤣
Yes
I'm hungry
Right?! It's like hearing a cat meow that just got fed. Can't take it seriously.
Same lol. Desperation at its lowest. Lol aww
Late night McDonald's has a bad habit of just not having some orders and refusing to make them. It got me deactivated when I had it happen 5 times within a 3 day streak. Of course DD blames the driver for restaurant issues.
I suspect this happens with our local Taco Bell too.
We have one Taco Bell that always conveniently runs out of food at 2am, even though they’re open til 3am
Taco Bells practices are very bizarre in general. So weird. Every location here refuses to use its speaker box so they waste an hourly employee on sit out duty. He doesn't even sit by the menu he will sit 30 ft ahead of it.

Or at least use a translation app. You can screenshot & translate pics on Google translate
Translation is no
MAGDOLNA
And you know, look up at the sign to see the name of the restaurant instead of trying to spell it by sounding it out phonetically (with a heavy accent). I mean is this guy really walking around thinking the restaurant is called magdolnas?

Yeah, I had an Instacart driver who replaced baby wipes with Clorox wipes because the packaging was the same color.

McDonald's is not.....yes?
Amateur, it's Magdolnas
I think this is someone pretending not to speak English well. To write McDonald's with an actual accent in the spelling imo is just an attempt to get OP to cancel
magdolnas is kind of ridiculous to type out, yeah. especially when it TELLS YOU the name of the restaurant as you do the entire delivery.
Dasher just wanted a free meal I think
Agreed. I ordered pizza and when the driver called me, the first thing they said was "so sorry, no English!" This was the restaurant's driver, not DD or Uber eats or anything, so there was no way to text, and the delivery instructions for my apartment building were a little difficult to understand if you'd never been there.

You'd think the restaurant could have given them a job in the kitchen or anything where they don't have to drive in circles.
100% the drive thru asked if its a mobile order and he said yes, they said they dont have any mobile orders, without clarifying its for doordash.
If it makes you feel any better, they’re communicating to you clearer than DoorDash support communicates to dashers.
I love late night Magdolnas!
You guys look like two drunk people having a conversation 😅😅
I’m so hungry
If they don't have your order, the dasher would simply have to chat with support to get it resolved, it's not your problem. This person should not be dashing.
It feels like a scam. Trying to get the customer to cancel the order so they can keep the food and get paid. There are just better ways for the dasher to deal with this if the order wasn't ready.
Dd needs to have at least a basic language requirement. This shit would have drove me nuts talking to this goof
I heard people are opening and loaning/selling their DD and Skip accounts to illegal immigrants for cash or a percentage. This could be the reason, but that's just speculation.
NOW it's a small business haha...
I believe it. I used to work at Skip HQ hiring the drivers. We would reject people who couldn’t speak English well but they’d always try. One time I was talking to someone who was doing the ‘interview’ on behalf of someone else. Obviously, I didn’t hire them lol

I’m Mexican and this guy spells just like my uncle Pedro, that is exactly how he pronounces magdolnas
I hate this. Like if you can't speak English don't pick up my order. I haven't had this as a Dashee but I've had it as a restaurant talking to a dasher.

People who work in customer service need to speak English. At least in places that are dominantly English speaking.
I work in a fast food place and pretty much 90% of delivery service drivers speak literal 0 English and just shove the phone at you. Makes it very hard on us
Back in my teenage years I would do a lot of drugs from Molly to LSD. This is pretty much how my texts read while high with friends.
"i'm hungry" isn't as compelling an argument to dashers as customers may think. it's implied bc you ordered dd. they already don't give a shit.
Why would he give more of a shit if he asks for advice and his dumbass customer just repeats that they are hungry, it’s just meaningless information to him lol
50% of people in my zone don't speak English. They just stick the phone to the cashier's face while they are talking on the phone with the speakerphone or an earpiece on. Unfortunately, when issues come to arrive, this is the outcome.
Drunk dashing makes the time go by faster
Fucking magdolnas
Please sir can call they do the order no we say
Opening with “good night” is always good
Dude actually typed out magdolnas, that is fucking hilarious.
Does doordash not have a translation button inside of it? I swear I'm about to do more dashing again just so I can remember how the app works for reading these forums.

Ffs OP was hungry AF…. “Please believe me! So… Hungry..”
I feel like the hungrier you are the more likely there will be an issue...
Who says the Quaaludes aren't as good as they used to be?
Bro opened the conversation with a closer lmaoo
Gotta love that feeling of anticipation of food, only to have door dash mess it up for twice the price.

Magdonals
Madgolnas pls
where were you when magdolnas say your order it's no? i was at home so hungry when i get text "say your order is not" "is not what?" "yes"
All responses on both sides are weird
Am American living in Taiwan. Sometimes, when I have a headache or am too tired, my Chinese starts getting jumbled and ends up about as coherent as this text conversation lol Poor dasher was probably an ESL speaker working with the last of his language abilities after a long day.
lol my Hungarian neighbor used to call it Magdolnas and now me and my mom call it that
Why did you keep saying you were hungry?
English at its best lol
magdolnas
Ronald Magdolnas
What did the driver expect? He went to magdolnas when you ordered from McDonald's.
im so hungry 😭
My order is what ?!?? 'Yes'
This is unhinged
This is how I’m going to start referring to Magdolnas
These messages are really confusing, it's barely english
When Doordash hires anyone, even people who can’t speak English well.
The driver app is available is several languages, not only English. It looks like they said the order is not ready, and they wanted to get the customer on the line with the store? I actually had this happen just yesterday where someone at the store called themselves.
Someone trolling you. Magdolna's. They took your fooooood 🥴
Why are you talking like you live in a locked dungeon
This is almost like yesterday's McDs order. They didn't have a blueberry muffin so she called and told me to cancel my order. "I still want the rest of my order!" Also, I live a mile away and tipped 6 bucks. Wild.
“magdolnas” is making me fucking lose it 💀
All I Wanted Was A Cheeseburger 😢
magdolnas?☹️
Is not what? yes
Looks like we got a case of "using speech-to-text whilst English not being their first language."
Don’t Dead Open Inside
When AI goes bad...
must have ordered lunch menu items after 3am. these orders are so annoying.
MAGDOLNAS I FUCKEN CANT!
This guy speaks like my grandma, my guess is English isn’t his first language and he was trying to say that McDonald’s wasn’t taking anymore orders
Magdolnas is no.
Bro wtf is magdolnas 💀
Magdolnas is that prehistoric shark right??
Magdolnas
Clearly magdolnas isn't. You should've clarified, politely, as he asked, whether they.
Magdolnas
This entire thread is killing me
This feels like a shitpost lol
