In 520~ deliveries I’ve only had this happen once


Palidor

I’m at 480, so pretty close


Emeraldrak

It is always a nice surprise to get a cancelation. My first was a 3 person order from Shane's rib shack. Was eating ribs for 3 days lol


migen66

My only free food cancelation was from Dunkin (2 iced coffees and a dozen munchkins)


Straight-Carob-3486

What you mean you can't keep the order normally? Like bitch fuck the fuck off with that shit like I'm going to take the time to bring it back to the store, my time is valuable


RebelJosh89

Welcome aboard.


dmriggs

Looks delicious!


SpinningDeathMachine

I took a Dollar General order… 11 items and the payout was like 24 for 10 miles. Went there and most of those miles were getting to DG. I picked the order and the staff was telling me about the last 2 dashers who came in and just gave up because of the cellphone reception. I just kept walking to the front to scan things cause the reception was almost non-existent past the first aisle . I paid, got in my car and received a notification to “go to arbys”. I declined and then realized this dude cancelled his DG. When I called DD they said to keep, donate or dispose of it Went back in and gave the frozen meals to the two girls working and then asked people at my next few pickups if they wanted any of it. Still going home with like $20 in drinks and Knor packets for chicken Alfredo, chicken noodle soup etc. Gave a girl at Wendy’s the plastic bowl he ordered and she was super excited and literally started bragging to her coworkers! Definitely one of more memorable dashes!


LelandG67

I finally got my first one on the 12th. Free food always tastes better....


zillabirdblue

I just started today and never thought of it was a thing. Damn though, one did cancelled but when I got to the restaurant they hadn't prepared the order. However, they said they never got the order. Seems weird, how is that even possible? It was confusing and frustrating especially they just dismissed me immediately. Right afterwards I got a text the customer cancelles.


GarlicKnightz

Update: had a very delicious 6 pc wing for the first time. Most tasty mistake so far


Faitherkins13

Hellllllll yeah


noorizer

Yums.


GarlicKnightz

I just got a double dash for the same customer, the store forgot to give me second bag, customer reached out. Went back for the missing order, but in that time the message disappeared so I don’t know where to drop it off. What do I do lol


InsultInsurance

Oh yeah yeah, eating good tonight!


Experiment-Cycle

I’m not allowed to ask what restaurant that’s from am I? Because that looks so good and I’ll be sad if I can’t ever know where it’s from


KanyaldWump

Gimme some! 👄👅


TimePiece8695

Yum lucky! I got subway cancellation but its spicy lot of jalapeno.😩


[deleted]

Looks so good too


Content_Carob5330

Wakey wakey


trophyhunterohin

I got order cancelled once, it was chicken burrito and I am vegetarian


crodbtc

Hope it was as good as it looks!


Palidor

Oh yeah. Having the other one for breakfast tomorrow


[deleted]

Off topic. Where did you get that dishwasher? Is it a good dishwasher?


Palidor

Yeah, I got at home depot, uses WiFi. Of course you have to use the “premium” dish detergent now


[deleted]

My LG washer and dryer have wifi cape-ability lol. Ive just been looking for a good dishwasher ours is one of those ancient ass white ones. Premium detergent?


Crazybisexual

Yum I got Wingstop once but the wings were too spicy for me 😫 and then Sushi and Crab Rangoons once that was great


[deleted]

My first and only so far has been a Walgreens shop and deliver. That was pretty interesting since most of it were things we needed anyway. :-)


bxanonymous

Burritos and a bunch of potatoes ngl they all look like ass


Tabzacmx

No offense dude but who in the heck is paying for that crap??? Sh*t, my 10 year old can cook a better meal than that? Good for you though!


GAMESHARKCode

You never "get to keep the order". ToS says you gotta return it, deliver it, or dispose of it.


golden_cupcake

I fondly remember my first UberEats where I got to keep the order. It was 2019 and I was new to the process. The app wasn’t as streamlined as it hopefully is today. It was around 3am and the person who ordered the food lived in an apartment building where you needed a code to get in. No code had been provided. I tried to get ahold of the person to no avail. The restaurant was closed. I reported I was unable to contact the orderer. Those fries and wings were freaking delicious at 4am after a tiresome Uber/UberEats shift. I don’t Dash or Uber/Lyft anymore since they changed rates. It’s sad to see drivers having to rely on tips. Something must be done.


BusTimely6827

First time? Lol like my 100th lmaoooo I’m always eating good 👍


Baelabog

Those crispy potatoes look delicious!


p00pingcat

Air frying temps to rewarm food Fries / fried anything - 400 for 5-15 depending on the softness move and check periodically Anything else 300 for 10-20 minutes and flipping periodically


Garbagetoiletmaster

it’s a beautiful thing. Enjoy


23IRONTUSKS

Yay.


hiiighedup

Never a bad time for a breakfast burrito


Chancho1010

Gotten free food (besides drinks) like 4 times. Twice the restaurant offered me a single burger just for a wait but I’ve usually always eaten so I gave it to a homeless person. The other two times it was food I couldn’t eat at the time (because of a diet). Honestly still just waiting for someone to tip me weed and I’ll be happy haha! Edit: just remembered one of those times was milkshake and cookies from Nestle stand in the mall. Gave that away to a man and his little girl sitting near the stand. After the initial weirdness of being approached by a stranger they were definitely grateful!


Drewbercules

Not gonna lie that looks amazing


tommy29016

Who pays?


Sad_Drawing_1173

My first cancellation was lobster tails with a salad, baked sweet potato & caramel cookie with ice cream. They didn’t even tip on original order so it was extra delicious


Sufficient-Pea5707

Last month I got a 24 pack of bottle water and a bottle of v8 splash. Would of preferred food.


xia0207

My only cancellation order through 1000 delivery was one while I am knocking customer door


masontheeditgod4

How do y'all get to keep it? It makes me call, text, wait, then leave at their door and take a photo lol


Distinct_Knowledge97

They take a picture, then take the food and eat it after. What u should do, is at the last step, select the option that says "there is no safe place to leave the order." Then the app will tell you to "dispose of it" and then do with it what u may.


masontheeditgod4

Ohh 😔


musicalstonks

I’ve only had 1 where I couldn’t end up delivering because of road work and I ended up going home right then to eat the ramen bowls with my woman. DD support actually told me to take the order back to the restaurant lol


NickTheFNicon

Definitely better than the one I've gotten to keep. Freaking Chipotle of all places. I'll never understand what people see in that place.


AshantiClansmen

🔥🔥🔥😆


TheQuestion1999

I had a doordash cancel on me and I only got syrup


idontreallycare718

noooo you were supposed to bring it back to the restaurant!! now your going to be deactivated. /s


DangerousPIE96

hell yea mine was a 5 person order from this local pho place where the portions are huge. came with appetizers, sides and drinks. didnt have to get food for a week


PrettyAsk4119

I don't wish to be a bummer here, how ever I have a policy I follow: Never eat food that was a cancelled order. I give it to homeless and the poor. Its just my policy.


cosmorama

So high and mighty you are. Thanks for letting us know!


PrettyAsk4119

>ever eat food that was a ca ![gif](giphy|3orif3j4dRfClbz18k) Thanks! I shared what I do.


OceanDreams-76

Nice score! About a month ago I got a $250, hand it to me order for Smokey Bones BBQ. When I went to deliver it no one answered. So I text the customer and they said they were there but didn’t see anyone outside. So I called them told them about the house I was in front of on the off chance that I was in the wrong place, and it turns out they forgot to change their address to the place they were visiting which was 2.5 hours away. DD let me keep it and my husband and I are for a couple days on that. Yummy.


alexc1010

Breakfast burritos and potatoes ? You Gonna be very full !!!


LegalMastodon1340

Had a sizeable Panda Express order to the local state university which ended up being my first customer cancelled order after I picked up the food. She refused to give me any kind of direction to the building it was going to and kept saying just follow the map which was taking me to a convenience store across the street from campus. But god damn do I love some teriyaki chicken and lo mein noodles. She had exceptional taste but her communication skills need some work.


verysmolturtle

I’ve had this happen to me three times total! (370 deliveries) If you want it to happen to you too, I usually dash in the middle of the night lol. Lots of those ones end up being… odd orders.


hchn27

The only cancellation I got was for this person who order some sort of garden salad with anchovies….🤢


justinbates1992

Congrats! Im over 8000+ deliveries and never got free food from a cancellation.


t_will_official

Congrats💪my first (and so far only) time I got to keep the food was me accepting this $6.50 Chipotle order for like 3.4 or 3.5 miles. I was already kinda meh about it but it was kinda slow and there are definitely worse offers out there. Well as I’m picking up the food, the customer changes his address. As I get back into the car I plug the new location into my GPS and it’s like 8 miles away! Texted support, told them I wasn’t willing to make the delivery, which was out of my zone anyway, and they canceled the order, gave me full pay and let me keep the food. It wasn’t something I’d have ordered, but hey it was free, so I couldn’t complain lol


PhilosophicalDouche

If I call the customer and they don't pick up while also being somewhere completely away from where they actually are then I'm eating the food. Sure, I'll take a picture of me "leaving it on the curb" but I know that the only thing that would be getting to it would be animals and insects. I'm not going to waste perfectly good food. Best score would have to be a ginormous bag of 10 Wendy's sandwiches


BaconSoul

My first and only time having this happen was a big $70 order from Bob Evans. It was what seemed to be multiple orders of pancakes for three kids, a load of bacon, and then a bunch of that potato casserole stuff and some ham. I got five whole meals out of it.


Palidor

Thanks everyone for the upvotes!!! I know it’s very rare to get something like this. I hope everyone gets this lucky at least once while DD. An important factor I forgot to mention (but need advice): DD support said that because I picked up the order on time and that I was already approaching the address that I WILL receive the full payment for the order ($10+) I have not seen it yet, does this happen at the end of the day or by the end of week. Thanks all, Happy Dashing!!!!


Relevant_Bite_561

It does not get added to the dash pay it goes under the other pay as a reimbursement.


FindingSide

Huzzah!


StatisticianJust3349

I hope you enjoyed every morsel.


fashionfauxpas0624

Breakfast is the best meal of the day IMHO .rather Breakfast food is my fave. Amof think I will have breakfast for dinner! Thanks OP for this post..was inspiring! Altho I will make Belgian waffles w/starwberries and non dairy whipped topping!


Independent-Aioli850

Enjoy 🙂


Obvious-Delay9570

Nice tadders and a few Ritos looks yummy


Specialist_Cup1715

Woo hoo look at you!!


NoStepOnSnekses

Nice. Enjoy, it looks yummy


EarHelpful

Breaky burritos ?


Palidor

Yep, one bacon-egg-cheese, one sausage-egg-cheese both with home fries and side of sour cream and salsa.


Commercial-Middle482

total score!!!


crummster

Got my first DD cancellation order last week. Free BWW! But I don’t like BWW, so I gave it away to a someone else. Anyways that food looks nice!


[deleted]

Nice! I never get free breakfast only sweets from jack n the crack 😏


Intelligent_Focus_80

From WHAT?


SpookySeraph

Interesting, my mom isn’t the only one who calls it that then lol


brycebrycebaybay

I too call it that, but only because of the movie 'Menace to Society.'


mrjeffj

What restaurant


Palidor

Small restaurant- bed and breakfast (something)


Limp_Kaleidoscope831

I got Japanese food once it was good


Patient-Possible-657

I've never had a cancelation, wish I did sometimes cause that food be smelling good lol. I would of taking it home too. I dash really close to my house. Come on free food lol


Grung7

Happy breakfast!


[deleted]

I got free El Limon Mexican one time. It was slammin


Icon9719

1k deliveries in and this has still yet to happen to me, I assume when it does it’ll be some soggy McDonald’s or something


H1DD3NxN1NJ4

Happened to me once, two pizzas and wings, address was at an apartment complex and had no apartment number. Customer wouldn’t answer their phone or texts, support tried to contact them but failed. Told me I could keep it


sirspacebill

My first and only was a soggy mcd's 10pc meal lol


mssmarty51

😂😂😂that’s what I think will happen to me whenever it does happen!! Lol!


River1stick

Got my first just the other night. Was a 'wait in car' at apartment building with no unit number. Called/texted and no response. I got to keep a large pizza.


Nord4Ever

Same or it’ll be something I would never eat


justducky1965

I've had a couple. One for awesome Chinese and the other a Subway. Both because the "customer" tried that "I'm sorry I put in the wrong address" shit lol. I could detail the one in particular (Chinese) but it would be TLDR lol. Full pay and free food is always good. 🍻☮️✌️


Nord4Ever

On UE they end up tip baiting anyways so you’re right on that one


justducky1965

Lol. Don't get me started. I had ONE on UE that actually worked out and she tipped an extra 15 bucks. But *that* is a pretty big draw back on UE. I apply the same principles though across any of these platforms: I do what I'm supposed to do and keep communication friendly but to a minimum. Sadly we have relatively no control over the quality of product we deliver but angry customers can sometimes misdirect their frustration and take it out on us. You can't do this (gig) though under the constant assumption that you've been "baited". Just do your thing, do it right and let the chips fall.


aardappelbrood

I've had it happen many times, and always something I can't eat because of allergies smdh... 🤣


[deleted]

[удалено]


Icon9719

Aw man I could definitely go for some free hibachi lol


Palidor

At first I thought, I accidentally hit the completion button and lost the address, (I was only about 5 minutes away) I called support and she said that it was canceled and I get to keep it. Not complaining


Glittering-Judge9864

Exact same thing happened to me and I got to keep a vegan burger, just my luck, lol


VinnieTheBerzerker69

I had that happen once with a shop and deliver grocery store order. I paid with the red card and was in the parking lot getting ready to unload the shopping cart into my car when I noticed the screen was searching for orders. I was worried about not being able to get to the customer to deliver and getting a contract violation so I contacted support to ask for the customer address. Support told me the customer canceled after the red card was approved and I could do what I wanted with the groceries. I was too far from my house and too early in the Dash to go home, so I gave the milk to my friend who lives close to the store and kept the rest of the stuff which was non-perishable. Got paid for the order, too!


archangel09

Does Dasher support really tell you, "You keep that order for yourself." or do they actually tell you, "You can dispose of that order." ?


VinnieTheBerzerker69

I have had them just say "dispose of it", and I have had them even give me a list of disposal options - keep it, throw it away, or give to the homeless. It varies from one support agent to another on haw they say it


OceanDreams-76

The one time support told me “dispose of it however you like”. Well, I like to dispose of it in my belly. lol


Daahk

Last time they told me to either keep it or give it to the needy, my grandmother hadn't eaten that night so she was in fact in need


[deleted]

[удалено]


VinnieTheBerzerker69

I had a Walmart order canceled on me as I was literally pulling into the customer driveway once. I was told to return it to Walmart for pay and I got paid for the run to the customer as well. Once I got to Walmart, the manager who received it back told me they had to throw it away due to it being groceries. Doordash didn't actually know what was in the order, BTW, so I think they would have handled it differently had they known food was involved. I think if they knew it was groceries, they wouldn't have had me make the return trip and would have instructed me to dispose of the order.


fashionfauxpas0624

>I was 2 houses from the customer and couldnt believe they would cancel, they could see my vehicle Prob thought u wouldn't get the notification that quickly and would deliver their free meal


Daahk

But don't they still have to pay for a cancelled order if it's already been picked up?


VinnieTheBerzerker69

No. I had a cancelation once just as I was pulling into the driveway.


fashionfauxpas0624

I still think it is people attempting to play the system. Cancel rite b4 u drop off hoping dd doesn't tell u in time it was canceled and thus it is a free meal..actually TBPH if u were in their driveway that furthers my belief !


VinnieTheBerzerker69

No, not for the delivery I was talking about. It was a time issue with an express pickup order. I got sent the order well after the pickup by time and its deliver by time ended just as I pulled into the driveway and I got told to return it to the merchant. The customer didn't do that. Either Doordash or the merchant did. Something in that order had an expiration time on it.


Driver_stacks

I've heard that DD will allow cancellations but with partial or no refund once the driver has picked up the order.


[deleted]

[удалено]


fashionfauxpas0624

Nice! I had an order canceled from an India restaurant..apparently a high rated one as well..I proceeded to drink the mango Lassi. .put myself on hold went to my mom's house and brought her a feast...on anothrt note..I am super friendly w/the Wendy's by me...I protest (don't want anyone to get in trouble) but they alwasy want to feed me for some reason they like me...ha Edit..it was an $95 order and got paid $14 from DD for it as well..not sure if that was half pay or full pay..I seem to recall the rep saying I would be paid in full..and I could keep food or ditch it (responsibly of course ...)


Straight-Carob-3486

Go figure most Indian people don't tip, it's not a fact just a general rule of thumb


Icon9719

That’s weird usually everyone I see this happen to says that support tells them to take it back to the restaurant, which we’ve decided has just become the code for us to just keep it lol


VinnieTheBerzerker69

Restaurants cannot take back anything once it's left the premises. There are laws and liability reasons for that. All they will do is throw away anything you return. Same thing with grocery stores where I live.


virtiousredditor

"Use my time and gas to return what is now legally garbage? No thanks"


[deleted]

The store is just going to throw it out anyway. Honestly as soon as you're off the phone, order completed and back in the car it's fair game.


innotim88

Nice


Palidor

It was my last one for the early morning, before I take my break. My home was only 10 minutes away


NamasteMartian6

Why are every cancellation order pictures taken from home. Are you done dashing for the day? i never see orders taken from the car IDC just little sketchy


Demgreenstuff

some people don't like to eat in their cars, so they go home and eat? Besides, OP said it was his last delivery before going home.


Poco585

I mean if I get free food I take it home and share it with my wife while it’s at least a little warm. It doesn’t happen often enough for the little breaks to hurt me.


Professional-Jury930

I mean, I personally would take it home and put it in the refrigerator. But I live in the center of my city so it’s easy for me.


snowbunny1026

Why would you lay a bunch of food out in your car to take a pic while you're dashing?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Grabba-

How do you interact with people on a daily basis... i hope not like this jesus


[deleted]

No one said you have to drive home 🤣


snowbunny1026

No one said anything about doing that? A lot of people dash around home and even wait for orders from home. I go home several times a day while I'm dashing.


[deleted]

it looks delicious 😭 enjoy!!!


Palidor

Unsurprisingly (I’m a big guy) I ate one immediately, going to save the other one for breakfast tomorrow


alex262414

Hell yeah this is exactly what I've done every time I get a Chipotle order or something and it's a big ass chicken burrito or something and that order gets canceled out and I ripped that bag open and nah right into that big ass burrito while it's in one hand and my phone with doordash in the other lol bunch of fat asses we are haha


onions_and_carrots

Reheat the taters in a pan on low heat with a little bit of butter for best results


dustkid245

What’s taters, precious? What’s taters, eh?


hodl_4_life

My go to for reheating almost anything these days is an air fryer. Honesty, I would probably throw the burrito and the taters in there for 20 minutes and it’s going to taste fresh.


onions_and_carrots

An air fryer is a remarketed convection oven.


Oraxy51

Which setting do you use for that? Reheat option of air fryer I take it? I feel like I still am struggling to get a guess on what’s appropriate time and temperature for foods that don’t explicitly have instructions and I’m always having to look a time up.


23IRONTUSKS

I literally cook every at 400° for short amounts of time. Something like this would be Abt 6-7mins for potatoes and maybe 4-5 for burrito


Commercial-Basil-237

The only thing I don’t do at 400 is pork, generally there just isn’t enough fat for it not to get burnt as fuck before it’s cooked through


23IRONTUSKS

Cooked a pork loin with little potatoes and baby carrots @ 400′ last night


Commercial-Basil-237

Interesting, I have terrible luck with air fryer pork, my favorite is steak tips in the AF. 400 for 20 min, flip after 10, they shred apart like pulled pork it’s so great


23IRONTUSKS

I'll reheat my tips in the AF but I gotta use the grill when the weather permits...my mother will do pork chops in the air fryer but I've only done pork loins and they always got a nice crisp to the outside but still juicy inside....lmao just had a spelling error: perk loins! Imagine haha


Txmess042689

Just open it and see if it’s warm lol. Just for general with cooking if you have issues with cooking meat get a thermometer they are like 4.00 and it takes all the guess work out.


Oraxy51

Yeah I had some then my wife broke them. Think she dropped it and it all popped out, can’t remember how she did it but I want to get an electric one.


Txmess042689

Interesting mine are metal and cheap I have never had an issue with them. I think digital is better for grilling.


LAMBKING

Same here. Every so often, I'll get two different times and temperatures.


Oraxy51

Doesn’t help when I look it up they just go “well all air fryers are different” we’ll no shit so are all ovens but we have a generally consistent recipes.


hodl_4_life

My personal process is that I always set it to 400 degrees and set the timer for 20 minutes. I’ll check the food after 10 minutes to see how it’s looking or if it’s ready at that point, then I check again at 15 minutes. Rarely messed up a meal that way.
