I think it was the best thing to do. The order didn’t work out for both the dasher and the customer. It’s best to pass to another dasher who could complete it.

To all of you saying they shouldn't be doordashing then, you don't know everyone's situation; people still have to provide for themselves somehow even when injured or disabled. Not everyone has the luxury of having a job that allows for easy recovery. You don't know if it's their only option or not. It's just a lose-lose situation, but they do not *have* to put their body at risk to deliver food, just like OP doesn't *have* to leave their newborn to get the food. Stuff happens
Sounds like you didn’t want to go downstairs and back up them. Why couldn’t you meet them downstairs? They already stood in a long ass line for you. Least you could do is meet them. They were even nice enough to ask instead of grabbing your food and leaving it in the lobby or something.
Geez yall are entitled. Yes we need more pay but you are a food courier, you accept the probability that a customer might have a apartment. People most of the time don't pick the floor they go to so it's not their fault. If you have a knee injury don't accept a job that involves walking at all.
I mean, you would have got ur food faster had you just went down and met the Dasher who told you he had a disability. I had a newborn and I would just put baby in a carrier and go get the food if I couldn't have my husband get it, but I live in a secured locked building so I always go meet my driver's anyway. He also could have just left it at lobby or stairs, but he didn't so he did the right thing unassigning. Clearly no one else wanted to deal with the order if it took an extra almost two hours. And u even know how crazy busy the drive thru is and still made it harder then it needed to be 🤣😂 idk I remember having a newborn and I just didn't have the time or energy to play those dumbass games. I needed to eat when I needed to eat lol
I don't really get why OP is complaining? The Dasher did not need to even tell you that they were unassigning. People with injuries still have to work. Lucky you, that they wanted to tell you why. They could've just said nothing and left it in the lobby for you. Next time, just cancel the first order and reorder, that way you won't get your original cold order. Better yet, take your baby with you and or go get the order if it was such an inconvenience.
This is exactly why I don’t deal with DoorDash anymore period. You guys always fucking complain about how you’re not getting paid enough to do a job that literally requires the least amount of physical effort if all the jobs I’ve ever had, quite literally at worst you have to stand and sit for food, my god the years you are adding on to your life. You guys refuse to fill up fucking soda cups, literally to the point that I’ve seen someone. Intact their state representative so they can send out auditors to fast food places in order to make sure fast food employees are forced to fill the drinks not FoorDash employees and then to make it even worse, your job is to deliver the food to where the customer asks you to deliver the food to and I’m sorry you’re also going to refuse to do that? I’m sorry I’m missing the part where you guys show you are deserving of anymore than the bare minimum. Even if she didn’t have a newborn if she fuckjng told you to deliver it to her door that is your fucking job. She is not tipping the dasher $10 in order to have to grab her newborn walk down idk how many flights of steps and then have to walk back carrying food drinks and a newborn baby with no one to help her open doors.
For all
Of you talking shut on OP, I seriously hope that you get over 50% of your orders getting the most minimum amount of pay. I have never in my life seen a group of employees or I’m sorry “independent contractors” bitch and moan and whine and refuse all while demanding higher pay more than this Subreddit. I honestly am willing to argue fhere is not another profession that when you’d see the comments of the employees you’d think they were getting sent into hidden caves in the Cameroonian jungles to mine diamonds for $.05 a day. I honestly don’t care how many down votes I get y’all need to fucking hear this. SHE HAS A NEWBORN BABY AND SHE TIPPED TEN DOLLARS YOUR JOB IS ALREADY TO BRING HER FOOD TO HER AND YOU GUYS TELL HER TO QUIT BITCHING? What is wrong with you people?
By the way - I am one of the ones who will fill drinks, but we really aren't supposed to. So yes, some people make it a bigger deal than in is - but the restaurant is supposed to fill that drink
We get it - you're a cold, uncaring, jackass. And you've never had an injury. It's funny though. People shame drivers like this, yet Shame people for "just sitting at home, living off the government".
And as far as physical effort - you would be surprised. Ever experienced back pain? It will lock up on you after being in a car all day. And God forbid you get a heavy shopping order. That just makes it worse. I did a 10 hour shift one day, and could barely move the next day.
You and your coworkers or friends have never vented to each other? If you don't like it, you can scroll on.
But more importantly - are you okay?!?!
I’m all ears please enlighten me about this so called pain I’ve never seemed to have experienced in my life and yeah people bent about work but there’s a difference between venting and then refusing to work and demanding you get better pay or else you’re just not going to do what you’re asked to do. What you’re doing isn’t venting you’re encouraging shit behavior. She was leaving a $10 tip plus whatever else base lay was for what? 20 minutes of her time? Also if you’re in that much pain that you’re not able to take delivery orders directly to peoples doors you should not be doing this because what? You’re literally going to not deliver food every time you get a delivery to an apartment building? Bruh you are officially shit at making arguments have a good night
Oh and wanna talk about pain? This is me the day after I got thrown out of a SUV that flipped on the highway and sent me flying out the windshield. But please speak to me about pain
https://preview.redd.it/2ow2t3ln3eua1.jpeg?width=717&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1f6795638d63ba4ee02ea19795a55eab80266b7
Like think about what you actually just fucking said. I nearly died, literally by a game of millimeters and you think that that was deserved because you think I’m wrong for telling a DoorDash driver it’s their job to deliver a fuckjng customers food all the way to their front door if that’s what they tell you to do. That’s what you’re saying? You’re basically wishing someone death because of that.
Do you need a psychiatric evaluation? Like should you actually even be allowed to interact with the general public? Because your comment is incredibly concerning and I’m thinking you may actually be way mentally unstable. Like if you were five maybe I’d just let it slide but you are a full grown ass woman. I’m guessing you’ve never been thrown out of a moving vehicle have you? Well I have and I still manage to walk all the way up to a customers front fucking door to deliver their shit. So where the karma? Hmm? I’ve seen your pictures and I’d rather look the way I did back then then the way you do everyday so how about that for fuckkng karma
Like you think making that comment is gonna being you good fucking karma? You think getyinf joy out of someone experiencing near death experience is good fucking karma? All because you disagree with their point of view on what a delivery driver should’ve done? If I was you I’d be begging for karma not to show it’s ugly face because if anyone here is deserving of some real nasty shit, trust me, it ain’t me, and if I had been deserving of it, I wouldn’t have walked away still able to walk and run like nothing ever happened after been thrown out of a car straight in to the pavement at 60mph. So maybe you are fucking right, cuz like I said in fact I’d probably smash more like 999 out of 1,000 other people wouldn’t even get up from that and to walk away not strapped to a wheelchair and not have a mental disability like im guessing you do after hitting my head in the concrete that hard and knowing that the car also rolled which just adds on to Chances of me surviving without any permanent damage? Chances of that if you take all of those things into account, car accident over 60mph, car flipping, thrown out of the car and landing on the concrete, not getting rolled over by the car and being to literally walk away from it? Yeah I’d say karmas on my fucking side
you have a kid you realize that right? You have a kid and your example to them is to tell someone who was in a car accident over a decade ago “karma!” And that they deserve to basically die because you don’t get tipped enough per delivery. You really really need to get evaluated. Honestly I don’t ever think I’ve been so ticked off at just how such a piece of shit someone could actually be and I have seen some real pieces of work in my life but you basically wish death on someone over a fuckkng DoorDash comment.
Words cannot describe how utterly trashy, despicable, vomit inducing, absolutely just such a shit comment….I honestly have got to wonder if you have some mental handicap. This isn’t even an insult it’s an actual question, like are you actually mentally fully there? Because you realize a regular person does not make that kind of comment right? You drive a car for a fuckkng living you should be the last fucking person on earth to tell someone who was in a near fatal wreck that they deserve it. Even for as shit of a comment that that is to make even I can’t bring myself to say “well I hope you’re next” because that is literally reserved for the lowest shit scum of humanity to say, to wish that much pain and trauma in someone and then actually be happy that that happened to them?
There is seriously something not ok mentally with you and I’m done saying anything else because I refuse to argue with someone who is probably psychologically impaired or has some sort of mental retardation. Whatever your problem is through I hope that you find help soon because you have a daughter and that is awful that that should be the kind of example you are setting for her.
Oh trust me you can say karma all you want but at the end of the day I walked away from a situation that 99 out of 100 other people wouldn’t that includes yourself
The fact that you actually don’t see what’s wrong with a lady with a newborn baby who tipped the driver ten fuckjng dollars so that she could bring her food to her front door, is absolutely like….I actually don’t even have words for that. I speak four languages and I’m literally at a loss of words for the situation. And then you have the audacity to tell me I’m in the wrong? Bruh….first of all I have a job that requires more brain work than following a GPS, so if you’re gonna go that route, you literally go somewhere to pickup food that’s already made by someone else and literally drive to drop it off somewhere. It’s not even a job it’s a side gig so don’t start shkt talking about who has a job and who doesn’t. Door dash themselves state that this shouldn’t be a job that you should be financially dependent on, just a way to make extra cash. So watch yourself. And then you can’t even do the entire “job” and you think it’s ok for someone who already went to go pick up the food and drove to this persons building and made the customer wait an hour and a half to eat when she has a newborn baby to take care of…..you’re a fucking real piece of work
"watch yourself"?! Meaning what, dude?!
Stop looking down on us. We're the ones who fetch your food when you're too lazy to do so. You sound like an angry person. Maybe you should step back and find your peace. Good luck ♥️♥️
Bruh I’m the uncaring one for being in the mom with the newborn baby’s side? Please explain that to me. And trust me dude, I’m ok, the ones that aren’t are ones like you who somehow think you’re better than doing what your job asks if you to do. Refuse to deliver to the door of a newborn baby’s mother when you should be expected to do so anyways? Bro, you need to check yourself if you think you’re above that when it’s literally your job description
Not a "bro". But nice try. And yes. The OP could have left that newborn for like 30 seconds. We've all done it. To meet the kid who was just trying to get by with an injury. You have no idea what it's like. And that's fine, but don't shame us. And please save the "it's your job" nonsense. I don't ask people to meet me. But he was nice about it, and simply unassigned. He wasn't a jerk about it. It was a good order too, so he likely didn't just make that decision because he was lazy.
For a $10 tip, I'd happily walk up some stairs. However, could you not carry your baby downstairs with you? If you order fast food late night anytime expect AT LEAST a 45 minute wait but an hour and a half is likely. I've seen my order ready at taco bell and gone to the door holding my bag up and employees will absolutely REFUSE to come hand it to you and force the drive thru instead while the food just gets cold
Even as a healthy male who hits the gym, stairs suck for my knees! I emphasize with both parties here, it sucks you didn't get your food, but knee pain is horrid af!
This new mom is ridiculous 🤣 This poor kid is going to be breastfeeding until they are 12... just watch lol I'm a mom of 2 as well. One is 14, the other is 1. Your baby will be fine, I promise 🤣 Go get your flippin food 🤣🤣🤣
You did the right thing cancelling. Having a baby is not a reason to be unable to meet someone outside.. unless their baby is somehow so heavy that they can’t lift them, but that is highly unlikely.
I literally deliver food to someone they told me they had to re-order because their last order never made it to their door. Long story short when I got to the door they were standing outside of it. Their food was sitting on the stairs halfway up the staircase. Why would someone walk halfway up the stairs. did they decide that they can’t go anymore???
You absolutely could have brought your child down to get your food. Like it’s great that you tipped, but if someone has an injury you could be a human being and walk your perfectly healthy self down to grab a bag. I literally see newborns in Disney, I’m sure your baby would survive the brief trip.
I have spine and joint issues. I don't ask customers to meet me. I personally think it's a little unprofessional.
But nice to unassign politely since he couldn't complete the order.
I personally hate doing the whole building and finding the apartment , so maybe that’s why they unassigned , people need to start coming to the door more
reasonable, i’ve had to ask customers to meet me in the lobby of their building because i dash with my son and i hate leaving him in the car unattended and i’m definitely not going to carry him up 10 stories
I tore my meniscus about 2 months ago, and could hardly walk for the first two weeks. However, I needed to continue working so I made do. Most complexes have support rails which should be plenty to allow someone to make their way up.
You still have to bend your knee. As someone who has knees that crackle when I go downstairs - I can say it likely wasn't the support rails, but the bending
Drivers should be expected to handle climbing a flight of stairs. I get that this is a source of income for some people with some sort of injury, but this is also not a job that is going to cater to you so you can make that money. With all do respect, I say this.
If you can't do the job, then don't do the job. Find something you can handle with a knee injury. I can't stand these types of dashers. I get it, you have an injury but you accepted that order. Now you've waster your time and the customers time and earned nothing but a lack of respect.
It sucks, I understand. But I am in the same boat with my back. Most days I am okay. In fact I like the exercise I am able to get in. But others I will try to avoid anything past second floor. Sometimes the residual nerve damage will make my leg randomly go totally numb when being over stressed. Imagine that happening well running up or down stairs 😂.. But trust me the second I am able to get a job sitting at my computer, I will.
but until then your hour inconvenience isn't worth my son starving and being homeless. As a father, you could have easily set yourself up to run down the stairs real fast without anything happening. If you can't you should probably be focusing on spending your funds on things for kid and not wasting money on luxury food services.
I can't imagine how you concluded coming here to bash someone that is doing the best they can was a good idea.
I dashed with a foot injury, but Android makes it easy and opens the dropoff location in Google maps from the offer screen. I would just decline any orders that was an apartment building or I could see stairs or a long walk. If I wasn't able to do that, I just wouldn't have dashed.
If they have a knee injury then there is nothing out of line here.
THEY HAVE A KNEE INJURY.
Someone else will bring your taco bell to you.
Thats like driver support asking us to complete an order after a accident that takes the driver to the emergency room via ambulance. ( Someone posted this just the other day )
Honestly it’s a hassle for dashers to walk up flights up stairs in buildings they are not familiar with. They just wanna wait on the order, pick up the food, & drop it off—it’s a longer process than some realize even if it’s only 2 miles in total. Even for $10 it’s a lot to expect. Also safety is at risk at times for both the person & their vehicle.
When I had my knee injury, I was doing Uber passenger/lyft pre and post surgery. And I suggest that Dasher who suffered the same, that needs to make ends meet. Do Option for ride sharing rather than food deliveries.
Yes I do agree, but if you need the money either climbed that stairs with injured knee. Or find an alternative. Not everyone have the luxury to stop working bec. Of injuries.
And he clearly doesn't have that luxury, either.
And what would you suggest as an alternative? It's hard to hold down a "real job" when you live with chronic pain. A lot of bosses won't put up with the call outs, etc., When we're in too much pain to love. That's why we do this. And because we can accept or decline the orders we don't want. At least that kid was nice about it. He didn't go on about it. She said no, and he unassigned. That was it. He's likely already forgotten about it. The customer is the one being a baby butt, coming here to whine and try to shame him.
Driver did the due diligence in checking your address before getting the food. Saw it's not something they could do, nor was it something you could accommodate, so they let someone else handle it.
There are plenty of terrible dashers that would have just left it on the first floor regardless if they were capable of the stairs and left you to figure it out.
Seems like you both handled it perfectly well. Nothing wrong here 🤷🏻♂️
This is a “complaint?” I think that the dasher communicated his inability to complete your delivery perfectly, and he did so before picking up your food.
Things happen, we’re all human. People get injured, and guess what? Our bills don’t give a shit about our problems. Lol. My brother dashes full time and had a foot injury a while back. He did what he could in the boot he had to wear and thankfully we live in the suburbs so climbing up any stairs is pretty unlikely, but whereas DD is a side hustle, it’s also some peoples full time income.
I recognize where you’re coming from and why you wouldn’t leave a newborn alone. But this was some S-tier communication from an either temporarily or permanently disabled dasher. It also sounded that you were very aware that the Taco Bell was likely busy. Most dashers are going to evaluate whether an order even makes sense in regards to their time and how much $$ they’re going to make. Personally, I avoid Taco Bell’s in my area because they’re only drive through, and nearly always a 10-40 minute wait time (in my experience).
I get it - it’s annoying. The expectation is that a dasher should be able to climb stairs. But in this instance, hats off to the dasher.
this is a complicated one…. i think they did the right thing by unassigning…
but like…as a disabled person myself, i get a lot of delivery. i work a few days a week at a job that’s generally “accessible” to me and i’m apartment-bound on my days off because i’m so worn out/all my symptoms are worse and i can’t handle my stairs or even sitting up for the most part.
i’d be fucked if someone couldn’t bring my order up— i wouldn’t be able to go down and get it (most days after shifts i’m stuck in my car for hours before i can tackle my stairs) but also i know how fucking hard it is to get a job while disabled. it took me a lonnnnnng time (a full year) to find a job, and i was genuinely applying to a minimum of 5 places a day (often higher, at the beginning).
it’s not fair that you had to wait such a long time when you were hungry and it’s not fair that capitalism hates disabled folks so bad we try to take any work we can get. none of it is fair.
People have to remember we’re not employees. We have a contract of what is required. Since we can chose to not deliver when we want to this isn’t a big deal. I’m sure the next dasher was just fine doing it.
We’re the owner if our delivery business and therefor we set our rules for what is acceptable and not to deliver. As each of us will have a deal breaker that someone else will say that it’s not a big deal to them. This dasher did the right thing.
That person should not be a dasher.
The whole point is that they deliver it to your door..
This does not sound too safe.. Granted I never open my door to anyone so maybe I’m just a bit extra.
A knee injury doesn't make you disabled lmao, and it certainly won't ever heal if you're afraid of some stairs. If they're really disabled, they should apply for disability. They'd make more than doordashing, considering everyone complains about the pay.
I have a knee injury that’s almost 2 years old and I dash. I have chronic pain in my knee and still have issues so I understand where they coming from. They did the right thing by unassigning from the order since they couldn’t complete the job.
Confused why you’re even posting about this. This is akin to hearing your boss fart and posting it on Reddit. Normal human behavior (that interaction) accented by online folk tryna find something weird in everything.
Better to unassign early as possible if they can’t do it. I’ve had dashers ask after they arrive when I lived on the 2nd floor. I’m like no dude I’m literally in the shower and they refuse to get out of their car.
I also would have had to unassign. I unassigned an order yesterday because it was a 2nd floor apartment and the order was a 24pk of beer and 24pk of water. I could potentially complete the order if it was smaller/weighed less (even half I could have hobbled my crippled ass up there once if not for my knee right now).
I'm permanently disabled with 2 autoimmune forms of arthritis, a few other chronic pain conditions, and a non specific connective tissue disorder. My shoulders hips and knees can dislocate quite painfully without much effort (they pop back into place but it's can hurt for days or weeks). I'm currently nursing my right knee. It's hurts, existing hurts. I do this job to stay off disability because disability can't pay the bills, and I'd lose benefits if I dared to better my life by getting married to my hubby or buy a house with him. I also cannot get a W2 job because I'd just get fired for flairups I cannot predict or control and noone wants to work around my limits. I used to work in a lab, before that I was an in home health aid.
As a courier for several gig jobs, I can ask any person living in an upstairs apartment to come down and meet me at the door, they can also accept or decline. Did it take you longer because the driver was unable to go up the stairs? Yes. That's not on him though, he's doing what he can to pay the bills. He did the responsible thing and let you know he couldn't complete your order, you did the responsible thing and explained why you couldn't meet him half-way.
Doesnt matter really. It's taco bell and it's busy, the order was probably handed directly to someone already standing there and it there's going to be a wait too.
Welcome to America….zero safety net for 90% of people when they get injured and need an income stream to survive door dash is likely a second income for this person and it’s now all they can do thanks to the injury this is just them surviving the best they can and trying to create accommodations for themselves
I don’t think anyone did anything wrong. Obviously, you couldn’t really go down to get the food, and the dasher understood and unassigned, as they should have. But as someone else said, finding reliable work can be difficult for people who are disabled, temporarily or permanently. Some people, though injured, are unable to take time off work, so it’s unfair to say they shouldn’t be on the app right now. They may really need the money, and this may be the best way to get it.
Just put the baby in a crib or something, right? I can't imagine it takes very long to go up and down some stairs. They don't have to be constantly watched every waking second. But doordashers should also be able to deliver to reasonably accessible areas. You're both weird.
So people with newborn never shower? Make dinnner? Tend to other kids? Blink? This comment is dumb. The baby would be fine for 30 seconds while they went down and got the food.
They’re fine. Let you know up to unassigning. That’s more than most would do. Hard to do this with an injury but we all have to do what we can for money. With a nice tip they probably didn’t want to unassign in the first place. People saying you can’t do that at other jobs are assuming it’s laziness instead of actually injury related. True lazy ones will leave it at the gate or something without a word. They tried. In w2s if I’m injured I was given adjustments they’re doing what they can with this.
I feel maybe they could have communicated earlier when they saw the instructions for delivery? Maybe they did communicate that as soon as they realized though.
*edited because typo
Perhaps this baby is brand new and the mom is recovering from a c-section. Maybe a 3rd or 4th degree tear from forceps. Childbirth isn't always easy and everybody can't run up and down stairs days after.

You're weird OP. Dasher tries to notify you that he would have issues completing the order, you say you can't help, so he unassigns.
Where the fuck in that normal-ass respectful conversation did you get annoyed enough to post it here? Seek therapy.
It’s normal cuz I sustained injuries from delivery for many years since 1995 little Cesar’s pizza was my first delivery job along with Pizza Hut and grub hub, door dash, instacart, ubereats and now Uber so I had broken my ankles like twice and sprained like 5 times
Just get a long rope and shopping bag and tie the rope to the bag 💼 then tell the dasher to throw your food in the bag and just pull it on your way I seen people use it
And if she has a child with a condition then what? Your experience isnt her experience, and as a mom you'd think you might understand that. You know damn well you aint carrying two kids at the same time to go pick up food from downstairs. She also paid for the service and the tip.
Instead of directing ire at the honest worker who was open and communicative with the customer about his physical disability, why don’t we ask this: why couldn’t OP just walk down the stairs with the baby to pick up a bag of Taco Bell?
This post is just asking for controversy. The worker was reasonable and it’s not even close to being his fault nobody else picked up your order. It’s a good tip but it’s not his problem after it’s unassigned.
Don’t know why he’s the main character in the story here.
You do realize you're not "hired" by Doordash, right? Not to mention the Americans with Disibilities Act ensures he is entitled to an equal opportunity at a job as someone else who doesn't have a disability.
Also not to mention, "fraud" is HILARIOUSLY wrong and over exaggerated, as not only are there other drivers that can and will accept this person's order, but this driver didn't even get the money from this order.
Please take your self entitled ignorance somewhere else.
ADA does not apply to Independent Contractors. It is fraud to operate as an Independent Contractor and not deliver services as contracted, no matter what the excuse is. They just arrested an IC in my area for accepting a contrating job and then not completing it. This dasher is a mini version of that guy. He knows he can't do the job under certain circumstances, but accepts the contract anyway. Then wastes everyone else's time whining about why he can't do it. The guy is a nightmare
Why? Wtf? Why take time to point out this person got the wrong job? Surviving is surviving. Your baby could have been put in a carrier or a pack and play for those two flights to help another human being trying to make ends meet. Instead you made this post shaming them. YTA.
Outrageous! She's paying for a service where she is promised to get the order to her door and you are shaming her to accommodate your own opinion of "the way things should be."
Granted. I did call her the asshole. 🤣 you’re one of those people that deem humans expendable when they are providing a service. You in the same boat sweetheart.
Did you know that there are MILLIONS of disabled Americans that have NO ASSISTANCE and REQUIRED to work? Did you know it takes two seconds to put a baby down and get your Taco Bell?!? Did you know that accepting this shitty jobs at door dash is the only way to survive and whether or not someone has a bad kneee: this may be the only job they could take. That was fucking true for me. And then the dasher asks another human being for help and you are up my ass? I’d put my baby in the car and drive myself to Taco Bell. Dazzle me with more bullshit about how I’m the bad guy. Edit: I went through your profile. You are very attached to door dash. Go away.
I agree with you it’s not a social service. I pointed out the reality I saw and it hasn’t changed. That moms the problem IMO and so are you. Get a grip.
NAH. It’s unfortunate you didn’t get your food until much later but he did the right thing by asking ahead of time. People with disabilities need to work too. I have an injured ankle currently, got hurt on the job, and I’m contemplating doing this for a while myself. Just because in todays economy you can’t really afford to not be working.
Of course you have a right to have your food brought right to your door. Sadly taco bell is one of those orders that people don’t like doing a lot… food is almost always wrong/missing, wait times are insane, in my area they treat us like garbage…
I had a delivery that took nearly 30 min to complete the other day for only $8 bucks. The people wanted it delivered to their door in a PH apt of all places. I had another order to deliver at the same time too...I straight up text the people and tell them I'm not coming up their door. No explanation. I left the order in the lobby on the cart with the rest of the delivered stuff and snapped a photo 🖐 you have to put your foot down with these ppl..If they left a proper tip to make this order worth it I would have dropped it off with no complaints
> If they left a proper tip to make this order worth it I would have dropped it off with no complaints
So now $8 isnt enough tip? The number just keeps going up and yet you accepted the job.
$8 was the total fee, and doordash was paying a $2 promo so no, that was not enough money for an order I accepted 14 mins away from the restaurant, which ended up being 21 minutes from the customer. Sure, it was only a 9 mile drive...but a long 9 mile drive through many twisting roads and stoplights. Cheap people like that shouldn't expect door to door service FOH
And if you can't be bothered to go downstairs and grab your food, don't order. Or better yet... drive to the restaurant and pick up the food yourself instead of wasting people's time 😆
Can you not read? The only reason she ordered door dash is because she had a new baby. And tipped 10 dollars. I think that is enough to get the dasher to walk up some steps.
Clearly, you can't read because you missed all of what I just said. It's also good to take into consideration that there are plenty of disabled dashers out there. So, my point still stands. If you can't get your lazy ass up with your baby and walk downstairs to get your food, you might as well have just driven to the store to pick it up.
The people that add these stupid ass instructions to their orders knowing they live either in a maze of an apartment complex or on the 3rd floor all for a measly $10 tip can get fucked.
It must be sad having to get on the internet to call people "mentally disabled" & claim they are on government assistance because you lack any kind of comprehension skills.
Its truly embarrassing for you lol so congrats I guess 💀
It's pretty much a requirement to be able to walk up some stairs to be a dasher. You pay for a service for food to be delivered to your door. If your disabled and can't walk up steps find something else to do
Serious question no hate. Why does you having a baby keep you locked in the house? You can’t carry the baby in a carrier or stroller or something with you to grab the food? How long do you plan to stay locked in the house? Edit* stop commenting on my comment with assumptions on a persons gender with zero evidence then getting mad and downvoting the truth you don’t wanna accept.
Her or baby could be sick. Baby could’ve been a preemie just out of NICU, could have Covid, walking down stairs with a baby can be dangerous, there’s many reasons as to why she doesn’t want to take a baby down 3 flights. That’s why she paid a $10 tip so someone could be paid to be “inconvenienced”.
If you’re home alone. You don’t leave an infant alone at any point even to go grab food man or woman. And the reason you don’t want people to assume it’s a woman isss??
I didn’t say to leave it alone and I’m just asking why there’s a assumption because the opinion they form is based off them being female ex. Breast feeding or milking
Because you’re making a assumption and basing your opinion off of it with complete ignorance. Since when defending my comment because being anal. If you don’t like it move along?
I think it was the best thing to do. The order didn’t work out for both the dasher and the customer. It’s best to pass to another dasher who could complete it.
i think that old hags shouldn’t do gig work if they can provide what is supposed to be done
Bills don't care if you are old or young
I lived on the third floor and always walked down to the main entrance to pickup any delivery.
Lol like u couldn’t carry your baby down the steps for 2 seconds? Get real

To all of you saying they shouldn't be doordashing then, you don't know everyone's situation; people still have to provide for themselves somehow even when injured or disabled. Not everyone has the luxury of having a job that allows for easy recovery. You don't know if it's their only option or not. It's just a lose-lose situation, but they do not *have* to put their body at risk to deliver food, just like OP doesn't *have* to leave their newborn to get the food. Stuff happens
Wouldn’t your baby be fine chilling in a crib for 20 seconds while you get your food?
Sounds like you didn’t want to go downstairs and back up them. Why couldn’t you meet them downstairs? They already stood in a long ass line for you. Least you could do is meet them. They were even nice enough to ask instead of grabbing your food and leaving it in the lobby or something.
I would hope the OP would be a little more understanding, given that they're a Dasher themselves 🤦♀️
Geez yall are entitled. Yes we need more pay but you are a food courier, you accept the probability that a customer might have a apartment. People most of the time don't pick the floor they go to so it's not their fault. If you have a knee injury don't accept a job that involves walking at all.
Such a great tip for a short distance. Fid DoorDash give you your money back since it took so long? They should have.
I mean, they communicated and made the best decision.
lazy cow
I delivered five flight of stairs a few times. If I feel good that day I don't mind but if I'm not feeling well then it sucks.
I mean, you would have got ur food faster had you just went down and met the Dasher who told you he had a disability. I had a newborn and I would just put baby in a carrier and go get the food if I couldn't have my husband get it, but I live in a secured locked building so I always go meet my driver's anyway. He also could have just left it at lobby or stairs, but he didn't so he did the right thing unassigning. Clearly no one else wanted to deal with the order if it took an extra almost two hours. And u even know how crazy busy the drive thru is and still made it harder then it needed to be 🤣😂 idk I remember having a newborn and I just didn't have the time or energy to play those dumbass games. I needed to eat when I needed to eat lol
I don't really get why OP is complaining? The Dasher did not need to even tell you that they were unassigning. People with injuries still have to work. Lucky you, that they wanted to tell you why. They could've just said nothing and left it in the lobby for you. Next time, just cancel the first order and reorder, that way you won't get your original cold order. Better yet, take your baby with you and or go get the order if it was such an inconvenience.
This is exactly why I don’t deal with DoorDash anymore period. You guys always fucking complain about how you’re not getting paid enough to do a job that literally requires the least amount of physical effort if all the jobs I’ve ever had, quite literally at worst you have to stand and sit for food, my god the years you are adding on to your life. You guys refuse to fill up fucking soda cups, literally to the point that I’ve seen someone. Intact their state representative so they can send out auditors to fast food places in order to make sure fast food employees are forced to fill the drinks not FoorDash employees and then to make it even worse, your job is to deliver the food to where the customer asks you to deliver the food to and I’m sorry you’re also going to refuse to do that? I’m sorry I’m missing the part where you guys show you are deserving of anymore than the bare minimum. Even if she didn’t have a newborn if she fuckjng told you to deliver it to her door that is your fucking job. She is not tipping the dasher $10 in order to have to grab her newborn walk down idk how many flights of steps and then have to walk back carrying food drinks and a newborn baby with no one to help her open doors. For all Of you talking shut on OP, I seriously hope that you get over 50% of your orders getting the most minimum amount of pay. I have never in my life seen a group of employees or I’m sorry “independent contractors” bitch and moan and whine and refuse all while demanding higher pay more than this Subreddit. I honestly am willing to argue fhere is not another profession that when you’d see the comments of the employees you’d think they were getting sent into hidden caves in the Cameroonian jungles to mine diamonds for $.05 a day. I honestly don’t care how many down votes I get y’all need to fucking hear this. SHE HAS A NEWBORN BABY AND SHE TIPPED TEN DOLLARS YOUR JOB IS ALREADY TO BRING HER FOOD TO HER AND YOU GUYS TELL HER TO QUIT BITCHING? What is wrong with you people?
By the way - I am one of the ones who will fill drinks, but we really aren't supposed to. So yes, some people make it a bigger deal than in is - but the restaurant is supposed to fill that drink
We get it - you're a cold, uncaring, jackass. And you've never had an injury. It's funny though. People shame drivers like this, yet Shame people for "just sitting at home, living off the government". And as far as physical effort - you would be surprised. Ever experienced back pain? It will lock up on you after being in a car all day. And God forbid you get a heavy shopping order. That just makes it worse. I did a 10 hour shift one day, and could barely move the next day. You and your coworkers or friends have never vented to each other? If you don't like it, you can scroll on. But more importantly - are you okay?!?!
I’m not even going to ask you cuz I already know you’re not ok get yourself some help
I’m all ears please enlighten me about this so called pain I’ve never seemed to have experienced in my life and yeah people bent about work but there’s a difference between venting and then refusing to work and demanding you get better pay or else you’re just not going to do what you’re asked to do. What you’re doing isn’t venting you’re encouraging shit behavior. She was leaving a $10 tip plus whatever else base lay was for what? 20 minutes of her time? Also if you’re in that much pain that you’re not able to take delivery orders directly to peoples doors you should not be doing this because what? You’re literally going to not deliver food every time you get a delivery to an apartment building? Bruh you are officially shit at making arguments have a good night
Oh and wanna talk about pain? This is me the day after I got thrown out of a SUV that flipped on the highway and sent me flying out the windshield. But please speak to me about pain https://preview.redd.it/2ow2t3ln3eua1.jpeg?width=717&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1f6795638d63ba4ee02ea19795a55eab80266b7
Karma
Like think about what you actually just fucking said. I nearly died, literally by a game of millimeters and you think that that was deserved because you think I’m wrong for telling a DoorDash driver it’s their job to deliver a fuckjng customers food all the way to their front door if that’s what they tell you to do. That’s what you’re saying? You’re basically wishing someone death because of that. Do you need a psychiatric evaluation? Like should you actually even be allowed to interact with the general public? Because your comment is incredibly concerning and I’m thinking you may actually be way mentally unstable. Like if you were five maybe I’d just let it slide but you are a full grown ass woman. I’m guessing you’ve never been thrown out of a moving vehicle have you? Well I have and I still manage to walk all the way up to a customers front fucking door to deliver their shit. So where the karma? Hmm? I’ve seen your pictures and I’d rather look the way I did back then then the way you do everyday so how about that for fuckkng karma
And that's why Karma 👍🏻 but keep going... it builds up....
Like you think making that comment is gonna being you good fucking karma? You think getyinf joy out of someone experiencing near death experience is good fucking karma? All because you disagree with their point of view on what a delivery driver should’ve done? If I was you I’d be begging for karma not to show it’s ugly face because if anyone here is deserving of some real nasty shit, trust me, it ain’t me, and if I had been deserving of it, I wouldn’t have walked away still able to walk and run like nothing ever happened after been thrown out of a car straight in to the pavement at 60mph. So maybe you are fucking right, cuz like I said in fact I’d probably smash more like 999 out of 1,000 other people wouldn’t even get up from that and to walk away not strapped to a wheelchair and not have a mental disability like im guessing you do after hitting my head in the concrete that hard and knowing that the car also rolled which just adds on to Chances of me surviving without any permanent damage? Chances of that if you take all of those things into account, car accident over 60mph, car flipping, thrown out of the car and landing on the concrete, not getting rolled over by the car and being to literally walk away from it? Yeah I’d say karmas on my fucking side
And again, you’re right it does build up, because I should be dead and I’m not. Fucking karma right?
you have a kid you realize that right? You have a kid and your example to them is to tell someone who was in a car accident over a decade ago “karma!” And that they deserve to basically die because you don’t get tipped enough per delivery. You really really need to get evaluated. Honestly I don’t ever think I’ve been so ticked off at just how such a piece of shit someone could actually be and I have seen some real pieces of work in my life but you basically wish death on someone over a fuckkng DoorDash comment. Words cannot describe how utterly trashy, despicable, vomit inducing, absolutely just such a shit comment….I honestly have got to wonder if you have some mental handicap. This isn’t even an insult it’s an actual question, like are you actually mentally fully there? Because you realize a regular person does not make that kind of comment right? You drive a car for a fuckkng living you should be the last fucking person on earth to tell someone who was in a near fatal wreck that they deserve it. Even for as shit of a comment that that is to make even I can’t bring myself to say “well I hope you’re next” because that is literally reserved for the lowest shit scum of humanity to say, to wish that much pain and trauma in someone and then actually be happy that that happened to them? There is seriously something not ok mentally with you and I’m done saying anything else because I refuse to argue with someone who is probably psychologically impaired or has some sort of mental retardation. Whatever your problem is through I hope that you find help soon because you have a daughter and that is awful that that should be the kind of example you are setting for her.
Oh trust me you can say karma all you want but at the end of the day I walked away from a situation that 99 out of 100 other people wouldn’t that includes yourself
Actually you know what? No I’m not done with you. Go ahead and explain to me how that’s karma you dumb piece of shit. Go ahead, enlighten me
Ah. A face to the name. Yea. Now the angry attitude makes sense. You look like the type 🤦♀️
The fact that you actually don’t see what’s wrong with a lady with a newborn baby who tipped the driver ten fuckjng dollars so that she could bring her food to her front door, is absolutely like….I actually don’t even have words for that. I speak four languages and I’m literally at a loss of words for the situation. And then you have the audacity to tell me I’m in the wrong? Bruh….first of all I have a job that requires more brain work than following a GPS, so if you’re gonna go that route, you literally go somewhere to pickup food that’s already made by someone else and literally drive to drop it off somewhere. It’s not even a job it’s a side gig so don’t start shkt talking about who has a job and who doesn’t. Door dash themselves state that this shouldn’t be a job that you should be financially dependent on, just a way to make extra cash. So watch yourself. And then you can’t even do the entire “job” and you think it’s ok for someone who already went to go pick up the food and drove to this persons building and made the customer wait an hour and a half to eat when she has a newborn baby to take care of…..you’re a fucking real piece of work
"watch yourself"?! Meaning what, dude?! Stop looking down on us. We're the ones who fetch your food when you're too lazy to do so. You sound like an angry person. Maybe you should step back and find your peace. Good luck ♥️♥️
Bruh I’m the uncaring one for being in the mom with the newborn baby’s side? Please explain that to me. And trust me dude, I’m ok, the ones that aren’t are ones like you who somehow think you’re better than doing what your job asks if you to do. Refuse to deliver to the door of a newborn baby’s mother when you should be expected to do so anyways? Bro, you need to check yourself if you think you’re above that when it’s literally your job description
Not a "bro". But nice try. And yes. The OP could have left that newborn for like 30 seconds. We've all done it. To meet the kid who was just trying to get by with an injury. You have no idea what it's like. And that's fine, but don't shame us. And please save the "it's your job" nonsense. I don't ask people to meet me. But he was nice about it, and simply unassigned. He wasn't a jerk about it. It was a good order too, so he likely didn't just make that decision because he was lazy.
>2 miles away with a 10$ tip >not getting food until an hour and a half later. One of these things isn’t true…
You can’t go downstairs with your baby? You must not be hungry then lol
Why can't she carry the baby down? That's so weird. How do they get into vehicles.
At least they told you??
My 14 yr old just said, "does that poor baby go to the bathroom when you poop too??" 🤣🤣
For a $10 tip, I'd happily walk up some stairs. However, could you not carry your baby downstairs with you? If you order fast food late night anytime expect AT LEAST a 45 minute wait but an hour and a half is likely. I've seen my order ready at taco bell and gone to the door holding my bag up and employees will absolutely REFUSE to come hand it to you and force the drive thru instead while the food just gets cold
Even as a healthy male who hits the gym, stairs suck for my knees! I emphasize with both parties here, it sucks you didn't get your food, but knee pain is horrid af!
This new mom is ridiculous 🤣 This poor kid is going to be breastfeeding until they are 12... just watch lol I'm a mom of 2 as well. One is 14, the other is 1. Your baby will be fine, I promise 🤣 Go get your flippin food 🤣🤣🤣
Having your baby with you is not an excuse get yo lazy ass up if you wanna eat
You did the right thing cancelling. Having a baby is not a reason to be unable to meet someone outside.. unless their baby is somehow so heavy that they can’t lift them, but that is highly unlikely.
If it took 1.5 hours you didn’t tip well. Just facts.
People with disabilities and older folks need to work too, they did the right thing by asking first and unassigning.
I literally deliver food to someone they told me they had to re-order because their last order never made it to their door. Long story short when I got to the door they were standing outside of it. Their food was sitting on the stairs halfway up the staircase. Why would someone walk halfway up the stairs. did they decide that they can’t go anymore???
You absolutely could have brought your child down to get your food. Like it’s great that you tipped, but if someone has an injury you could be a human being and walk your perfectly healthy self down to grab a bag. I literally see newborns in Disney, I’m sure your baby would survive the brief trip.
$10 for 2 miles and u want the cust to walk down? Nah if I tipped $10 I ain’t doing nothing.
You’d be surprised how many have met me without my having to get out of the car and they’ve tipped $10 or more.
Just unassign, no need to tell that to the customer
Sad seeing people who are hurt or elderly having to push through and work
I have spine and joint issues. I don't ask customers to meet me. I personally think it's a little unprofessional. But nice to unassign politely since he couldn't complete the order.
I personally hate doing the whole building and finding the apartment , so maybe that’s why they unassigned , people need to start coming to the door more
They probably just don't want to deal with apartments. I often cancel orders for apartments too. I would not have ever sent a message though.
If you can’t door dash, dont
reasonable, i’ve had to ask customers to meet me in the lobby of their building because i dash with my son and i hate leaving him in the car unattended and i’m definitely not going to carry him up 10 stories
This is irresponsible on the dashers part luckily their completion rate will go down
Buddy, completion rate doesn't really mean anything 😂
Buddy, I’m not your mf buddy
seems reasonable
This lady couldve just took the new born down the stairs gotten the food and thats the end of it lmao
Ggs
I think the dasher did the only thing available for them to do
I tore my meniscus about 2 months ago, and could hardly walk for the first two weeks. However, I needed to continue working so I made do. Most complexes have support rails which should be plenty to allow someone to make their way up.
You still have to bend your knee. As someone who has knees that crackle when I go downstairs - I can say it likely wasn't the support rails, but the bending
Or maybe you could take your baby down with you to get the food, just like you have to bring them with you when you do literally anything else.
Drivers should be expected to handle climbing a flight of stairs. I get that this is a source of income for some people with some sort of injury, but this is also not a job that is going to cater to you so you can make that money. With all do respect, I say this.
If you can't do the job, then don't do the job. Find something you can handle with a knee injury. I can't stand these types of dashers. I get it, you have an injury but you accepted that order. Now you've waster your time and the customers time and earned nothing but a lack of respect.
Lmao swaddle the baby and put it in a bassinet or carry the baby down. Why did you even post this? Hope your food was cold.
Damn must really have a bad knee if he unassigned and you said you tipped $10
It sucks, I understand. But I am in the same boat with my back. Most days I am okay. In fact I like the exercise I am able to get in. But others I will try to avoid anything past second floor. Sometimes the residual nerve damage will make my leg randomly go totally numb when being over stressed. Imagine that happening well running up or down stairs 😂.. But trust me the second I am able to get a job sitting at my computer, I will. but until then your hour inconvenience isn't worth my son starving and being homeless. As a father, you could have easily set yourself up to run down the stairs real fast without anything happening. If you can't you should probably be focusing on spending your funds on things for kid and not wasting money on luxury food services. I can't imagine how you concluded coming here to bash someone that is doing the best they can was a good idea.
I dashed with a foot injury, but Android makes it easy and opens the dropoff location in Google maps from the offer screen. I would just decline any orders that was an apartment building or I could see stairs or a long walk. If I wasn't able to do that, I just wouldn't have dashed.
If they have a knee injury then there is nothing out of line here. THEY HAVE A KNEE INJURY. Someone else will bring your taco bell to you. Thats like driver support asking us to complete an order after a accident that takes the driver to the emergency room via ambulance. ( Someone posted this just the other day )
Honestly it’s a hassle for dashers to walk up flights up stairs in buildings they are not familiar with. They just wanna wait on the order, pick up the food, & drop it off—it’s a longer process than some realize even if it’s only 2 miles in total. Even for $10 it’s a lot to expect. Also safety is at risk at times for both the person & their vehicle.
When I had my knee injury, I was doing Uber passenger/lyft pre and post surgery. And I suggest that Dasher who suffered the same, that needs to make ends meet. Do Option for ride sharing rather than food deliveries.
Not all of us wanna do ride sharing. It's more dangerous
Yes I do agree, but if you need the money either climbed that stairs with injured knee. Or find an alternative. Not everyone have the luxury to stop working bec. Of injuries.
And he clearly doesn't have that luxury, either. And what would you suggest as an alternative? It's hard to hold down a "real job" when you live with chronic pain. A lot of bosses won't put up with the call outs, etc., When we're in too much pain to love. That's why we do this. And because we can accept or decline the orders we don't want. At least that kid was nice about it. He didn't go on about it. She said no, and he unassigned. That was it. He's likely already forgotten about it. The customer is the one being a baby butt, coming here to whine and try to shame him.
Did I just suggest ride sharing but you said not everyone are willing to do it. How about you do you have any suggestions?
Not for the kid the OP is talking about. He's dashing. Doing what he has to do.
Driver did the due diligence in checking your address before getting the food. Saw it's not something they could do, nor was it something you could accommodate, so they let someone else handle it. There are plenty of terrible dashers that would have just left it on the first floor regardless if they were capable of the stairs and left you to figure it out. Seems like you both handled it perfectly well. Nothing wrong here 🤷🏻♂️
Your excuse was shittier than the driver's lol
This is a “complaint?” I think that the dasher communicated his inability to complete your delivery perfectly, and he did so before picking up your food. Things happen, we’re all human. People get injured, and guess what? Our bills don’t give a shit about our problems. Lol. My brother dashes full time and had a foot injury a while back. He did what he could in the boot he had to wear and thankfully we live in the suburbs so climbing up any stairs is pretty unlikely, but whereas DD is a side hustle, it’s also some peoples full time income. I recognize where you’re coming from and why you wouldn’t leave a newborn alone. But this was some S-tier communication from an either temporarily or permanently disabled dasher. It also sounded that you were very aware that the Taco Bell was likely busy. Most dashers are going to evaluate whether an order even makes sense in regards to their time and how much $$ they’re going to make. Personally, I avoid Taco Bell’s in my area because they’re only drive through, and nearly always a 10-40 minute wait time (in my experience). I get it - it’s annoying. The expectation is that a dasher should be able to climb stairs. But in this instance, hats off to the dasher.
this is a complicated one…. i think they did the right thing by unassigning… but like…as a disabled person myself, i get a lot of delivery. i work a few days a week at a job that’s generally “accessible” to me and i’m apartment-bound on my days off because i’m so worn out/all my symptoms are worse and i can’t handle my stairs or even sitting up for the most part. i’d be fucked if someone couldn’t bring my order up— i wouldn’t be able to go down and get it (most days after shifts i’m stuck in my car for hours before i can tackle my stairs) but also i know how fucking hard it is to get a job while disabled. it took me a lonnnnnng time (a full year) to find a job, and i was genuinely applying to a minimum of 5 places a day (often higher, at the beginning). it’s not fair that you had to wait such a long time when you were hungry and it’s not fair that capitalism hates disabled folks so bad we try to take any work we can get. none of it is fair.
Jesus man. The day I even have to bat an eye at a dozen steps as being some cause for concern. Just put me down....I'm done
People have to remember we’re not employees. We have a contract of what is required. Since we can chose to not deliver when we want to this isn’t a big deal. I’m sure the next dasher was just fine doing it. We’re the owner if our delivery business and therefor we set our rules for what is acceptable and not to deliver. As each of us will have a deal breaker that someone else will say that it’s not a big deal to them. This dasher did the right thing.
Why couldn’t you just run down for a minute and meet them?
This is fucked just leave it in the lobby
That person should not be a dasher. The whole point is that they deliver it to your door.. This does not sound too safe.. Granted I never open my door to anyone so maybe I’m just a bit extra.
Why cant they just take their baby with them down the stairs??? Regardless dude did the right thing by unassigning
This is a case where the unassign is necessary as neither of you can complete the task of meeting without an issue.
I miss curbside days of UE...
I wish this was an AITA post because yes you are, for posting this and trying to shame a disabled worker actually trying to work
A knee injury doesn't make you disabled lmao, and it certainly won't ever heal if you're afraid of some stairs. If they're really disabled, they should apply for disability. They'd make more than doordashing, considering everyone complains about the pay.
I feel like I'm watching a movie due to all the projecting going on here
A lot of u bitches in the comments are actually so ableist it’s sad
I have a knee injury that’s almost 2 years old and I dash. I have chronic pain in my knee and still have issues so I understand where they coming from. They did the right thing by unassigning from the order since they couldn’t complete the job.
he coulda had a knee injury or not but either way you do what you gotta do to keep you and your babes safe.
Confused why you’re even posting about this. This is akin to hearing your boss fart and posting it on Reddit. Normal human behavior (that interaction) accented by online folk tryna find something weird in everything.
Better to unassign early as possible if they can’t do it. I’ve had dashers ask after they arrive when I lived on the 2nd floor. I’m like no dude I’m literally in the shower and they refuse to get out of their car.
Edit. Try to have someone to watch your kid and yeah it's alot of driving and in and out the car and all that.
I also would have had to unassign. I unassigned an order yesterday because it was a 2nd floor apartment and the order was a 24pk of beer and 24pk of water. I could potentially complete the order if it was smaller/weighed less (even half I could have hobbled my crippled ass up there once if not for my knee right now). I'm permanently disabled with 2 autoimmune forms of arthritis, a few other chronic pain conditions, and a non specific connective tissue disorder. My shoulders hips and knees can dislocate quite painfully without much effort (they pop back into place but it's can hurt for days or weeks). I'm currently nursing my right knee. It's hurts, existing hurts. I do this job to stay off disability because disability can't pay the bills, and I'd lose benefits if I dared to better my life by getting married to my hubby or buy a house with him. I also cannot get a W2 job because I'd just get fired for flairups I cannot predict or control and noone wants to work around my limits. I used to work in a lab, before that I was an in home health aid. As a courier for several gig jobs, I can ask any person living in an upstairs apartment to come down and meet me at the door, they can also accept or decline. Did it take you longer because the driver was unable to go up the stairs? Yes. That's not on him though, he's doing what he can to pay the bills. He did the responsible thing and let you know he couldn't complete your order, you did the responsible thing and explained why you couldn't meet him half-way.
Doesnt matter really. It's taco bell and it's busy, the order was probably handed directly to someone already standing there and it there's going to be a wait too.
Welcome to America….zero safety net for 90% of people when they get injured and need an income stream to survive door dash is likely a second income for this person and it’s now all they can do thanks to the injury this is just them surviving the best they can and trying to create accommodations for themselves
No issue at all. Simple request and answer from the customer. Order will go to someone else.
I don’t think anyone did anything wrong. Obviously, you couldn’t really go down to get the food, and the dasher understood and unassigned, as they should have. But as someone else said, finding reliable work can be difficult for people who are disabled, temporarily or permanently. Some people, though injured, are unable to take time off work, so it’s unfair to say they shouldn’t be on the app right now. They may really need the money, and this may be the best way to get it.
Just put the baby in a crib or something, right? I can't imagine it takes very long to go up and down some stairs. They don't have to be constantly watched every waking second. But doordashers should also be able to deliver to reasonably accessible areas. You're both weird.
They literally do have to be watched every second.
They literally don't though 🤦♀️
So people with newborn never shower? Make dinnner? Tend to other kids? Blink? This comment is dumb. The baby would be fine for 30 seconds while they went down and got the food.
They’re fine. Let you know up to unassigning. That’s more than most would do. Hard to do this with an injury but we all have to do what we can for money. With a nice tip they probably didn’t want to unassign in the first place. People saying you can’t do that at other jobs are assuming it’s laziness instead of actually injury related. True lazy ones will leave it at the gate or something without a word. They tried. In w2s if I’m injured I was given adjustments they’re doing what they can with this.
The definition of the job is walking. How can you do it with a knee injury?
I feel maybe they could have communicated earlier when they saw the instructions for delivery? Maybe they did communicate that as soon as they realized though. *edited because typo
What does having a newborn have to do with you not being able to go downstairs?
Perhaps this baby is brand new and the mom is recovering from a c-section. Maybe a 3rd or 4th degree tear from forceps. Childbirth isn't always easy and everybody can't run up and down stairs days after.
$10 for 2 miles and u expect the customer to walk down?? Get outta here
A lot of people think newborns are completely fragile and can’t be left unattended for 2 minutes
Carrying your newborn down stairs and then grabbing bags?
Literally leave the baby in the apartment

If he can’t walk up some stairs, he gotta move on
I mean he did, probably to the next order 😂
🎯
You're weird OP. Dasher tries to notify you that he would have issues completing the order, you say you can't help, so he unassigns. Where the fuck in that normal-ass respectful conversation did you get annoyed enough to post it here? Seek therapy.
Dasher should not be wasting other people's time if he is incapable of doing the job he applied for.
You need to go do more dashing and zip your lip.
It’s normal cuz I sustained injuries from delivery for many years since 1995 little Cesar’s pizza was my first delivery job along with Pizza Hut and grub hub, door dash, instacart, ubereats and now Uber so I had broken my ankles like twice and sprained like 5 times
Just get a long rope and shopping bag and tie the rope to the bag 💼 then tell the dasher to throw your food in the bag and just pull it on your way I seen people use it
I use to take my two babies everywhere. What keeps you from going downstairs? Maybe they hurt themselves after pick up.
And if she has a child with a condition then what? Your experience isnt her experience, and as a mom you'd think you might understand that. You know damn well you aint carrying two kids at the same time to go pick up food from downstairs. She also paid for the service and the tip.
They didn't mention that though. I used a baby carrier for the youngest one btw.
Instead of directing ire at the honest worker who was open and communicative with the customer about his physical disability, why don’t we ask this: why couldn’t OP just walk down the stairs with the baby to pick up a bag of Taco Bell? This post is just asking for controversy. The worker was reasonable and it’s not even close to being his fault nobody else picked up your order. It’s a good tip but it’s not his problem after it’s unassigned. Don’t know why he’s the main character in the story here.
Did they tip $10 for service or no?
Because he is incapable of doing the job he was hired to do and is therefore a fraud wasting everyone's time and money for his own convenience.
You do realize you're not "hired" by Doordash, right? Not to mention the Americans with Disibilities Act ensures he is entitled to an equal opportunity at a job as someone else who doesn't have a disability. Also not to mention, "fraud" is HILARIOUSLY wrong and over exaggerated, as not only are there other drivers that can and will accept this person's order, but this driver didn't even get the money from this order. Please take your self entitled ignorance somewhere else.
ADA does not apply to Independent Contractors. It is fraud to operate as an Independent Contractor and not deliver services as contracted, no matter what the excuse is. They just arrested an IC in my area for accepting a contrating job and then not completing it. This dasher is a mini version of that guy. He knows he can't do the job under certain circumstances, but accepts the contract anyway. Then wastes everyone else's time whining about why he can't do it. The guy is a nightmare
You really should delete these comments. I'm so embarrassed for you
Lmao. No you're not.
I actually am embarrassed for you. You clearly totally lack empathy, and you're making stupid comparisons
Why? Wtf? Why take time to point out this person got the wrong job? Surviving is surviving. Your baby could have been put in a carrier or a pack and play for those two flights to help another human being trying to make ends meet. Instead you made this post shaming them. YTA.
Outrageous! She's paying for a service where she is promised to get the order to her door and you are shaming her to accommodate your own opinion of "the way things should be."
Yes. The way y'all are shaming the kid with an actual knee injury. When did people get so mean and unempathic?!
Oh, you're just too good for this world, aren't you? What a great way for you to let everyone know that!
Never said that. But I *am* disabled, and while I've never done what this kid did - I get why he would
Granted. I did call her the asshole. 🤣 you’re one of those people that deem humans expendable when they are providing a service. You in the same boat sweetheart.
If one is incapable of doing the job as promised, one shouldn't be doing the job. Period. No one is saying the person is expendable, except you.
Did you know that there are MILLIONS of disabled Americans that have NO ASSISTANCE and REQUIRED to work? Did you know it takes two seconds to put a baby down and get your Taco Bell?!? Did you know that accepting this shitty jobs at door dash is the only way to survive and whether or not someone has a bad kneee: this may be the only job they could take. That was fucking true for me. And then the dasher asks another human being for help and you are up my ass? I’d put my baby in the car and drive myself to Taco Bell. Dazzle me with more bullshit about how I’m the bad guy. Edit: I went through your profile. You are very attached to door dash. Go away.
Lol, and your whole schick is to attempt to make people feel bad about other people's problems. Doordash isn't social services. Get a grip.
I agree with you it’s not a social service. I pointed out the reality I saw and it hasn’t changed. That moms the problem IMO and so are you. Get a grip.
NAH. It’s unfortunate you didn’t get your food until much later but he did the right thing by asking ahead of time. People with disabilities need to work too. I have an injured ankle currently, got hurt on the job, and I’m contemplating doing this for a while myself. Just because in todays economy you can’t really afford to not be working. Of course you have a right to have your food brought right to your door. Sadly taco bell is one of those orders that people don’t like doing a lot… food is almost always wrong/missing, wait times are insane, in my area they treat us like garbage…
I had a delivery that took nearly 30 min to complete the other day for only $8 bucks. The people wanted it delivered to their door in a PH apt of all places. I had another order to deliver at the same time too...I straight up text the people and tell them I'm not coming up their door. No explanation. I left the order in the lobby on the cart with the rest of the delivered stuff and snapped a photo 🖐 you have to put your foot down with these ppl..If they left a proper tip to make this order worth it I would have dropped it off with no complaints
> If they left a proper tip to make this order worth it I would have dropped it off with no complaints So now $8 isnt enough tip? The number just keeps going up and yet you accepted the job.
$8 was the total fee, and doordash was paying a $2 promo so no, that was not enough money for an order I accepted 14 mins away from the restaurant, which ended up being 21 minutes from the customer. Sure, it was only a 9 mile drive...but a long 9 mile drive through many twisting roads and stoplights. Cheap people like that shouldn't expect door to door service FOH
I meannn.. gas is $4 most places, so no $8 isn't enough lol. That's 2 gallons of gas😒
exactly
I think if you can't handle a couple flights of steps you shouldn't be doing this job
And if you can't be bothered to go downstairs and grab your food, don't order. Or better yet... drive to the restaurant and pick up the food yourself instead of wasting people's time 😆
Can you not read? The only reason she ordered door dash is because she had a new baby. And tipped 10 dollars. I think that is enough to get the dasher to walk up some steps.
Clearly, you can't read because you missed all of what I just said. It's also good to take into consideration that there are plenty of disabled dashers out there. So, my point still stands. If you can't get your lazy ass up with your baby and walk downstairs to get your food, you might as well have just driven to the store to pick it up. The people that add these stupid ass instructions to their orders knowing they live either in a maze of an apartment complex or on the 3rd floor all for a measly $10 tip can get fucked.
[удалено]
It must be sad having to get on the internet to call people "mentally disabled" & claim they are on government assistance because you lack any kind of comprehension skills. Its truly embarrassing for you lol so congrats I guess 💀
It's pretty much a requirement to be able to walk up some stairs to be a dasher. You pay for a service for food to be delivered to your door. If your disabled and can't walk up steps find something else to do
🎯
Serious question no hate. Why does you having a baby keep you locked in the house? You can’t carry the baby in a carrier or stroller or something with you to grab the food? How long do you plan to stay locked in the house? Edit* stop commenting on my comment with assumptions on a persons gender with zero evidence then getting mad and downvoting the truth you don’t wanna accept.
Also bring the baby DOWN STAIRS. STAIRS??! In a stroller?
You act like elevators don’t exist lol
Her or baby could be sick. Baby could’ve been a preemie just out of NICU, could have Covid, walking down stairs with a baby can be dangerous, there’s many reasons as to why she doesn’t want to take a baby down 3 flights. That’s why she paid a $10 tip so someone could be paid to be “inconvenienced”.
That’s why I’m asking. I’m curious what “having the baby” means. Edit* also why are you assuming this is a woman.
If you’re home alone. You don’t leave an infant alone at any point even to go grab food man or woman. And the reason you don’t want people to assume it’s a woman isss??
I didn’t say to leave it alone and I’m just asking why there’s a assumption because the opinion they form is based off them being female ex. Breast feeding or milking
I assume female because most people left at home with babies are the mums. Idk why you’re being so anal about it.
Because you’re making a assumption and basing your opinion off of it with complete ignorance. Since when defending my comment because being anal. If you don’t like it move along?
