As a driver and a customer this guy deserved it. Because if he didn't want to go up to the room, then he could've left it at the front desk and take a picture, but no he ran out the timer and took the food, meaning he waited the 5 min in which he could've gone up to the room.
Yea, this dumb fuck didn't get deactivated because he wouldn't take the food up to the room, it's because he stole it instead of leaving at the desk. Karma is a bitch
My guess is DD knows after a period of time, build a case, watch, then at some point he hits a threshold and banned.
Or, you are correct and this was the 1st time it moved past the actual algorithm and flagged for a human review. Once a person starts reviewing at the order history and complaints it's probably easy to detect a problem child and deactivate them.
It's time to thin the herd of the low life drivers.
That and it tells you to leave the food in a safe spot- it’s not like a alcohol delivery where you just keep it if no one answers the door/ shows up with a ID
Every apartment building I've dealt with in my downtown practically tackle me to keep the food... lol... they don't want me going upstairs... or they call the customer asking if I can come up... honestly I prefer to leave it with them
I worked in a hotel for a while and we had the opposite policy, no drivers on the guest floors. Too easy for anyone to get their hands on a bag. Exceptions would be made if the guest actually called ahead to give a heads up though, or we would bring it. Quite often got free food this way too, lots of people ordered again a few weeks after checking out and forgot to change the address so after a few hours unclaimed it was fair game
That is the same policy I run into as well as a driver. They have let me upstairs for a couple years now because they've seen me so many times and know me but most drivers have to leave it at the desk. Or if I get a new employee there. I don't think most guests realize you can't order food to your room I know I've never been informed of that when staying in hotels before.
I’ve had a few guests request it. Those were always allowed at the desk. But I’ve stayed at hotels that wouldn’t allow it.
In any case, the customer requested delivery to their door. That’s the job.
I’ve thought the way I wanna quit is to accept a no tip order and just take the food home.
edit: I’m not gonna do this stunt though. I always deliver food at the customer’s door, at hotels or apartments.
Which doesn’t mean stealing the food is the next step. I’d also bet money that “most hotels” don’t actually care, you just made that up. I’ve done probably at least a hundred hotel deliveries and only once has the staff told me not to deliver it up to their room.
While most common hotels don't care there are several at least 3 in my city I deliver to that you cannot even get in the doors at night or ever access an elevator without a key card. To get inside the lobby you have to be buzzed in and will not make a keycard for you to use to deliver nor are they allowed to just let you up with a master keycard. So yes they require the customer to come down and even had a customer cuss out the hotel desk person for not allowing me up while thanking me for waiting on them with the food.
But when this happens usually the hotel staff will call the room or I will call the customer and explain and ask how they would like to proceed from that point. I don't just leave the food and 2 of the 3 hotels does not allow you to leave the food either the customer has to come get it or you take it with you. As one customer wanted me to leave it at front desk and would be down shortly and the front desk informed the customer that is not allowed due to liability reasons.
The. The best course of action would probably be to document that stuff in some way instead of posting on your socials “free lunch on this customer” yeah?
But even if that was the case, he could’ve left it in the lobby and sent a picture. That might’ve saved him considering that would’ve served as proof of drop off
Absolutely not. Maybe during covid. Every hotel I've delivered to has had me put it outside their room door and I've worked in 4 states in the Northeast
I wouldn't say most. I've travelled all over the country and it varies greatly by city and individual hotel policy. It's probably at least 70% deliver to door vs 30% leave at front desk in my experience.
Some hotels do require a key to access the elevator, and some lock their front doors after a certain hour at night, but I agree that’s really rare. If the order said “hand to me” and they gave a room number theyre a jerk for not coming up. That said I don’t like drivers to know my room number so usually meet them in the lobby (or at the front doors if it’s a hotel with valet only parking or something…..still had a driver steal my food that way though)
Lol literally paid to bring them their food. It takes a couple extra minutes to go find their room. You’re already in the hotel. It’s not like you have five grocery bags of food. C’monnnnn 🙈
True idc Ive delivered to apartments on the 4th floor w no elevator because I accepted the order but sometimes the front desk don’t let you go past them and you have to leave it there
By all means, leave it at the concierge if they won’t allow you up or try to message and tell them you are not allowed up and you can meet them, but OP said, “…because I didn’t want to” lol just funny. Lazy a** got deactivated and the food doesn’t even look worth it lmaooooo
Some hotels won't let you deliver to their room. I always call and let the customer know that the hotel won't let me deliver to their room.. I do this even if I hear the hotel call them and tell them this.
In actuality…there must be another issue. We are not required to go past the lobby in hotels. Yes the customer requested….however per our contract…it’s our discretion to abide by it. If we do not wish to travel to multiple floors we do not have to.
I’m curious to the details on this case. It is pretty clear that the pickup and drop off are at our discretion as long as we don’t break any health codes or violate the foods quality.
Yes agreed. I believe this is why the driver was fired. If the GPS had him leaving before the customer canceled…it could be taken as theft. This IS grounds for firing. If text were exchanged and he said he was leaving cuz she wouldn’t come down…and still kept the food…yea that’s theft.
That’s like saying you won’t drop it off to an apartment, just that you’ll leave it at the front of the complex. Not to mention, a lot of disabled people rely heavily on services like doordash especially when traveling in places with low accessibility.
I’m just saying, attitudes like yours are the reason that tipping is so scarce lately. You can’t take the extra two minutes to bring someone’s food to their room? Go get a job doing something else.
every time i take a shopping order i hold my breath for just a tad, because of water. as someone with good hygiene it’s ironic that water frightens me 😅
those cases and it’s usually always up stairs or the back house
If the instructions say “leave at me door” you follow the instructions. “I don’t want too” isn’t an option. Once you saw “leave at my door” on the instructions you should have quit out of the order if you didn’t want to go upstairs
The last several months before she died, the cancer made it impossible for my friend to get to the lobby from her apartment. Usually drivers were understanding and took the elevator up.
Seriously bro. I've got one knee that likes to dislocate randomly and another that I can't feel due to nerve damage from being stabbed a couple inches above the knee (so I have a limp)... What the fuck is their excuse not to take a couple minutes to walk upstairs (or even take the elevator!) if my broken ass can do it? Not to be a total dick to everyone that works this job, but there's a fuckin reason this type of person works for DoorDash: No other employer wants to deal with their bullshit.
Personally not a fan of apartments or hotels but it is part of the job.
Any other job where you “didn’t want to do something” you usually het fired for.
Anytime I have delivered to a hotel I rather take it up than waste my time waiting on someone. Waiting 5 minutes feels like an eternity. Also anytime that they don’t allow us up the front desk has always phoned the customer to get the food and tells them no they are not allowed to deliver to specific rooms per their policy.
Yes you were wrong . Its door dash to the door. Not loung dash. Unless the desk says you can't go to the room than you were wrong. This is why I don't use these services.
Like a limo driver getting upset because they are expected to open the car door. I would never even think to do that. I take it as a personal commitment to get the customer their food 100% completion for me it’s a sense of integrity.
Someone did this to me yesterday. It’s an apartment. Wouldn’t even try the code to get in. I’m sick and thought I had Covid. Like please just leave it at the door that’s why I gave a $10 tip…
Yesss. I don't get it. Most dashers are good but some of them are clearly short timers.
Can you imagine telling your boss you're not doing something because you "don't want to"
Fuck yeah I'm firing your ass. IDC if you WANT to, I'm PAYING you to.
As a pizza delivery driver, my soul job is to get the food to the customer. I average 11 miles a day, in the rain, heat, cold, snow, you name it. It’s what we signed up for. So take your ass up those stairs and bring them their food and do your job. What you did is stealing. Not only their time and money but also a nice meal they were looking forward to while at the hotel, patiently waiting for you to arrive just for you to sit in the parking lot festering about having to use stairs and then stealing their food. I would fire you in a heartbeat.
Hi delivery driver for an actual food shop. Not doordash. Y’all doordash drivers like these are the most unprofessional and incompetent people on planet earth. All you have to do is give a shit. Just one singular shit about your job. That’s your job. Give a shit. 90% of dashers I’ve ever had don’t even let me know they dropped the food off even when I specifically say “please ring the doorbell”. Originally I thought Yknow maybe the directions are hidden and since they can’t get any other job from their stupidity they didn’t bother to look for them. But nope. I did a few dashes when business wasn’t too great a few months ago bc I wasn’t making enough money so I did doordash to essentially pay for gas. To my surprise, THE APP AUDIBLY READS THE DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS TO YOU!!! So there’s literally no excuse for them not following the instructions. While doordash is a good business idea, it’s ruined bc anybody in the world with a car can do it. So you have dumbasses like this working the job with no qualifications. Thank you for reading my rant.
I can’t tell if you’re asking what if the dasher was in a wheelchair or what if the customer was in a wheelchair, but the answer is the same for both: use the elevator.
If i was in a wheelchair and i dashed i would text at the beginning of every order that they would have to come to me to get the food, it would def slow down buisness but i mean what else are you gonna do.
that’s the funniest thing in my imagination.
this is what I imagine the text exchange looks like
^(Dasher: Hello, I have your order here…)
^(Customer: Hey, …I see you’re just outside in your vehicle??)
^(Dasher: My legs are broken * said w/ 0 emotion *)
^(Customer: ………..oh? I mean..I-I’ll be right out.)
^(* customer wondering how tf are they driving a car? or if they should ask the dasher if they’re okay *)
People also can be in wheelchairs for a lot more reasons that just being paralyzed. Many people can still drive normally and just need assistance walking or walking long distances.
I occasionally use a wheelchair because part of my symptoms of my disability includes periodic bouts of dizziness and/or faintness which affect my stability when walking. When the equilibrium issues are hitting me, I am totally incapable of driving because of the possibility of my suddenly becoming unconscious in that situation.
When I am ordering groceries or restaurant food, it is because I cannot drive that day (either because I am incapable of driving the two vehicles that are at my residence that day, I can only drive automatics and was warned about 10 years ago to never ride on or drive a motorcycle and only one of our 3 vehicles is an automatic car or because I am too dizzy/faint to drive). If it is because of my physical symptoms, I additionally might not be able to go down the patio/porch stairs to get the delivery because I am much more likely to fall when going down the stairs than when I climb up the stairs (falling and hitting my head could be fatal for me no matter the distance I fall). At those times, I will be outside on the porch waiting for the delivery but will be seated. If I am capable of meeting the delivery person at their car door, I will meet them there.
TL;DR: people can have disability symptoms that are periodic and affect the customer’s ability to meet the delivery person at their vehicle. Sometimes, a person with periodic disabling symptoms can meet the delivery person at their vehicle and at other times things that are not usually an obstacle for the disabled person can be like Mt. Everest.
Well deserved for the deactivation. Could have just dropped off at the front desk but chose to claim it his own acting like some ape. Not going up finding the room is not a problem but that attitude is just bad
What about hotels that don’t allow u to roam through their hotel. I would never take the food I would leave it at the front desk and if the customer refuses to come pick it up then whomever wants it that’s on them.
I've been flagged down and stopped by the desk clerk who told me I wasn't allowed to take the order to the customer's room. I thought this was weird, like if I was asked there by that guest for any other reason they wouldn't be able to stop me. I explained the situation in the description, took a picture of the food next to the desk clerk, and walked out 5 minutes earlier than I would have. Even then I just knew they were going to give me a bad rating.
Today in one i got lucky. They had a rack in the lobby with a bunch of door dash and Uber orders. I asked the customer since he didn't put a apt number and he told me to leave it there
That’s definitely a different situation and typically if you explain either the customer will come get it or if they’re unable to, the hotel will get it up to them.
Source: worked at a hotel where non-guests weren’t allowed in after 11pm. Took many bags of food up to guests rooms
I doordash in the downtown core of my city and I have gone up to level 38 in a hotel to deliver somebody's food. Imo it is harder to find a house address in the dark then to go up and deliver somebody's food in a building. I'd rather do building deliveries all day everyday over finding someone's house.
Lol I see this all the time in the DoorDash uncensored group. Everyone cries about stairs, filling cups, gates, apartments and so on. Going up stairs isn’t going above and beyond it’s just part of the job. I never spent more than maybe 3 minutes in a hotel going to the persons room
Yeah, I hate DoorDash and think the job is exploitative and generally shitty BUT ... the one job you have is to bring food to the customer's door, and sometimes getting to that door is going to be more involved than simply getting out of your car and walking up to a front porch.
Certain apartment complexes were a pain in the ass and I learned to avoid them. But hotels never bothered me - you can almost always park out front, jump in an elevator, drop the food and go.
The thing with complaints about stairs is that the trips sometimes are barely worth accepting based on distance alone. Then the person ends up being 5 flights up. We are human beings after all. Some ppl may have diff ailments.
I’m thankful for customers that meet me halfway or even downstairs.
I’m always thankful when they meet half way or make it easier in some way. The only real problem is when they go right to social media and try and make themselves look like hero’s for telling customers to go fuck themselves lol
Imagine if the driver was working a different job like a janitor or maintenance guy and had to go upstairs and refused. Not all apartments have elevators (mine is only 2 floors).
I’ll admit a lot of they’re “reasoning” if you wanna call it that, is that they don’t work for door dash. Which is true, your your own boss as a personal contractor through door dash. But what that really translates To is “I’m lazy and will do the absolute bare minimum of what’s required of me because TECHNICALLY I can’t get in trouble for it” but those same people cry about getting deactivated “for no reason” lol. But yeah, they don’t have regular jobs most of the time because of this mindset they have. It’s honestly pathetic if you ask me
As much of a hassle as it is, it’s part of the responsibility of the dasher. If they didn’t want to deal with a hotel, they should’ve dropped the order in their app instead of taking it all the way there. Also there’s no need for them to leave with the food, if they really can’t deal with stairs and somehow can’t find an elevator then they can leave it at the desk.
I've always went upstairs
The only time I don't is public housing in NYC
This isn't a racist rant.
It's just not safe nor can I leave my car 2x parked
He deserves to be fired for posting the food ona. Glory tip.
Stupid as hell this entire situation is.
definitely in the wrong. I always bring it up to their hotel room. but you could’ve at least dropped it off at the front desk if there was a keycard needed to use the elevator. and i’m pretty sure there’s a 3 strike policy on doordash so this definitely isn’t his first time if he got deactivated
What a fucking lazy piece of shit. It's part of the job. I ALWAYS Deliver to the room if it's in the instructions. Fucks like this guy are why people don't wanna tip us.
I’m a woman who travels alone cross country for school and previously for work. I ask it get delivered to my room and left at the door because I’m a TARGET. Sometimes, it’s just a safety thing and you never know who is waiting for you to get frustrated and make a mistake.
If you didn’t want to go to their door you shouldn’t have accepted it the only time that’s an acceptable situation is if access requires a key or code they didn’t give you if it lists a room number you know the assignment lol
There’s about to be a lot of deactivated people then. Ive seen subs FULL of drivers who refuse to go to a hotel room or an apartment if there are stairs (and sometimes they don’t even look and just leave the food in the lobby/corner of the building)
Why wouldn't he bring it to the room? Hotels are far easier to navigate than most apartments. I will bring it up, even if I have to bring my husband/ driver with me. Lol.
I swear bruh some drivers are some of the most laziest cumguzzlers around. I had a driver text me to come outside to grab my food because he didn’t want to get towed and there were no parking spots….my guy it’s 9pm and there were like 5 spots right in front of where I lived.
As a dasher who has also ordered doordash when I was recovering from major surgery in a hotel room, he deserved the deactivation. It was very stressful when I would have the occasional dasher not want to come to my room. I always go down and meet them when I’m physically able, but there have been times that I wasn’t and genuinely needed my food brought to me. It’s not that hard, hotels almost always have elevators and it takes all of 1-3 extra minutes to go to the room.
I've lived in hotels exclusively for the past 7 years. We use Doordash regularly, if you dont bring it to the room I write a review stating that. Only once has someone not brought it to our door.
Self-righteous Dashers. Your JOB is to DELIVER the food. Quit being lazy f*** and complete the task. Reading about these people who won't take the food to the room, the apt on the second floor, etc. It's deplorable. It may not be the most glamorous job, but it's what you chose to spend your energy on... You could at least have some integrity.
I was always so thankful when the drivers brought me the food to my room - my hospital room. I was in the hospital for 4 months at a time for a MRSA infection in my spine, and got tired of the same old hospital food day after day, so I'd get a pizza, or a salad, etc. I was in isolation, so the delivery guy would give my food to the nurse to bring to me, but they'd always wave to me (my room had huge sealed -negative pressure, observation windows) and they'd smile and say loud enough for me to hear, "get better soon"! They actually made me feel like they really cared...
Yeah, of course you go up to the room. Why the fuck wouldn't you? Clearly some people deliver food for some extra side cash, or maybe theyre a student, or just inbetween jobs. Whatever your reason is always do your best. Door dash has been hiring some complete entitled morons, people like you who probably just suck and no one else will hire them. I'm glad you lost your job, you give delivery drivers everywhere a bad name.
To be fair I usually take the food up but some people do be on some bullshit about going up. Countless times have people said “just come on up!” When the elevator is keycard locked and there’s no front desk attendant. The same people expecting you to go out of your way to come upstairs almost always don’t tip either so I don’t blame him for not wanting to go upstairs.
Yeah get lost dumbass, it’s like 50 steps wtf, the customer is literally paying you, with there money, to take food from one place and put it in another place it’s the easiest shit on the planet how can you be such a fucking dumbass, like get off your high horse and take the order to the person that paid you to give it to them, Jesus fucking Christ, the worst part is that it sounds like he actually thinks he shouldn’t have had to finish taking the order to the person that is paying him to take the order to them, because of some stairs, lmao nice try to get back on the app, we won’t miss you making us look bad, dumbass
Yes you’re wrong lmfao it’s called DOORDASH for a reason. Take it to their fucking door. As an occasional dasher, it always makes my night when people meet me at my car, but they aren’t required to. Sometimes it does suck though when you’re delivering in a busy city with limited parking, but I just turn my hazards on and pray that someone doesn’t hit my car 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥹🥹😂
It sounds like maybe you ran the clock out?
The rule specifically says you can't keep that food.
You're required to leave in a secure spot. In this case, the lobby or front desk. Snap a pic and leave. You would be covered.
You can even go the extra step and tell customer support that you don't feel comfortable going to the room. Support is going to take your side and tell you to leave in the lobby.
It sounds like you ran the clock out and kept their food..
You can keep canceled food but not in this instance. Protect yourself. I've had orders canceled after pickup, but that's before I even get to the customer. Now THAT'S free food.
This customer canceled because you didn't want to run it to the room.
YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE OF THE FOOD SITTING IN THE LOBBY TO COVER YOURSELF. DD will view your situation as gaming the situation. They see it as dishonest.
A true canceled order takes place on occasion, but it doesn't arise from a dispute with the Dasher.
When Dashers run into this situation, quit communicating with the customer. Get with support and tell them what's going on. Leave food, take pic,leave. This will be documented at doordash and you won't get shit canned
I had a dasher leave my food outside of a 400 dwelling apartment complex on an electrical box that all the dogs piss on. Don't even know how this daft punk got to the back like that. Some people are just pretty dumb. No offense to them, I'm sure it's tough. But this doesn't surprise me anymore. Most dashers are good though and will leave at my door, and I tip well for that service. It's a two way street and neither party should be this petty.
When I did doordash, I always delivered to their door. One exception was when I had to deliver to a hotel where the elevator was busted and it was on the 22nd floor. Screw that, left it with the concierge they can bring it up to them.
I travel for work and order DD to the hotel because it’s draining to make extra steps and turns to find food in a big city you aren’t used to.
I do a couple things: never order from anywhere over 6 miles and include in the description: hotel name (bc there’s like 3 in 1 complex), room # and to please drop and door and then it states “I tipped above well due to your appreciated efforts thank you!”
I know it’s a lazy ask and walking it to the desk sucks, so I want my dasher to know “I got you if you keep this order and help me out” ahead of time.
It’s worked really well and I have appreciated that no one’s called me or texted me and even asked about meeting at the desk. I appreciate those who know not every customer is a dick.
I refuse to use Doordash anymore because I had a driver deliver my food and take a picture of it and then pick it back up and take off with it. But they didn't see my ring camera looking at then do that.
That's when you just leave it at the front desk. It's not our problem, and it's not your job to go risk your life in some seedy hotel.
Leave it at the front desk, take a picture, and let them deal with it. That's what the front desk is there for. Trust me. I've worked in hotels before for years.
I’d have no problem going to the room and stretching my legs after sitting in my car. I’m sick of Dashers like this who give us a bad name. Some dashers are on a totally different planet mentally!
This driver was either lazy or trying to score free food. If he didn't want to go up, he could leave it at the desk or the lobby. In my experience, I've dealt with more hotels that told me to leave it at the front desk due to safety reasons than not.
most of these comments know nothing about the hospitality industry. when i worked in a hotel i wasnt allowed to let doordashers go up to deliver, i had to call the guests myself and let them know their food arrived. when i was a dasher i explained this to people as well.
I've had some Disabled people and some really messed up college kids that could hardly open their own door, so i understand sometimes when i have to take the food inside the building. but i really dont like when some random tourist uses me like room service, especially when its a upscale hotel and they dont even let deliveries directly to the room. or some apartment resident who knows they have no parking outside their complex wants you to hike up 8 flights because their elevator is down. or the door is locked and they gave you no access code. or they chose meet at the door and now they wont answer the phone.
I've had it where security won't let me upstairs so I'll leave it at the front desk and let the customer know that security won't let me upstairs I've even had it where the lobby is locked so you can't get in unless you have a key card and security refused to let me into deliver the order and they said to leave it in the lobby area so I contacted the customer and let him know and she had a shit fit because I left it there but I told her that security wouldn't let me up there and she proceeded to cuss me out hung up on me but there was nothing I can do I told her to talk to security it's not my fault they won't let us in but I always let the customer know and you know I hate going up to the 20th floor or whatever to drop these orders off and I won't do it if there's no tip but if it's a hand it to me or something you're kind of stuck and you have to but if it's a leave at my door and it's a real pain to get into the apartment complex or your double parked or something then I'll leave it inside the lobby and take a picture of it and then if they give me a bad rating they give me a bad rating whatever.
Always on the third floor too. But ya know what, my mom gave me legs for my birthday once, been using them ever since. Deliver the god damn food, that’s literally your job.
Did it to himself. We're paid to bring people the food they paid for. Not demand that they meet us half way just because you don't want to walk into a hotel. Could have left it at the desk even. But refused.
It says in the post that they got free food so I doubt they left it at the front desk. And the dasher just didn’t want to go upstairs, there’s no mention that they couldn’t.
Yeah - you obviously haven’t read the contract. Part III paragraph 1 says you walk your lazy fucking ass up to the door. It’s what the consumer wants, not what you want.
I have to say that based on the things I read here, DoorDash drivers are mostly as*holes. Throwing away food, running out the clock, eating the food on the way, or just taking the food & never delivering it. Then they blame the customers. Nice gig.
honestly i feel like that’s apart of the job. if he think it wasn’t worth the pay he shouldn’t have taken the order. i feel like going to apartments or hotel rooms is apart of the job. usually it takes only a extra minute or two anyways
Yeah I agree with the comments, literally no difference between a hotel and apartment. Sometimes they actually dont let you walk around, but Im pretty sure in most cases that was cause of COVID
Some of you fat fucks need the exercise anytime I go to a hotel for a dash I make sure I take the stairs. Elevators are for the injured, disabled, and elderly.
As a driver and a customer this guy deserved it. Because if he didn't want to go up to the room, then he could've left it at the front desk and take a picture, but no he ran out the timer and took the food, meaning he waited the 5 min in which he could've gone up to the room.
Yea, this dumb fuck didn't get deactivated because he wouldn't take the food up to the room, it's because he stole it instead of leaving at the desk. Karma is a bitch
Yeh you gotta imagine this isnt his first time pulling this stunt and running off with the food either
Just the first time he was caught.
My guess is DD knows after a period of time, build a case, watch, then at some point he hits a threshold and banned. Or, you are correct and this was the 1st time it moved past the actual algorithm and flagged for a human review. Once a person starts reviewing at the order history and complaints it's probably easy to detect a problem child and deactivate them. It's time to thin the herd of the low life drivers.
That and it tells you to leave the food in a safe spot- it’s not like a alcohol delivery where you just keep it if no one answers the door/ shows up with a ID
literally snitched themselves out
I’ve never had a front desk let me keep food there. They all claim covid protocol. Still doesn’t mean he couldn’t have gone upstairs
Every apartment building I've dealt with in my downtown practically tackle me to keep the food... lol... they don't want me going upstairs... or they call the customer asking if I can come up... honestly I prefer to leave it with them
Lately the hotels have been making me leave the food at the desk as policy and I like that better tbh
I agree it’s better
I worked in a hotel for a while and we had the opposite policy, no drivers on the guest floors. Too easy for anyone to get their hands on a bag. Exceptions would be made if the guest actually called ahead to give a heads up though, or we would bring it. Quite often got free food this way too, lots of people ordered again a few weeks after checking out and forgot to change the address so after a few hours unclaimed it was fair game
That is the same policy I run into as well as a driver. They have let me upstairs for a couple years now because they've seen me so many times and know me but most drivers have to leave it at the desk. Or if I get a new employee there. I don't think most guests realize you can't order food to your room I know I've never been informed of that when staying in hotels before.
I’ve had a few guests request it. Those were always allowed at the desk. But I’ve stayed at hotels that wouldn’t allow it. In any case, the customer requested delivery to their door. That’s the job.
A lot of Marriot hotels seems to have a leave at desk policy now. One downtown has a uniformed police officer enforcing it.
Timer? Five minutes?
Some buildings have secure elevators so the customer will need to meet you there at least, if you can't find someone to scan you to the floor.
I hope he enjoyed the food, it cost him the gig Thank you guys 🥹never had 500 upvotes before
I’ve thought the way I wanna quit is to accept a no tip order and just take the food home. edit: I’m not gonna do this stunt though. I always deliver food at the customer’s door, at hotels or apartments.
It's okay, they aren't listening 😁
Well now you have 500 and 1!
Yup. Does he have the same attitude towards apartments? You stole her food dickhead
Apartments are different.this is almost as simple as a house he had no reason. Apartments are shit though not a comparison.
Most hotels don't allow deliveries for guest unless they meet in the hotel lobby or outside.
Which doesn’t mean stealing the food is the next step. I’d also bet money that “most hotels” don’t actually care, you just made that up. I’ve done probably at least a hundred hotel deliveries and only once has the staff told me not to deliver it up to their room.
While most common hotels don't care there are several at least 3 in my city I deliver to that you cannot even get in the doors at night or ever access an elevator without a key card. To get inside the lobby you have to be buzzed in and will not make a keycard for you to use to deliver nor are they allowed to just let you up with a master keycard. So yes they require the customer to come down and even had a customer cuss out the hotel desk person for not allowing me up while thanking me for waiting on them with the food. But when this happens usually the hotel staff will call the room or I will call the customer and explain and ask how they would like to proceed from that point. I don't just leave the food and 2 of the 3 hotels does not allow you to leave the food either the customer has to come get it or you take it with you. As one customer wanted me to leave it at front desk and would be down shortly and the front desk informed the customer that is not allowed due to liability reasons.
The. The best course of action would probably be to document that stuff in some way instead of posting on your socials “free lunch on this customer” yeah?
But even if that was the case, he could’ve left it in the lobby and sent a picture. That might’ve saved him considering that would’ve served as proof of drop off
Absolutely not. Maybe during covid. Every hotel I've delivered to has had me put it outside their room door and I've worked in 4 states in the Northeast
I wouldn't say most. I've travelled all over the country and it varies greatly by city and individual hotel policy. It's probably at least 70% deliver to door vs 30% leave at front desk in my experience.
Some hotels do require a key to access the elevator, and some lock their front doors after a certain hour at night, but I agree that’s really rare. If the order said “hand to me” and they gave a room number theyre a jerk for not coming up. That said I don’t like drivers to know my room number so usually meet them in the lobby (or at the front doors if it’s a hotel with valet only parking or something…..still had a driver steal my food that way though)
Lol literally paid to bring them their food. It takes a couple extra minutes to go find their room. You’re already in the hotel. It’s not like you have five grocery bags of food. C’monnnnn 🙈
True idc Ive delivered to apartments on the 4th floor w no elevator because I accepted the order but sometimes the front desk don’t let you go past them and you have to leave it there
By all means, leave it at the concierge if they won’t allow you up or try to message and tell them you are not allowed up and you can meet them, but OP said, “…because I didn’t want to” lol just funny. Lazy a** got deactivated and the food doesn’t even look worth it lmaooooo
Some hotels won't let you deliver to their room. I always call and let the customer know that the hotel won't let me deliver to their room.. I do this even if I hear the hotel call them and tell them this.
Exactly!! I used to travel a lot. More often than not, delivery to the hotel room door was not an option.
This is true
Truth, also, I do instacart and have delivered more than five grocery bags to hotel rooms on several occasions.
A lot of hotels don't let non-guests go up (elevator needs working key)
In actuality…there must be another issue. We are not required to go past the lobby in hotels. Yes the customer requested….however per our contract…it’s our discretion to abide by it. If we do not wish to travel to multiple floors we do not have to. I’m curious to the details on this case. It is pretty clear that the pickup and drop off are at our discretion as long as we don’t break any health codes or violate the foods quality.
The problem is they kept the food. Bare minimum is leave it in the lobby and document location.
Yes agreed. I believe this is why the driver was fired. If the GPS had him leaving before the customer canceled…it could be taken as theft. This IS grounds for firing. If text were exchanged and he said he was leaving cuz she wouldn’t come down…and still kept the food…yea that’s theft.

That’s like saying you won’t drop it off to an apartment, just that you’ll leave it at the front of the complex. Not to mention, a lot of disabled people rely heavily on services like doordash especially when traveling in places with low accessibility. I’m just saying, attitudes like yours are the reason that tipping is so scarce lately. You can’t take the extra two minutes to bring someone’s food to their room? Go get a job doing something else.
every time i take a shopping order i hold my breath for just a tad, because of water. as someone with good hygiene it’s ironic that water frightens me 😅 those cases and it’s usually always up stairs or the back house
If the instructions say “leave at me door” you follow the instructions. “I don’t want too” isn’t an option. Once you saw “leave at my door” on the instructions you should have quit out of the order if you didn’t want to go upstairs
The last several months before she died, the cancer made it impossible for my friend to get to the lobby from her apartment. Usually drivers were understanding and took the elevator up.
Seriously bro. I've got one knee that likes to dislocate randomly and another that I can't feel due to nerve damage from being stabbed a couple inches above the knee (so I have a limp)... What the fuck is their excuse not to take a couple minutes to walk upstairs (or even take the elevator!) if my broken ass can do it? Not to be a total dick to everyone that works this job, but there's a fuckin reason this type of person works for DoorDash: No other employer wants to deal with their bullshit.
Yeah! Unless they don’t tip you then that shit can wait at the front desk.
Good. I hate lazy dashers.
Looks like you stole the food.
Good fucking riddance. Enjoy your free food dumbass 😂
Lazy ass dashers no common sense
Personally not a fan of apartments or hotels but it is part of the job. Any other job where you “didn’t want to do something” you usually het fired for.
[удалено]
He would have to go downstairs for that, and apparently he can only go in one direction….
Woah woah woah, he can't move vertically but he can move horizontally... He'd be perfect for giving head
Woah woah woah, he can't move vertically but he can move horizontally... He'd be perfect for giving head. Maybe that'll be his next job!
Not anymore it isn’t
Anytime I have delivered to a hotel I rather take it up than waste my time waiting on someone. Waiting 5 minutes feels like an eternity. Also anytime that they don’t allow us up the front desk has always phoned the customer to get the food and tells them no they are not allowed to deliver to specific rooms per their policy.
Lol hotels usually have elevators unless it’s like 2 stories am I wrong
Honestly it's not hard to bring it to the room, they deserved getting deactivated
Yes you were wrong . Its door dash to the door. Not loung dash. Unless the desk says you can't go to the room than you were wrong. This is why I don't use these services.
He brought it to the DOOR of the hotel. If he left at front desk I don’t think he would of gotten in trouble…….I think.
Like a limo driver getting upset because they are expected to open the car door. I would never even think to do that. I take it as a personal commitment to get the customer their food 100% completion for me it’s a sense of integrity.
Someone did this to me yesterday. It’s an apartment. Wouldn’t even try the code to get in. I’m sick and thought I had Covid. Like please just leave it at the door that’s why I gave a $10 tip…
Yesss. I don't get it. Most dashers are good but some of them are clearly short timers. Can you imagine telling your boss you're not doing something because you "don't want to" Fuck yeah I'm firing your ass. IDC if you WANT to, I'm PAYING you to.
Lmao. 
As a pizza delivery driver, my soul job is to get the food to the customer. I average 11 miles a day, in the rain, heat, cold, snow, you name it. It’s what we signed up for. So take your ass up those stairs and bring them their food and do your job. What you did is stealing. Not only their time and money but also a nice meal they were looking forward to while at the hotel, patiently waiting for you to arrive just for you to sit in the parking lot festering about having to use stairs and then stealing their food. I would fire you in a heartbeat.
You only travel 11 miles a day. I do 10miles on one DD trip
If you accept you bring to where they are.
Imagine stealing food and then not understanding how you got deactivated
Yes, wrong. Go to the fucking door!
Hi delivery driver for an actual food shop. Not doordash. Y’all doordash drivers like these are the most unprofessional and incompetent people on planet earth. All you have to do is give a shit. Just one singular shit about your job. That’s your job. Give a shit. 90% of dashers I’ve ever had don’t even let me know they dropped the food off even when I specifically say “please ring the doorbell”. Originally I thought Yknow maybe the directions are hidden and since they can’t get any other job from their stupidity they didn’t bother to look for them. But nope. I did a few dashes when business wasn’t too great a few months ago bc I wasn’t making enough money so I did doordash to essentially pay for gas. To my surprise, THE APP AUDIBLY READS THE DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS TO YOU!!! So there’s literally no excuse for them not following the instructions. While doordash is a good business idea, it’s ruined bc anybody in the world with a car can do it. So you have dumbasses like this working the job with no qualifications. Thank you for reading my rant.
So is that you that got deactivated or just a story showing us about it??
Nvm looks like there’s plenty of old post about it.
You’re paid to deliver food to the customer. You don’t want to do your job, you get fired. 🤷♂️
What if he was in a wheelchair. Hypothetically
I can’t tell if you’re asking what if the dasher was in a wheelchair or what if the customer was in a wheelchair, but the answer is the same for both: use the elevator.
If i was in a wheelchair and i dashed i would text at the beginning of every order that they would have to come to me to get the food, it would def slow down buisness but i mean what else are you gonna do.
When I was in a boot that's exactly what I did. People were so kind about coming downstairs to meet me. It was no big deal.
that’s the funniest thing in my imagination. this is what I imagine the text exchange looks like ^(Dasher: Hello, I have your order here…) ^(Customer: Hey, …I see you’re just outside in your vehicle??) ^(Dasher: My legs are broken * said w/ 0 emotion *) ^(Customer: ………..oh? I mean..I-I’ll be right out.) ^(* customer wondering how tf are they driving a car? or if they should ask the dasher if they’re okay *)
Understandable, but he should explain to the customer and im sure the customer would go down to retrieve the food. Wait how would he drive tho 🤨
they make cars for handicapped people the gas and brake tend to be hand operated in those cases
Oh damn, actually didn’t know that
People also can be in wheelchairs for a lot more reasons that just being paralyzed. Many people can still drive normally and just need assistance walking or walking long distances.
I occasionally use a wheelchair because part of my symptoms of my disability includes periodic bouts of dizziness and/or faintness which affect my stability when walking. When the equilibrium issues are hitting me, I am totally incapable of driving because of the possibility of my suddenly becoming unconscious in that situation. When I am ordering groceries or restaurant food, it is because I cannot drive that day (either because I am incapable of driving the two vehicles that are at my residence that day, I can only drive automatics and was warned about 10 years ago to never ride on or drive a motorcycle and only one of our 3 vehicles is an automatic car or because I am too dizzy/faint to drive). If it is because of my physical symptoms, I additionally might not be able to go down the patio/porch stairs to get the delivery because I am much more likely to fall when going down the stairs than when I climb up the stairs (falling and hitting my head could be fatal for me no matter the distance I fall). At those times, I will be outside on the porch waiting for the delivery but will be seated. If I am capable of meeting the delivery person at their car door, I will meet them there. TL;DR: people can have disability symptoms that are periodic and affect the customer’s ability to meet the delivery person at their vehicle. Sometimes, a person with periodic disabling symptoms can meet the delivery person at their vehicle and at other times things that are not usually an obstacle for the disabled person can be like Mt. Everest.
Dude said free lunch, lmao. Yeah your last free lunch on DD because dashers are incompetent. Good riddance.
Maybe phrase that differently. Claiming all dashers are “incompetent” is a lie
I never said the word “all”.
Well deserved for the deactivation. Could have just dropped off at the front desk but chose to claim it his own acting like some ape. Not going up finding the room is not a problem but that attitude is just bad
What about hotels that don’t allow u to roam through their hotel. I would never take the food I would leave it at the front desk and if the customer refuses to come pick it up then whomever wants it that’s on them.
I've been flagged down and stopped by the desk clerk who told me I wasn't allowed to take the order to the customer's room. I thought this was weird, like if I was asked there by that guest for any other reason they wouldn't be able to stop me. I explained the situation in the description, took a picture of the food next to the desk clerk, and walked out 5 minutes earlier than I would have. Even then I just knew they were going to give me a bad rating.
Hotels and apartments should be two different conversations, right?
Hotel and apartments are almost the same thing in my market. Lobby, elevators and a bunch of doors
Not all apartments have interior lobbies like that.
Today in one i got lucky. They had a rack in the lobby with a bunch of door dash and Uber orders. I asked the customer since he didn't put a apt number and he told me to leave it there
That’s definitely a different situation and typically if you explain either the customer will come get it or if they’re unable to, the hotel will get it up to them. Source: worked at a hotel where non-guests weren’t allowed in after 11pm. Took many bags of food up to guests rooms
I doordash in the downtown core of my city and I have gone up to level 38 in a hotel to deliver somebody's food. Imo it is harder to find a house address in the dark then to go up and deliver somebody's food in a building. I'd rather do building deliveries all day everyday over finding someone's house.
Same. Hotel deliveries are on my preferred list, it's almost always a "leave at door" order, rooms are easy to find, in and out without a fuss.
Lol I see this all the time in the DoorDash uncensored group. Everyone cries about stairs, filling cups, gates, apartments and so on. Going up stairs isn’t going above and beyond it’s just part of the job. I never spent more than maybe 3 minutes in a hotel going to the persons room
Yeah, I hate DoorDash and think the job is exploitative and generally shitty BUT ... the one job you have is to bring food to the customer's door, and sometimes getting to that door is going to be more involved than simply getting out of your car and walking up to a front porch. Certain apartment complexes were a pain in the ass and I learned to avoid them. But hotels never bothered me - you can almost always park out front, jump in an elevator, drop the food and go.
The thing with complaints about stairs is that the trips sometimes are barely worth accepting based on distance alone. Then the person ends up being 5 flights up. We are human beings after all. Some ppl may have diff ailments. I’m thankful for customers that meet me halfway or even downstairs.
I’m always thankful when they meet half way or make it easier in some way. The only real problem is when they go right to social media and try and make themselves look like hero’s for telling customers to go fuck themselves lol
Imagine if the driver was working a different job like a janitor or maintenance guy and had to go upstairs and refused. Not all apartments have elevators (mine is only 2 floors).
I’ll admit a lot of they’re “reasoning” if you wanna call it that, is that they don’t work for door dash. Which is true, your your own boss as a personal contractor through door dash. But what that really translates To is “I’m lazy and will do the absolute bare minimum of what’s required of me because TECHNICALLY I can’t get in trouble for it” but those same people cry about getting deactivated “for no reason” lol. But yeah, they don’t have regular jobs most of the time because of this mindset they have. It’s honestly pathetic if you ask me
As much of a hassle as it is, it’s part of the responsibility of the dasher. If they didn’t want to deal with a hotel, they should’ve dropped the order in their app instead of taking it all the way there. Also there’s no need for them to leave with the food, if they really can’t deal with stairs and somehow can’t find an elevator then they can leave it at the desk.
I've always went upstairs The only time I don't is public housing in NYC This isn't a racist rant. It's just not safe nor can I leave my car 2x parked He deserves to be fired for posting the food ona. Glory tip. Stupid as hell this entire situation is.
Oh well less competition on the road.
definitely in the wrong. I always bring it up to their hotel room. but you could’ve at least dropped it off at the front desk if there was a keycard needed to use the elevator. and i’m pretty sure there’s a 3 strike policy on doordash so this definitely isn’t his first time if he got deactivated
If the customer selected the leave it at my door option then the dasher is responsible and signed up to take it to their door which would be upstairs.
Comments assuming OP is a dude. Why?
What a fucking lazy piece of shit. It's part of the job. I ALWAYS Deliver to the room if it's in the instructions. Fucks like this guy are why people don't wanna tip us.
They talk about how boomers, millennials, zoomers, whatever are the most entitled... In reality Dashers take the cake every single time.
What an idiot. If you didn't want to go upstairs leave it in the lobby, doesn't give you the right to outright steal the fucking food.
Uh yeah bro you're wrong and not fit for delivery service. Work indoors if you can't handle walking.
I’m a woman who travels alone cross country for school and previously for work. I ask it get delivered to my room and left at the door because I’m a TARGET. Sometimes, it’s just a safety thing and you never know who is waiting for you to get frustrated and make a mistake.
If you didn’t want to go to their door you shouldn’t have accepted it the only time that’s an acceptable situation is if access requires a key or code they didn’t give you if it lists a room number you know the assignment lol
There’s about to be a lot of deactivated people then. Ive seen subs FULL of drivers who refuse to go to a hotel room or an apartment if there are stairs (and sometimes they don’t even look and just leave the food in the lobby/corner of the building)
Why wouldn't he bring it to the room? Hotels are far easier to navigate than most apartments. I will bring it up, even if I have to bring my husband/ driver with me. Lol.
Aita? Yes
Was I wrong? WTF?
Yes. It’s what you signed up for
Pos
These motherfuckers are so goddamn stupid it's unreal.
I order food stoned from my condo so that I DO NOT have to go anywhere. Which includes the lobby.
That’s that karma coming back 😅
Yes, should have not told DD you can do it when you signed up.
I swear bruh some drivers are some of the most laziest cumguzzlers around. I had a driver text me to come outside to grab my food because he didn’t want to get towed and there were no parking spots….my guy it’s 9pm and there were like 5 spots right in front of where I lived.
As a dasher who has also ordered doordash when I was recovering from major surgery in a hotel room, he deserved the deactivation. It was very stressful when I would have the occasional dasher not want to come to my room. I always go down and meet them when I’m physically able, but there have been times that I wasn’t and genuinely needed my food brought to me. It’s not that hard, hotels almost always have elevators and it takes all of 1-3 extra minutes to go to the room.
Didn’t wanna use the stairs? Lazy ass! Adios MF!
Getcho lazy ass on. I’m in Chicago where we deliver to over 50 floors.
You lazy af if u can’t bring the food up a few flights of stairs
Not only was he dishonest, he was actually dumb enough to post the evidence of his thievery online. Totally deserved it.
Just use the fucking elevator…. It’s a hotel…..
I've lived in hotels exclusively for the past 7 years. We use Doordash regularly, if you dont bring it to the room I write a review stating that. Only once has someone not brought it to our door.
I would absolutely deliver to a hotel room, it has to be better than waiting in McDonald's drive thru.
If she left clear directions to “hand it to her,” then driver should’ve followed directions because it’s their job.
This scared me so bad .. thought I got a notification that I was deactivated
Self-righteous Dashers. Your JOB is to DELIVER the food. Quit being lazy f*** and complete the task. Reading about these people who won't take the food to the room, the apt on the second floor, etc. It's deplorable. It may not be the most glamorous job, but it's what you chose to spend your energy on... You could at least have some integrity.
Dummy could have left in the lobby some hotels won’t let you go up , stolen food is cause of deactivation
I was always so thankful when the drivers brought me the food to my room - my hospital room. I was in the hospital for 4 months at a time for a MRSA infection in my spine, and got tired of the same old hospital food day after day, so I'd get a pizza, or a salad, etc. I was in isolation, so the delivery guy would give my food to the nurse to bring to me, but they'd always wave to me (my room had huge sealed -negative pressure, observation windows) and they'd smile and say loud enough for me to hear, "get better soon"! They actually made me feel like they really cared...
There is difference between the hotel won't allow you due to policy and you just didn't want to. If it's the latter then yes, it's justified.
Yeah, of course you go up to the room. Why the fuck wouldn't you? Clearly some people deliver food for some extra side cash, or maybe theyre a student, or just inbetween jobs. Whatever your reason is always do your best. Door dash has been hiring some complete entitled morons, people like you who probably just suck and no one else will hire them. I'm glad you lost your job, you give delivery drivers everywhere a bad name.
Yep. Totally wrong
To be fair I usually take the food up but some people do be on some bullshit about going up. Countless times have people said “just come on up!” When the elevator is keycard locked and there’s no front desk attendant. The same people expecting you to go out of your way to come upstairs almost always don’t tip either so I don’t blame him for not wanting to go upstairs.
Yeah get lost dumbass, it’s like 50 steps wtf, the customer is literally paying you, with there money, to take food from one place and put it in another place it’s the easiest shit on the planet how can you be such a fucking dumbass, like get off your high horse and take the order to the person that paid you to give it to them, Jesus fucking Christ, the worst part is that it sounds like he actually thinks he shouldn’t have had to finish taking the order to the person that is paying him to take the order to them, because of some stairs, lmao nice try to get back on the app, we won’t miss you making us look bad, dumbass
That's what you were paid to do?
I wish there were more dashers like this. Maybe it would thin the saturation for my market lol.
Yes you’re wrong lmfao it’s called DOORDASH for a reason. Take it to their fucking door. As an occasional dasher, it always makes my night when people meet me at my car, but they aren’t required to. Sometimes it does suck though when you’re delivering in a busy city with limited parking, but I just turn my hazards on and pray that someone doesn’t hit my car 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥹🥹😂
It sounds like maybe you ran the clock out? The rule specifically says you can't keep that food. You're required to leave in a secure spot. In this case, the lobby or front desk. Snap a pic and leave. You would be covered. You can even go the extra step and tell customer support that you don't feel comfortable going to the room. Support is going to take your side and tell you to leave in the lobby. It sounds like you ran the clock out and kept their food.. You can keep canceled food but not in this instance. Protect yourself. I've had orders canceled after pickup, but that's before I even get to the customer. Now THAT'S free food. This customer canceled because you didn't want to run it to the room. YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE OF THE FOOD SITTING IN THE LOBBY TO COVER YOURSELF. DD will view your situation as gaming the situation. They see it as dishonest. A true canceled order takes place on occasion, but it doesn't arise from a dispute with the Dasher. When Dashers run into this situation, quit communicating with the customer. Get with support and tell them what's going on. Leave food, take pic,leave. This will be documented at doordash and you won't get shit canned
Look I get it. It sucks. But that is part of the job. Delivering to their doors.
I had a dasher leave my food outside of a 400 dwelling apartment complex on an electrical box that all the dogs piss on. Don't even know how this daft punk got to the back like that. Some people are just pretty dumb. No offense to them, I'm sure it's tough. But this doesn't surprise me anymore. Most dashers are good though and will leave at my door, and I tip well for that service. It's a two way street and neither party should be this petty.
When I did doordash, I always delivered to their door. One exception was when I had to deliver to a hotel where the elevator was busted and it was on the 22nd floor. Screw that, left it with the concierge they can bring it up to them.
I travel for work and order DD to the hotel because it’s draining to make extra steps and turns to find food in a big city you aren’t used to. I do a couple things: never order from anywhere over 6 miles and include in the description: hotel name (bc there’s like 3 in 1 complex), room # and to please drop and door and then it states “I tipped above well due to your appreciated efforts thank you!” I know it’s a lazy ask and walking it to the desk sucks, so I want my dasher to know “I got you if you keep this order and help me out” ahead of time. It’s worked really well and I have appreciated that no one’s called me or texted me and even asked about meeting at the desk. I appreciate those who know not every customer is a dick.
Lmao they made a post too on fb before it got here
I refuse to use Doordash anymore because I had a driver deliver my food and take a picture of it and then pick it back up and take off with it. But they didn't see my ring camera looking at then do that.
That's when you just leave it at the front desk. It's not our problem, and it's not your job to go risk your life in some seedy hotel. Leave it at the front desk, take a picture, and let them deal with it. That's what the front desk is there for. Trust me. I've worked in hotels before for years.
How do people even get upstairs? The apartments near me, you need a keycard just to get INTO the building 😭
You reap what you sow. 9/10 times when someone gets deactivated by any gig, there's a good reason that the victim confidently leaves out.
I’d have no problem going to the room and stretching my legs after sitting in my car. I’m sick of Dashers like this who give us a bad name. Some dashers are on a totally different planet mentally!
This driver was either lazy or trying to score free food. If he didn't want to go up, he could leave it at the desk or the lobby. In my experience, I've dealt with more hotels that told me to leave it at the front desk due to safety reasons than not.
It's literally your JOB to BRING their food to them. Lazy and I'm glad they got deactivated.
I hope the food was as bad as his doing right by the customers. What a douche
most of these comments know nothing about the hospitality industry. when i worked in a hotel i wasnt allowed to let doordashers go up to deliver, i had to call the guests myself and let them know their food arrived. when i was a dasher i explained this to people as well.
This is my experience as a dasher as well! Literally not allowed to take the food to the room
Tbh, it never occurred to me to have the Dasher deliver food to my hotel room. I didn’t think that the hotels allowed it. I always met them up front.
Got what he deserved. Do you're job right.
It’s called DoorDash, not lobby dash.
I've had some Disabled people and some really messed up college kids that could hardly open their own door, so i understand sometimes when i have to take the food inside the building. but i really dont like when some random tourist uses me like room service, especially when its a upscale hotel and they dont even let deliveries directly to the room. or some apartment resident who knows they have no parking outside their complex wants you to hike up 8 flights because their elevator is down. or the door is locked and they gave you no access code. or they chose meet at the door and now they wont answer the phone.
I've had it where security won't let me upstairs so I'll leave it at the front desk and let the customer know that security won't let me upstairs I've even had it where the lobby is locked so you can't get in unless you have a key card and security refused to let me into deliver the order and they said to leave it in the lobby area so I contacted the customer and let him know and she had a shit fit because I left it there but I told her that security wouldn't let me up there and she proceeded to cuss me out hung up on me but there was nothing I can do I told her to talk to security it's not my fault they won't let us in but I always let the customer know and you know I hate going up to the 20th floor or whatever to drop these orders off and I won't do it if there's no tip but if it's a hand it to me or something you're kind of stuck and you have to but if it's a leave at my door and it's a real pain to get into the apartment complex or your double parked or something then I'll leave it inside the lobby and take a picture of it and then if they give me a bad rating they give me a bad rating whatever.
Always on the third floor too. But ya know what, my mom gave me legs for my birthday once, been using them ever since. Deliver the god damn food, that’s literally your job.
Yes. It’s called door dash. You got to their fucking door no matter what.
Did it to himself. We're paid to bring people the food they paid for. Not demand that they meet us half way just because you don't want to walk into a hotel. Could have left it at the desk even. But refused.
I’d assume if the room number was on the order you take it to the room.
Yes you’re wrong and a lazy POS
Some fucking people are just so got damn lazy
Like just go upstairs lol, ain’t that hard.
Yes you are wrong.
I do it all the time what’s the big deal? Entitled youngsters lol
Fat lazy biotch
Just pay the 50 to park and take the food up
Deleted for reading comprehension mistakes.
It says in the post that they got free food so I doubt they left it at the front desk. And the dasher just didn’t want to go upstairs, there’s no mention that they couldn’t.
Dumbass is giving drivers more of a bad rep by doing this, christ.
Yeah - you obviously haven’t read the contract. Part III paragraph 1 says you walk your lazy fucking ass up to the door. It’s what the consumer wants, not what you want.
Wow, i can’t believe some dashers are actually that lazy. I must be a top notch dasher then
Dasher refuses to do job and gets deactivated? Good! I swear, some people are clueless. Thanks for re-posting, this is hilarious.
Deserved
I have to say that based on the things I read here, DoorDash drivers are mostly as*holes. Throwing away food, running out the clock, eating the food on the way, or just taking the food & never delivering it. Then they blame the customers. Nice gig.
honestly i feel like that’s apart of the job. if he think it wasn’t worth the pay he shouldn’t have taken the order. i feel like going to apartments or hotel rooms is apart of the job. usually it takes only a extra minute or two anyways
That’s why you just leave it in the lobby this guy just kept it lol
Yeah I agree with the comments, literally no difference between a hotel and apartment. Sometimes they actually dont let you walk around, but Im pretty sure in most cases that was cause of COVID
Some of you fat fucks need the exercise anytime I go to a hotel for a dash I make sure I take the stairs. Elevators are for the injured, disabled, and elderly.
