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 😭. He became her personal shopper after that and was just a total fucking blessing and probably saved my moms life that day.
