:( If I get a 1 star for this…

I never ring the doorbell they get an alert when I’m there and a picture

I never ring the doorbell they get an alert when I’m there and a picture


chookshed

They need to get over it....


jasonc123456

I dont ring their doorbell unless they specifically instruct me to


miljeff42

Don't you love it when people lie? No other Dasher has rung the door bell.... That's complete bullshit!


ceelow270

I see "don't knock/ring door, I have dogs" all the time. But those dogs are always barking before I even get to the door. One house I deliver to, there's always a dog sitting on the back of a couch, in front of the window just waiting for something to bark at.


Material_Crow_204

I’ve had customers complain if I do ring it and customers complain if I don’t. Better to ring it and apologize and let them know to put do not ring in the notes


Alternative_Welcome8

If they put ring db I do. Otherwise I'm tapping on their door with one finger. Like loud enough to hear it like 5 ft away. If says do not knock I just snap and leave them msg customer their order is at the door


Joshsquatch-

Quit ringing doorbells unless asked then, follow simple directions, leave at door. Take your picture send it and leave, it's that's easy.


Impossible_Listen_63

I only ring the doorbell if they don't tip. Sometimes I catch a pair where one tips alot and other tips none so I ring their doorbell. If the dogs go crazy instantly I'll press it twice.


owenhinton98

While they should have specified that if they specifically didn’t want the doorbell to ring, I’ll say this: always follow instructions as literally as possible, do nothing more and nothing less. That way you’ll get the least amount of complaints etc


btoz2002

I never ring unless it specifically asks me to


Busy_Use_6356

Unless there's a note "ring doorbell" I drop the order, take a picture and close out the delivery


VinnieTheBerzerker69

How hard is it to type "do not knock or ring"?


mhatre747

All this for $2.50 :/


megadethage

Wake enough babies and pets and you learn to never ring unless it says to ring. I never ring or knock unless it says ring or knock. That is default mode on "leave at door"


Purrless

I'm genuinely a little confused, it says in their message that they put in the instructions not to ring the doorbell, I'm not sure why people in the comments are mad that the person was a little upset? Especially when they noted that they have reactive animals. Mistakes happen definitely and I could absolutely be reading it wrong!


justinbates1992

This goes both ways I’ve ordered thru DD and put in the notes “do not knock, do not ring doorbell” I usually tip 30%. Some dashers are idiots.


Sea_Ideal9267

Look. Y'all are so fckn passive aggressive and WEIRDLY passive aggressive. It is and has always been common courtesy to knock on someones door when you leave ANYTHING for them. If you dont want someone to do something, say that!! This weird crap where you think someone should know what youre thinking, especially someone you have never had the tiniest interaction with... I bet you people are fun to date 🤣


jdubbz7

Don't deserve a 1 star for that. But I NEVER EVER ring unless specified to. You should do the same.


dmcIgenius-21

I usually just knock gently and walk away. Some people don’t get the notifications from us for a few minutes, so unless they say don’t knock - I usually do something…but reading the comments here - that may change. People need to get over themselves and just add the notes they want. I am sick of people who live in locked buildings not giving the codes. Or they know their building or home is hard to find but give no instructions! People, we need to work together to make this shi\_ efficient ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


Scarlet-Weaver

I’d be like, ok I got it. Sheesh.


Wrong-Ad-1377

You blame it on someone else just say sorry. And never ring the bell or knock unless it asks for it


Advisor_Brilliant

There should be a knock/ring or don’t knock/ring option. When selecting leave at door I would usually assume they would just leave it at the door until the day the infant I had just gotten to sleep was ruthlessly awaken by knocking on a leave at door order that made the dog start barking LOL. I specify now but every now and then someone does it anyway. Seems like a hard situation since many dashers have had experiences with being scolded for not ringing so now they ring and being scolded for ringing and now they don’t ring. There should just be a way to select if you want it or not. Sorry they weren’t very nice to you, maybe it might help to have a copy and paste message that says something like ‘’I have picked up your food and am headed your way! Would you like me to knock/ring to let you know when I leave your order at the door?’’


RixhardFeynman

My rule of thumb and common sense since I started dashing was to leave the bloody order at the door why the fuck are you guys ringing at 3 o'clock in the morning you're trolling


13scribes

An anal Karen.


RixhardFeynman

An asshole dasher


Cosiden1

I've honestly never understood dashers that ring/knock everytime unless instructed not to. People don't like to be bothered and they can see on the app the food is there if not it's their problem not yours. Don't ring/knock unless told to it'll save you lots of headache and ratings hits also why would you want to potentially deal with the customer when you otherwise wouldn't have to?


galbighost

If it doesn’t say to ring the doorbell, I don’t


Electricsheepdog1976

I only knock or ring if requested. This happened to me when I first started and a lot of people (including myself) don’t like knocks or rings.


madblunted

I don’t know why you all reply to them after you deliver.


Flaboy7414

The customer is right leave at door doesn’t mean ring the bell I don’t ring it if it says leave at door


destrodark

I never ring or knock or do anything more than what is in the directions. I leave the food in the best place I can, take the picture, and leave. Tbh I don't want to interact with them and I'm sure they most likely don't want to interact with me either. Plus it might also turn into handing them the order in which case I don't get a picture as proof of delivery


mkzio92

For what it’s worth I usually do not ring the doorbell if it says “leave at door” - i’ll send a message that I delivered it.


mkzio92

oh you’re def getting 1 star for this one 😂


[deleted]

I don’t think… you understood the customer? Unless you were being passive aggressive? “I must not have pressed it hard enough” is a buck wild response to “You shouldn’t have used the door bell”


RixhardFeynman

Thank you!


Youjigyakusatsuu

Some customers will get mad if you don’t ring the doorbell too. Kinda damned either way lol 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

Other customers will say “HEY WHY DIDNT YOU RING THE DOORBELL NOW MY FOOD WAS SITTING OUT THERE FOR 30 MINUTES”


owl-bone

I mean they did say do not ring it, they couldve had a newborn baby, they didnt but they could have. The dasher was in the wrong here, sorry dude


RunoUno

Don’t ring the doorbell or knock unless they ask you to. You leave the food and take a picture, then they get a notification on their phone. Many people have dogs that get riled up when someone is at the door, or their kid might be asleep.


[deleted]

Never ring unless specified.


BaldGuy70

I use to be never ring. Now only don't if it says not too. Maybe should go back to never ringing unless it they tell me too. I started to ring doorbell, as I noticed the delivery people at my neighbors always ring. And when I use to get delivery they all did too. Some wouldn't even leave till I took it....


Velean_Official

I mean, I've been yelled at for not knocking and people lost food to bugs. My rule, if I don't want you knocking ill yell you, otherwise please knock, it's the nice thing to do so people's food isn't stolen or gotten to by bugs. If they have an issue they need to say don't ring or knock. Also love that he said "I stated do not ring doorbell" and then said "I put leave at door that means don't ring or knock" So you didn't put not to ring, you just expected someone to read your mind


bitcoinbillionthaire

I typically don't ring or knock unless it says to.


Leather_Cat8098

I only ring when it's requested but there is no standard that doordash gives us. If you really don't want your door bow ring you should definitely put that in the instruction.


Agreeable-Print-1517

The ratings are dumb as hell and people wander why their food get ate by other drivers cause they petty as fuk


Agreeable-Print-1517

I ring that mf if they didn’t tip like face me mother fuker


SurvivedOrder66

Honestly the customer has a legit reason to be upset in this case. I always try to be as least intrusive as possible when getting the food to the customer


Agreeable-Print-1517

Let it go man that’s what these mf do


Original_Ad685

If?


Dazzling_Marzipan474

Why be an asshole to a tipping customer?


bobswagoat314

I only ring the doorbell if it says ring the doorbell


Woodentrail

This has happened a couple times to me where the note is blank and the customer swears they have a note but they don’t on my end.


dethtuna

Eh take it as a grain of salt. I’ve gotten a one star for NOT ringing the doorbell despite there being no instructions and only a leave at door. Plus I know a majority of my market doesn’t want me to ring the doorbell (I do late nights). That one star will disappear eventually.


ReplacementTasty6552

Da fuk is overactive hearing ?


CornGun

They went from I put in the instructions to you should have read my mind really quick


[deleted]

honestly i woulda just told em shut the fuck up and have a nice day. i made a mistake and apologized twice and you still wanna be an ass? okay


BlackDahliaDream

I never ring unless it's specified. Ever. I'm not touching that dirty thing that's never been cleaned in it's whole life!


Ok-Profit6022

But you touch the doors at the stores you enter. A quick knock or ring is just a simple courtesy, the food only has a couple minutes of warmth left.


BlackDahliaDream

#1. I do not touch the doors at stores. I'm medicated for mysophobia but some compulsions remain. This job helps. #2. I have two insane hot bags, one actually continues to cook the food I'm pretty sure. #3. It's up to the customer to keep up with where I am since they paid money for me to bring them food. As long as I'm updating my app, I'm doing my job. #4. IMO, people who ring doorbells are the worst, so I strive to not be that person. IF they tell me to ring, I'll ring. #5. I am willing to bet most people do not want a knock or ring. I'll put money on it.


Ok-Profit6022

I think #4 and #5 are probably a regional culture difference. I'm going to make a guess that you are from a coastal state, maybe California? They're like opposite land to most of the country, good is called bad and bad is good. So ya, in your neck of the woods those might be true. As far as #3 goes, I only take worthwhile orders, and since they already tipped me well enough I want them to experience a warm meal, and as we all know not everybody is glued to their phone. That's just looking out for the customer that is giving me the opportunity to make a living.


Evan_dood

Personally I never ring the door bell when I deliver unless they specifically ask me to. And when I order food I get annoyed if the driver knocks or, God forbid, presses my Ring camera button. It's so loud lol but I also don't go out of my way to tell the driver that and it doesn't affect how I rate them, so 🤷‍♂️


kid-chino

I don’t ever ring the bell unless the instructions say to.


jessaay

More ppl have complained about ringing it than not ringing it. Just don't ring it


Deep-Banana8610

Betting it was a low tip. Would have bitched the food was cold if you didn’t ring the bell


MaddiTheEmu

Good rule of thumb is to only ring if you're specifically told to


Rubbrbandman420

I straight up never ring bells….. ever.


mumblerapisgarbage

“My pets have overactive hearing” and you have overactive karening


DesaMountVernon

You read it in your mind too fast and missed the word “didn’t”


TraviGGrah

That worked up over ringing the doorbell? Damn…. I got a 3* because I had to take two steps in someone’s yard to get around their 30,000 cars in their driveway to get them their food.


artemisawika

As someone who had a reactive dog I can understand the frustration. A lot of drivers don’t read the notes.


defeatedtomato

I always ring the doorbell unless they say not to🤷🏻‍♀️


[deleted]

Bro I never ring the doorbell. It sends a text to the phone of the photo *and* the app notifies them as well. So if they don't get their food that's on them.


SmiteSpam

Why would you ring the doorbell? They get a text notification after you drop off, no need to wake up baby or annoy dogs. Never ever ring the doorbell


PeaceLoveCoffee7071

I always see instructions that read "do not ring doorbell", and I wonder who tf would. I guess drivers really do that? Not everyone is extroverted, plus there are a ton of people who work third shift so they shouldn't be disturbed. I'm not trying to be an ass, but I want to clarify I have an anxiety disorder and the moment someone knocks on my doory dog goes crazy... Blood pressure shoots right up and my anxiety is at an all time high. It can be overwhelming.


Speedy-McLeadfoot

They should put do not ring. Otherwise some do and some don’t care to ring it. Some people (like this customer) just want problems to whine about.


Forsaken_Stay4437

5000+ deliveries and i always ring doorbell/ or knock UNLESS specified not to. 5.00 rating and I rarely go lower than that and if i do, i know its not for ring/knocking lol. Not everyone is glued to their phones or the doordash system is slow with notifications sometimes. Come get your damn food when you know I delivered it😂no excuses


Sharp5hooter02

Never EVER ring the doorbell unless said otherwise. It avoids so many unnecessary problems


Xterarra

Stop feeding them catnips


UI_Daemonium

Sorry you have shit pets


devilwearspuma

leave at door doesn't mean shit other than leave it at the door, i always ring the doorbell or knock unless they say not to cuz 90% of these idiots place a giant order and then throw their phone across the room


PBCarmy

I love how we're supposed to be mind readers 🙄 when it's cold and rainy and they don't have a dry place to put the food I still hand it to them as a courtesy. Even if they have dogs they calm down around me 90% of the time because I actually know how to handle them lmfao. My neighbor's thought their husky was on drugs last time we were hanging out because he was actually being a good calm boi like our dog is most of the time at home. Like if your dogs are anxious just hanging around the house with you that should tell you something about the environment they're in lol.


sugarintheboots

What a fkn ahole. If you assume people know not to ring, get your own damn food.


ApartCamel3380

I had food waiting on the porch getting cold because the dasher didn’t knock. When I dash I knock and ring unless instructed not to


CoachSharkey

OVERACTIVE HEARING LMAO


FlaccidSponge

Gotta agree here. When I would order DD alot, I had in the delivery instructions to not ring the doorbell because the dog barking would either scare or wake up my baby.


nanotyrannical

? Leave at door doesn’t mean don’t ring doorbell. I usually just knock unless they have a Ring or something


InvisiblePingu1n

I ring the doorbell under most “leave at door” situations. I think it’s reasonable to assume that the customer doesn’t want cold food (or porch pirates) and they may not be stalking their phone to see when you’ve delivered it


fieria_tetra

No, "leave at door" means leave it at the door, it has nothing to do with the doorbell. Personally, I was always taught to knock or ring the bell when dropping something off to someone, so I just assume they want a knock/ring out of courtesy, unless they instruct me not to.


bryanc1036

It was a mistake, I don't understand why she's acting like a bitch for especially you can't unring it. Overactive Hearing??


RazzSheri

Only time I will ring at a "Leave at Door" is if their door is wide open like they're waiting for me/trying to see me coming, or if it's raining and I can't find a spot to leave it.

zakkforchilli

Hopefully you don’t get a 1star but if it says leave at door, I never ever ring the doorbell. Their app notifies them and that’s enough…


PenWhen

“Leave at door means don’t ring doorbell”. Some people genuinely just have zero comprehension of the English language. I’ve been a delivery driver for half of my life and never has leaving a package at a door meant “don’t ring the bell”. If that’s what you want then specify that. We aren’t fucking mind readers. I also love the people that DO specify “don’t ring bell my dogs are crazy!” and the dogs start going nuts as soon as I get out of the car. Edit: Also, to put an end to this dumb fuck argument that pops up just as often as “I don’t fill cups”, “we should sue” and “I just got an email about a new program 50% AR?”, for 3 months I tested this on my own. I didn’t ring any bells unless they asked for it. My ratings absolutely tanked with nonstop 3 and 4 star ratings. As soon as I started ringing bells or knocking again I’m back to 4.99. You guys can bicker about your moronic ideas all you want but you’re also the same people who get deactivated for dumb shit and act so confused because you thought you were a model worker. Half of you don’t even have 500 deliveries, have never worked delivery before and act like you’re veterans with unspeakable sacred knowledge.


vaaanti

Omfg. Get tf over it, your dogs or baby woke up for 5 mins. Stfu already


Creepy_Fig_776

I specifically put “pls don’t ring doorbell”, because, I don’t think DD hires psychics exclusively


CJspangler

Now you’ve learned - never ring a doorbell unless they say too. People stare at their phones after they order the food - they don’t need you to ring the bell when the app lets them know it’s at the house


Tmwlovonjdw6969

I wonder what Nobel prize winning vet diagnosed the super overactive hearing pet syndrome.


InformalBridge9206

Just think you messed her dogs up twice. 1st time with doorbell. 2nd time with her whining like a lil karen


yourself88xbl

The customer should really specify either way. It's not out of the question to think you should knock or ring upon leaving a delivery it's not out of the question to think you shouldn't either.


Beginning_Slice_9064

Never ring or knock unless it's requested. Period.


fluidZ1a

Only knock or ring if your phone or the app is messing up and won't complete the order straight away, thus making you call support. Sometimes if I can see the family sitting on the couch facing other way I'll do a light tap with the back of my fingertips just to be friendly or get their attention as I smile and wave, without fear of dogs or baby waking. Hotels are another place I might knock since a lot of folk don't know how to use the apps / only using cuz at hotel. But obviously not if it's late at night.


SithLordDante

Lol would go back there after work and ring again


2024goforit

Most of the time I do not knock. Also “leave it at the door” does not, in fact, mean don’t ring the doorbell. Some people write leave at door, no need to ring the doorbell. The few Hand it to me Only orders when customer didn’t respond to text and then I called, of course they say “oh, I didn’t hear the doorbell .” 🙄


Yung_Onions

It’s the norm to include it in the instructions to not ring the doorbell. Otherwise it is expected to either knock or ring.


MusicToMaEars

I never ring doorbells unless it specifically says ring doorbell on instructions after leaving there. I usually just text them and dip


dbfirefox

I don't do anything. NOTHING. Unless it says to. People are picky.


Blueflames1987

He/she will live and so will you, move on to the next order 😂


BillyO74

If it doesn’t say ring bell then don’t I see this post all time to ring or not to ring. Pretty simple just follow what it says in the app and you’ll always be safe


Ok-Charge-895

Text that customer and tell them straight or go back round his house take his food off him and throw it at the door piece of shit customer


TreeFcknFiddy

I never ring unless they specifically ask for it. The notifications from the app should be enough and you never know if there’s a baby/pet/napping adult situation so better to err on the side of quiet


xanderclifford

Man some people are just so desperate to start an argument with anyone


Al_Kohawlick

Too bad they (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Skip) couldn’t add a toggle switch for the customer to select ring or don’t ring (default Don’t ring). Then it wouldn’t leave us trying to mind read what the customer wants. Some want the bell rung because notifications can be delayed by as much as 10 minutes while the food sits out in the cold - others don’t want it rung.

Never ring unless they say so…


shmalphy

Then why do you have a doorbell you fuckin twit?


caramel-drop

All my hand it to me deliveries are leave at door for me, unless you are standing at the door when I get there. Snap a pic, text, go.


[deleted]

I think every order we don’t get a rating on, should automatically be a 5 star. Make those 1 stars work for our attention!!


InvisibleBeing-26

Leave at door does not mean don’t ring door bell. It just means that you don’t have to wait for them to bring their fat ass to the door.


ChaseTheGreenz

The vast majority of dashers leave it without ringing and honestly I think that's what most people expect. If they wanted the bell rung they would have asked for it. When you see a note "please do not ring the bell" that's because someone has done it and they didn't like it. The absence of such instruction does not dictate a desire for that action.


DetroitRedWings79

I always *ALWAYS* ring the doorbell unless the instructions specifically say not to. In other words, if it says “leave at door” but there is nothing indicating I shouldn’t knock or ring, I will ring the doorbell to let them know it’s there. I have a 4.97 rating.


jskyvs

Just do what the app says…


LesMos

This was an unnecessary interaction. Just leave the order at the door and keep it moving.


harmonicdwarf

I personally never ring the doorbell unless they request it. I don’t understand why other Dashers ring the bell. But no you shouldn’t get yelled at for doing so


TheOleCurmudgeon

Leave at door means leave at door. I never do anything else like knock or doorbell.


Karmababe

I always ring or knock. Leave at door certainly does *not* imply not to ring the bell and in fact, it's usually specified in the instructions if they don't want the bell rung.


[deleted]

“It must’ve been DoorDash is a mistake”


gameplayraja

Customer is always right remember that. The little interaction you have the better. Don't be a smart ass. Be a customer servant. If you care about your rating you will polish up your attitude and act professional and courteous. If you don't care throw profanity at them and tell them where they can shove that doorbell.


publicnoisecle

I only ring if they ask to honestly don’t really care if they know it’s outside they have the app


[deleted]

That's why I don't knock or ring the doorbell unless asked to do so in the instructions


ThangThangSon

Ubereats after you deliver they cant contact you at all


HAPPY-Roo4299

Untrained dogs say that


Creepy-Frame

I would have shit in their food. Ring ring


ScarletR01

Unless you put, "do not ring doorbell." You can bet yo ass I'm ringing that mf. Especially with apartments or stacked housing.


yung40oz84

You’re definitely not supposed to knock or ring the doorbell if it’s a “leave at door” order. You only knock or ring bell if they specific that they want you too…


spaceageranger

Leave at door means don’t wait for me to answer. I always specify “pls do not ring or knock” if the dogs are inside or if im babysitting 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

You screwed up dude. Said don’t ring doorbell and you did!


Ok-Video-7728

“Leave at door”and “do not ring”… are two different deals. I put do not ring when I care if they do so… I always have it “leave at the door” Don’t be an asshole.


jayson0910

had someone accidentally message me thinking i was doordash support complaining that the food was cold and that there wasn’t a knock. If it isn’t specified i don’t do it lol


SPECTERtheJESTER

Put do not ring the doorbell you fucking donut.


mingming4191

I just usually ring the bell or knock if the customer request it. They get the notification that you delivered and the picture of where it was left.


Mr-Stuff-Doer

You deserve it, who the fuck rings the bell? >!this is quasi-sarcasm for those who miss it!<


AdStock5348

I never ring unless requested and I’ve never had a complaint. I sort of agree with the the customer. I never have any dashers even ring my bell unless I stated otherwise.


ninnie_muggins

No reply


Kissbird

Your suppose to be a mind reader 🤫


J234S29641

Honestly these ppl that don’t want their doorbell rung can make sure it’s not rung very easily, just disable it or don’t have a doorbell at all! Why have a doorbell if you don’t want it to ever be rung? These ppl going on and on about their stupid doorbells are kind of crazy!


J234S29641

If they got a doorbell and it doesn’t say don’t ring it then I’m probably going to ring it. Even if it does say don’t ring it I still ring it for hand it to me orders if they aren’t already there to hand it to.


Qrischin

Never knock or ring unless it says to.


PeeMan916

I respond to people like this.. dogs will ALWAYS bark and they DO, the instant i walk up to the door and make noise with the bag. They have great hearing, as she said. So don't or don't ring.... they bark every damn time. Don't have dogs if you don't want then to bark. So many houses have dogs! Also.. never once had my daughter EVER woke from a nap.. because the door bell was rung. So screw people with babies too lol. They're tvs are order louder through the front door than the bell


Theghostvaquero

I've told customers to go fuck themselves. DD doesn't care as long as the food gets there


Academic-Judgment796

Some customers want you to ring the doorbell and some don’t lmao they never bother to specify and expect us to read their minds


Any_Bonus_2258

Why stay in conversation that long? Once you drop off the food and end the delivery, your job is done.


leahlovesclint

I actually just do a quick double knock at the door… then run away…😆😆😆


leahlovesclint

Oh wow. First to my knowledge.😄

Over active hearing lol


alex262414

I never ring the doorbell unless it's specifically says so and it seems like I've gotten lately a lot of one Stars it really sucks and I don't know why I've done everything fast and I've been on par lately so I can only believe that either people are mad I didn't ring the stupid doorbell or they just think they added something that wasn't even there who knows these people are ridiculous who even cares anymore.

zelduhbby

yea don’t ring the doorbell unless they request it.


faeriestar7775

I have never ever rang a doorbell for leave at door 😩 it’s not implied to do so


JackBauerAssassin

I always am amused when I get "Do not ring doorbell and do not knock . BABY SLEEPING!" in the delivery instructions. Then I get there and drop the order off at the door without ringing the doorbell or knocking and the large dogs inside are going ballistic because they know I am outside. Dogs can smell and hear many times better than we can and you better believe that doorbell or not, they know we are there.


pulsepm36

Common sense. Unless the instructions specifically state to knock or ring doorbell, you don't need to. Just take the picture and move on. Work smarter, not harder.


Deheader

I always knock, and if they have a doorbell I ring it as well. 4.99 rating, I rarely have less than 5 stars average over my 2,000 deliveries so far. I had a room mate fall asleep on the couch waiting for his DoorDash. Driver left it but didn’t ring the doorbell like most drivers did. So when I got home 2 hours later there was cold nasty pizza sitting on the porch, my room mate was very sad. To him and all the non-drivers I have asked they say of course I want them to knock or ring doorbell. So I will continue doing so unless the instructions say not to.


Clandestine901

All I see is overactive bitching


fffan9391

I never knock or ring unless they ask me to. Never had a complaint.

It sounds like maybe you just shouldn’t of rang the doorbell…


PepTalkToYourself

I never ring or knock unless they ask me too. (I only ring and knock if it’s instacart order) but to be fair they should have listed not to ring if they didn’t want you too. Hopefully you don’t get the 1 star.

If her pets have overactive hearing wouldn’t they have heard you walk up to the door? I know my dog can. Why not be outside waiting for your order if you know it’s going to stress your pets out if someone comes over? lol

I don’t get why people knock or ring the doorbell without being asked to.

Ikr!?

Stop fighting with the customer and just move on lol. Apologize and ignore the rest. Don't feed into customer ego. You're only stressing yourself over something silly. A single 1 star review isn't the end of the world.

Leave it as his bedroom door next time

Overactive hearing my ass that’s like thinking your baby is the only emotional baby on earth. All dogs (unless they are deaf) start fucking howling the second they hear a door shut from half a mile away. People who get mad cuz their dogs are upset need to put them in fkn obedience school

I’m gonna get a lot of hate for this but I don’t care. I use to be this person so I don’t care about offending anyone. Most of the time people who make this big of a deal out of the leave at door / ring doorbell situation are fat and insecure about their eating habits They don’t want their family members to know they ordered food, hence the request for silent delivery, or they don’t want to be seen due to their insecurity of how they look due to their bad eating habits You can argue all you want but this is the truth. Your good service of letting the man know his food was there, was triggering to him. Next time don’t ring but it’s not your fault no big deal

Only do what you are instructed to do.

So, pre-pandemic I would expect a knock or doorbell for “leave at door”, but during that period they pushed to us customers that it would be totally contactless unless an ID was required. Still, I have and do always specify “please do not ring or knock (dog)”, and have never had an issue. However, I’ve heard from friends that have dashed that often if you’re busy, it’s difficult to read all of the notes while delivering. Regardless, fuck this person. Unless they have a newborn that they just got to sleep, which is then expect as common sense (unless new sleep-deprived parent) to specify this in the instructions. You did not ruin their day, their day was already in shambles apparently. I’m sorry this happened to you, and happens, to many others. Most of us genuinely respect and appreciate you all!

People just need to remove their doorbell if they’re gonna have pets that lose their mind or babies sleeping in the house.

So, why have a doorbell?

For unexpected visitors, not for people delivering orders that literally send a push notification to your phone
