I hade one customer peak at one item without showing me and insisted that she was missing something without looking at the rest of the order. The way she was so emotional about it I could tell she was trying to pull a fast one. She insisted I drive all the way back and get it. I was like sure 🤣. And a month later she still is waiting! 🤣

[@coreybarnes8860]

There is also a scam with these restaurant's not having the order ready, but put pick up ASAP for the courier/driver to come and pick up order. When you get there the order is not ready and they tell you that it will be another 5 minute's but you end up waiting for 15-20 minute's for an order that was labeled as ASAP. That wait has cost me money (orders) and has probably messed up any tips.

[@eastlakrayzie]

yep, I just experienced this yesterday, I park illegally on a busy street blocking a fire hydrant with the ass of my car dangerously extending into the intersection too, because I thought I'd run in, grab it and run back out, as I usually do. Instead, it looked like they just started working on the order and it took like 15 minutes of stress for me, then I get customers texting me asking why it's taking so long.

[@TRICKYBYRD]

@@mesofius ok that's your own fault 100% 100 times out of 100. Your not being scammed your being an idiot by believing just because you deliver food your allowed to break the obvious law. You stated yourself the laws you broke so here's the smallest saddest little violin playing the saddest little song just for you ....nowhere in door dash s instructions or manual does it say " now that your a Dasher, cringe, your allowed to park illegally so long as it just for a second"...I mean is there also a speeding clause in there cause I got a ticket yesterday but you'd never see me complaining that I was working for door dash and there's a scam where I got caught speeding......NEXXXT

[@brittg9007]

I had my first scam happen to me. I’d heard of it before but brushed it off like “that won’t actually happen”. Anyway, I deliver food to the customer and hand it to the customer myself, brief little convo, shortly after, get a call saying customer never got the food. Now I take a screenshot of my gps when it shows I’ve arrived prior to exiting my vehicle. I love when it says leave at door because that’s another picture as proof I can take with the food on the doorstep, also, text the customer saying food is there and any reply saying thank you is more proof. Sad that we have to do this but I can’t afford to lose my source of income over a scam. Have to be prepared.

[@adotintheshark4848]

texting is the best idea. I like to text first and tell them I've arrived. It's almost as good as a picture because if you have to you can screenshot the text for support.

[@tirawright17]

As a Dasher, it is my job to pick your food up and deliver it. I treat a customer's order the same way I would treat my own. If the restaurant does not have the order ready, or I encounter any issues, I immediately contact the customer to let them know what's going on. But verifying that you have everything in your order is something I am NOT GOING TO DO. 1. Most restaurants seal the bags. So if I break that seal to check for all items that are supposed to be in the order, that means I am picking through your food. Do you really want me to open your burger to make sure they didn't put mustard on it? And once the bag is unsealed a customer can claim you took something. I normally do everything above and beyond, but I refuse to unseal bags. Now, if a bad comes unsealed, I will take a peek to make sure the number of items match what I see on my screen, but that's as far as I'll go. And of course I'll make sure I don't forget things that don't come in a bag like drinks

[@lynnz2021]

Right. Even if they try and pull a fast one and grab the food from me when it directs I put it at the door I’ll tell them I still need a photo regardless that happened to me before they decided to come and get the food so I put handed to customer then they called and said they never received their order 😭 so ALWAYS get a photo if it directs you to do so.

[@NinjtechPro]

@@lynnz2021 man it depends on the neighborhood. I found when I deliver to the working middle class and upper middle class, i never have complaints or issues, they always tip, always leave great comments. lol it's when I deliver to the lower low income or the upper echelon neighborhoods when I get some shenanigans. Whether it be "not delivered" or zero tip on their mcdonalds order.

[@elwaposv]

I have never worked as uber or dasher or anything like that, and i have never used their services either, but it makes me so mad hearing about this things. Those companies should have a way to protect their workers from these scams.

[@lisahinton9682]

Another scam - a former friend who introduced me to DD did this scam. She had her husband download the app, order a huge meal just as she pulled up to the restaurant (so that she'd be the Dasher the order was assigned to), then she'd pick up the meal, take it outside to her car, go back inside the restaurant and claim they forgot an item, pickup said item, then drive the whole order home (to "the customer" - her own husband). She'd drop the order off, sign off the app, pig out on the food, then husband called DD and claimed the order was never delivered. So they got 1. free food, 2. free extra item, 3. paid to deliver the order. Obviously, I'm no longer friends with this person. Tanya A. in Peoria, Arizona, I'm talking about you!

[@ImmaQT2]

DD would just deactivates the wife then cause they keep tabs on who accepts the orders...its called FRAUD

Notice to viewers/dashers: DD support already has your information they need to do their job when they call. They won't ask for credentials. Only questions to resolve a support request initiated by you or a customer.

[@arielcamara7691]

Not really, you actually have to provide credentials to avoid fraud.

I ALWAYS show the customer name to every restaurant on my phone . The heat bag is not big enough for most orders in my area

[@randalgibbons8822]

If you have a GFS in your area they have a big red insulated bag that is big enough. For $4.95+ tax. If not, just Google Gordon Food Service and see if you can order one online. There are two sizes one is a smaller black one that still works better than doordash is bag and it's 495 also oh, and the other is the Big Red One. Good luck

[@pyramidion5911]

At least DD will call and ask what happened. I had to call uber eats one time because I got a notification about properly canceling orders. I called to find out why and the customer service rep and his lead lecture me for half an hour about taking people's food and not delivering. It didnt matter I have over 100 deliveries and all positive ratings. Shows how much they respect their drivers.

[@Ken4JCML]

I think that they all should do at least 2weeks of full time delieveries before getting hired. So the whole company will know the basics n what other collegues are going through out there. Otherwise those ppl in the office generally would have no idea and let alone backing up the drivers in case of issues.

She text me saying i didnt leave it and reported me. the delivery was marked as not delivered .... so sad how people do this to others . not knowing dashers have families to feed.

Did she tell u to leave it at the door cuz I wouldn't accept food if you left it outside I could be in the bathroom or on a conference call

[@shotsfired1106]

A good way to avoid the second scam of customer picking up their own food is to not confirm pick up until you have the food in your hand. If you show up and its not there, then just wait for the restaurant to make it again for you. That is on them. I dont see how that scam even works.

[@cgh7337]

Make sure to contact DD support once the merchant tells you the order has already been picked up. Support will contact the customer if they ever rec'd their order, of course the customer will lie & say they haven't. The merchant will remake the order & the scamming customer will basically get 2 orders for the price of 1. If they tell you to leave it at their door (as many customers request) make to take multiple pics & do your best to get the customer's address in frame of the pic. Good chance they'll lie again & claim you never dropped off the order. Basically C.Y.A!

[@adotintheshark4848]

if it's not there but the restaurant knows they prepared it, I'm on the horn to support. CYA always when this happens.

[@lynnz2021]

Right I never confirm until I am in my car with the food ready to go

[@UniqueJerkTQA]

I get tired of these type customer! You sit there and wait and wait on them and they wait until you get in your car before they come out! And they know they say hand it to them 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@brucesatta6562]

I had a customer cancel his order about a minute before my arrival. I went ahead and delivered the order because what was I gonna do with the food and I was practically there anyway. I realized afterwards that he probably got free food. However, in this scenario I received full pay.

[@adotintheshark4848]

now there's the only scenario where I'm getting a free dinner. If the customer cancels an order after you pick it up, you are entitled to do with it as you please unless support expressly tells you to return it to the restaurant, which never happens.

[@ashgrovekid7937]

I thought the navigation shows where we stop and deliver.

[@ImmaQT2]

it does & DD reps also can see your texts you send & receive thru the app too and if you called the customer

[@2332Stephen]

Yea I mean they should have the info on you. DD knows where you are. Why would it make any sense to drive 5-7 miles to someone's front door, and then drive off and not leave the food? It's not even worth your time or money.

I don't understand why they put on the app to leave it on the porch yet they get mad when we do that. I had my first delivery last week and the lady put in the wrong address. Luckily she was waiting for me outside and saw. She's like, "you were just going to leave it outside?" I was like, "umm that's what you have on the app." Then sje started acting like she didn't even know about that app and she never put that. I was so pissed and nervous since it was my first delivery.

[@kasheem1747]

[@2332Stephen]

I always give them a minute to open the door. I don't drive or walk away from the door until I notice some movement. These people have their phones. They know where you are, They are usually waiting on ya, But even with the contactless delivery, by the time I turn around or pull off, someone's opening the door. I only had one where they didnt' answer when I pulled away, it had shakes, so I was like, shit hope they don't get left outside too long, but never had any complaints from that order, so I guess it was all good.

[@chakararosa]

Same thing happened to me just yesterday! So I'm going to start taking pictures for now on. Due to covid-19 customers have been wanting their order left on the doorstep and either ring the doorbell, knock, call, or text. Protect yourself!

I always take a picture. Even when a customer says leave it at the door, then opens the door by chance (or whatever) and I hand them the food, I tell them I have to take a picture of the food in their hands with something identifying in the shot. I don't shoot their face as I respect their privacy, and I've never had anyone object. I just stay disgustingly friendly and talkative until the door closes, never giving them time to say anything but "thank you."

[@brianlee1417]

What if they don't let you take a pic with the food in their hands? Is texting them when you arrive at their place the only foolproof way to stop the 1st scam?

DD sent me emails that the customer complained they didn't order BK, but I replied that a teen boy came to my car and took it like he was expecting it. DD agreed with me. Thank God!!

[@FredVreeman]

Good post. Scam 3 happened to me today. I fell for it. The new version is more complex. They are believable because they know the order you are going to so it sounds legitimate. After convincing you that they are DoorDash support They tell you that the app has been disconnected from a lot of dashers phones. They say that the order you’re on will be canceled and to pull over to a safe place so they can reset your phone in the system. Then they ask for the phone number and email. They tell you that they are texting authentication codes through the process and ask you to read them back. So that’s how they get around 2 factor authentication. They send a “temporary password “ by text. They send a password reset by email. Then they gain access and change the bank and fast pay accounts. They know every email and text you’ll get from the system and explain away each one and what you need to do to get back to work. It’s pretty slick. When I started getting orders and was concerned about my acceptance rating they even had answers for that. I’m quite experienced and I was scammed. Be careful out there. Most people are good but watch out for the evil ones.

[@kingo4lyfe123]

Had a customer steal their food a couple times from restaurants. I make sure the restaurant has my order at these restaurants before hitting arrived so that I'm not held liable for the order when the Dasher support cancelled it.

[@natural75beauty75]

Stephen Willis absolutely! People: Never swipe arrived until you’ve confirmed the order is in fact ready and in your eyesight, if not hand. I don’t allow the “it looks like you’re close” nudge notifications rush me into swiping. It definitely covers your ass in case there’s a scammer involved. Best practices I’ve learned in years of delivering for Postmates, Instacart, SHIPT, and now DoorDash.

1st one happened to me. Still remember his name. Customer named Jose. He ordered McDonalds. Order 3 happy meals and 2 cheeseburgers. I arrived to his place and he was waiting outside with his 3 daughters. I remember him because we even had a brief conversation and he seemed to be friendly but then later that night I received an email from doordash saying that “I will be deactivated for incomplete deliveries.” That was my last delivery and the only one from McDonald’s so I knew once support told me it was from McDonald’s that it was him. I had to explain to them and even told them the color shirt he was wearing even though they didn’t care. They did tell me that this is not the 1st time he has done it because they have the other times on his notes. Told me that they will be removing him from the app but that my rating couldn’t be changed. Had a 4.97 rating and because of his bad rating it went down to 4.87. Fast forward to yesterday I received an order and it was Jose just this time with a different last name. I recorded the whole drop off just Incase. I would share it here but I can’t upload a video in the comments. I don’t understand why people want to do this. They don’t know what that dasher has going on with his life. I have a full time job and I do this as extra but I would’ve been so upset if I would have gotten deactivated because a scum like him wanted to scam doordash for some free food

[@chloewebb94]

I had a lady double order on accident and then I called her first to see if that was on purpose..(she said no, I also told the restaurant to not make both) I called customer service and the agent canceled both orders but I had already picked up the order. So.. customer support said you can deliver it or not and you’ll get half of the deliver fee. I was already almost there when they told me this.. so I delivered it to her anyway. She got free food. I could have kept it but I delivered it anyway. 😑

[@ClellBiggs]

I had a DD driver deliver my order to the wrong person once. I was watching out the window for them and saw them go past my driveway. I figured they'd realize they had went too far and come back. A few moments later I heard another car start a bit up the road and the car went flying down the road. Obviously the driver had seen someone sitting in their car at the end of one of my neighbors driveways and assumed they were the customer. It was a big order ($50+) so I had no choice but to report it as not being received. I felt really bad for the dasher as this person basically stole from them. Since then I've started waiting at the end of my driveway for my orders. I think there should be an ID requirement to make sure food is being delivered to the right person.

[@dantegipson]

So you literally was being a dick and got them folks fired cause you didn't want to come out the house to get your food.

I had a situation where I accepted an order from Wendy's. When I arrived there, the manager told me that the order had been picked up. It turns out someone who pretended to be a dasher, deassigned that order and kept it for herself. I called customer service and the person whom I was picking up for and explained what happened. Customer service contacted me stating the other person was not a dasher and she hacked into another person’s account. Even I though I accepted the order which was $8.55, I still got paid in full and the customer was reimbursed as well. As far as the hacker, she’s serving jail time for 14 years.

Another scam is you pick up delivery. Customer calls you to tell you that the wrong delivery address for them has been entered. They want you to deliver to a different address then what is in the app. If you deliver to new address. They will ask to leave at door. After delivery the customer will say you didnt deliver food to original address. Then they get a free meal. Dont go to new address unless customer support gives you the okay first or u will get scammed like this.

I did call DD phone support & they said my status is ok but one more non delivery & I'm done. I told DD this customer is scamming DD but they said it's too late because DD credited back the customer.

[@ogearbox6132]

We have a lot of drivers at a Chik Fil A in our area. The restaurant puts the mobile orders on a shelf where drivers just walk up and take “their” order. Now and then I get a huge order and when I get there the restaurant says the order was picked up an hour ago and I am like the 5th driver to show up. My best guess? The first driver showed up stole the food and canceled the order. No way to verify anything. The restaurant needs to check each order and have the driver push the “picked up” button.

[@Gaby-cq8pr]

They need to add a note to the customer background too so if the same customer is saying that their Food wasn't delivered over and over they should too block that customer from ordering from them instead of just thinking it was the dasher

[@roberts3866]

I had two of the three scams mentioned attempted on me, both failed miserably for the scammer. First, I had a customer claim I did not deliver his order. That was until I provided HD (1080p) Dashcam footage and GPS tracking info to driver support. I got video of me pulling up to the guy's house, him carrying the food into his house, and it was all stamped with GPS coordinates and timestamp. I would have loved to have seen the look on the customer's face if support showed him the video. Second, I had the third scam mentioned in the video tried on me as well. This was defeated by a simple rule I have... personal info is only given out face to face or a method I initiated (such as in app driver support chat). I don't care what they tell me (or how rude they are)... the info is not being given out. I recommend a dashcam and adobting the no info policy.

Really nice rundown. Some people in my neighborhood talk about creating and using a bunch of new accounts to order food from apps. I'm curious, why would they do that? As a handyman... When I run into a suspicious assignment, I have a body camera that I use. For example, homeowners will give me permission to enter their homes while they are gone and then could say i stole or damaged something. I'm looking for a new, better, body camera if you have any ideas. Thanks.

[@Gignation]

That’s a really smart move Rene, always have to protect yourself. I think if you create multiple accounts you could get use the new DoorDash promo code to get a free meal each time (not sure what this requires, just a separate email - or also a new name and new bank info) probably only an email as DoorDash wants to boast to shareholders that they have more market saturation so they make this easy! Almost added it to the list because these customers aren’t tipping, but it’s not like dashers see the tips anyways!

It's disgusting that doordash don't stand by their own drivers. It's even worse that people would make false claims about a driver just to get a free meal. That said, I've seen drivers just leaving packages on my neighbor step and then just walking away.

[@HarringJess]

I feel like it's the restaurant's fault for not checking the phones, but some restaurants start to know their drivers, so they know that you can come in and grab, but when they don't know you, they ask to see the phone. Just a few days ago I did a Burger King order and the manager gave the food to someone that wasn't speaking English that well, they didn't understand but they refused to remake the order even though it was in my phone. DoorDash called the Burger King, and then the order was remade. I called the customer so that they are aware. If a scammer is coming in to steal food, they need to check the phone and not just look at the DoorDash bag.

Yooooo. "Victoria" when I was about 50+ deliveries in.. 1 tea drink order. I grilled the place, wondering wtf happened to my order. "Sorry, it was already picked up." they said. 15 seconds after accepting. I was sitting in the same parking-lot, I even contacted DD, and they said "we will help you next time". I cancelled the order quick, thinking it may help the customer get another driver to get it to her. It may have gotten me the lonely 2 star rating, and 97% "comp rate". Even though, I think DD did me good, and it vanished a couple days later.. It's been racking my brain ever since, and it was a super close delivery. 😅 All my percentages after 100+ deliveries are 99%/ 27 five stars, and 1 four. It took me a LONG time to get my "on time or early" down 1%.. and that happened today, with a Chinese food restaurant. 😅 Still got a REALLY nice tip for being straight forward to the customer.

I am very new to this gig, but I learn quick, yo! If there is an issue with their order, I text doordash and the customer immediately.

If there is an issue with your order upon receipt, please call customer service for correction." Once I reach the address, I text them and let them know I've arrived and that "as soon as I find an available legal and safe parking spot( because I ain't gettin' no ticket over this bs....) I'll be right up!" Most customers will usually text back "thanks!" or offer to come down. Oh, and I take pictures of EVERYTHING, baby!! Even on the "hand it to me" orders. Before I hand it to tem, I take a picture of it in my hand with their address in the in view if possible. If I have the time I also text him where it was left.
