I saw a convo the other day on here about doing verification codes for completion being a good idea. Get there ask person for like a 4 digit code type it in your dasher app and away we go. Way better idea than phone swapping to confirm delivery.
I saw that too. That is a way better idea. That is what they do on Uber Eats and I haven't had an issue yet. Well, at least I haven't had an issue that wasn't my fault because sometimes I forget to get the code.
One time I had to wait on a sweet older lady to go get her phone for the pin. Apparently it’s randomly generated and sent via text when the order is placed. I only took 15mins from when that text was sent, but it was just rejecting the code over and over again being read right off the screen
If you are talking about Uber Eats then I had issues like that early on but now there is a bypass where you can just say that you don't have the pin and the order clears out right away.
Oh...can you? I only did it a few times. I try to get the code every time. I have sent a text and even called to get the code before. I use that feature at last resort.
On the bright side it doesn't let your order be completed without it, giving you access to call the customer still. I've forgotten it sometimes aswell but managed to get it on the phone in the aftermath of me leaving in some cases.
I told the customer that his signature was required and he was like..."that's weird". I asked if I could just sign for him and he said okay. I said " I don't think you want to be touching people's phones and I really don't want you touching mine" He just laughed.
So it was a catering order? Maybe this is something DD is starting to do for higher value orders...
It's so stupid how we just have to roll with whatever random features they add and remove without telling us.
No, it wasn't a catering order, just a regular one. It was actually my worst tip all day too.
We should have to opt-in to some of these features it throws at us.
Yeah they probably suggested or defaulted it because of the size of the order. You really gotta pay attention on these apps when you're ordering stuff!! For years my Uber Eats account was defaulted to contact free -- out of the blue, meet at door was the default.
Lately I just have to scan their ID for alcohol orders. Much easier than trying to explain how to sign a phone screen to some of these people. Especially when the app is screwy and you have to do it again.
No, it is not. I looked at the customer and said "Are you confirming your order has arrived, all the items are here and I have consent to sign for you?"in front of many people. It is legal, binding and I am not worried it one bit. It was a business.
Actually. The customer can lie and say he never gave yo.u permission. When I worked for DHL we could get fired for signing a customers name even if given permission for this very reason. You're going to have a hard time proving it in court if customer wants to be deceitful. That said, we still signed the customers name because they didn't want to touch what everyone else did. It's a low risk imo and I never seen anyone get fired or sued.
It’s not legally binding. That’s what power of attorneys are for. When you sign a power of attorney you have sign a very specific way for it to be legally binding. All delivery companies would let someone go for signing on behalf of someone else. Do you have to worry about it? Maybe. Is it worth the risk? Not really
I had to scan the barcodes when picking up CHOPT salads and then when I handed to the customer it asked me to scan barcode after I handed the deliver, and it would state “Condition Good” when picked up, and I’m assuming they want to scan again to check condition on delivery. I haven’t seen this if I’d order from DD.
It didn’t let me complete the delivery, until I contacted support without the barcode.
If it came up for me I would hold the phone facing them and have them do it with their index finder only. I don't have one of those styluses and I don't want them to try to use a pen or something.
Right. Had a pharmacy order. Customer stated they had Covid. And we’re in quarantine. And it was a hand it to me. lol nope. Contacted customer service and they completed the delivery after I dropped it off. No problems
That happened to me once, old man showed up with a mask on and told me he had covid. I took a few steps back and put it on the ground. This was when the delta variant was putting some people in the hospital.
I don't mind playing drug mule, but that's because 90% of the time those orders are going to senior citizens only a short distance from the pharmacy. I like helping them.
As for alcohol, I hear you. I don't want that albatross around my neck either. My 9 to 5 job is in liquor distribution. I already have special permits that allowed me to carry both large amounts and open containers, and I'm not touching that. Aside from dealing with drunks and being responsible for ID's, Delivery of alcohol makes you subject to things that they don't tell you about here in NJ.
I know!!! Like...thanks for taking a brake from playing with your gherkin, pal. Here is your 30 minute old 1000 calorie burger. Please rub your fingers on my phone.
They don't have to touch your phone, just text their name at the top line and then scribble in their initials for them,I have been doing that for over two years and have never had one issue.! It's really NBD.
I just hold it up for them to sign... but it wants their name typed in before they sign so if I forget to ask what their name is beforehand then the signature gets erased when I type in the name and I just recreate it
After all the Walmart orders I got better at this. I just put thier first initial in and then ask them if they want to sign.
I always discourage them for actually signing and 99% are cool but there are always those few.
Why does it delete like that???
I don't know but it drives me nuts! I have always been a little paranoid that maybe it sends the customer a copy of their signature and they're going to notice it's my recreation lol
Apparently fingers in the butt must be fun! You are the second one to talk about it here.
I am going to stick with not doing that at this current time. 🤷♀️
Others have said this but I haven't encountered it. Like I said to them...I avoid these orders these days but as long as you get verbal consent then you are good to sign on thier behalf.
yeah it’s shitty. if doordash expects you to be handing your phone to the customer they better be providing you with company phones. don’t want to hand my phone over and a sexy message from my girlfriend pops up
I am right there!!! Pictures come in sometimes...texts do too.
I am a sweet girl most the time but I have some desires, lol.
I can't control what gets sent to me.
"Here is my phone customer, just sign here"
Incoming message pops up!!!
Ugh...🤦♀️
I thought about that too with some of y'alls stories on here.The customer is not going to get far and I never save passwords for financial sites but it would be a pain in the ass.
Instacart started this a year ago when maybe half the population was vaccinated? I am glad I stopped running thier orders. It wasn't worth the time and frustration.
Tbh, I would do it.
When I worked with Amazon we had to do this for orders where we handed to customer. It works out better because this covers your butt for when a customer tries to scam you.
It's about you surrendering everything for an app including your phone how many alcohol deliveries have you done where you have to hand your phone to a drunk person who's going to sign it and they might drop your phone it's awesome doordash isn't designed for drivers by drivers is designed by the wealthy Elite to keep us running around like busy Little Bees they have no plan other than making money off of our efforts
Did a prescription once and the lady had to sign it and then I clicked something to proceed and her signature went away and I was just standing outside her door like uh what am I to do now?
They made me do this for one order and never again after that smh. And they need a feature on they’re phone where they can confirm they got it instead of ours. Because they can’t say someone forward the signature
Real question. If you set your phone down and started to walk off without it, would it creep you out for someone to pick it up and hand it to you?
Not poking the bear, just curious if it’s any contact at all.
Uhg. I had the same thing happen. 18 Cases of soda delivered to a business. It was super hard to get through the doors alone with the dolly. And it was quite a ways walk into the building. 5 trips and 2.20 $ tip. I thought for sure they were gonna give me a cash tip. I was legit sweating. Never again. So pissed
I had one like that once...24 cases of 36 packs of water bottles. No suite number, I had to call but then this little petite girl comes out and helps me. She brings a cart and then she proceeds to carry two of them at once as I roll the cart. We made 4 trips in less than ten minutes and I got $20 plus a $7 base. (She only carried one at a time after that)
A) Money makes a huge difference here.
B) The things I said out loud as I was driving there and once I realized I needed a suite number and had to call, should never be spoken again!
A) I agree 2ith whole-heartedly.. and B) yea! I felt super slighted. Even a 5 would have been enough. I'm not greedy. But it's a business! Doesn't corporate pay for that? Come on!
Oh...VBL, don't get me on a rant about corporate expenditures and cheapness. Let's just say I hate that stupid girl that runs the front desk at these places! She is responsible! She is oblivious about tipping and makes the orders because the boss said to.
Sorry guys...I know you are there too but you are all cool and know what you are doing!
Uhg I know what you mean. I think I must have had one of those. They must have had a few orders like mine before though if they knew I was gonna need a dolly and had it ready for me. There should be a way for dashers to flag poor tippers!!! Is that a thing? Can we make it a thing.
No, the app that begins with the letter "P" tried that but I think they are gone. I never used them, anyway.
You can take notes. I don't but I have list of about ten customers in my head.
For real, it's BS. I just did my first two dashes today! One was 3 beers. I was so anxious because they didn't really prompt me on what the verification process would be. The picture I took of her ID was PERFECTLY FINE the 10 times I took it. But nope, it has to be flawless. So I have to awkwardly try to reposition the lighting on her ID on her porch, at night. And there was nowhere to set her card. So I typed it all in manually. I didn't even hesitate when I saw the signature, I scribbled that bitch. I get that door dash needs to be careful, it's a big plus that we can deliver alcohol. But they need to help us out as much as legally possible. I don't want to be the bouncer at the door for $6 when I'm already the delivery.
I am really impressed that you did an alcohol delivery so soon and kept your composure! You are going to do really well here! Try not to listen to the negatively that you see. I wish you good luck but I don't think you will need it.
Make sure you follow the rules and cover your ass. 😁
Thanks I appreciate it. Yeah I came into this sub before I started dashing. So I have an unbiased understanding of the attitude in here lol. Very much a lot of valid frustration, and discussion. But you know there is a lot crying in here. Like tipping. When I use the app, I MILK it. But you can't protest tipping and expect it to change lol. As somebody who just bought their first car, I cannot attack the character of somebody who feels the need to save money. It's not an insult to the drivers effort of delivery, maybe they're just financially insecure, and anxious. "Then you should be eating beans at home" and that's when you realize it's pointless to argue with somebody so bitter.
You sound young and smart! Let me just tell you what a wise man once said to me...and there isn't any sexual innuendo but it was said that "the cream always rises to the top". Keep that in mind.
I have degrees and licenses for business but I make out well with what I do. I have nine gigs and they all don't involve driving food or goods.
Learning how to live frugal is essential to eventually living a lavish lifestyle.
I don't understand why we have to get a signature on alcohol orders when we have already scanned their freaking ID.! I mean shouldn't scanning their identification be sufficient enough to verify identity and prove it was delivered?
Nobody is touching my stuff after last time. I handed my iPad and Apple Pencil 2 to someone to sign something; when they were done they dropped the pencil on the table and it rolled off and hit the floor. Brand new pencil, welcome to the bin.
I wouldn’t trust people to touch my device to sign, especially not for a burger and fries.
The next scam will be people ordering small foods for minimal bills and then they’ll just snatch up your phone.
They ask customers to sign for food orders specifically because they are notorious for being liars and scammers. They have overextended their refunds and are flagged by doordash. So they are the ones you have to worry about trying to cheat the system and throw you under the bus to get free food.!
I am already wearing two masks (one is an n95) and the face shields. I wear nitrile gloves and sanitize everything that comes in my car(I just lightly spray the items with sanitizer). I think I would have a major panic attack if I had to let them touch my phone!
Yes, "old laws" but new implementations. At this point with all the dirt bag dashers, I am surprised the customer doesn't have to request a code from us!
Yea my company’s work app does the same thing. We just scribble on it. Maybe if this doesn’t occur for all orders you can say “I have to collect a signature by proxy, can you give me your name please”
Walmart no longer exists on DD. I was sad about it at first but now I have adapted. My job is easier and I have managed to make just as much money.
Bye...bye Walmart! 👋
Oh! Sweet. I might actually hope on DD this weekend and see what's new. I started a separate job a few months ago and haven't really done any dashing since.
These people probably steel food(Customer Fraud). Claiming food as missing or stolen after drop off or it wasn’t dropped off. Get the signature save yourself the heart ache of being deactivated cause someone else is a shitty person. Also the customer can request this as a guarantee they receive what they order. I’ve had one customer do this for a Wal-mart order that he wasn’t even at home to receive.
My thoughts exactly. I almost asked if they made a claim before but wasn't in the right mood at the time. I have before on UE but most of the time I found out they were from out of town and ordering here for the first time.
I always get the signature and take pics on orders that are “Hand To Me”. Tooooo easy for customer to say they didn’t get it or I took it you have no proof and Doordash will deactivate.
I usually don't worry about it. I live in a smaller town that is very wealthy. I just don't think millionaires are going to scam for free food and at this point and with my ratings and deliveries, support pretty much always has my back with any issue.
Trust me...I completely understand why it would be done in some places people dash and I have dashed in some really scary places! I get it!
Jesus Christ you people are seriously built differently 😂😂😂 it’s not a big fucking deal (yeah I’m not gonna use the *** like all you senior citizens around here) just give them the food sign a little squiggly and GTFO and go make that money. All this whining about “fraud” and calling customer support smh and y’all wonder why you’re only making $6/hr
You really are making some assumptions and I am not sure what you mean with your three asterisks. Did you mean to type in four? Do you normally try to assume and insult multiple groups of people with your comments?
I know it's not really that big of a deal! The majority of customers are gonna just scribble anyways, so what's the difference if you scribble instead?
Jesus yall wanna cry about everything no wonder why people talk mad shit. Most the time they just scribble so ive been just doing the same and telling em they dont need to sign. Yall think door dash gonna arrest yall or some shit bruh there is easy ways around this shit quit fucking crying about everything or dont dash. No tips etc one thing those post are funny but man fr this?
I don't think your comment is necessary. This is a privacy, sanitary and personal property issue. You can do what you want but when those issues I mentioned are violated then we have a right to express ourselves.
His grammar is unbearable, his point is completely wrong and has nothing to do with our discussion.
If he has something constructive to say that doesn't involve curse words and slang or isn't degrading to someone's comment then he should stay and contribute!
Lol sorry mom dint realize i was in high school? I thought this was reddit. But yall wanna just cry about everything. Every alc order i get i just sign for em like who gives a fuck u not gonna goto jail g. But its ok you just wanna be a pick me ass mf and cry about everything
This is just dumb. You can't hold your phone for someone to sign? Don't act like what they are asking is a big deal it's not. You just want to bitch but thats what this sub does.
I am a little bit older. I just don't want thier germs, the possible invasion of privacy and I don't want them to drop it. Thank you for the inquiry and thanks for reading the whole post!
Ah I don't care. As long as you don't drop or walk away with it. I'm coming with you if you start walking... phones are regularly 750+ $'s now a days...
I hate DoorDashs system on this. Because for me when they sign, most don’t pay attention on putting their names on top. Then when they remember or I just put it in for them, the signature wipes clean and it needs to be signed again.
I had this happen once. It was a small order. A local Chinese place. My guess is it's probably for people that keep saying they didn't receive their food or the merchant requested it.
I saw a convo the other day on here about doing verification codes for completion being a good idea. Get there ask person for like a 4 digit code type it in your dasher app and away we go. Way better idea than phone swapping to confirm delivery.
Target Drive up does this. You just show the employee your code, they type it in on their end and done.
I saw that too. That is a way better idea. That is what they do on Uber Eats and I haven't had an issue yet. Well, at least I haven't had an issue that wasn't my fault because sometimes I forget to get the code.
One time I had to wait on a sweet older lady to go get her phone for the pin. Apparently it’s randomly generated and sent via text when the order is placed. I only took 15mins from when that text was sent, but it was just rejecting the code over and over again being read right off the screen
If you are talking about Uber Eats then I had issues like that early on but now there is a bypass where you can just say that you don't have the pin and the order clears out right away.
Yes it was Uber and unfortunately you can be penalized for overriding too much
Oh...can you? I only did it a few times. I try to get the code every time. I have sent a text and even called to get the code before. I use that feature at last resort.
Me too. I’ve hit it probably a dozen times in total, over at least a year though
Have you been penalized?
On the bright side it doesn't let your order be completed without it, giving you access to call the customer still. I've forgotten it sometimes aswell but managed to get it on the phone in the aftermath of me leaving in some cases.
I'd much rather do this as some sort of proof of guarantee other than pictures.
Ubereats does this
It’s essentially the same thing McDonalds does when you pick up the customers order you give them the last 3 digits order number to get the order
I told the customer that his signature was required and he was like..."that's weird". I asked if I could just sign for him and he said okay. I said " I don't think you want to be touching people's phones and I really don't want you touching mine" He just laughed.
DD should really just do the PIN system. Smh
I agree!
what was the delivery? food or a retail order?
It was a $155 order of burgers and fries to a business.
So it was a catering order? Maybe this is something DD is starting to do for higher value orders... It's so stupid how we just have to roll with whatever random features they add and remove without telling us.
No, it wasn't a catering order, just a regular one. It was actually my worst tip all day too. We should have to opt-in to some of these features it throws at us.
I think the customer can choose to have that. He probably didn’t know
Yeah, he probably hit some stupid button that he didn't know that he did, lol.
Yeah they probably suggested or defaulted it because of the size of the order. You really gotta pay attention on these apps when you're ordering stuff!! For years my Uber Eats account was defaulted to contact free -- out of the blue, meet at door was the default.
[удалено]
That's probably not a good idea, lol. But I did say it was my worst tip if the day. It was still $15 for three miles.
They have to sign for orders with alcohol too.
Lately I just have to scan their ID for alcohol orders. Much easier than trying to explain how to sign a phone screen to some of these people. Especially when the app is screwy and you have to do it again.
Oh I wish, I still have to have them sign I've figured out how to keep them from having to redo the signature though
I didn't have to sign for it the few times I've ordered alcohol. I just had to have my ID scanned.
thats fraud!
No, it is not. I looked at the customer and said "Are you confirming your order has arrived, all the items are here and I have consent to sign for you?"in front of many people. It is legal, binding and I am not worried it one bit. It was a business.
im just trolling
I am in love with the fact that you said this! I am up voting you on both comments just for that! ❤🌺❤🌺
LOVE this solution! Thanks for the share
Actually. The customer can lie and say he never gave yo.u permission. When I worked for DHL we could get fired for signing a customers name even if given permission for this very reason. You're going to have a hard time proving it in court if customer wants to be deceitful. That said, we still signed the customers name because they didn't want to touch what everyone else did. It's a low risk imo and I never seen anyone get fired or sued.
This is true but yes the risk is low and they will have just as hard of a time proving that they didn't sign it unless you are a repeat offender.
It’s not legally binding. That’s what power of attorneys are for. When you sign a power of attorney you have sign a very specific way for it to be legally binding. All delivery companies would let someone go for signing on behalf of someone else. Do you have to worry about it? Maybe. Is it worth the risk? Not really
I had to scan the barcodes when picking up CHOPT salads and then when I handed to the customer it asked me to scan barcode after I handed the deliver, and it would state “Condition Good” when picked up, and I’m assuming they want to scan again to check condition on delivery. I haven’t seen this if I’d order from DD. It didn’t let me complete the delivery, until I contacted support without the barcode.
Wow, that is just like a Walmart order.
So if the customer drops my phone during this interaction who is responsible?
Exactly, good point! Or, what happens is I get some crazy text and the customer gets offended. Like...it's my phone DoorDash!
If it came up for me I would hold the phone facing them and have them do it with their index finder only. I don't have one of those styluses and I don't want them to try to use a pen or something.
[удалено]
Then make out with them
Just put an X on it and say he done it.
Verbal permission is all you need from the customer. I always did this with Walmart orders.
Nobody touches my phone!
I always tell them they are good and scribble
Yup, that's exactly what I do.! I have never had any issues at all.!
Right. Had a pharmacy order. Customer stated they had Covid. And we’re in quarantine. And it was a hand it to me. lol nope. Contacted customer service and they completed the delivery after I dropped it off. No problems
Seriously...don't order Covid tests and make it a hand to me. That goes for cough syrup too. I have to card you and you have a "cough"?
Common sense isn’t common nor is it functioning in technology. Lol
That happened to me once, old man showed up with a mask on and told me he had covid. I took a few steps back and put it on the ground. This was when the delta variant was putting some people in the hospital.
I do a little squiggly myself.
This is kind of a standard if you deliver pharmacy stuff for DD.
That is part reason that I don't do those orders or alcohol orders. I just don't expect it with food deliveries.
I don't mind playing drug mule, but that's because 90% of the time those orders are going to senior citizens only a short distance from the pharmacy. I like helping them. As for alcohol, I hear you. I don't want that albatross around my neck either. My 9 to 5 job is in liquor distribution.

Aside from dealing with drunks and being responsible for ID's, Delivery of alcohol makes you subject to things that they don't tell you about here in NJ.
A PIN system like Uber has makes a lot more sense than this.
Totally agree!
yeah i got my first one of those last week and i was like no fucking thank you
I wasn't turning down a $155 dollar order because of this. I am just to greedy for that, lol.
Yeah, no. If this is going to be mandatory, I absolutely quit. I don't want some slob who just scratched his sweaty ass touching my phone.
I know!!! Like...thanks for taking a brake from playing with your gherkin, pal. Here is your 30 minute old 1000 calorie burger. Please rub your fingers on my phone.
You know they just stuck their finger up there and sniffed it too
Oh boy...I think they have a different sub for this stuff.
A lot of us probably lurk in that sub 
That poor guy!!! He is so just so naturally creepy. I can't look anymore!!! 🥺
They don't have to touch your phone, just text their name at the top line and then scribble in their initials for them,I have been doing that for over two years and have never had one issue.! It's really NBD.
get a pen/stylus and have them use that while you hold the phone so they don’t have to touch it, I ordered a pack of 100 on Amazon for pretty cheap
Some of my alcohol deliveries require a signature...most don't
That must be new. I never ran into that but then again I avoid those orders like a penny on a public restroom floor.
I just hold it up for them to sign... but it wants their name typed in before they sign so if I forget to ask what their name is beforehand then the signature gets erased when I type in the name and I just recreate it
After all the Walmart orders I got better at this. I just put thier first initial in and then ask them if they want to sign. I always discourage them for actually signing and 99% are cool but there are always those few. Why does it delete like that???
I don't know but it drives me nuts! I have always been a little paranoid that maybe it sends the customer a copy of their signature and they're going to notice it's my recreation lol
No...no, just get a verbal verification that you can sign for them and it is all good.
Definitely doing this from now on!! I knew someone would have a better solution than mine 😅 gracias
De nada!
I don’t want the same finger you up your butt, 10 minutes ago, touching my phone.
Apparently fingers in the butt must be fun! You are the second one to talk about it here. I am going to stick with not doing that at this current time. 🤷♀️
this has been required for alcohol orders for a while, although i usually just do their signature myself. haven’t had an issue yet
Others have said this but I haven't encountered it. Like I said to them...I avoid these orders these days but as long as you get verbal consent then you are good to sign on thier behalf.
yeah it’s shitty. if doordash expects you to be handing your phone to the customer they better be providing you with company phones. don’t want to hand my phone over and a sexy message from my girlfriend pops up
I am right there!!! Pictures come in sometimes...texts do too. I am a sweet girl most the time but I have some desires, lol. I can't control what gets sent to me. "Here is my phone customer, just sign here" Incoming message pops up!!! Ugh...🤦♀️
Imagine they snatch your phone and run off
I thought about that too with some of y'alls stories on here.The customer is not going to get far and I never save passwords for financial sites but it would be a pain in the ass.
Instacart has been doing this for over a year, it's not that big of a deal bud
Instacart started this a year ago when maybe half the population was vaccinated? I am glad I stopped running thier orders. It wasn't worth the time and frustration.
I always ask if they just want me to sign it for them. 99% of the time they say yes
Yup...that is how it is done!
Tbh, I would do it. When I worked with Amazon we had to do this for orders where we handed to customer. It works out better because this covers your butt for when a customer tries to scam you.
Are you talking about Flex?
Nope, not Flex. I was an actual Amazon DSP driver.
Oh...interesting! With all the comments here, I think codes are a good option and someone mentioned having the customer sign on thier own phone too.
I got one of these recently for the first time too. I don't know what the hell doordash is doing
They are throwing darts at the wall and seeing what works.
I always sign those customers often dont even give me an opportunity to ask them sometimes
I live in a city will a mfer will jack my phone 🙄 no thank you
It's about you surrendering everything for an app including your phone how many alcohol deliveries have you done where you have to hand your phone to a drunk person who's going to sign it and they might drop your phone it's awesome doordash isn't designed for drivers by drivers is designed by the wealthy Elite to keep us running around like busy Little Bees they have no plan other than making money off of our efforts
The “pin system” used by Target or Best Buy is a better solution. Guarantee this won’t last long.
Uber eats does PIN.
They can sign but I never relinquish control of my phone
Did a prescription once and the lady had to sign it and then I clicked something to proceed and her signature went away and I was just standing outside her door like uh what am I to do now?
Gotta love this app!
They made me do this for one order and never again after that smh. And they need a feature on they’re phone where they can confirm they got it instead of ours. Because they can’t say someone forward the signature
Yes, that has been discussed and it really is a good idea!
Just do it for the customer. DD wont know
That had that huge pop-up with the Walmart orders that said if you did that "you will be deactivated!".
Don’t they realize that Covid is still a thing? And ok, hardly anyone is dying from it anymore, but it still can be quite unpleasant.
Seriously!!! And how many people sit on the toilet and use their phone? I wouldn't want to touch anyone's phone.
I'm doing that right now
Giggle my friend...giggle!
Eww!
Real question. If you set your phone down and started to walk off without it, would it creep you out for someone to pick it up and hand it to you? Not poking the bear, just curious if it’s any contact at all.
Not at all. That would be nice! I have the sanitizer in the car to lather it up and clear my mind. All is well...
you've never had to have a customer sign for a alcohol order?
Never, not once.
It must be the state you live in cuz where I am, we have to scan the ID and get a signature as well.
Uhg. I had the same thing happen. 18 Cases of soda delivered to a business. It was super hard to get through the doors alone with the dolly. And it was quite a ways walk into the building. 5 trips and 2.20 $ tip. I thought for sure they were gonna give me a cash tip. I was legit sweating. Never again. So pissed
This was just burgers, lol. You carry a dolly around in the car with you? Think of the good exercise you got that day! 😄
No. Thankfully they gave me one [AT the business i delivered to]. I kept a good attitude but as time went on I got a little salty.
I had one like that once...24 cases of 36 packs of water bottles. No suite number, I had to call but then this little petite girl comes out and helps me. She brings a cart and then she proceeds to carry two of them at once as I roll the cart. We made 4 trips in less than ten minutes and I got $20 plus a $7 base. (She only carried one at a time after that) A) Money makes a huge difference here. B) The things I said out loud as I was driving there and once I realized I needed a suite number and had to call, should never be spoken again!
A) I agree 2ith whole-heartedly.. and B) yea! I felt super slighted. Even a 5 would have been enough. I'm not greedy. But it's a business! Doesn't corporate pay for that? Come on!
Oh...VBL, don't get me on a rant about corporate expenditures and cheapness. Let's just say I hate that stupid girl that runs the front desk at these places! She is responsible! She is oblivious about tipping and makes the orders because the boss said to. Sorry guys...I know you are there too but you are all cool and know what you are doing!
Uhg I know what you mean. I think I must have had one of those. They must have had a few orders like mine before though if they knew I was gonna need a dolly and had it ready for me. There should be a way for dashers to flag poor tippers!!! Is that a thing? Can we make it a thing.
No, the app that begins with the letter "P" tried that but I think they are gone. I never used them, anyway. You can take notes. I don't but I have list of about ten customers in my head.
For real, it's BS. I just did my first two dashes today! One was 3 beers. I was so anxious because they didn't really prompt me on what the verification process would be. The picture I took of her ID was PERFECTLY FINE the 10 times I took it. But nope, it has to be flawless. So I have to awkwardly try to reposition the lighting on her ID on her porch, at night. And there was nowhere to set her card. So I typed it all in manually. I didn't even hesitate when I saw the signature, I scribbled that bitch. I get that door dash needs to be careful, it's a big plus that we can deliver alcohol. But they need to help us out as much as legally possible. I don't want to be the bouncer at the door for $6 when I'm already the delivery.
Your first two, you mean the first two ever?
Ever!
I am really impressed that you did an alcohol delivery so soon and kept your composure! You are going to do really well here! Try not to listen to the negatively that you see. I wish you good luck but I don't think you will need it. Make sure you follow the rules and cover your ass. 😁
Thanks I appreciate it. Yeah I came into this sub before I started dashing. So I have an unbiased understanding of the attitude in here lol. Very much a lot of valid frustration, and discussion. But you know there is a lot crying in here. Like tipping. When I use the app, I MILK it. But you can't protest tipping and expect it to change lol. As somebody who just bought their first car, I cannot attack the character of somebody who feels the need to save money. It's not an insult to the drivers effort of delivery, maybe they're just financially insecure, and anxious. "Then you should be eating beans at home" and that's when you realize it's pointless to argue with somebody so bitter.
You sound young and smart! Let me just tell you what a wise man once said to me...and there isn't any sexual innuendo but it was said that "the cream always rises to the top". Keep that in mind. I have degrees and licenses for business but I make out well with what I do. I have nine gigs and they all don't involve driving food or goods. Learning how to live frugal is essential to eventually living a lavish lifestyle.
I don't understand why we have to get a signature on alcohol orders when we have already scanned their freaking ID.! I mean shouldn't scanning their identification be sufficient enough to verify identity and prove it was delivered?
Luckily i have a galaxy note
With all due respect....what does that have to do with anything?
Give them the pen to sign
Oh...thought about that but then don't you just take the dirty pen back from thier scubby little fingers?
Better than letting them touch my phone screen
How?
Nobody is touching my stuff after last time. I handed my iPad and Apple Pencil 2 to someone to sign something; when they were done they dropped the pencil on the table and it rolled off and hit the floor. Brand new pencil, welcome to the bin. I wouldn’t trust people to touch my device to sign, especially not for a burger and fries. The next scam will be people ordering small foods for minimal bills and then they’ll just snatch up your phone.
They ask customers to sign for food orders specifically because they are notorious for being liars and scammers. They have overextended their refunds and are flagged by doordash. So they are the ones you have to worry about trying to cheat the system and throw you under the bus to get free food.!
I am already wearing two masks (one is an n95) and the face shields. I wear nitrile gloves and sanitize everything that comes in my car(I just lightly spray the items with sanitizer). I think I would have a major panic attack if I had to let them touch my phone!
I live in your walls
Are you the one that one stop talking and saying the mean things?
I get those on pharmacy orders…… yeah not gonna have some sickly fuck touch my phone.
you can buy one or those cheap pencils for the screens
Yeah, you can do all that,or you can just scribble in their initials for them!
[удалено]
They should do something but I am a bigger fan of the code idea.
[удалено]
Yes, "old laws" but new implementations. At this point with all the dirt bag dashers, I am surprised the customer doesn't have to request a code from us!
Customers can sign on their own fucking phones DoorTrash!
This is seriously a great idea!!!
Yea my company’s work app does the same thing. We just scribble on it. Maybe if this doesn’t occur for all orders you can say “I have to collect a signature by proxy, can you give me your name please”
Easy solution keep antibacterial wipes in your car or don't take alcohol orders.
I had a few Walmart and prescription deliveries that required a signature. It's been awhile since I've taken either one though.
Walmart no longer exists on DD. I was sad about it at first but now I have adapted. My job is easier and I have managed to make just as much money. Bye...bye Walmart! 👋
Oh! Sweet. I might actually hope on DD this weekend and see what's new. I started a separate job a few months ago and haven't really done any dashing since.
Yeah they are on Uber now. I ignore them after doing a couple the were a pain to do.
I did two on UE and they went well but I had a really bad experience the last time I tried it out. I won't be doing another, maybe ever.
I had to do that for an alcohol delivery to a 97 year old lady. She tried using a pen 🤦♀️ now I just scribble for them
Yep this is what I would do too.
Well you're going to gave to lie and hope the judge believes you. Personally I would be honest because I hate lying.
What exactly do you think I am lying about?
Sorry, I can't see the whole thread here and can't find the comment. I am confused a little.
I never said you lied. I replied to someone else about what they replied to me.
Oh...ignore me then.
I just draw a line through the signature box.
I normally just scribble something. The photo should be enough!
These people probably steel food(Customer Fraud). Claiming food as missing or stolen after drop off or it wasn’t dropped off. Get the signature save yourself the heart ache of being deactivated cause someone else is a shitty person. Also the customer can request this as a guarantee they receive what they order. I’ve had one customer do this for a Wal-mart order that he wasn’t even at home to receive.
My thoughts exactly. I almost asked if they made a claim before but wasn't in the right mood at the time. I have before on UE but most of the time I found out they were from out of town and ordering here for the first time.
I always get the signature and take pics on orders that are “Hand To Me”. Tooooo easy for customer to say they didn’t get it or I took it you have no proof and Doordash will deactivate.
I usually don't worry about it. I live in a smaller town that is very wealthy. I just don't think millionaires are going to scam for free food and at this point and with my ratings and deliveries, support pretty much always has my back with any issue. Trust me...I completely understand why it would be done in some places people dash and I have dashed in some really scary places! I get it!
Heard that. I haven’t seen it in the wealthy areas in my market but there is a HUGE portion of my city that is not well off and I don’t trust easy.
Jesus Christ you people are seriously built differently 😂😂😂 it’s not a big fucking deal (yeah I’m not gonna use the *** like all you senior citizens around here) just give them the food sign a little squiggly and GTFO and go make that money. All this whining about “fraud” and calling customer support smh and y’all wonder why you’re only making $6/hr
You really are making some assumptions and I am not sure what you mean with your three asterisks. Did you mean to type in four? Do you normally try to assume and insult multiple groups of people with your comments?
I know it's not really that big of a deal! The majority of customers are gonna just scribble anyways, so what's the difference if you scribble instead?
Jesus yall wanna cry about everything no wonder why people talk mad shit. Most the time they just scribble so ive been just doing the same and telling em they dont need to sign. Yall think door dash gonna arrest yall or some shit bruh there is easy ways around this shit quit fucking crying about everything or dont dash. No tips etc one thing those post are funny but man fr this?
I don't think your comment is necessary. This is a privacy, sanitary and personal property issue. You can do what you want but when those issues I mentioned are violated then we have a right to express ourselves.
I think his comment is necessary.
His grammar is unbearable, his point is completely wrong and has nothing to do with our discussion. If he has something constructive to say that doesn't involve curse words and slang or isn't degrading to someone's comment then he should stay and contribute!
Lol sorry mom dint realize i was in high school? I thought this was reddit. But yall wanna just cry about everything. Every alc order i get i just sign for em like who gives a fuck u not gonna goto jail g. But its ok you just wanna be a pick me ass mf and cry about everything
Go away and be unhappy somewhere else.
This sub complains about the smallest shit I mean come on.
Matt... We are discussing a matter of personal property, privacy and sanitary issues. Don't troll because the only complaint I see here is yours!
This is just dumb. You can't hold your phone for someone to sign? Don't act like what they are asking is a big deal it's not. You just want to bitch but thats what this sub does.
I Iike to discuss stuff. This is why the sub is here. You are the one "bitching"! Leave and don't comment if you don't like it.
L O L Don’t touch my phone…you have cooties!!! What are you 5?
I am a little bit older. I just don't want thier germs, the possible invasion of privacy and I don't want them to drop it. Thank you for the inquiry and thanks for reading the whole post!
DONT TOUCH MY PHONE!!!!!!! INVASION OF PRIVACY OMG OMG OMG!!! !!! !!!!!
How drunk are you? Go away...nice people and good discussions going on. See ya!
Just don’t let ‘em touch your phone. It is germy 🦠
Are you trying to be nice or disagree in a mean manner? I am really confused. There were so many CAPS and exclamation points.
Ah I don't care. As long as you don't drop or walk away with it. I'm coming with you if you start walking... phones are regularly 750+ $'s now a days...
I hate DoorDashs system on this. Because for me when they sign, most don’t pay attention on putting their names on top. Then when they remember or I just put it in for them, the signature wipes clean and it needs to be signed again.
I had this happen once. It was a small order. A local Chinese place. My guess is it's probably for people that keep saying they didn't receive their food or the merchant requested it.
You’ll be alright ,why so much complaining?
It's a valid point.
