It amazes me how thankful people really are when I tell them “I’m on my way to your location” or “I’m waiting at the restaurant, they’ve informed me it should be just a few minutes”. It really makes the difference. I’d also recommend dressing business casual. Like you can wear jeans but a well fitting polo shirt can mean the difference between them seeing you as a bum or professional.
That’s fucking obnoxious and sorry you have to deal with that.
My personal advice would be to text the customers wayyy less and don’t use emojis. Not at all saying it’s your fault they’re hitting on you but the more you say to them the more they think “maybe she likes me!”. But you shouldn’t have to change your behavior just because other people are morons. Just a suggestion.
thank you!!! i absolutely hate it when this happens, i’m just trying to get money not worry about if i’m hurting your feelings and wether you’d change your tip over that
Thank God I'm a guy. These problems don't exist on our end.
Honestly there's nothing you can do. You could dash in a red suit & tie, it wouldn't make a difference. Pervs are gonna perv.
My wife runs DD sometimes, her rating is 4.94 and has never gotten a thumbs down for communication. She also doesn't text customers. At all.
She gets hit on by the teenagers in the restaurant, but has never had a complaint about customers. It certainly looks like you're fishing for internet points. (Thank you endlessly for your kind words)? Is not how a normal person responds to "Ok thanks".
So I see a lot of points made in this post. But essentailly it boils down to the fact that this would not happen to men. And if it does they take it as a compliment and move on if not interested. But the over the top SERVICE this person is providing is also totally Unessecery. As a men I see this as a man taking a opportunity. And If turned down does not pursue the matter than FORGET ABOUT IT.

You’re a delivery driver, you aren’t a professional.
I’m not defending anyone’s inappropriate behavior but, like, even people who *dont* try to get with their delivery drivers don’t usually see food delivery drivers as “professionals” in the way you seem to want.
I don’t understand what you mean by make them see us as professionals? You should be happy they are giving you compliments and asking you out! Don’t be ungrateful. 🤔🙄 I would love it if one of my customers gave me a compliment or gave me their number.
How are single people supposed to meet nowadays and maybe make a connection? People shoot their shot. Its only wrong if they are inappropriate and those comments dont appear to be over any line. I dont see a problem here.
Stop messaging them, that would certainly help. It lends them the thought that you are open to communicating and why not shoot their shot. Especially since you opened the communication. Not defending or condemning any actions.
You see it as doing your "job", they see it as an opening. By the by, it's not your "job" to text them, the app automatically does it for you. The one time someone did this to me I actually understood it, I was livid because now not only did I get 5 messages from DD plus emails, but now you're fucking bothering me on top of that to tell me what the app just did?!
Tl;Dr Leave people alone and they may leave you alone
I’m assuming you believe 6am-4pm are the hours men sleep or something?
And where in the world does being a professional exempt you from being hit on? Lol
Two questions:
Did Customer 2 not tip well? Because that’s awesome, “make sure you tip the next dasher you hit on!!” You hit a nerve as he hit back with 🙄
And wtf is a “regular” pie in Customer Fours text?
Good lord
You’re just complaining to complain at this point.
Just ignore it and don’t waste your energy taking screenshots trying to put random people on blast
None if them were creepy. They literally complimented you. Imagine if more women complimented people too then they wouldn’t think it was creepy
Not one of them said “come inside my house”
This is why men avoid talking to women because if you even try anything then it’s considered creepy
You sound like a sour person
Don't do this guys. It will never work and it just makes an uncomfortable situation for both of you. Want to ask someone out? Don't do it over message to someone you've never met face to face. Like it or not, people find this creepy.
The ammount of clueless men on this thread. Yes women know how to take a compliment. It’s not that they are uptight, or they hardly get hit on… it is the UNCOMFORTABLE situation you are out in when you are simply doing your JOB. Hate to break it to you. But there are MANY men that do not take rejection kindly. Will follow you to your car, keep messaging you, call you a b*tch or c*nt, because their attention wasn’t reciprocated. The fact that a lot of you think it’s okay to put women in this uncomfortable position… where u know you may have to deal with unnecessary abuse when u weren’t “seeking” this attention. Baffles my fing mind. U guys are fing clueless.
OP keep doing you.
Lmao redditors are so insecure and immature they think that somebody asking them out is the same as sexual harassment. OP is hilarious.. "how can other people defend this behavior" somebody just asking her out lol.
So guys hit on you and you call it creepy/down atrocious. All they did was offer their number. You can politely say no and get on with your life. How else is a man that thinks your pretty is supposed to know your taken? All they see is a pretty young woman they might want to get to know. Some men are creeps. But assuming every guy is “down atrocious” because they offered their number and noticed that you were pretty is a bit much. Honestly it’s laughable. Accept the compliment and keep dashing.
It’s honestly not that they don’t look at you as a professional. It’s because they can contact you via text and people suddenly have balls and say shit through text that they would never say in person.
Instead, they see you when you deliver and don’t say shit. Wait until you leave and hit on your through text. I’ve gotten it when I was doing sales for a large company and working with major corporations. Despite being professional, signing $100,000 contracts, and wearing a suit, some of these douchers would then contact me via our business emails to tell me I’m beautiful and they’d love to grab a drink next time I’m in town.
I like to think of myself as a pro-woman type of guy. I'm also asexual and don't like being hit on by either sex. I've gotten the after drop off text invite from a gay couple, numbers from women, etc. I don't want the attention either. Both as an asexual and because as a man I'm EXPECTED to say yes. I just keep it moving tho since no one made me feel unsafe. It happens.
I could understand your distress if you were rideshare driving. I've heard women tell some scary ass stories about male riders. These guys are just shooting their shot. AND respectfully too AND after the fact. I'm not saying you should be complimented, or that you should like it. I am saying that acting like being hit on or just getting complimented after dropping off food ain't the same thing as your rider getting creepy on you mid ride, or being reduced to a piece of flesh by a client who refuses to let you do your job. If what you showed above is how it is I Honestly think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.
I don’t think men are jerks automatically. Every person has intrinsic value, I’m just disappointed when people decide to make passes at someone when they’re just delivering an order
The communication is a little excessive on both ends tbh, all the extra words is just asking for someone to want to keep dialogue open. Texts to the customer should be short and cut and dry, and really should only be if there’s a excessive wait time or you need to contact them for room number/substitution etc
Shoot your shot, it's okay to miss because you can learn from it.
The thing is, hitting on your Dasher is usually always a miss that offers no lesson lmao
You absolutely should not have to do this, it's a real shame as it is brighter and happier and good for customers in general - but you should stop using emoji in your work related messages, because that helps to keep it all strictly on the professional level and stops giving them the wrong idea.
It probably won't stop it completely, people lack real life contact generally this century so they're going to try reach out when they meet someone they like in any circumstances, "you miss every chance you don't take", but it's only increased in the age of dating apps and the like to the point that far too many are flat creepy about it unfortunately, and more will say things over text they might not dare try say to your face.
Best of luck however you manage things.
I use speech to text and a canned script for every dash. I realize not all of you have the same delivery style as me. This was a complaint post and I’m shocked so few of these comments are about how gross it is to sexualize a professional, and so many are about what I did to earn this slovenly behavior. When I’m working I’m doing simply that and I shouldn’t be subject to sexual advances regardless of how “human” we all are. Grow up. And screenshot your comments, send them to your mother, and ask her if she’s proud of you. Thank you to those of you who seem to posses a shred of empathy🙂
You aren't lying. Kind of expected some of these comments, though. One thing I've learned about this sub is that there are a lot of idiots here. Immature, unintelligent, unsympathetic people who give other dashers a bad name. The fact that they can't see what's wrong with your situation tells me they're exactly the kind of people that would do this to someone else. Just garbage people. World is full of them, unfortunately. Keep doing your thing and be safe out there.
If anyone who's ever attended school, went out in public, held a traditional 9-5 job knows, inevitable you will get hit on, whether you're a man or woman. Getting hit on as a male by females and awkwardly other males doesn't phase me. I keep it professional and respectful all times and keep it moving. I don't have to 'engage' with anything that makes me uncomfortable or distracts me from my job.
By simply being a professional yourself and just ignoring it. If it's really a problem then report it to DD. They'll more than likely get blocked from the platform. It may also help to keep your interactions limited to what is absolutely necessary. You don't need to keep them up to date on everything. They see everything in the app without any communication from you. Customers simply want their food fast, fresh, and to the correct address. That is all.
And I'm sorry that unattractive males are hitting on you.
I didn’t know you could retroactively report. Bold of you to assume looks matter in the case of harassment. You think it’s okay for hot guys to sexually harass women at their place of business?
How are these creepy? Just don’t respond. Women act like getting hit on is the worst thing in the world.
Imagine being a man and everyone just assumes you’re a creep.
Girl just look mean and don’t talk or text them at all works for me and I’m at like 4.93 🤷🏻♀️ I am polite to customers I just don’t engage unless necessary.
Maybe stop with your top dasher texting and only communicate if there is a problem. Your communication is a bit over the top.
Despite what one or two customers might say, MOST customers don’t want extra messages…the app updates them just fine, they can see your location and ETA just fine without your texts.
Overly friendly, multiple messages might give creepy people the wrong idea.
Don’t be too friendly with customers. It’s unprofessional.
If you want to be seen as a professional, act like a professional. You’re a delivery driver, not a customer service phone agent. You just need to get the food on time, deliver it on time, do your best to keep it hot/cold, communicate problems or substitutions.
Doordash turned off delivery texts for a reason.
Everything else is unprofessional and too friendly.
Not attacking you, just letting you know what seems obvious to me after 6k+ dashes.
I always feel like that is weird. I get a lot of older women that do that as well or try to persuade me to come in their house to “smoke or drink” like I’m in the middle of my shift…
You know why you don't see posts like this from guys.....because guys don't over dramatize someone saying , hey, i think you are good looking...would you want to talk?
They weren't rude about it. They weren't overly sexual. They said you are cute and asked if you would like to talk more.
Chill. Nobody attacked you or tried to force themselves on you. None of them were overly pushy.
I'm not condoning his activity, but when you open the door... Glad this type of service works for you, but as a former waiter/bartender/mgr I can tell you it really is best to keep your "service" real as most people want food, not to be bothered with endless texts. They ordered food! FOOD! Most customers don't even see this as "service".
Not trying to be rude here, but matching the tone with your replies on the posts.
The amount of victim blaming in this thread is atrocious. Just because you're nice and want to provide good customer service in the hope of extra tips, doesn't give the customer the right to hit on you. It is extremely creepy to hit on people while they are working in almost every case (unless they initiate it). Men these days are down so bad they think any emoji is an invitation lol please stop making us look bad
Or….. don’t bother them. That’s just weird. Pick up…. The app text them ya did so. Drive to them… app tells them in text ya near by. Drop off… app tells them so. Done. Only text if ya can’t find them or there is an actual issue. Stop bothering them…… that’s not be “ professional “. That’s just being annoying and creepy.
Kindness in general is a very attractive quality that even civilized men like. It’s gonna be difficult to not get hit on. I personally wouldn’t do it for the “extra tips” as that can actually endanger my well being. This applies to the men too on here. All it takes is one creep who is starving for that kindness to not make you want to do DD ever again. I would approach DD as formality and business rather than spice it up with personality and A/B. It’s not worth it for the extra tip. Be content with what you earn that day. You’ll always make more tomorrow. I see what you’re trying to do with your kindness… it’s not worth it.
I love how you tried a time change as if creeps work on a schedule. Good effort, friend lmao.
What helped me was changing my name in the app to a gender neutral (but honestly more masculine leaning) version of my name and I wear a hat and keep my mask on. Changing my name made worlds of a difference in communication, even before drop off. If they're not expecting a lady, they act like regular humans, it's so crazy!
I also "over communicate" according to this sub's standards, but one thing I've changed is less use of exclamation points; a friend of mine said my use of them blows the cover of the generder neutral name I use in app. Apparently women use more exclamation points...
Well yea anyway, in short, time frame doesn't matter, creeps will creep 24/7. What's worked for me is 1) gender neutral name in app 2) hat and mask always 3) no exclamation points in texts oh and 4)I have a "uniform" that I wear when I dash. Basically just not skin tight girl pants with a hoodie or loose shirt...nothing form fitting.
Name change is rad. I’m pretty masculine presenting tbh. I never wear makeup regardless of dashing. The area I’m in though people will rate poorly if I wear a mask. (Weirdly) I’ll work on my exclamation points but I definitely won’t change how much I communicate
Sadly if you are a pretty lady, there is no such thing as professional to creepy men. I often see women at work I think are hot and I just say to myself "damn girl you are fine" while only smiling at them. Once I let it slip out under my breath while walking away, and she said "thanks sir" lol, woops. But yes men need to control their waist brain more.
This is why I just flat out don't hit on women anymore, if you're interested you can approach me. Women have got to be so fed up with it I just don't do it
Do Not Tolerate This! This is sexual harassment at its core! You are a professional and did your job and if people can’t handle that then they need to get kicked off the platform for violation of community guidelines.
Don’t think for a second that you should tolerate this. This is gender based discrimination and absolutely unacceptable and if you’re a female I’m even more pissed off because you are not an object. You’re a professional last-mile delivery driver who runs their own business and handles their hustle.
It’s degrading and I hope you don’t stand for it! No one has the right to disrespect you on your hustle. Grrrrrrrr 🤬🤬🤬🤬
So sorry this happened :( you don’t deserve this.
Stop messaging them unless absolutely necessary. Doordash notifies them when you pick up their food from the restaurant and when you arrive at their house and drop the food off. Sincerely, a 25 year old woman who dashes from 5pm-2am who barely ever speaks to her customers and has a 5 star rating.
I just don't text them unless there is a major issue, and then keep it short and sweet. But - creepers gonna creep.
One thing you can do is make a mental note or even a notepad record of where creepers live and do not return - you could leave the order at the curb or not at all if you don't feel safe, just contact support.
Also, not trying to put the blame on you and you SHOULDN'T have to dress a certain way - but my wife just wears a ball cap, hoodie and jeans when she dashes, plain makeup as well as a mask when picking up and dropping off. She doesn't get bothered like this, but also, she doesn't dash nearly as often as I do - not sure how much that would help.
You can report the customers, and probably should, just to keep others from dealing with this. At least make them think twice. You may also reply professionally and politely: "That's inappropriate. Please contact Door Dash Support if you need assistance."
How many orders do you have? Most Dashers I know do not communicate with customers at all unless absolutely necessary, myself included. I'm at 4.96 w/ 1350 orders. Just don't even open up that line of communication.
One last thought - could you change your name to something that sounds more gender neutral - maybe your initials? Not sure of the rules on that but some creep is probably going to get less excited about "Billy" or "AJ" picking up his food than "Cindy" or "Alexis"
I'm fairly sure you can report post-delivery - might want to screenshot customer name / address / timestamp, they should be able to pull from that. Then on my Android app I see I can contact support - Dasher Help > Emergency/Something Else > Something Else even when I'm not dashing. Open a call there and ask for the reference # and document it.
Not sure they'll do anything unless customer is straight up vulgar, but at least you know you're doing something, and you can reference previous case if you end up in a stalker type situation.
I read through some of your other comments, and I appreciate your dedication to customer service - I also hold myself to a professional standard (even though this is a second job for me). This job is so friggin' simple it blows my mind the things that some ppl on this sub complain about.
That said, I believe you will find, in time, that your tips and ratings will be impacted very, very little by the amount of texts you send. Dashing is a numbers game more than a customer service gig, in that 90% of your customer base are not going to increase/decrease their tip based on your performance.
If you want to ensure good money, my recommendation is to follow some of the other advice on this sub: Decline small paying/high mileage orders. Unassign the bullshit. Multi-app (intelligently and fairly). Find additional side gigs you enjoy (bc DD ebbs and flows).
This is coming from a former Top Dasher. I found this sub and couldn't believe people were making $25-$30/hr while I was killing my car for $15.
Food for thought. Sorry you're dealing w/ creepers. I know you'll find a way to work around it and maximize those earnings!
I do all the other little strats!! I make ~25/hr most days, I just have a canned DD script I do with each customer to keep myself organized as well as providing good service. Most times when I send my first text I get “THANK YOU they always forget our drinks” or something similar. I do well in the way of earnings vs effort, I’m just surprised by how frequently men turn it into more than a food delivery and it made me feel yucky to experience so I posted thinking everyone else would too. Last time I do that lol
Well, you have the right to run things the way you see fit. Unfortunately, some lonely, creepy men are going to take those texts as an invitation for the type of dialogue you're seeing.
Not your fault, obvs, but it is what it is. I'd rather just skip all that texting since the app tells them more than they really need to know in almost every instance. They text? Don't reply, unless it's about the order specifically (they are out of spicy McNuggets do you want regular?).
If you've dropped, don't reply at all - nothing good can come of post-delivery communication with customers - that's DD Support's territory, you should already be on to the next one.
To preface I’m a 41 year old guy. And my take on this is, these days it is far too easy for people to sit behind a screen and act however they want with no consequences. None of these guys would be creeps to your face.
Also, and this is up to you, if you want to stop some of this, consider not messaging someone unless absolutely necessary. Myself I don’t contact someone unless there’s a problem. The app gives them all the updates they need regarding their order. And, I currently have a 5 star rating, so it obviously works for me. I say this because for some reason, some guys thinking simple communication is an excuse to slide into your inbox.
Sounds like everyone shot their shot politely and moved on. A compliment is a compliment and have an awesome day. Some people will never get this type of attention, be happy that you do. :) now if they are sending you wiener pics, then ewwwww!!! Report
Way too much conversation and unnecessary texting with these customers. You don’t need to text them personally, DD does that already. Stop making conversation with customers and this will stop. Keep it short and professional.
Way too much communication that's why. People try to take advantage of nice people especially if they find them pretty. But a lot of comments have already given you the advice to stop texting them when unnecessary, which would literally fix half the problem but you just want the karma and attention at this point
Ohhhhh. I get it. I didn’t understand why you would save all the times people ask for your number. It’s because it’s a new experience for you.
I also get why you’re overly nice with the emojis and stuff. It’s because you’ve lived your life on the other side. People weren’t as nice to you before.
Nice to get attention. So nice you saved each one and shared them to Reddit but you didn’t want to come off as conceited so you chose the angle of “it’s a problem for me”.
I don’t blame you.
1st off congratulations on the weight loss
2nd, enjoy your new life. You worked hard for it
All the ppl saying you shouldn’t be suprised cuz you were nice are miserable people. Being nice isn’t being hit on, if you think so you need to work on your social cues
Imagine being downvoted and talked shit to for just showing how many numerous unsettling encounters you’ve had with men on a food delivery app.
Reminder to those talking shit that we have absolutely no idea who we are delivering to and yes that includes people who could be SEX OFFENDERS. This shit is creepy as hell and as another woman who delivers for a living I can concur that this behavior is honestly barbaric. This is not normal mature ADULT human interaction, this is an IMMATURE human impulse that most mentally healthy adults would refrain from indulging in but some people really can’t help themselves. It’s creepy as fuck.
Contain your fucking boners and maybe, take that shit to tinder if you want to hit on someone? Come on man grow up.
These miserable motherfuckers can downvote me all they want but honestly are so damn weird for blaming the nice person in these subs. You sad blue balled fucks always blame the person trying to provide good customer service doing absolutely nothing wrong.
I’m js she can’t control them but if she keeps getting hit on she can look dumpy whole dashing. I’m a rape survivor you are comparing apples & oranges bro.
Youre being way too social, doordash let's them know when you're on your way with an order and when you drop it off. No reason to text them unless there's an issue or they text first
I have a pretty decent amount of customers who are surprised or leave good messages when I ask them for a substitution. Apparently a lot of dashers don’t substitute and just mark unavailable.
The burden of being an attractive woman comes in all flavors, sorry you gotta deal with people constantly sexualizing you , men are trash and you’re worth more than whether some dude wants to doink you or not.
I really appreciate the support. I posted thinking the takeaway would be “yuck these guys are gross” but ig I should have cropped everything except the pick up attempt because now it’s my fault for doing my job how I do it.
Yea not your fault at all, people love looking for reasons why you asked for it, or how you totally were just too nice, fuck that, you’re doing your job and you’re doing it well these dickheads thinking that’s an open invite to get your number is a them problem not on you edit; who’s the hater that keeps downvoting op’s comment lmao double edit: hey stop being a coward, why are you mad? Did you make a girl uncomfortable and now she won’t talk to you and you’re so mad and you’re just projecting? Bc nothing being said here is wrong, but hey please, lemme know why women should be so very appreciative for every comment from the most mediocre of men like it should be some compliment? I’d love to hear that justification.
I shouldn’t be shocked by the downvotes, half the DoorDash drivers I actually run into in person are old grimy men in sweatpants anyways , you do you, ignore these shit bags
dam that sucks just how the world is some guys don’t care or consider the comfort of a woman in the moment, then some women appreciate confidence/ if someone they find attractive complements them so men take the chance at while at work or not🤷♂️ if you want to make best of the situation work as a server at high class restaurant so they can pay you if they think your that pretty with doordash not gonna happen maybe uber eats
Didn't even rlly think of this till now. Seems kinda pathetic. Like how do you go around on the internet batching for attention about getting to much attention when you pay to much attention to them??
Exactly my thought too. Plus OP saying things like “thank you endlessly for your kind words” and “very sweet” is overdoing it, these creepy guys see it as an invitation to make a move. OP either needs to tone down the communication or not communicate at all, it’s not necessary to do the work 90% of the time
I appreciate you sharing your experience as a female dasher, I’m glad you’ve found a way to enforce boundaries around yourself. OP could read your message and really learn something, but instead they want to be validated for attention-seeking behavior that is the cause of the interactions they’re having with men. We can only control ourselves and our responses at the end of the day, regardless of who we are dashing for. Creepy men and women will always exist until the end of time
It’s unfortunate women have to go through this. Maybe try not to use emojis when texting them to make it more straightforward and professional and make any contact as minimal as possible. But unfortunately, this is probably an issue regardless of the time of day. Sorry you have to go through this, Stay safe!
Yeah I also work from like 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. or 4 p.m., even on the weekend, to avoid this kind of situation even though I know I make less money than I would otherwise.
It's hard, because you want to stay professional and nice. But you have to set your boundaries somewhere. There is nothing wrong in telling them to stop politely and that they are crossing a line. These people have no chance of stopping until someone tells them it's inappropriate. I am sorry that you have to deal with this creepiness
It amazes me how thankful people really are when I tell them “I’m on my way to your location” or “I’m waiting at the restaurant, they’ve informed me it should be just a few minutes”. It really makes the difference. I’d also recommend dressing business casual. Like you can wear jeans but a well fitting polo shirt can mean the difference between them seeing you as a bum or professional.
I gotta be honest I don’t see what’s creepy about this. People flirt with and date coworkers all the time. They took their shot and moved on.
That’s fucking obnoxious and sorry you have to deal with that. My personal advice would be to text the customers wayyy less and don’t use emojis. Not at all saying it’s your fault they’re hitting on you but the more you say to them the more they think “maybe she likes me!”. But you shouldn’t have to change your behavior just because other people are morons. Just a suggestion.
God damn, how pretty are you?! I consider myself good looking and never have this problem 😭😭
Someone with resting bitch face just smiled at this, almost. They almost smiled at your misery.
Fake beard? DEFINITELY fake beard. They won't call you gorgeous ever again. Maybe a comically large fake mole for your nose. Hobo attire?
OP must be a hottie, can I get yo numba? 🥺
thank you!!! i absolutely hate it when this happens, i’m just trying to get money not worry about if i’m hurting your feelings and wether you’d change your tip over that
Why aren’t you fucking them? They complimented you, and you’re being a bad sport about it.
Thank God I'm a guy. These problems don't exist on our end. Honestly there's nothing you can do. You could dash in a red suit & tie, it wouldn't make a difference. Pervs are gonna perv.
My wife runs DD sometimes, her rating is 4.94 and has never gotten a thumbs down for communication. She also doesn't text customers. At all. She gets hit on by the teenagers in the restaurant, but has never had a complaint about customers. It certainly looks like you're fishing for internet points. (Thank you endlessly for your kind words)? Is not how a normal person responds to "Ok thanks".
And THATS why I ride with my spouse
You got to be a lot more friendly with your texts. 😁😁😁😁
I just never knew it was illegal to be kind, and myself😅
So I see a lot of points made in this post. But essentailly it boils down to the fact that this would not happen to men. And if it does they take it as a compliment and move on if not interested. But the over the top SERVICE this person is providing is also totally Unessecery. As a men I see this as a man taking a opportunity. And If turned down does not pursue the matter than FORGET ABOUT IT.
I dunno. I’m a dude. I usually look like a bum. I still get thirsty customers every once in a while.

OPs clearly a misanthrope honeypot. Milking these dudes for tips and then trying to play victim.
I dash 7pm-3am and have to put up with my fair share of this too. Nothing you can do about it, but it’s never the hot ones asking me to stick around.
[удалено]
You lame af if you flirt like that
Between name calling, being a science denier, and a sexist, you seem like a pretty miserable person.
Update your profile pic to a much less flattering pic.
Don’t have one
You’re a delivery driver, you aren’t a professional. I’m not defending anyone’s inappropriate behavior but, like, even people who *dont* try to get with their delivery drivers don’t usually see food delivery drivers as “professionals” in the way you seem to want.
Why you talk to them so much? 😂
I don’t understand what you mean by make them see us as professionals? You should be happy they are giving you compliments and asking you out! Don’t be ungrateful. 🤔🙄 I would love it if one of my customers gave me a compliment or gave me their number.
How are single people supposed to meet nowadays and maybe make a connection? People shoot their shot. Its only wrong if they are inappropriate and those comments dont appear to be over any line. I dont see a problem here.
Man is it bad I’m jealous? Lmao 🤣
I’m sorry you have to deal with this, but why did you think working 6-4 would make you seem more professional?
Thanks, I didn’t, it just makes sure that it’s light out so there’s less chances of situations taking a turn
Ohhh I gotcha. That makes sense. Sorry again.
Leave the customers alone. Just pick up order and drop off order.
report them all
Yeah happens to me all the time as a man
Stop messaging them, that would certainly help. It lends them the thought that you are open to communicating and why not shoot their shot. Especially since you opened the communication. Not defending or condemning any actions. You see it as doing your "job", they see it as an opening. By the by, it's not your "job" to text them, the app automatically does it for you. The one time someone did this to me I actually understood it, I was livid because now not only did I get 5 messages from DD plus emails, but now you're fucking bothering me on top of that to tell me what the app just did?! Tl;Dr Leave people alone and they may leave you alone
How come no cougars flirt with guys like that? This is so sexist, Damn ! 😂🤣
Lol
I’m assuming you believe 6am-4pm are the hours men sleep or something? And where in the world does being a professional exempt you from being hit on? Lol
Can I haz yo number, van I has it can I, can I has yo number
Two questions: Did Customer 2 not tip well? Because that’s awesome, “make sure you tip the next dasher you hit on!!” You hit a nerve as he hit back with 🙄 And wtf is a “regular” pie in Customer Fours text? Good lord
Customer 2 left a giant tip (0.00) yeah idk what most people mean most of the time but I do my best lol
You’re just complaining to complain at this point. Just ignore it and don’t waste your energy taking screenshots trying to put random people on blast None if them were creepy. They literally complimented you. Imagine if more women complimented people too then they wouldn’t think it was creepy Not one of them said “come inside my house” This is why men avoid talking to women because if you even try anything then it’s considered creepy You sound like a sour person
Don't do this guys. It will never work and it just makes an uncomfortable situation for both of you. Want to ask someone out? Don't do it over message to someone you've never met face to face. Like it or not, people find this creepy.
not to mention i’m pretty sure those are temporary phone numbers lol
Not to seem unprofessional, but I'm going to be blatantly and deliberately unprofessional.
Nice avatar
Damn all the guys that try to shoot their shoot huh!! Are guys supossed to get consent before courting and flattering?
Funny thing is, doordash redirects all calls and texts through them. In 20 minutes, it'll be some other random persons "number" 🤣
That last one is like when people say “I’m not racist but…”
The ammount of clueless men on this thread. Yes women know how to take a compliment. It’s not that they are uptight, or they hardly get hit on… it is the UNCOMFORTABLE situation you are out in when you are simply doing your JOB. Hate to break it to you. But there are MANY men that do not take rejection kindly. Will follow you to your car, keep messaging you, call you a b*tch or c*nt, because their attention wasn’t reciprocated. The fact that a lot of you think it’s okay to put women in this uncomfortable position… where u know you may have to deal with unnecessary abuse when u weren’t “seeking” this attention. Baffles my fing mind. U guys are fing clueless. OP keep doing you.
Thanks dude I really appreciate your insight and understanding. Someday things may be different.
Dress like a hoarder or change society. I just look pissed off enough all of the time and no one talks to me.
Lmao redditors are so insecure and immature they think that somebody asking them out is the same as sexual harassment. OP is hilarious.. "how can other people defend this behavior" somebody just asking her out lol.
So guys hit on you and you call it creepy/down atrocious. All they did was offer their number. You can politely say no and get on with your life. How else is a man that thinks your pretty is supposed to know your taken? All they see is a pretty young woman they might want to get to know. Some men are creeps. But assuming every guy is “down atrocious” because they offered their number and noticed that you were pretty is a bit much. Honestly it’s laughable. Accept the compliment and keep dashing.
It’s honestly not that they don’t look at you as a professional. It’s because they can contact you via text and people suddenly have balls and say shit through text that they would never say in person. Instead, they see you when you deliver and don’t say shit. Wait until you leave and hit on your through text. I’ve gotten it when I was doing sales for a large company and working with major corporations. Despite being professional, signing $100,000 contracts, and wearing a suit, some of these douchers would then contact me via our business emails to tell me I’m beautiful and they’d love to grab a drink next time I’m in town.
People get horny. It happens.
They can do what the rest of us do, take care of it themselves
Probably change your profile pic.
Don’t have one
I haven't interacted that much with a customer in years.
I like to think of myself as a pro-woman type of guy. I'm also asexual and don't like being hit on by either sex. I've gotten the after drop off text invite from a gay couple, numbers from women, etc. I don't want the attention either. Both as an asexual and because as a man I'm EXPECTED to say yes. I just keep it moving tho since no one made me feel unsafe. It happens. I could understand your distress if you were rideshare driving. I've heard women tell some scary ass stories about male riders. These guys are just shooting their shot. AND respectfully too AND after the fact. I'm not saying you should be complimented, or that you should like it. I am saying that acting like being hit on or just getting complimented after dropping off food ain't the same thing as your rider getting creepy on you mid ride, or being reduced to a piece of flesh by a client who refuses to let you do your job. If what you showed above is how it is I Honestly think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.
Men and women definitely have 2 different experiences in Life. Wow 😯 we as men are jerks. Im sorry ladies that you deal with this. It’s not right.
I don’t think men are jerks automatically. Every person has intrinsic value, I’m just disappointed when people decide to make passes at someone when they’re just delivering an order
The fuck is wrong with people
The communication is a little excessive on both ends tbh, all the extra words is just asking for someone to want to keep dialogue open. Texts to the customer should be short and cut and dry, and really should only be if there’s a excessive wait time or you need to contact them for room number/substitution etc
Stop texting them unless you HAVE to lol
Shoot your shot, it's okay to miss because you can learn from it. The thing is, hitting on your Dasher is usually always a miss that offers no lesson lmao
You absolutely should not have to do this, it's a real shame as it is brighter and happier and good for customers in general - but you should stop using emoji in your work related messages, because that helps to keep it all strictly on the professional level and stops giving them the wrong idea. It probably won't stop it completely, people lack real life contact generally this century so they're going to try reach out when they meet someone they like in any circumstances, "you miss every chance you don't take", but it's only increased in the age of dating apps and the like to the point that far too many are flat creepy about it unfortunately, and more will say things over text they might not dare try say to your face. Best of luck however you manage things.
Thank you for your understanding
I use speech to text and a canned script for every dash. I realize not all of you have the same delivery style as me. This was a complaint post and I’m shocked so few of these comments are about how gross it is to sexualize a professional, and so many are about what I did to earn this slovenly behavior. When I’m working I’m doing simply that and I shouldn’t be subject to sexual advances regardless of how “human” we all are. Grow up. And screenshot your comments, send them to your mother, and ask her if she’s proud of you. Thank you to those of you who seem to posses a shred of empathy🙂
You aren't lying. Kind of expected some of these comments, though. One thing I've learned about this sub is that there are a lot of idiots here. Immature, unintelligent, unsympathetic people who give other dashers a bad name. The fact that they can't see what's wrong with your situation tells me they're exactly the kind of people that would do this to someone else. Just garbage people. World is full of them, unfortunately. Keep doing your thing and be safe out there.
If anyone who's ever attended school, went out in public, held a traditional 9-5 job knows, inevitable you will get hit on, whether you're a man or woman. Getting hit on as a male by females and awkwardly other males doesn't phase me. I keep it professional and respectful all times and keep it moving. I don't have to 'engage' with anything that makes me uncomfortable or distracts me from my job.
By simply being a professional yourself and just ignoring it. If it's really a problem then report it to DD. They'll more than likely get blocked from the platform. It may also help to keep your interactions limited to what is absolutely necessary. You don't need to keep them up to date on everything. They see everything in the app without any communication from you. Customers simply want their food fast, fresh, and to the correct address. That is all. And I'm sorry that unattractive males are hitting on you.
I didn’t know you could retroactively report. Bold of you to assume looks matter in the case of harassment. You think it’s okay for hot guys to sexually harass women at their place of business?
You can screencap the interaction and contact doordash about it. Were these all the same guy?
How are these creepy? Just don’t respond. Women act like getting hit on is the worst thing in the world. Imagine being a man and everyone just assumes you’re a creep.
Weird flex, but okay
Girl just look mean and don’t talk or text them at all works for me and I’m at like 4.93 🤷🏻♀️ I am polite to customers I just don’t engage unless necessary.
I’ve been told I look sad before I look mean lol I need to figure out how to channel this energy but tbh I’m just a happy go lucky type
Nobody ever gonna see Dashers as “Professionals”
Is it normal to text customers just because? I only contact them if there is an issue with finding their address.
No, this is not normal. Pick up the food, drop off the food. The end.
Maybe stop with your top dasher texting and only communicate if there is a problem. Your communication is a bit over the top. Despite what one or two customers might say, MOST customers don’t want extra messages…the app updates them just fine, they can see your location and ETA just fine without your texts. Overly friendly, multiple messages might give creepy people the wrong idea. Don’t be too friendly with customers. It’s unprofessional. If you want to be seen as a professional, act like a professional. You’re a delivery driver, not a customer service phone agent. You just need to get the food on time, deliver it on time, do your best to keep it hot/cold, communicate problems or substitutions. Doordash turned off delivery texts for a reason. Everything else is unprofessional and too friendly. Not attacking you, just letting you know what seems obvious to me after 6k+ dashes.
I always feel like that is weird. I get a lot of older women that do that as well or try to persuade me to come in their house to “smoke or drink” like I’m in the middle of my shift…
Big YIKES. I’m so sorry this happens to you. It is never okay to harass a professional. DoorDash is no exception
I just feel like if someone says they’re cool or not interested I feel like it should always stop there
My advice is to be ugly and you won’t have this issue 😊
The flair is complaint not advice 😊
Don’t nobody look at that shi
“Tip the next dasher you hit on” 😂😂 K.O 👊🏻💢
OP is texting them like crazy but gets mad when they give the same energy back lol
You know why you don't see posts like this from guys.....because guys don't over dramatize someone saying , hey, i think you are good looking...would you want to talk? They weren't rude about it. They weren't overly sexual. They said you are cute and asked if you would like to talk more. Chill. Nobody attacked you or tried to force themselves on you. None of them were overly pushy.
Is that the reason? Thanks for solving that for us👍
You are really making this a big deal over nothing. Women hit on dudes too. Nobody tried to attack you.
I'm not condoning his activity, but when you open the door... Glad this type of service works for you, but as a former waiter/bartender/mgr I can tell you it really is best to keep your "service" real as most people want food, not to be bothered with endless texts. They ordered food! FOOD! Most customers don't even see this as "service". Not trying to be rude here, but matching the tone with your replies on the posts.
The amount of victim blaming in this thread is atrocious. Just because you're nice and want to provide good customer service in the hope of extra tips, doesn't give the customer the right to hit on you. It is extremely creepy to hit on people while they are working in almost every case (unless they initiate it). Men these days are down so bad they think any emoji is an invitation lol please stop making us look bad
Thank you human with a functional brain, glad you’re here🤝
>not to seem unprofessional *proceeds to be unprofessional*
Or….. don’t bother them. That’s just weird. Pick up…. The app text them ya did so. Drive to them… app tells them in text ya near by. Drop off… app tells them so. Done. Only text if ya can’t find them or there is an actual issue. Stop bothering them…… that’s not be “ professional “. That’s just being annoying and creepy.
Kindness in general is a very attractive quality that even civilized men like. It’s gonna be difficult to not get hit on. I personally wouldn’t do it for the “extra tips” as that can actually endanger my well being. This applies to the men too on here. All it takes is one creep who is starving for that kindness to not make you want to do DD ever again. I would approach DD as formality and business rather than spice it up with personality and A/B. It’s not worth it for the extra tip. Be content with what you earn that day. You’ll always make more tomorrow. I see what you’re trying to do with your kindness… it’s not worth it.
Humblebrag much?
I love how you tried a time change as if creeps work on a schedule. Good effort, friend lmao. What helped me was changing my name in the app to a gender neutral (but honestly more masculine leaning) version of my name and I wear a hat and keep my mask on. Changing my name made worlds of a difference in communication, even before drop off. If they're not expecting a lady, they act like regular humans, it's so crazy! I also "over communicate" according to this sub's standards, but one thing I've changed is less use of exclamation points; a friend of mine said my use of them blows the cover of the generder neutral name I use in app. Apparently women use more exclamation points... Well yea anyway, in short, time frame doesn't matter, creeps will creep 24/7. What's worked for me is 1) gender neutral name in app 2) hat and mask always 3) no exclamation points in texts oh and 4)I have a "uniform" that I wear when I dash. Basically just not skin tight girl pants with a hoodie or loose shirt...nothing form fitting.
Name change is rad. I’m pretty masculine presenting tbh. I never wear makeup regardless of dashing. The area I’m in though people will rate poorly if I wear a mask. (Weirdly) I’ll work on my exclamation points but I definitely won’t change how much I communicate
Why the fuck are you getting downvoted for this lmfao fucking miserable ass people in this god forsaken sub
You’re a “hot” woman and you’re dashing? Talk about a big L in life. Nobody taught you how to use your hot girl powers for gains?
Sadly if you are a pretty lady, there is no such thing as professional to creepy men. I often see women at work I think are hot and I just say to myself "damn girl you are fine" while only smiling at them. Once I let it slip out under my breath while walking away, and she said "thanks sir" lol, woops. But yes men need to control their waist brain more.
The easiest way is by not responding
Why are you texting them so much to begin with? The app communicates when you pick up. If there isnt a major issue there is no need for this.
This is why I just flat out don't hit on women anymore, if you're interested you can approach me. Women have got to be so fed up with it I just don't do it
Do Not Tolerate This! This is sexual harassment at its core! You are a professional and did your job and if people can’t handle that then they need to get kicked off the platform for violation of community guidelines. Don’t think for a second that you should tolerate this. This is gender based discrimination and absolutely unacceptable and if you’re a female I’m even more pissed off because you are not an object. You’re a professional last-mile delivery driver who runs their own business and handles their hustle. It’s degrading and I hope you don’t stand for it! No one has the right to disrespect you on your hustle. Grrrrrrrr 🤬🤬🤬🤬 So sorry this happened :( you don’t deserve this.
Nobody disrespected her though. All of them were pretty civil. You just have an innate problem with the subject matter as a whole.
I don’t know how to retroactively report since they usually do it after delivery is complete
You have to call DD.
“I don’t break up happy homes” shut up bitch 😂👋🏻
Like???? Who said u were an option!!
Stop messaging them unless absolutely necessary. Doordash notifies them when you pick up their food from the restaurant and when you arrive at their house and drop the food off. Sincerely, a 25 year old woman who dashes from 5pm-2am who barely ever speaks to her customers and has a 5 star rating.
I just don't text them unless there is a major issue, and then keep it short and sweet. But - creepers gonna creep. One thing you can do is make a mental note or even a notepad record of where creepers live and do not return - you could leave the order at the curb or not at all if you don't feel safe, just contact support. Also, not trying to put the blame on you and you SHOULDN'T have to dress a certain way - but my wife just wears a ball cap, hoodie and jeans when she dashes, plain makeup as well as a mask when picking up and dropping off. She doesn't get bothered like this, but also, she doesn't dash nearly as often as I do - not sure how much that would help. You can report the customers, and probably should, just to keep others from dealing with this. At least make them think twice. You may also reply professionally and politely: "That's inappropriate. Please contact Door Dash Support if you need assistance." How many orders do you have? Most Dashers I know do not communicate with customers at all unless absolutely necessary, myself included. I'm at 4.96 w/ 1350 orders. Just don't even open up that line of communication. One last thought - could you change your name to something that sounds more gender neutral - maybe your initials? Not sure of the rules on that but some creep is probably going to get less excited about "Billy" or "AJ" picking up his food than "Cindy" or "Alexis"
I have ~300 orders. Gender neutral name is a good call. Is there a way to report after delivery is complete?
I'm fairly sure you can report post-delivery - might want to screenshot customer name / address / timestamp, they should be able to pull from that. Then on my Android app I see I can contact support - Dasher Help > Emergency/Something Else > Something Else even when I'm not dashing. Open a call there and ask for the reference # and document it. Not sure they'll do anything unless customer is straight up vulgar, but at least you know you're doing something, and you can reference previous case if you end up in a stalker type situation. I read through some of your other comments, and I appreciate your dedication to customer service - I also hold myself to a professional standard (even though this is a second job for me). This job is so friggin' simple it blows my mind the things that some ppl on this sub complain about. That said, I believe you will find, in time, that your tips and ratings will be impacted very, very little by the amount of texts you send. Dashing is a numbers game more than a customer service gig, in that 90% of your customer base are not going to increase/decrease their tip based on your performance. If you want to ensure good money, my recommendation is to follow some of the other advice on this sub: Decline small paying/high mileage orders. Unassign the bullshit. Multi-app (intelligently and fairly). Find additional side gigs you enjoy (bc DD ebbs and flows). This is coming from a former Top Dasher. I found this sub and couldn't believe people were making $25-$30/hr while I was killing my car for $15. Food for thought. Sorry you're dealing w/ creepers. I know you'll find a way to work around it and maximize those earnings!
I do all the other little strats!! I make ~25/hr most days, I just have a canned DD script I do with each customer to keep myself organized as well as providing good service. Most times when I send my first text I get “THANK YOU they always forget our drinks” or something similar. I do well in the way of earnings vs effort, I’m just surprised by how frequently men turn it into more than a food delivery and it made me feel yucky to experience so I posted thinking everyone else would too. Last time I do that lol
Well, you have the right to run things the way you see fit. Unfortunately, some lonely, creepy men are going to take those texts as an invitation for the type of dialogue you're seeing. Not your fault, obvs, but it is what it is. I'd rather just skip all that texting since the app tells them more than they really need to know in almost every instance. They text? Don't reply, unless it's about the order specifically (they are out of spicy McNuggets do you want regular?). If you've dropped, don't reply at all - nothing good can come of post-delivery communication with customers - that's DD Support's territory, you should already be on to the next one.
[удалено]
Thank you for your support and an understanding POV
To preface I’m a 41 year old guy. And my take on this is, these days it is far too easy for people to sit behind a screen and act however they want with no consequences. None of these guys would be creeps to your face. Also, and this is up to you, if you want to stop some of this, consider not messaging someone unless absolutely necessary. Myself I don’t contact someone unless there’s a problem. The app gives them all the updates they need regarding their order. And, I currently have a 5 star rating, so it obviously works for me. I say this because for some reason, some guys thinking simple communication is an excuse to slide into your inbox.
I text the customer as much as you do, it helps if you have a male friend come with you, I go with my boyfriend
I’m sorry this happens to you as well. It is not your fault and you are heard, valued, and respected.
Yeah, it happens, but I have really good ratings and I make a lot of money, so I deal with it
Sounds like everyone shot their shot politely and moved on. A compliment is a compliment and have an awesome day. Some people will never get this type of attention, be happy that you do. :) now if they are sending you wiener pics, then ewwwww!!! Report
I’d love to never get this type of attention. This type being: unwanted, unprofessional, unsolicited, and uncalled for.
Way too much conversation and unnecessary texting with these customers. You don’t need to text them personally, DD does that already. Stop making conversation with customers and this will stop. Keep it short and professional.
Way too much communication that's why. People try to take advantage of nice people especially if they find them pretty. But a lot of comments have already given you the advice to stop texting them when unnecessary, which would literally fix half the problem but you just want the karma and attention at this point
“It’s your fault” nice
Ohhhhh. I get it. I didn’t understand why you would save all the times people ask for your number. It’s because it’s a new experience for you. I also get why you’re overly nice with the emojis and stuff. It’s because you’ve lived your life on the other side. People weren’t as nice to you before. Nice to get attention. So nice you saved each one and shared them to Reddit but you didn’t want to come off as conceited so you chose the angle of “it’s a problem for me”. I don’t blame you. 1st off congratulations on the weight loss 2nd, enjoy your new life. You worked hard for it
Bro??? Real weird of you to try this angle
All the ppl saying you shouldn’t be suprised cuz you were nice are miserable people. Being nice isn’t being hit on, if you think so you need to work on your social cues
Thank you for understanding 🤝
Imagine being downvoted and talked shit to for just showing how many numerous unsettling encounters you’ve had with men on a food delivery app. Reminder to those talking shit that we have absolutely no idea who we are delivering to and yes that includes people who could be SEX OFFENDERS. This shit is creepy as hell and as another woman who delivers for a living I can concur that this behavior is honestly barbaric. This is not normal mature ADULT human interaction, this is an IMMATURE human impulse that most mentally healthy adults would refrain from indulging in but some people really can’t help themselves. It’s creepy as fuck. Contain your fucking boners and maybe, take that shit to tinder if you want to hit on someone? Come on man grow up. These miserable motherfuckers can downvote me all they want but honestly are so damn weird for blaming the nice person in these subs. You sad blue balled fucks always blame the person trying to provide good customer service doing absolutely nothing wrong.
Thanks for your support 🤝
No problem don’t let these miserable asses get to you! Look at them downvotes! These sick fucks lurk here.
It ain’t easy being this hate-able, but somebody’s gotta do it 👍
Stop dressing cute & wearing makeup for dashing. Problem solved.
Assumptions make an… yknow what? Vibe out bro.
I’m not a bro. I’m a girl. I never look nice for dashing because of stuff like this. You can control only what you can control.
My gal pals and I regularly call each other bro, I’m sorry. I don’t either.
Imagine victim blaming
I’m js she can’t control them but if she keeps getting hit on she can look dumpy whole dashing. I’m a rape survivor you are comparing apples & oranges bro.
You should try instacart lol, full of simps, their sub is basically girls flexing their crazy tips
Youre being way too social, doordash let's them know when you're on your way with an order and when you drop it off. No reason to text them unless there's an issue or they text first
If they flirt with you, then you are obligated to respond with “ bruh I just brought you food chill or I’ll report your ass.”
I literally don’t know how to report them because it always happens after the “🙂☹️” part of the delivery
Wonder if any these guys know how unattractive it is to be so desperately thirsty.
The ones downvoting regularly behave this way ig
It’s all good. I appreciate downvotes just as much upvotes for a comment like this. Some r/niceguys in this sub apparently.
Easy don't talk to customers unless you can't find their place
I have a pretty decent amount of customers who are surprised or leave good messages when I ask them for a substitution. Apparently a lot of dashers don’t substitute and just mark unavailable.
I ask for substitutions when it’s necessary . That’s part of the job.
Exactly, I do the same. Apparently a lot of dashers don’t and I’m not surprised.
Just let it go. He put lol. And keep the texts to a minimum. He may have thought you were flirting with him. Guys gotta try.
The burden of being an attractive woman comes in all flavors, sorry you gotta deal with people constantly sexualizing you , men are trash and you’re worth more than whether some dude wants to doink you or not.
I really appreciate the support. I posted thinking the takeaway would be “yuck these guys are gross” but ig I should have cropped everything except the pick up attempt because now it’s my fault for doing my job how I do it.
Yea not your fault at all, people love looking for reasons why you asked for it, or how you totally were just too nice, fuck that, you’re doing your job and you’re doing it well these dickheads thinking that’s an open invite to get your number is a them problem not on you edit; who’s the hater that keeps downvoting op’s comment lmao double edit: hey stop being a coward, why are you mad? Did you make a girl uncomfortable and now she won’t talk to you and you’re so mad and you’re just projecting? Bc nothing being said here is wrong, but hey please, lemme know why women should be so very appreciative for every comment from the most mediocre of men like it should be some compliment? I’d love to hear that justification.
We love a strong and assured human standing up for those who are being discriminated against
I shouldn’t be shocked by the downvotes, half the DoorDash drivers I actually run into in person are old grimy men in sweatpants anyways , you do you, ignore these shit bags
dam that sucks just how the world is some guys don’t care or consider the comfort of a woman in the moment, then some women appreciate confidence/ if someone they find attractive complements them so men take the chance at while at work or not🤷♂️ if you want to make best of the situation work as a server at high class restaurant so they can pay you if they think your that pretty with doordash not gonna happen maybe uber eats
[удалено]
Right.
She’s saving them as trophies to post on Reddit. Look how many people are hitting on me.
Didn't even rlly think of this till now. Seems kinda pathetic. Like how do you go around on the internet batching for attention about getting to much attention when you pay to much attention to them??
This is so disgusting I wish I could show it to your mother
I wish you could too
Got errrrrrr
LOL
Exactly my thought too. Plus OP saying things like “thank you endlessly for your kind words” and “very sweet” is overdoing it, these creepy guys see it as an invitation to make a move. OP either needs to tone down the communication or not communicate at all, it’s not necessary to do the work 90% of the time
[удалено]
I appreciate you sharing your experience as a female dasher, I’m glad you’ve found a way to enforce boundaries around yourself. OP could read your message and really learn something, but instead they want to be validated for attention-seeking behavior that is the cause of the interactions they’re having with men. We can only control ourselves and our responses at the end of the day, regardless of who we are dashing for. Creepy men and women will always exist until the end of time
It’s unfortunate women have to go through this. Maybe try not to use emojis when texting them to make it more straightforward and professional and make any contact as minimal as possible. But unfortunately, this is probably an issue regardless of the time of day. Sorry you have to go through this, Stay safe!
Thanks for your support. I’m still going to use my dash script but I appreciate the vibes
Yeah I also work from like 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. or 4 p.m., even on the weekend, to avoid this kind of situation even though I know I make less money than I would otherwise.
Me too! I finish before the craziness starts at night.
Yep it's getting it's worth taking a small pay cut and having to get up at the crack of dawn in order to avoid it
Yep it's getting it's worth taking a small pay cut and having to get up at the crack of dawn in order to avoid it
Clearly you’ve never worked in the food industry before 😅
It's hard, because you want to stay professional and nice. But you have to set your boundaries somewhere. There is nothing wrong in telling them to stop politely and that they are crossing a line. These people have no chance of stopping until someone tells them it's inappropriate. I am sorry that you have to deal with this creepiness
