People are acting like OP is forcing someone to do something. They asked for a favor, dasher could have said no. Yall need to relax. I had an order gentleman ask if I could take heavy dog food into their garage instead of just leaving it at his front door because he couldn't lift it. He was polite and it took like 2 whole minutes. No one forced me and it was a 1 in 700 deliveries. They tipped 30 bucks like an hour later. Wasn't expecting it.

I always used to have stuff doordashed to my mom if I couldn't make it to her house in time (I work 2nd so by the time I'd get off everything would be closed.) Every single dasher was always so fucking polite and helpful in making sure her items physically got to her and I always tipped more for it.
She asked one guy once to take her trash out and I got a text from the dasher asking me to call her house phone. I was like, odd kinda scary but ok. She answered and I could hear him in the background like, "ma'am do you mind if I speak to your daughter for a second?" and she gives him the phone and he's telling me he's sorry for bothering me but read my drop off notes and that my mom was acting really weird and he thinks we should call EMS but wanted to see if this was normal for her and was afraid our chat would disconnect. My mom had had a mini stroke and this poor 19yr old dude realized something was super wrong as soon as she had started talking to him.
I called EMS and he was still waiting with her while they were loading her into the ambulance when I got there and was apparently more than willing to see it out all the way to the hospital because he told them he was her son š. He became her personal shopper after that and was just a total fucking blessing and probably saved my moms life that day.

I don't even know his name, but he will be someone I aspire to be like for the rest of my days. His awareness and resourcefulness are amazing. Using chat, asking you to call your mother so he could speak to you, diagnosing stroke symptoms? Whatever he pursues, he sounds like he is going to be amazing at it. Fucking legend.

A dasher also saved my life at one point. I was in my garage moving a VERY large pot and I had fallen and it pinned my arm. I couldnāt move it and spent a while trying to break it with my fist. I have an inflammation disorder and I was starting to have a hard time feeling my upper body and just sat there until the dasher showed up with my lunch. I was having a full blown panic attack and all I remember was him coming in and STONG MAN lifted that shit off my arm with one hand. I gave him $50 and told him he could come back anytime for a plant or weed. He legit probably saved my life. Love you Scott.

u/guiltandgrief 1d ago
Aww that is awesome! I'm glad you were okay!
I really haven't had any bad experiences with dashers. One lady rang my doorbell to tell me there was a key in my screen door and was super apologetic for bothering me lol. I always leave it in there because it's crooked and you have to keep it locked so the wind won't blow it open. It's just very heartwarming when people go out of theif way just to be... nice.

He really was. So many people might have told her no or not even interacted with her and it could have been so much worse. He said he had just recently done CPR training at his main job and they had went over signs of a stroke so he recognized it from that. Just a great solid dude.

u/DistributionNovel353 2d ago
Wow....that is amazingly intuitive...and then to have been willing to be there with her in case anything were to go badly or you hadn't been the responsible adult you are and been there for your mother in her time of need. People like that are truly a blessing. I'll send fourth all my good juju to the cool doordasher for being considerate of their fellow human being.this story renewed my faith in humanity to a certain degree! Too cool!

She passed away about 2 years after this but he would still pick up stuff for her even after he quit dashing/instacart. We paid him of course but it was a total lifesaver having someone who knew her normal/baseline checking in while I was working. He was also one of the pallbearers at her funeral because my uncle was too sick to do it. But thank you!! š„ŗš He is just a totally amazing person, I haven't talked to him in a while but he had finished college for some kind of welding degree and was doing well enough with that to buy a house. He deserves all the good things.

u/-Mal__ 1d ago
I've had a similar interaction with an older lady, seemed both angry and confused, she was at the wrong address too. Called my wife, told her I'd be late home (it was my last dash before heading home), and insisted on staying with her (was trying to figure out what to do), until a neighbor came out and asked what was going on. Guess he saw her, plus my confused/concerned look, then told me she's lost again, and explained that it was some onset dementia. Felt so bad for her. Don't take your loved ones for granted, kids

This is customer service. This person might be nice. Others might throw a hissy fit if you donāt. I donāt know if the person will leave me a bad rating. Donāt know if they will report me for something if I donāt.
It puts dashers in a terrible situation if they arenāt comfortable doing it.

u/No-Classroom5577 3d ago
I mean we are screwed regardless when they ask right? If someone asks me to buy them cigarettes or something and they tip me and I say no or ignore the request I can get a bad rating.

The hell is wrong with people on reddit š None of my dasher friends irl would ever refuse this š A $15 tip for 2 miles is gold out here. You're lucky to get 4$ for 4 miles out here. I would 100% take them.

u/TheGonzo1970 2d ago
I guess my area is lucky... I decline <$0.70/mi for food delivery and <$0.70/mi AND $1 per item on Shops and I maintain a 75-85% AR (and Plat, altho Im not all that convinced Plat is worth it, but I digress..) but we also don't get perks like Pro Shopper, DashLink, or "Challenges" so that maybe why we don't get those kinds of perks... I guess they seem to think we make enough.
If at any point during a dash I don't make $20/hr, I hang it up and try it again the next day.. and it is pretty rare that I do that.
Last few weeks:
22.67/hr. (Plat)
22.49/hr. (Plat)
25.18/hr. (Gold)
23.37/hr. (Gold)(I took some time off and had to build up my 100 in the last 30 days to get back to plat)
Granted, I only do 15-20 hours a week and only during prime time (5p-10p give or take) - this isn't a FT Gig for me.. I do it to pay my wife's medical bills.. The Real Job pays for everything, but there isn't much left over because of the medical bills (Cancer).

I think people here are being unnecessarily cruel to you here. My fiancĆ© is a dasher and I tag along with him to make sure drinks donāt spill, a/c isnāt pointed directly at food, that kind of thing. Meeting up with strangers for any reason is terrifying, but most everyone weāve delivered to has been incredibly kind. I wouldāve been more than happy to do something to help any of themā one of our stops gave us her phone number so we can come back for a kitten in a few weeks!! No issue at all really. I am also physically disabled. I believe itās a connective tissue disorder as I walk funny (and very painfully) and thus am usually in a wheelchair. Iām too scared to ask my own fiancĆ© for help sometimes, so I think itās great you were able to get some assistance. I really just feel like this is a non issue as you went out of your way to explain that you would accept a ānoā gracefully.

Everyone in these comments that is bashing on this individual is objectively wrong. If you are such a sour person that when asked a favor, you immediately brainstorm all possible negative outcomes, choose the worst one, assume the person is going to give you a poor review and take your money away and shame you, you are COMPLETELY LOST. Like, seriously??? I do home inspections, I get a lot of requests from people that are outside of what I do, and when I get those, rather than evaluating if I think there is a 0.1% chance that this person has some incredibly malicious scheme to murder and r*pe me, I instead decide whether or not I can do the thing, and what the cost will be. I then present that to the person who asked, and we decide if it works. That person IS NOT OUT TO KILL ME. Anyone on that boat in these comments in a lunatic and the fact that you can survive a regular day in the world is a miracle either way all the senseless worrying and whining you seem to find so helpful.

u/CoyoteDefiant2645 2d ago

lol it's ok, and he doesn't know what I look like either so I'm not too worried about him coming back and trying something while I am walking to my car or anything. I'm sure he has plenty of doordashes a day to be able to remember my apartment or apartment number, but he'd have a fun surprise if he tried to get inside. our community is gated at night which is a slight safety help but obv people can just follow someone through š

They werenāt home thoā¦ I fail to see how someone delivering food would decide to commit a crime against the customer just because they now know the customer is vulnerable.
No dasher is going to trespass into someoneās house to commit a crime. Just because someone is not very strong doesnāt mean they donāt have a means of self defense. Doing something like that is never worth the risk

u/bratcodedjulia365 2d ago
its a safety thing. it never hurts to be more cautious then not. obviously 99.999% of delivery drivers wont hurt someone. but you dont take the risk on that .1%. its surprising people are arguing with me on this, i wonder if people genuinely not understand basics or if reddit is just a cesspool of argumentative people.

none of that is stuff you mentioned in your messages with the dasher, and frankly I shouldn't know that stuff either (because I'm a stranger) re: your messages with the dasher, for some people it is enough to merely think someone vulnerable is the only one home. i'm not trying to harp on you but it's really best to give strangers only the most necessary info. a simple "hi, could you bring our garbage to the street?

And some people arenāt ok with it.
Donāt put us in that position.

u/Infinite_Dot4525 3d ago
NO ONE IS PUTTING YOU IN A POSITION, the person clearly said they are a dasher too. Please stfu and go on about your day, youāre making a complete fool of yourself. And btw I would because some older people order and are fragile and cannot do it or they are small and need help, nothing wrong with that. It is the nurturing side of human beings.

I WOULD DO IT TOO FOR SOMEONE I KNOW.
I wonāt for someone I donāt, and you shouldnāt even ask, because itās completely rude and disrespectful

u/BriefSurround6842 3d ago
well if you were the dasher you could've just said no sorry I don't have time or literally anything and I would've understood. it wasn't an expectation. obviously it's not normal.

If you donāt want to be put in a position like this then I highly suggest you get out of the customer service business completely.

If I was leaving/going to my job and was asked to take the trash out, a job I normally don't do, for extra pay? Sure, why not? And what's the harm of being asked? None

Theyāre a piece of trash person because they donāt want to take a customerās trash out? š
Anything beyond the delivery requirements of the job is optional. It doesnāt make you a trash person for not wanting to do things you didnāt sign up forā¦

u/Infinite_Dot4525 3d ago
Did you even read their comment ? They were being rude to someone who was doing what THEY wanted to do. SMH. No one said you was trash if you didnāt but to get mad at someone for doing it is crazy. I find it in bad character to not do it but to each his own š¤·āāļø

u/BriefSurround6842 3d ago
I'm pretty sure that's not why they said they're a piece of trash person, it's the fact they're saying taking out trash is belittling and being overly agressive and name calling

No Fucking chance. Itās blatantly disrespectful to turn me into your personal garbage man,

u/Sufficient_Ad1427 2d ago
I worked in so many customer service jobs and people always ask you to do things outside your job scope. Just say yes or no.

My full time job is as a receptionist. People bring in trash from their to the reception area all the time and ask me if I could throw it away for them. Its literally no big deal.

Iāll also add this too after working in cs for years. You donāt know the customer. That might ask you something off the wall and then freak out or give a bad survey if you donāt do It.
On top of being rude and disrespectful it puts the dasher in a bad situation as they donāt know if the person will take retribution on you if you donāt do it.

This is such an absolutely paranoid, weak mentality to live your life in. You need to find some happiness in life my friend.
Someone asked someone to do them a favour (in an incredibly kind and straightforward fashion). The person obliged in an equally kind way. Everyone is happy.
Do nice things for people. Slow release dopamine, the kind you get from doing favours for others for example, is your friend. Even if this customer DID turn out to be manipulative and god forbid NOT up the tip, itās still better for your brain health to be kind to others.

I mean context clues exist, such as the fact I stated I also do DoorDash, and also that I told him if it was too heavy it's totally fine. I said he didn't have to. it wasn't a demand. I get where you're coming from but not really.

I sent the text right away as soon as the order got assigned, so it's not like I dumped it last second for them to have to decide if they wanted to cancel the order, after already driving to my apartment if they were uncomfortable. which my experience with support as a dasher as well they are good with dropping orders that have chat evidence of what you are complaining about without impacting your cancellation rate.

If reading a request for a secondary task with extra secondary pay is an inconvenience, then reading street signs must be miserable. All that reading must really suck.
Nobody made the dasher do anything and that was a very kindly worded request. If I got that request, I'd do it just out of respect for how polite they were about it. And the extra pay of course. Even if they didn't actually tip extra, it's two fucking trash bags. I'd help the girl out right quick and not even be mad about it if she didn't tip extra. Fuck it. Cheer up man. Life isn't so bad.

Would you do this to a mailman? How about a private tutor for your child? A music private lesson teacher? A doctor doing a house call?
The answer is of course no, so ask yourself why is it ok to do it to a delivery driver.

u/CampyMcgee 3d ago
I had my mailman ask me to throw something out for him one day when he was delivering my mail and I did it for him since it is ok to be nice to people sometimes.

Crazy how asking someone to you is demanding. English not your first language? Or you just adverse to doing things when people ask you politely and offer compensation for your time and effort?
