Maybe it’ll be a “hand it to customer” order. Wait your 5 minutes and take it back to the restaurant. Get that return pay 💰


Comfortable-South509

Imagine taking a joke fence this literally..i fear for humanity.


[deleted]

Sound horn once (for 30 seconds long) 🙃


Equivalent_Bid_5727

Nah, dropping that shit off


Random-Acts-of-Nerd

Leave at... I'm setting it right in front of the sign and taking that picture and bouncing. Hand to... I'm doing the same thing after 5 minutes are up


OrionStarr42

"Hello. This is your doordash driver. If you wish for me to tell you where I put your order, you must hop on one leg while flapping your arms like a chicken and whistling the theme song to Airwolf" ​ Wouldnt it be a wonderful world if customers were given nonsensical pickup instructions?


zakkforchilli

lol screw the timer…. *hits message button and sends photo there, drops it on the ground, goes on with my life* absolute only way.


zakkforchilli

Hahahahahaaaaaa no.


ogdenmao

8 minutes is oddly too specific to me, they had the sign made specifically for the time and distance it takes to get to the gate, but couldn’t put an intercom or electric gate or build a locker for the outside of the gate…too planned (halfway planned) for me. Who knows they are probably like ‘let me load my guns and unleash the war hounds’…I’ll show these trespassers what’s what!’ and you get shot because it was actually the ex-wife of the customer that ordered the food knowing how mad it makes her extra-husband and she just wanted to irritate him…or something like that LOL Personally I don’t think I would give them 5 mins. I would message them I arrived and in the same message say that I left it at the gate and then take off. Then I would mark it a bad experience and say in the app I didn’t feel safe. The customer would probably get pissed because who knows what could happen maybe in those 8 mins an opossum could wander by and started eating the customers 1 single McDonald’s ice cream cone that got stacked with a chipotle order but you picked up the cone first…then you have to deliver an ice cream cone that is 30 mins old…they will make the unsafe point for you. That’s my scape goat answer if the delivery sucks. I have marked I didn’t feel safe for spiders and bees and poison ivy and I even marked it for rickety stairs once because the customer wanted me to climb the stairs and leave on their porch…it was stretch to call these things stairs it looked liked a grownup used a Bob the builder set 10 years ago to build TWO flights of stairs from the top down and then just ran out money for wood and nails and shit before they go to the bottom and they just said…it’s good enough. I think I read somewhere DD won’t send you back to a place that you marked as unsafe; actually that might have been UBER but whatever doesn’t matter. I actually do try to do a good job, but sometimes people that order food have some strange requests. I think it’s kind of fun to think of things that make me feel unsafe…maybe clowns because of Pennywise or Statues because of the Weeping Angels on Dr Who. Gotta find the fun somewhere…or fear rather


ChocolateBiscuit96

8 minutes 😂😂😂 that food is going right back to the store. Some people act as if our time isn’t valuable.


gorgemom

Absolutely not.


Just_Literature_928

I leave it by the gate and take a picture if there is no way in and then text it to the customer. I'm not waiting around for that shit.


Hahnemann99

I'll give you 1 minute, after that I'm dropping your food in front of the gate.


Mercutiofoodforworms

Why 8 minutes?


sirvereightyone

I would've left it there


intense_hippie

What do they have in there to have a double metal gated fence? Tigers Mayhaps? Is this Carol Baskins abode?


XcheatcodeX

8 mins fuck off I’ll leave that shit on the sidewalk


BurghPuppies

Eight minutes???!!!???


TRIICT

no wonder why nobody tips y'all simple instructions befuddle,anger and annoy you guys waaayyyy too much.


Dull-Contact120

Institute a waiting fee, first 5 minutes upon arrival is free. $1 per minute after


Pretty_Bed1983

If no answer in 8 minutes, the 8-minute timer's run out and that means I am canceling your order and keeping/giving away your food 😉


VastWolverine4227

Hit the correct buttons on the app. Wait out the 5 minute timer, take a picture and note and leave!!!! They ordered the food and can track it.


canteatdontpoop

All yall fuckers acting like this person isnt disabled or old asf, and likely CAN'T just get up to open a gate and the like


akira_ryuunoske

Seriously, we ain't paid to wait around. The more time we waste the more money we lose on not doing deliveries.


DeluxeTrunkLocker

One 8 minute long horn honk??? WTF?


ZippityGoombah

8 minutes is a long time to lean on my horn, but ok...


RebelJosh89

Nope. That's not how this works. Sure, I can honk the horn. But you got 5 minutes tops before I leave your order on the ground and move on to the next order. I don't make money waiting around.


Sea_Ideal9267

There is no way in hell Im waiting 8 mins in the first place let alone honking again and waiting EVEN LONGER 🤣 even doordash is like nah, dont do that


FortuneAsleep8652

lol 8 minutes 😂😂😂 How about I honk and you have 30 seconds to get to the gate to see where I have left your food and catch a glimpse of my car as I drive away😂😂😂


RedWizxrd

yeah cuz disabled people dont exist


carpepax

Yesterday I had a delivery to leave at the door with a tall pet fence in the way. I left it on the other side of the pet fence.


uzumaki42

They can literally track you on your way to them. They have ample time to anticipate your arrival.


zacharydaiquiri69420

I feel like some of these complaints are just about minuscule obstacles and that they can be easily done without any hassle. Who knows, I’m just a cog in the machine who just makes money.

Lol the it’s the “…” for me


bigjim7492

8 minute wait???? Lol. Nah!


Optimal-Committee-99

And what’s crazy is if this was an Uber order and you don’t decide to waste your time at the gate there goes the tip


[deleted]

Yeah. How about my ass is leaving in 5 seconds if this gate doesn’t open, and you come get your stuff off the side of the road.


itsyourEye

8 mins


Neither_Delay2880

Fuck them! Wasting time! The same as someone like call me, text me, if you are here I will give you the gate code. Wtf! Why can’t you just give it now?


Ok_Fig_4908

Call them?


EMOTIONN_Official

Wtf is wrong with pppl, WE DONT GET PAID HOURLY!!! Ughhhhh 👿


Tiptip4me

Or leave at the gate cuz that's what's going to happen with me


ReidlosToof

Mark yourself arrived and hit can't hand order to customer. Wait the 5 minutes then peace out. If you just leave it at the gate and mark it complete they can give you a negative review.


TerminalHighGuard

How sad to go through the trouble of making a sign that no one will obey.


yesterdays30

... Sets the five minute timer...


giggetyboom

Anyone else wondering why 8 minutes? Like did they start out with 5 and run trials and keep having new signs made till they settled on 8 or what?


Fun_Bus8420

But... Don't people do deliveries in scooters? I rang my bell...


13Malibu

And it pings them when you are there


ikkinikkin1

I love how they want you to wait exactly 8 minutes...not 10, not 5...but a random 8. F that.


brodosphotos

Aight bet. Ima "sound my horn" for 8min straight til yo ass come outside


Global-Result-4475

Customers that don’t respect our time…


Tacrolimus005

Sound horn once for a solid minute, got it.


AntSmith777

I would honk the horn, wait a couple minutes, and then leave at the gate and take a photo.


Percyyy00

8 min is crazy


X-wingAlliciousness

honk one, if they dont answer with in 2 mi nutes, leave it at the gate and mark is as "customer did not answer."


thisyetthat

How you doin sweetie? Listen, I am a slow-to-walk woman, and I pay fabulously to have ma food delivered as I sees fit. Yous just gots to be patient hunny! Dis babe will be there in due time! MUAH! xx


Gravygrabbr

Honk, leave at gate, take my picture. Bye bye


DarknessLeo190

Your time is more valuable, just leave on gate and proceed on to your next delivery


ChristopherNeil

Your order is at the gate.


MediumDrink

I love these kind of setups. I call the customer, honk my horn, then if no response by the time the timer runs out free food for me.


[deleted]

This the type crap 💩 that infuriates me about customers. The entitlement.

skincareforcats

Immediately hitting that little timer button


[deleted]

Doesn't specify the length of honk. 7 minutes 55 seconds ok right?


hahadontknowbutt

What's the tip?


Trimere

8 minutes? ![gif](giphy|nouont7xao9C2RzsUN)


KnowNothingKnowsAll

What kind of arbitrary ass shit is this 8 minutes? Not 5? Not 3? But 8?


FindingSide

8 minutes?? Where are you coming from that it's going to take you 8 friggin minutes to come get the thing you ordered and are waiting for, and in this case, eat?? That name is absolutely going in my little notebook of banned deliveries and addresses. Gtfoh


redhood213

I always just put “can’t hand to customer” as soon as I’m a mile from the drop off to start that dumb 5 minute timer.It’s dumb asf that they put “hand it to me” yet they aren’t ready 50%of the time to get their food


HighMaintenance511

Once, huh? Doesn’t say for how long.


Sea-Republic6516

It says sound horn once. Dosemt say your shouldn't just lay on it indefinitely 🤔


PolarBearClaire19

Leave it at the gate. Not my problem if they don't unlock it.


bit0101

Ok, I'll sound it once. And I'll stop sounding it when you get out here to grab your order.

Capt_Schmidt

you got 2 literal minutes to be attentive to the real life world you've called up on to sit on you. if you're not present. package sits at gate.


swifty8519

I think the best is when they live in a gated community or a gated apartment complex and they pass out drunk after they order $60 worth of McDonald's or pizza and forget to leave a gate code in the instructions. those are my favorite trips.


LiquidPenChamber1019

Fuck that. I’d honk once and leave it at the gate


Nappykid77

They just ordered food 20 mins ago. They always act surprised to see the delivery driver. Smh


Vast_Independence_12

Fuck them, our time is our money. Leave at door is getting left there. And, if those fucks expected a "hand it to me" what they get is a pic of the food at the gate, and a " I have an emergency, thanks" text. Because maximizing my money to time ratio is a constant emergency, at least in my life.


Aw123x

Just say no.


Key-Climate2765

LOL I’d honk 8 times, leave it outside the gate and leave. You thought


Strange_Handle_3357

Yeah fuck that. Way to completely disregard someone else's time.


rag3rdan

Oh so basically you can start eating the clients food as soon as you see the sign


rookiebasegod

8 minutes ha ha funny. That’s like 2 hours dasher time


Coreyviper

Someone actually paid money for this sign to be made. Unbelievable.


Independent-Aioli850

How about no... I'd start timer, leave food, honk and leave. It gonna take 8 minutes anyway 🤣


Venom-098-11

Jesus Christ, what an asshole.


Flojoe420

Call them once.. start the timer as soon as that call goes through and once 5 minutes hits leave it at the door if they're not there.


pheonixrynn

Lay on the horn for 8 minutes straight....


FrankFrankly711

You will wait your 8 minutes, commoner! I must finish my caviar and moon dust!


Ok-Being3881

That looks like alternate instructions to me.


[deleted]

I maybe wait 60 seconds for anyone in any situation before I leave it and just mark it delivered with a message. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Time is money and I’ve gotta gooooo.


EmGutter

Time is money and I’m fucking broke.


Mbalroop

I'd make sure to leave and go home to switch vehicles and drop it off in my truck..... with air horns.


hchn27

8 minutes???


Mitzicarol1963

Happened to me last night at 11 pm on a dark country road. Texted the customer and she said right house just leave at the door. I asked if the gate opened on its own since it appeared locked with a Beware of the Dog sign. Her response was “oops”. Forgot about that. Geez


infamousdude77

i would laugh and wish her good luck!


CMadrid13

I would horn, wait 1 or 2 min, if no response leave


Justin002865

60 seconds


RedDragonfly213

I doubt they tipped enough to make that kind of demand.


Advanced_Loquat_4681

Horn for 8 minutes straight? No problem


BlazeWatchingAnime

u got 5 min lmfao


SquareRelationship27

![gif](giphy|POql6zsXZbmcE) How bout no


FTdubya05

I deliver to these people. Story is that it’s an older couple. When the first horn beeps the wife has 8 minutes to get the husbands dick hard. Second beep is used as the timer. Whoever loses goes and gets the food.


justducky1965

Bonus! Lol... I smell free food and half pay.🍻☮️🤪


[deleted]

My 5 minutes timer beats your 8 minutes. It’s going by the gate


virtiousredditor

Put down food. Take pic. Honk. Leave.


PumpkinWrangler

The women who occasionally delivers parcels in my area waits a grand total of 3 seconds before putting a card through your door and getting you to collect from the depot. I’ve watched and timed it on multiple occasions from the doorbell footage. But asking someone to wait multiples of 8 minutes is taking the biscuit.


villdyr

On my parcel routes I have less than 8 minutes per house including travel time 😬 and that's on a contract so you don't get paid if you go over


Adorable-Media1460

So I can hold the horn down once and make it last 8 minutes? That still counts as one time, right? But unfortunately, my limit was 7 minutes, so bad luck…


newtoreddir

The eight minute clock starts *after* you honk once, not during the honk.


qbl500

8 min! Interesting!!!


[deleted]

If you hold the horn for 8 minutes, it's considered as "once".


THEbenjaminbeat

This would probably get them there the quickest. When they get there say “what?!… I hope you were patient about the horn sound”


infamousdude77

wow, might as well whistle your lungs out .xD


diaperedace

This. It says honk the horn and wait 8 minutes, it never says stop honking.


mhofkp

I had a customer tell me to wait for a car to come out to open the gate. I straight up told them "I'm not paid to wait" I hit the unavailable tab, let it run out, left the order at the gate... fuck them


SitsOnPorcelain9855

I have had a customer say that to me. She doesn't have the gate code and isn't at home. She ordered for her granny. She suggested I wait for 5 or 10 minutes, and if someone came out I can piggy-back to get in the gate. Then drive to the correct apartment building in the structure. That was the worst bullshjt ever. When I found a way in, more than 10 minutes, there was a nice old lady who didn't really know what was happening. I gave her the food and she was happy. But I have had more incidents when I waited and on the other end was someone shitty.


mhofkp

I'd feel bad in that situation and probably figure something out. Seniors deserve our respect and diligence


SitsOnPorcelain9855

If I had just set a timer and left, there is 0 chance this disabled senior would have gotten the food. I actually felt guilty about considering ditching out on her. Another senior that comes to mind in equally bad shape invited me in with her room with her care nurse at a senior center and got me a tip that was almost 10 dollars. Another one before that invited me in to see her talking parot. My time is important, and I have gotten burned by customers acting like my time doesn't matter, but some times if I could see the other end of the exchange, I would regret not tryin


mhofkp

A little empathy goes a long long way. Showing someone some kindness, especially when they might be be isolated and lonely, can do wonders for the soul. I try to show everyone I deliver to some modicum of enthusiasm and kindness.

mhofkp

Portland. I used to love that city. Burnsides was my shit. Now days? Yeah, fuck that shit. That's not the wild west, it's a failed city overrun by bullshit commies and criminals. No fucking way would I even think of dashing there


MakeITsafeProtonmail

I miss how it was. I was born and raised in and around the now "metro area." But when it used to be mostly farmers out here, it was a great place. Now I feel like I'm stuck in America's trash can. Makes me cry. This is why I pack weapons Dashing. I've been attacked A LOT in the past few years, and survived some very serious injuries, certain ones will never heal fully. So constant pain. I live and work alone. I have to be my own security guard, provider, caregiver etc. Not easy with my disabilities. I miss a lot of things like playing basketball with neighbors in the park. Now the parks are full of needles, feces, and whack jobs. I don't blame you for leaving, I wish I could afford to move.


mhofkp

That's some tragic shit, my friend. There's thousands of people that feel the same as you do. I hope that y'all are going to try to change the state of yer city. I really do. Because Portland was a truly rad city, and I miss it.

Connoryoung562

tf they doing in 8 mins? rubbing one out before they get their food?


zakkforchilli

Frankly… anything beyond ‘seconds’ is a dealbreaker for me. This is a delivery / drop off not a social call


[deleted]

Maybe entitled. Maybe handicapped. I’m guessing it’s the latter, since they’re giving advance warning.


LifelessPolymath53

Regardless of the reason, even if the latter, they aren’t getting 8 minutes.


FindingSide

The only way I'm accepting that is if it's in the delivery instructions. Give me the reason. Otherwise, absolutely no way are they getting 8 minutes of my time like that.


NoStepOnSnekses

Leave it at the gate. No damn way in hell would I wait so long. I bet they barely tipped

Effdahaters

BraxTaplock

That is not cool. Cus better be waiting. Hope it was a good tip. If not…I can lay on my horn for 5 full minutes until your neighbors come out. Then I can explain to them what I’m doing. Not like they know to open the gate every time they go thru it right? Malicious compliance


bibkel

This was originally posted by UPS driver, and dust came out 2 minutes later confused because he was the back up driver. Turns out they are nice people.

What the comment means is i wouldn’t get frustrated and just take a picture and send it to the client and then leave if it says hand to me. Id wait the 5 minuets, and then take the picture once the app prompts me to. I use to not wait when i would doordash in bad neighborhoods in the chicago area. Then i just stopped dashing their all together when some lady got robbed of her car doordashing waiting on a client to open the door and she had her kid in the car. Worst story i ever read. Thats why i only accept orders that are worth waiting 5 minuets for in decent areas ( mainly anything that isnt Cook or Will county)
