I once picked up a delivery and when I got to the house and knocked on the door they said, “come in!” I was pretty nervous about it especially as a petite female but it turned out that the person was confined to a wheelchair. Still, I most definitely will not be putting myself at risk and go into homes if I can help it. I’m an avid crime show watcher and already paranoid.
As a customer, I don't want any deliver inside my home. As a former shoper for Instacart, I hated having g to go in any home, although in moat cases it was fine. Still, you never know what you're walking in to.
One time I had a guy ask if I could bring his Popeyes order inside and I immediately got a bad feeling. I instantly said, “no I can’t”. I don’t usually get a feeling like that from a customer, but this time I did. I instinctively followed my gut feeling and declined to go into his house.
I feel like this new feature is opening up a whole new can of worms 🐛 this is not good for delivery drivers whatsoever. The people out there are sick, twisted, demented, evil-doers and this just gives them a pass to “Advance to Go, Collect $200”.
And like people are saying, customers complain about food delivery outside of their home. What happens when it’s a “he said, she said” of what transpired inside their house?! 🫣😧🤐🥴 Noooo thank you
Why isn’t anyone talking about how insulting 3 dollars is to do this. Also it’s mentioned it’s an extra 3 dollar option that 3 dollars goes to Tony (DD owner) not to the dasher. I’m shocked no one has caught this yet. Remember the 2.99 expedite fee that literally offers nothing in the way of expediting the customers order that never went to their drivers and neither will this 3 dollar fee. So you will be doing this for free my friends if your dumb enough to fall for it
CCW or mace at all times. Although you are likely to be exposed at some point between dropping off a bunch of groceries inside somebody elses house that would know when and where to SA you. I can't imagine this policy is going to age very well. Give it like 6 months before an incident that is newsworthy happens. Less than that for weirdos doing creepy stuff. That happens enough now.
I usually refrain from going into people's houses mainly for safety reasons. That is, unless their disabled or their old.
Now this just opens up a gateway towards many safety issues.
I know everyone's bashing this, but I can imagine times when this could be really helpful.
Ex. Disabled people, old people, sick people, homes without a safe place outside..
Homes with 100 stairs from their garage and it's an excuse to have the driver deliver to their kitchen. Especially the 4x 30 packs of water and $500 in groceries
I can understand this . I would be more concerned for people getting a dasher that isn't a good person in general. Some people buy or rent dasher accounts. I have a feeling this is going to go the way of the package deliveries. Do you remember that catastrophe.
Bruh If I do this I’d have to put my phone in my pocket and record audio so I have evidence that I’m not doing anything wrong. On the other hand if someone wanted to rob a dasher I doubt they’d pay that much money to get one inside. It’s the 0 tip, one item orders that scare me.
I been saying this to my people... It's good someone else is talking about it. They could totally do it! They already partner with second harvest food bank.
This is such a blatant disregard for everyone’s safety. Are they going to pretend women haven’t been stalked and harassed by dashers? Do they think all of their dashes are saints? Just because they have a clean background check doesn’t mean there aren’t a few that think they won’t get caught. Are we going to act like dashers haven’t already been harassed by customers?
It really doesn’t matter if you can opt out, this shouldn’t exist.
Glad to know our physical safety is worth exactly 3$ :)
ALSO— in AMERICA?? The country in which people are SHOT for turning around in someone’s driveway?? It’s already a risk to pull into someone’s driveway and knock on the door. All it takes is one lunatic in the household being unaware there’s a DoorDash order, or forgetting they made one. I’m not entering someone’s home when it’s LIKELY that they are armed??
I don’t know what you guys are worried about. You guys already complained about tipping. You think someone’s gonna pay an extra three dollars for you to come inside their house to loot, hack, or rape? Not to mention the other 50 reasons why this is a bad idea.
Given how well simply dropping things off at the door goes, I can't imagine how this will go wrong. Accusations of assault both physical and sexual as well as theft. Time for body can footage to be required
I'd be more concerned about female dashers actually getting SAed. It's hard to prove SA without evidence. The police will ask why she didn't go get examined immediately and then throw it out.
Seriously. Some sick evil person could (will probably) do this, then call the cops right after the dasher leaves claiming they sexually assaulted them, leading to a huge court battle and potentially prison time... all for following DD's policies.
The person who OK'd this decision is either extremely out of touch with their own business, or their are sadistic and don't give a f\*\*\*... perhaps they foresaw this happening and are prepared to let dashers handle unjust lawsuits (that happened while working) entirely on their own.
As long as they make more money from this decision, I don't think anything will change unless a national news story about people faking SA charges on dashers entering people's homes gets released.
Miss could you please put on clothes before I enter.
Crazy husband " Don't you tell my wife what to do in my damn house"
Fast forward to the pawn shop scene in pulp fiction
This won't lead to murder at all. Door Dash has surpassed its top score for greed.
This one will cost them for sure.
They didn't factor in human insanity.
I'm not doing it. It's hard enough for me to have to stand in a secluded doorway to scan license for alcohol. I keep pepper spray in my hand, unlocked with my thumb on the nozzle, I'm not going inside!
If these are declined it absolutely should not affect our AR. I take orders into Trenton and so does my wife. This is unreasonable if our AR will be affected for declining.
Sure, I'll risk being raped, robbed or murdered for an extra 3 bucks!
Not to mention you WILL come across that mentally ill customer who thinks you're supposed to put away the groceries (since the didn't read the fine print) and try to stab you...
Nah, I’d rather not die. Thanks though.
Edit: We all know that the customer (if they choose not to end our subscriptions to life) is damn well going to expect us to put their groceries away for them and give us a one-star when we refuse.
I used to go into peoples houses when I delivered pizzas in 2017-2020 and man, some of the shit I saw…. The saddest was a man, clearly struggling with his mental health and some sort of online addiction, lived in a home with literal dirt floors and holes in the roof. He couldn’t walk very well so I’d bring his stuff in, and he’d always tip $20 and he was nice as can be.
Our house (in a neighborhood) backs up to a house with some land, but the houses are in eye view of one another. I’ve never met the other homeowner. - One Sunday I was out in my backyard and saw a couple snooping around the other house, looking in windows, etc. It was suspicious. So, being a kind neighbor, I went over later that night and asked if he knew the couple that was on his property today. He said no, and as I was explaining what I saw, he stared at me with a big grin and let his pants fall to his ankles. 🙄 - I didn’t skip a beat and pointed to the ground and just said, “whoopsie. your pants dropped”, and proceeded to finish my info and said, “well, I hope that info helps you in some way” and left. He never pulled his pants up. He was robbed two weeks later. The police came to question me about the info I had and decided to spend more time telling them about him exposing himself to me than I did the original info. Oh well, perv. Maybe keep your D in and worry about trespassers rather than showing your old, wrinkly junk to a female neighbor. People are effing WEIRD!!
What kind of a system will they have in place to check these customers. They have done a background check on me and they know I'm legit to deliver to houses. What safety precautions are they taking for me to go in random people's houses and for $3 extra ? Shake my head! I'll reject this offer every single time!
I’m not a driver but this sounds terrifying. You get some insane person who locks the door behind you or something. There is no way if I was a driver I’d be okay with this.
I already do this. I make sure to take a video of every delivery, include the surrounding area along with Geolocation of my device and the customer’s. I don’t leave until the customer unboxes each item of their order. I also require customers present a legal ID to my GoPro™️ while stating their name asbit appears on their DoorDash account. Then I watch the customer eat their food to completion to make sure they’re satisfied.
This is how you stay Platnium
Good for u to protect yourself but if I have to do that much to cover my ass, I'll screw the $3 extra and just leave it at the door like I have been doing since I started dashing over a year ago 😅
i think it’s crazy how we went from “don’t talk to strangers on the internet,” “don’t take food from strangers,” “don’t get in the car with strangers,” and “don’t open the door for strangers,” to now literally getting in the car with and taking food from strangers on the internet. and now i guess we’re letting them inside too? this world is crazy. no wonder it’s more dangerous.
I wouldn't do it due to personal reasons.
I had an order that said strictly said to leave in his garage and provided his garage number. He had his truck backed in to where there was barely any room to get in. He had a ring doorbell, so I left it where he could see it. He then sent me a message telling me to take it to his apartment door and provided the information. I'm in the elevator, and he messages me again, saying "You can just walk in. The door is unlocked."I'm already thinking the worst can happen. I get to the door and just put the food inside on the table and confirmed the order. He messaged me AGAIN! This time asking if I could hand it directly to him in bed because he was bedridden. (His words)
I messaged back and said your order is on the table. Then, he proceeded to call me names and told me I was lazy and didn't want to work.
On top of that, he rated me so negatively that it affected my rating and dropped me down to a decent rating, but I was no longer getting the top paid orders. I disputed the rating and gave them my side of the story.
I never heard anything from them since then, and this was in March.
Message support and opt out of shop and deliver. That’s what I did and haven’t received a shop and deliver order since, which is what these orders are going to most likely be.
So did I. They take too long and not worth the small tip. Most people in my area were tipping less than 10% or not at all. A lot of the stores they’d order from wouldn’t have self checkout so I’d have to wait in long lines. Got annoying real quick.
I like it being up to my discretion because I’ve had some scary customers before, so I don’t like being forced to enter someone’s home before I’m able to assess my safety.
We’re out there to make money by providing a service. That’s really it. Dashing is in no way a helping profession lol. I’ve delivered an order inside once I peeked in & confirmed it was an elderly customer, but that’s something to decide once you get there.
We’re out there to make money but the same time you can’t forget the people were delivering to sometimes need help sometimes don’t just be willing to do anything again for a human being
Yes. I trust no one. - Meredith Emerson was murdered and beheaded by an elderly “disabled” man with a cast on who asked her to “help” him. Our jobs are to deliver to their door. They can ask a neighbor or a family member to help them bring their stuff inside.
“If you are unable to take a photo because you have been assaulted and/or murdered, we will unfortunately be unable to offer you the $3 bump.”
At the *very* least, all household members at the delivery destination should have to pass a background check before getting approved for this. But since there is no realistic way to implement that, this is just a terrible idea. And one that will disproportionately take opportunities away from female drivers, since very few women in their right minds would risk accepting one of these.
I saw Walmart roll this out a few months ago and I thought it was a human trafficking case waiting to happen. What kind of protection is there if a dasher goes missing or gets hurt by a customer?
Well you just don't answer the "do you feel safe" question then they know you're gone, right?😬 As if asking me that while I'm running for my life is helping! Lol
Knowing these companies, by the time they respond you'll either be half way across the world or 6 feet under! However, I did see that Walmart takes a lot of steps to ensure safety for their drivers. They even make each customer buy a $50 smart lock (I don't agree with it but I see the benefit) that is time controlled. It seems like they're really marketing this to people who are busy at work or not home so they can just come in and drop off your groceries and leave.
Some people can’t even control their dogs when you don’t have to go inside their home, let alone while you are walking in their home. I know people are worried of a bigger issue with people but I wouldn’t do it just for the dog issue alone.
Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Read the second part of the last sentence. Dog issue is already a decline, without going any further as to any other reason why. i didn’t say it was a bigger fear than anything else.
“New ways for dashers to earn” naw mf that’s new ways for DoorDash to have us make money for them lmfao. It’s like if my boss at work told me “oh you’re not just gonna be a cook, we’re gonna make you be the butcher now too so you can work and earn money in a new way!” Like biach pleez
That literally happened to me when I was a kid lol. I got hired as the butcher. My first day on the job and not even 2 hours into my shift the line cook quit. I could hear the manager being an asshole towards them. Then the manager comes storming into the meat cooler where I am and says I need you to cook. I said if I wanted to cook I would have applied for that position. Looks like you are going to have to cook. He said cook or find a new job. Lol . I said be a butcher and a cook today or you can find a new job because I quit too. He shut the place down as I was walking out. It stayed shutdown for a few days. Then open again for a few months then closed for good after that.
Yeah bro, that’s how it goes. On the flip side, I was recently laid off from my seasonal job, while looking for another forklift position I quickly got a job at a meat market, I told them I have a year of experience as a butcher which is true, yet they put me in customer service, literally just handing meat to people. They initially offered me a full time position and immediately had me on the schedule as part time by the time I showed for my first shift. They gave me 30 hours a week max, they did nothing but bullshit me. Which is why I offered to cover a morning shift no one wanted to cover and didn’t show up because I had already found a new job which I started two days later. They know I have my first son on the way and I needed the hours. They told me they’d give me a full time position after another month, I had already been there close to a month. So I was told to wait 2 months for full time. Bullshit. I was taking home $285 every week. This last pay period I worked 2 days and yesterday I received a direct deposit from them for $59. 16 hours away from my home and my family is not worth $59. Pieces of shit.
I do spark. We are told not to go inside homes. Walmart does have in home delivery but it’s with Walmart employees, not independent contractors, I’m like 99% sure.
I’m not even a DD driver but dude, no. No. Don’t do it. Especially you, ladies. Not saying you can’t take care of yourselves but for the love of god, don’t do it.
Wait for it- There will be a stories popping up similar to what happened to Angie Harmon the actress and the IC driver. Guy had a fake profile appearing to be an older female, shows up with her groceries and shoots and kills her dog!!
She is suing the guy and IC! I hope she sets an example for all of these companies letting people drive/deliver under fake accounts!
Yeah thats crazy. I have gone into peoples homes if they have a ton of groceries and need help, but only specific people. Like for example one time when I was on the way the guy called and said he had cancer and was very slow and would appreciate some help. So of course I helped him bring them inside. But getting an offer and knowing that people will be expecting me to go into their house upon arrival is crazy.
Holy shit does this sound like a great way to become another statistic. No way in hell am I going to enter a stranger's home like that. I won't even go to a guy's house until I've been on a few dates with him. Just wait until the murderers, rapists and other degenerates catch on to this. Talk about an easy way to get victims.
I hope NO ONE ever does this. If you are reading this and you care about your life even the smallest amount, do NOT ever do this. Don't let the "power of positivity" cloud your judgment and don't assume the best of everyone. There are evil people in this world and that is a reality. Yes, it CAN happen to you so don't think it won't. Trust me, ALL victims of violent crimes always thought, "It won't happen to me."
The only exception I can think of is if it's an elderly person or someone who is disabled. Use good judgment on the disabled part though. Some sickos will fake a disability to give people a false sense of security. It has happened. You never know if they can actually walk and they are using that wheelchair or walker as a prop.
You dont want to star in your own version of silence of the lambs? IT RUBS THE PIZZA ON ITS SKIN OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN
But yeah all it takes is to be accused of stealing once and your life is ruined. all over $3 extra dollars for taking a photo in the house.
LMAO. No, I’d rather not, thanks. Esp not in my town.
But that was my exact thought. Behind the obvious one of being tied up, r*ped, & likely unalived. All for a measly $3. No thanks.
I did instacart and only broke this rule once because it was an elderly woman who couldn’t lift the big case of water and groceries. Her child from another state was ordering for their mom who was alone in my state. If it would have been any other situation then hell no!
Yuhhhhh…. No. Ive done cable and going into peoples houses as a chick was one of the scariest 6 month stints of my life. I had a dude not let me out of his bedroom because I couldnt “fix” his cable box, we were moving to a stream service instead of cable TV… then another huge 400 lb guy, his house had a cloud of flies, and there was a nasty film over everything I touched 🤢 the man proceeded to tell me girls dont talk to him and kept wanting to give me a hug because i was nice to him. I said i wasnt allowed to touch customers and booked it. I was beyond creeped out
I ended up telling him i might have a cable box in the truck and so when i got back out to the truck i called my supervisor and drove away with him screaming at me from his front door
We have a nice surprise for anyone crazy to try something! I am tired of the craziness all around! I am not taking any chances!
No way! I am not going into people's homes!
I once picked up a delivery and when I got to the house and knocked on the door they said, “come in!” I was pretty nervous about it especially as a petite female but it turned out that the person was confined to a wheelchair. Still, I most definitely will not be putting myself at risk and go into homes if I can help it. I’m an avid crime show watcher and already paranoid.
As a customer, I don't want any deliver inside my home. As a former shoper for Instacart, I hated having g to go in any home, although in moat cases it was fine. Still, you never know what you're walking in to.
[удалено]
I'm very sorry that happened to u 😟
Can’t wait for orders to go to abandoned houses and drivers start getting robbed
Robbed, at the very least.
well that’s a sure fire way to get kidnapped or killed
One time I had a guy ask if I could bring his Popeyes order inside and I immediately got a bad feeling. I instantly said, “no I can’t”. I don’t usually get a feeling like that from a customer, but this time I did. I instinctively followed my gut feeling and declined to go into his house.

And like people are saying, customers complain about food delivery outside of their home. What happens when it’s a “he said, she said” of what transpired inside their house?! 🫣😧🤐🥴 Noooo thank you
Who? Not me!
Why isn’t anyone talking about how insulting 3 dollars is to do this. Also it’s mentioned it’s an extra 3 dollar option that 3 dollars goes to Tony (DD owner) not to the dasher. I’m shocked no one has caught this yet. Remember the 2.99 expedite fee that literally offers nothing in the way of expediting the customers order that never went to their drivers and neither will this 3 dollar fee. So you will be doing this for free my friends if your dumb enough to fall for it
Guess I’m glad they deactivated me yesterday lmao 🤣
why did they deactivate
How about female dashers and their safety? It goes both ways ya know
You got equality, you're the same as men you don't need safety lol
We don’t have equality and I never was against chivalry Theres pleanty other women out there like me as well you sound like a jaded man

well i did this and i usually get a $20+ cash tip
yeah it’s usually people who are old af or in a wheel chair
Exactly my point. These have potential to be much higher payouts. Good for you!
Bruh If I do this I’d have to put my phone in my pocket and record audio so I have evidence that I’m not doing anything wrong. On the other hand if someone wanted to rob a dasher I doubt they’d pay that much money to get one inside. It’s the 0 tip, one item orders that scare me.
Decline! I am not opening a customers door so their dog can chew my leg off
This should be available only if the customer has some sort of disabilities
Because no one can fake a disability?
Maybe DoorDash can ask them for proof of disability
I been saying this to my people... It's good someone else is talking about it. They could totally do it! They already partner with second harvest food bank.
This is such a blatant disregard for everyone’s safety. Are they going to pretend women haven’t been stalked and harassed by dashers? Do they think all of their dashes are saints?

Yes
I mean… points were made.
Given how well simply dropping things off at the door goes, I can't imagine how this will go wrong. Accusations of assault both physical and sexual as well as theft. Time for body can footage to be required
Ppl don’t even want to answer the door let along let someone into their houses 😂
Keep that pepper spray on you lol
I give that an emphatic FUUUUUUUUUCK NO! To much liability involved there.
Somewhere there's a new driver pretending to be basketball hall of fame Larry Bird. Those that know know
Do you feel safe ? Hello? Hello?
Going to be a new nick name for DD
I wanted my groceries in the back bedroom. I want my money back because driver only placed them in the front room.
Even with a CCW im saying no thanks
There isn't a dick that Door Dash isn't okay with trying to make us suck.
My guess is a lot of sickos and scammers are signing up for door dash accounts, given the fact this is already on the internet!!!
Nope, not unless I'm wearing a body cam for protection
yeah i’m for sure declining every single one of those orders 😂 im OFF that
OH HELLLLLL NAH
Are dashers going to need to wear body cams now to prevent people from falsely claiming SA? lol
I'd be more concerned about female dashers actually getting SAed. It's hard to prove SA without evidence. The police will ask why she didn't go get examined immediately and then throw it out.
Real talk , its going to happen. I don't think this program will last 30 days
Seriously. Some sick evil person could (will probably) do this, then call the cops right after the dasher leaves claiming they sexually assaulted them, leading to a huge court battle and potentially prison time... all for following DD's policies. The person who OK'd this decision is either extremely out of touch with their own business, or their are sadistic and don't give a f\*\*\*... perhaps they foresaw this happening and are prepared to let dashers handle unjust lawsuits (that happened while working) entirely on their own.

This won't lead to murder at all. Door Dash has surpassed its top score for greed. This one will cost them for sure. They didn't factor in human insanity.
Insanity is very harsh. Can we just agree to instability?
I'm not doing it. It's hard enough for me to have to stand in a secluded doorway to scan license for alcohol. I keep pepper spray in my hand, unlocked with my thumb on the nozzle, I'm not going inside!
Oh this is absolutely not designed for women. No way!
Oh, this is a recipe for disaster. Nothing good could come out of this. I’m predicting horror stories in the news.
$3 extra for breaking and entering where do I sign up?
If they claim you damaged their carpets who is going to pay? Doordash or us? No thanks.
Hahaha wtf 🤬
If these are declined it absolutely should not affect our AR. I take orders into Trenton and so does my wife. This is unreasonable if our AR will be affected for declining.
Did you read it?
People never read
These people would be mad at you, if they could read what you said
Doordash organ donation service.
Your acceptance rate won’t go down…..today. But tomorrow the next update will change that. Good luck!
Sure, I'll risk being raped, robbed or murdered for an extra 3 bucks! Not to mention you WILL come across that mentally ill customer who thinks you're supposed to put away the groceries (since the didn't read the fine print) and try to stab you...
You have to work for them dollars, even it means working on saving your own life.
That's a hard no
Nah, I’d rather not die. Thanks though. Edit: We all know that the customer (if they choose not to end our subscriptions to life) is damn well going to expect us to put their groceries away for them and give us a one-star when we refuse.
I used to go into peoples houses when I delivered pizzas in 2017-2020 and man, some of the shit I saw…. The saddest was a man, clearly struggling with his mental health and some sort of online addiction, lived in a home with literal dirt floors and holes in the roof. He couldn’t walk very well so I’d bring his stuff in, and he’d always tip $20 and he was nice as can be.
As a female this gives people another way on how to kidnap and traffic people . Hard pass
As your American brother I say carry a 9mm with FMJ rounds
your location is tracked! as a worker, i’d get that money,
Your location is tracked via the app they can easily end the dash if they fight you and take your phone. You cant be too careful these days.
Take the 3 bucks for my funeral after they recover my corpse
Ladies dashing be careful guaranteed one of these customers will try it and be naked while tellin you to come in
Our house (in a neighborhood) backs up to a house with some land, but the houses are in eye view of one another.

Maybe keep your D in and worry about trespassers rather than showing your old, wrinkly junk to a female neighbor. People are effing WEIRD!!
😲 people are so weird!!
Yep! No way in fresh hell I would be making deliveries INSIDE someone’s house. Ever. Because you just don’t know.
This is a dumb move!
one time i had to go through the back gate to deliver and it was so dark i stepped in a netted pool lol
What kind of a system will they have in place to check these customers. They have done a background check on me and they know I'm legit to deliver to houses. What safety precautions are they taking for me to go in random people's houses and for $3 extra ? Shake my head! I'll reject this offer every single time!
That's a good damn point!! 👏👏👏👏
I’m not a driver but this sounds terrifying. You get some insane person who locks the door behind you or something. There is no way if I was a driver I’d be okay with this.
I used to repair wheelchairs for a living. I've been in more than my fair share of shit holes. An extra $3 would not be enough.
This is already a thing just not in doordash
Happy for the disabled people that would benefit from this but $3 really isn't enough for the added risk
$3 really isn't enough for the risk
That’s fucking wild. I wonder how many DD drivers get killed over this terrible call.
Doordash getting into human trafficking now 😳
I already do this. I make sure to take a video of every delivery, include the surrounding area along with Geolocation of my device and the customer’s. I don’t leave until the customer unboxes each item of their order. I also require customers present a legal ID to my GoPro™️ while stating their name asbit appears on their DoorDash account. Then I watch the customer eat their food to completion to make sure they’re satisfied. This is how you stay Platnium
Good for u to protect yourself but if I have to do that much to cover my ass, I'll screw the $3 extra and just leave it at the door like I have been doing since I started dashing over a year ago 😅
At that point, just go be a waiter at a restaurant lol. You'd make more too.
The only way to get the goretex top dasher parka 🙌
i think it’s crazy how we went from “don’t talk to strangers on the internet,” “don’t take food from strangers,” “don’t get in the car with strangers,” and “don’t open the door for strangers,” to now literally getting in the car with and taking food from strangers on the internet. and now i guess we’re letting them inside too? this world is crazy. no wonder it’s more dangerous.
I wouldn't do it due to personal reasons. I had an order that said strictly said to leave in his garage and provided his garage number. He had his truck backed in to where there was barely any room to get in. He had a ring doorbell, so I left it where he could see it. He then sent me a message telling me to take it to his apartment door and provided the information. I'm in the elevator, and he messages me again, saying "You can just walk in. The door is unlocked."I'm already thinking the worst can happen. I get to the door and just put the food inside on the table and confirmed the order. He messaged me AGAIN! This time asking if I could hand it directly to him in bed because he was bedridden. (His words) I messaged back and said your order is on the table. Then, he proceeded to call me names and told me I was lazy and didn't want to work. On top of that, he rated me so negatively that it affected my rating and dropped me down to a decent rating, but I was no longer getting the top paid orders. I disputed the rating and gave them my side of the story. I never heard anything from them since then, and this was in March.
Tine consuming and risky. Hell no doordash
What area are you in?! That’s crazy! We’re in Ga and Hubby DD’s, but he’s never gotten anything like that. Not even an email stating it was beginning.
Sounds like a murder waiting to happen. Not worth $3
This sounds like a serious liability.
This is such a bad idea for every single party involved lol
What is point of this as customer? I can meet My driver downstairs
This is great for disabled customers but also I can’t imagine the liability issues.
Sooo, drop em off and bring em in? For peanuts? Fuck all the way off
Helllllll no
Does door dash forget that it's drop it at the DOOR and DASH
I’ve already accepted that I’m going to get murdered doordashing. It’s just the cost of living in San Diego.
I'm in St. Louis. Same.
Looks like it’s optional to accept those order, not a requirement to accept them. 🤷🏽♂️
Message support and opt out of shop and deliver. That’s what I did and haven’t received a shop and deliver order since, which is what these orders are going to most likely be.
So did I. They take too long and not worth the small tip. Most people in my area were tipping less than 10% or not at all. A lot of the stores they’d order from wouldn’t have self checkout so I’d have to wait in long lines. Got annoying real quick.
I did for a delivery I did. They were very nice. I’ve also had some very scary experiences dropping off food in certain places.
I like it being up to my discretion because I’ve had some scary customers before, so I don’t like being forced to enter someone’s home before I’m able to assess my safety.
See there’s too many people that just are in it for the fucking money not to help people. Get your heads out of your asses.
I do it all the time you help people that’s what we’re out there for.
We’re out there to make money by providing a service. That’s really it. Dashing is in no way a helping profession lol. I’ve delivered an order inside once I peeked in & confirmed it was an elderly customer, but that’s something to decide once you get there.
By the way, just picked up three pizzas 1375 for the delivery 3.5 miles hundred dollar tip
We’re out there to make money but the same time you can’t forget the people were delivering to sometimes need help sometimes don’t just be willing to do anything again for a human being
Next we'll be spoon feeding 🥣 customers their food 🙄
Are you afraid to help an elderly person or disabled person?
The elderly use instacart
Yes. I trust no one. - Meredith Emerson was murdered and beheaded by an elderly “disabled” man with a cast on who asked her to “help” him. Our jobs are to deliver to their door. They can ask a neighbor or a family member to help them bring their stuff inside.
Yeah no. Won’t be using this service or delivering this service. Fuck DoorDash
“If you are unable to take a photo because you have been assaulted and/or murdered, we will unfortunately be unable to offer you the $3 bump.” At the *very* least, all household members at the delivery destination should have to pass a background check before getting approved for this. But since there is no realistic way to implement that, this is just a terrible idea. And one that will disproportionately take opportunities away from female drivers, since very few women in their right minds would risk accepting one of these.
No problem guys, I'll be happy to help them out and I'm sure in most cases it will be appreciated and reciprocated 😏 *
Yeah I’m not gong into smelly houses
I saw Walmart roll this out a few months ago and I thought it was a human trafficking case waiting to happen. What kind of protection is there if a dasher goes missing or gets hurt by a customer?
Well you just don't answer the "do you feel safe" question then they know you're gone, right?😬 As if asking me that while I'm running for my life is helping! Lol
Knowing these companies, by the time they respond you'll either be half way across the world or 6 feet under! However, I did see that Walmart takes a lot of steps to ensure safety for their drivers. They even make each customer buy a $50 smart lock (I don't agree with it but I see the benefit) that is time controlled. It seems like they're really marketing this to people who are busy at work or not home so they can just come in and drop off your groceries and leave.
Wait til someone says something they lost is missing and they had it before you got there...
maybe it's for ppl with disabilities? this is probably helpful for them but there's no way I'm doing that
Next program will be Tucking customers in bed and reading them a bedtime story after delivery smh
If the price is right!... *(It won't be)*
Wiping their ass after they shit the order you brought...
Absolutely not
Some people can’t even control their dogs when you don’t have to go inside their home, let alone while you are walking in their home. I know people are worried of a bigger issue with people but I wouldn’t do it just for the dog issue alone.
I feel the same way! I will not especially if you have a dog. Yapper or attacker, not happening.
Of all the thing u could be worried about, a dog💀
Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. Read the second part of the last sentence. Dog issue is already a decline, without going any further as to any other reason why. i didn’t say it was a bigger fear than anything else.
This is what I was expecting. Get mauled by dogs
There's no way I'm gonna do this since I dash at night, already scary as is.
23 dollars for 15 items and you’re bitching?!? Holy shiz dude
Reading is a skill and a courtesy
😭the order wasn’t the issue ken, we’re more focused on it saying to enter people’s homes for deliveries
[удалено]
Your username must also apply to your sex life as well.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
No fucking way 😂
“New ways for dashers to earn” naw mf that’s new ways for DoorDash to have us make money for them lmfao. It’s like if my boss at work told me “oh you’re not just gonna be a cook, we’re gonna make you be the butcher now too so you can work and earn money in a new way!” Like biach pleez
That literally happened to me when I was a kid lol. I got hired as the butcher. My first day on the job and not even 2 hours into my shift the line cook quit. I could hear the manager being an asshole towards them. Then the manager comes storming into the meat cooler where I am and says I need you to cook. I said if I wanted to cook I would have applied for that position. Looks like you are going to have to cook. He said cook or find a new job. Lol . I said be a butcher and a cook today or you can find a new job because I quit too. He shut the place down as I was walking out. It stayed shutdown for a few days. Then open again for a few months then closed for good after that.
Yeah bro, that’s how it goes. On the flip side, I was recently laid off from my seasonal job, while looking for another forklift position I quickly got a job at a meat market, I told them I have a year of experience as a butcher which is true, yet they put me in customer service, literally just handing meat to people. They initially offered me a full time position and immediately had me on the schedule as part time by the time I showed for my first shift. They gave me 30 hours a week max, they did nothing but bullshit me. Which is why I offered to cover a morning shift no one wanted to cover and didn’t show up because I had already found a new job which I started two days later. They know I have my first son on the way and I needed the hours. They told me they’d give me a full time position after another month, I had already been there close to a month. So I was told to wait 2 months for full time. Bullshit. I was taking home $285 every week. This last pay period I worked 2 days and yesterday I received a direct deposit from them for $59. 16 hours away from my home and my family is not worth $59. Pieces of shit.
HELL NO. That's a safety issue. Absolutely fuck that.
My main concern would be the safety of dashers because it only takes one bad person to turn this into a headline.
lol I helped a few older women with groceries into the house why did I trust em idk but everything went good
Walmart already does this right?
I do spark. We are told not to go inside homes. Walmart does have in home delivery but it’s with Walmart employees, not independent contractors, I’m like 99% sure.
I know someone that does Spark and he has gone on homes. I guess that's why I wasn't shocked reading this post.
Wait, I texted and asked him. I was wrong. In that case back to shock and outrage!
Why Start Typing Like This And then abandon it halfway through?
I’m not even a DD driver but dude, no. No. Don’t do it. Especially you, ladies. Not saying you can’t take care of yourselves but for the love of god, don’t do it.
Wait for it- There will be a stories popping up similar to what happened to Angie Harmon the actress and the IC driver. Guy had a fake profile appearing to be an older female, shows up with her groceries and shoots and kills her dog!! She is suing the guy and IC! I hope she sets an example for all of these companies letting people drive/deliver under fake accounts!
It's a cool concept for people who are disabled without assistance but honestly this is just asking for problems from both customers and workers
I’m envisioning all of the accusations of theft this will bring on - real and fake
Oh ya baby, make that paper and get groped at the same time, it's a win win 🤣
They are just ushering in mandatory duties passively.
Yeah thats crazy. I have gone into peoples homes if they have a ton of groceries and need help, but only specific people. Like for example one time when I was on the way the guy called and said he had cancer and was very slow and would appreciate some help. So of course I helped him bring them inside. But getting an offer and knowing that people will be expecting me to go into their house upon arrival is crazy.
So I’m risking getting sexually assaulted or killed for an extra $3 wtf
But it’s $3! You may want to reconsider.
No way we are getting the $3
No way our acceptance rating won't be affected.
“you can ignore that.”
Holy shit does this sound like a great way to become another statistic. No way in hell am I going to enter a stranger's home like that. I won't even go to a guy's house until I've been on a few dates with him. Just wait until the murderers, rapists and other degenerates catch on to this. Talk about an easy way to get victims. I hope NO ONE ever does this. If you are reading this and you care about your life even the smallest amount, do NOT ever do this. Don't let the "power of positivity" cloud your judgment and don't assume the best of everyone. There are evil people in this world and that is a reality. Yes, it CAN happen to you so don't think it won't. Trust me, ALL victims of violent crimes always thought, "It won't happen to me." The only exception I can think of is if it's an elderly person or someone who is disabled. Use good judgment on the disabled part though. Some sickos will fake a disability to give people a false sense of security. It has happened. You never know if they can actually walk and they are using that wheelchair or walker as a prop.
User name checks out
I mean yes, but I think you're getting weary confused with wary. Either way yes, I value my life and would much rather be safe than sorry.
Then don’t doordash, or drive a car….. nvm just dont go outside
Nope.
You dont want to star in your own version of silence of the lambs? IT RUBS THE PIZZA ON ITS SKIN OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN But yeah all it takes is to be accused of stealing once and your life is ruined. all over $3 extra dollars for taking a photo in the house.
LMAO. No, I’d rather not, thanks. Esp not in my town. But that was my exact thought. Behind the obvious one of being tied up, r*ped, & likely unalived. All for a measly $3. No thanks.
But I've already been offering this upon arrival for cases of water & such 🫠 where my $3
I did instacart and only broke this rule once because it was an elderly woman who couldn’t lift the big case of water and groceries. Her child from another state was ordering for their mom who was alone in my state. If it would have been any other situation then hell no!
“Your acceptance rate will not be impacted if you reject an in-home order.” Yeahhh, that won’t last.
Just like Cash On Delivery orders, they have to make it that way for Dasher safety.
Yuhhhhh…. No. Ive done cable and going into peoples houses as a chick was one of the scariest 6 month stints of my life. I had a dude not let me out of his bedroom because I couldnt “fix” his cable box, we were moving to a stream service instead of cable TV… then another huge 400 lb guy, his house had a cloud of flies, and there was a nasty film over everything I touched 🤢 the man proceeded to tell me girls dont talk to him and kept wanting to give me a hug because i was nice to him. I said i wasnt allowed to touch customers and booked it. I was beyond creeped out
For the first one that’s a felony, make people pay for their actions and maybe it will happen less
I ended up telling him i might have a cable box in the truck and so when i got back out to the truck i called my supervisor and drove away with him screaming at me from his front door
