Doordash Driver: 7 Easiest Ways to Be Deactivated

It’s so dumb we can be rated or reported by customers and restaurants but we can’t rate customers and restaurants. It would be so helpful to see customer ratings to help you pick better orders with friendly people

[@lyricparker298]

I started off keeping a great customer rating. Then once I learned the ropes my rating started going down and I was doing nothing wrong. I started to panic about getting deactivated and just couldn't figure things out. I didn't know what my customers wanted from me since we can't see feedback. And the bad feedback came from the urban areas,with my own people. Feedback should be visual. We should know what customers think we did wrong so we can fix it. Finally after talking to a seasoned worker I concluded I didn't smile and talk to the customers enough. They don't want you bouncing around like a clown or holding them up with long drawn out conversations as if y'all are buddies. However, they seem to want you somewhere in the middle. They want a happy smile on your face as if you just LOVE LOVE LOVE serving them as if it's an honor. And they like it when you make small talk "How's your day going? I made sure to give you extra napkins. Your food is good and hot. I hope you have a fantastic rest of your evening and enjoy your meal". To me that is just too much and fake. I feel a hello and thank you have a nice day" should suffice. But once I start making a lil small talk with a big smile on my face, my ratings started going back up. So much for a $3.50 run. I realized when I first started I was nervous and awkward and would explain that I was new. The customer would be sure to rate me 5stars out of empathy I guess but once I stopped the small talk and got strictly business they felt I didn't give it a personal touch of my character. Or I didn't kiss their butt lol.. I guess..either way it seemed a bit weird or egomaniacal because the ones that don't tip or always the ones harshest with the ratings. You have to really do wrong to make a top tipper leave negative feedback. So it makes me feel it's really a reflection of 'their'personality and what they got going on in 'their' lives. They feel pleasure in being able to assault you in your ratings because they're unhappy with themselves. Maybe I'm overthinking but it almost cost me my job so it's worth acknowledging and getting a handle on. I just wonder if anyone else experienced that?

[@kirbfx]

I always make sure to make eye contact with the customers when I hand them order. Most of the time, upon doing so, I can see their demeanor instantly change and they usually become more personable in the way they communicate. I've also had customers come to the car to get the order and there are multiple bags or drinks so I politely ask if they want me to help them by carrying the extra bag or drinks to their door and they often say yes. It's my job after all. This simple act has resulted in getting 5 star reviews I also am thinking about putting together small bags with mints, candy, gum, or toothpicks, and a business card with slogans like "Treating Your Kindly" or simply saying "Thank You" with my name. I just have to make sure to buy items that are sealed so they trust that the items haven't been tampered with. It's amazing how the little things make a big difference.

[@sharkbite5613]

I truly don't mean to be mean but....... Kinda common sense

[@adotintheshark4848]

A little tip that can also help.If you're doing a "leave at my door" order and you have no others upcoming, take your time going back to your vehicle. The customer usually comes out and says "thanks" and you can say "you're welcome." . And if they don't come out right away, wait at your vehicle until you get an order. They'll get their food and see you were considerate enough to watch their order.

@Twin Cities News That's why you take pictures. Take a picture of the delivery, include the house/apt. Number if you can. And keep it for the proceeding 14 days. *Cover Your Ass!*

But even if you dont have the address in the pic, at least a pic of their front door.. then I think dd asks them to submit a pic of their doorway cause I had this happen before and there was no address but you could clearly see whether or not it is their house.

[@lydiachu4029]

Here is another reason you can get deactivated. I recently became a target of a sting operation while delivering 6 pack beer. Why these undercover police officers would target an innocent Doordash driver is beyond me. I'm a single mom trying to make a living. I have no criminal record whatsoever and I don't even drink. I had 5 - 6 undercover officers surround me before I had a chance to even notice the text message from Doordash telling me not to leave the alcohol with the customer. When I scanned the ID, I had the approval from my DD app to proceed with the completion of the order. Even though I tried to explain the situation to the officers, they still cited me with a ticket to show up in court three months from now to tell my side of the story. I was an innocent driver trying to make $6.25 for this particular order but ended up being a target a bad sting operation. Things got worse for me when I tried to contact DD for some support. When I contacted DD, they told me they were going to escalate the case to their legal team and that they will get back to me within 24 hours. Four days went by before somebody finally got back to me. He asked me to explain what had happened and asked me to email him a copy of the citation for their record. He promised to keep in touch and told me again that somebody from the legal team will be contacting me. Thirty minutes after I emailed him a copy of my citation, I received an email from DD telling me that my account has been deactivated. I was shocked beyond belief. Instead of getting help from the company I worked so hard to deliver over 3000 deliveries in less than 6 months with a 4.98 driver rating, I was left hanging high and dry. I was shocked and felt betrayed. Doordash is not a company you can trust. They will not support you in any way but instead will throw you under the bus if anything happens even though it's no fault of your own.

[@ewalker1057]

Not dashing much lately due to rude customers and restaurant staff. They take advantage of the fact they can rate you. I had restaurant employees curse at me. I don't have this issue on other food delivery APPs. The ratings creates an adversarial relationship. Image a restaurant server being rated by each.customer they serve along with the kitchen also rating them on each order they place and pick up. I see why Doordash cannot keep drivers. I am very bitter right now due to this which is why I haven't been dashing. Doordash ratings and how they are implemented border on employee and employer relationships. They do not address the why of the rating. What you've described is not an independent contractor relationship especially given that the contractor controls how the task is done. That is not for Doordash to control. One of the litmus tests for employee versus contractor is not just how much supervision but, if there's supervision. With contractors there can be no supervision. A barber (hairdresser) renting a chair in a barbershop is an independent contractor. The barbershop has no say in the relationship between that barber and his/her customers. The barbershop also has no say in the interaction between the barber and product supplier merchants (restaurants).

[@FlexSZN23]

E Walker agreed, they can ensure their customers are receiving ample service without CR. There is no safeguard against malicious or unscrupulous individuals baselessly giving out 1 stars to diminish a dasher’s rating. These company’s treat CR as a de-facto performance report. At-least at a 9-5, only your superiors could evaluate you and that was periodically e.g quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Here it’s every single contact with a customer and it carries the same weight, it’s quite terrifying when you think about it. Not to mention the effect the rating has on the psyche on the dasher-doing everything right, being conscientious to go above and beyond and yet and still your rating takes a tumble, it can be demoralizing. They should abolish the star rating system but still have an area where customers can leave valid comment or criticism, and allow us to view it to consider it. That’s just my 2 cents.

[@ewalker1057]

@@FlexSZN23 Best 2 cents ever spent. Instead of CR being inspiring, it's the opposite. It's punitive. Each customer and restaurant could be the enemy that gets you deactivated. Dashing less. Working more on other APPs and looking for alternatives.

I've had food that was delivered that was either clearly tampered with, drinks that showed signs of someone else drinking from them, or packages with the attempt to steal its contents. I've heard the kids in the back seat of dashers complaining that they didn't get to eat my order as was promised to them. I've had deliveries where the name or vehicle that was supposed to arrive be entirely the wrong gender, name, or make of vehicle. I even had a door dasher get stuck in my driveway after I purposely told them not to use the driveway. He drove off the edge of it getting his front wheel stuck in the soft soil. He got mad at me for ignoring my request that he not use it after he got stuck. It was cold and wet outside. I left it to him to get himself out of the problem he created. The next morning I woke up to multiple sets of tire marks dug deep into the soil all over my front yard that were covered with cardboard. I reported him to door dash and tried to get them to pay for the repairs. I never got compensation for the damage to the lawn.

Or I will be told to open a door and go upstairs and leave food at the upstairs door , one time that door would not open so I took a pic and left the food at the downstairs door , that customer tried to say I did not deliver the food ! Make sure to take a pic if the order says hand to customer but the instructions say leave at the door , the complete delivery won’t go to take a pic if the customers has a hand to customer on their instructions . Always take a pic in any cas just in case because they can de activate you if you can’t prove the food was delivered

There's several reasons why one would unassign an order, a major one being that the restaurant is taking way too long to prepare it. If they told you that it was a 40 minute wait, would you really sir there? If you'd answer yes then that means you enjoy sitting and losing money. But like I said it can end up being several reasons, it just depends on your market. I'm in a smaller area so usually no reason to unassign, except for an order the other night where the McDonald's drive thru was packed out into the street.

For # 3: I have a confession. Recently I cussed out a customer for continuously giving us dashers bad ratings. Though I didn't do this directly because he never comes up to get the food himself, I am sure he got the message because I told the person that actually brought him the food this "And if this guy even thinks about giving me a bad rating, you can tell the S.O.B. to go out and get it himself. I don't know what is his problem but I guarantee you he has no right to make our lives hell when we work out butts off!" I may have paraphrased that a little but I work 2 jobs now and I can barely keep up on my bills. Getting those bad rating really brings me down.

[@DoordashDiaries]

Don’t let one order and some current frustration allow us to be set back even further. #StayFocused

[@lilly3am]

Sounds like you deserve the bad rating.

[@jules3135]

How do you know which customer it is??

[@witchhunt5781]

Too funny. Stealing the food. I had one lady who told doordash that I did not deliver or stole the food. A violation. So I wrote a lengthy text to them proving I did: Track my GPS. Description of lady, children and house. Text messages on their app. Plus I have good allergies; wheat, peanuts, bacon, ect. She ordered Asian food with noodles made out of wheat. I would be home for several days if that happened. Always dispute violation when you know you're right. Most of the times it is that they want free food. 😱

Basically have common sense but they say everybody doesn’t have that smh

It's like my former employer said common sense ain't so common.

[@W81Researcher]

I tend to believe customers tip based on who is delivering. And also well off people may order delivery from a service with ideal deliverers.

[@-idahos_unknown-3573]

479 deliveries in and 4.56 customer rating that hasn't changed since i started. seems to only drop when certain customers request cigarettes or beer on the way. I always ignore those special request . " Sorry but no way to verify age and Door Dash is a food delivery service" is what i always tell them when i hand of their delivery. some folks need to knock that shit off and Door Dash needs to address that growing issue with customers

[@JupiKitten]

Is there a way for us to report if a restaurant worker or customer harassed us? Waiters in particular seem to be pretty bad about out right ignoring dashers, I've been told its because they don't get tips from us. There have been a few incidents like this at certain sit down restaurants around my town. One was so bad that the two waitstaff running it straught up told us (not just door dash, every 3rd party delivery person... there were 3 of us from different companies) to wait there, then proceeded to make their rounds and even seated several people who walked in 10-20 min after us. I finally had to go ask one of the guys making sushi if he had a moment to check if my curry order was ready in the kitchen. He went in and came out to tell me it was cold in its bag and quickly redid the order for me. It had been waiting there longer then I'd been there. My customer was so grateful I stuck it out and communicated with them about what was happening they gave me a huge cash tip when I got the food to them, apparently several others had tried to get the order and also been ignored and then just unassigned. I've also had situations where the customer tries to hit on me and won't let me leave, if I try to politely decline or say I'm married, they call me prude or worse, then turn around and give me a bad review on doordash even tho their food is on time. Yet there's no way for us to contest this kind of crap?

Some apartment no.is hard to find so it will take so long to look for the location. So for sure you get deactivated for that.

[@nfty1eth232]

You forgot the one fraudulent referral practices. Got deactivated for it on Friday, but have never even got a referral bonus. So how's that work doortrash. Keep your 7 dollar orders. Grubhub pays on avg 15 min. Dont miss doorcrash one bit

[@TheSmh70]

Trying hard to get on with GH. On a waiting list though!

[@mr.censored5.082]

Grubhub is taking their sweet time delivering me the card. The first week has been up so I haven't been able to deliver until I activate the card. I have been calling them. And I got an email a week and a half later saying thanks for confirming your shipping address, the card will be delivered Lol. Even though the address was confirmed a long time ago. Idk, still waiting though. But that first week that they allow before the card gets there, I was doing great.

[@michaelo2088]

I wish I saw this video before... was doing DoorDash and had a stacked order after I delivered one I realized they gave me wrong I was not going to drive back 6 miles to the restaurant and wait for the order to be remade just to get the person who ordered the food to yell at me for just 3$ so I contacted DoorDash and told them the whole situation and they were upset that I wouldn’t go back but they were understandable about the situation and I didn’t get in trouble for it... 😅

[@lord_vader87]

I had an delivery with g hub where I was unable to get a hold of the customer by phone or text and I had a gut feeling so I called driver support for help and they couldn't reach them as well about 20 after all was done I had given their food away as i was on a double delivery I was on to a whole new trip with uber when g hub called wanting to know if I still could deliver the food I said no and they called again 15 min later so I asked about deactivation they said I did everything right so always call support for help if they don't awnser

[@bend.7590]

They never pick up. Time is always important and to be on hold for 30 minutes isnt adequate

Wow...Door Dash can be petty! Imma still sign up🤑🤑

[@parkourbeastsvlogs9837]

Here’s a my few tips for success : ( Be polite ) ( be prompt (Be prepared) Remember your ( Thankyou and welcome )it goes a long way . If you’re running late ( always Communicate) If you have an emergency ( text them and apologize for any inconvience to them . Lastly Remember to imagine , that you’re the one receiving the food , so think how you would feel if only half a sub showed up . Good luck dashing . Drive safe is key

[@sheinthecomments187]

Non delivery first happens when you are LATE TO THE MERCHANT TO PICK UP ORDER and second...if the customer actually really does make that claim. Drivers ALWAYS blame the customer and don't put two and two together of being late to pick up to begin with🙄

[@MsALYESHA]

I noticed they not letting us adjust the time on a schedule no more starting to feel like a job

[@DoordashDiaries]

When you initially schedule is it for like 16hours and then you’re trying to break out down?

You do know that it came to light that this "dasher" actually works directly for DD making videos FOR DD but acts like he's just a regular dasher who posts on YT, right? That's why everything he's saying is what DD has told him to say. That's why it sounds like he's reading a script

Dustin Delatorre that’s for sure! Before DoorDash crashed I was taking directions to a Chinese restaurant ... the app directions led me to a patch of woods ( literally) second time this has happened. If I wasn’t making decent money with DD I’d go Grubhub or Uber eats. *sigh

[@jasonlisonbee]

@@glitzyglam7827 Use an independent navigation app to look up actual location. Put in address given and search by name if it helps. If that fails, check if it has a web site. If it does, look for the address there; nesrest to where the Dasher app sent you if multiple locations.

Bojangles, mix pinto beans, dirty rice and honey mustard. It's soooo good!

[@imbateman]

I’m a newbie and I have two questions. 1. I had a situation where the restaurant employee said they couldn’t complete the order, but they packed up half of it. This was literally my 3rd delivery. I contacted doordash and the customer and the order was cancelled. The restaurant said they couldn’t take food back once it was handed over. In a situation like that, I assume keeping the food is okay? 2. There is a busy area next to a nice park I walk my dog at. I started dashing when it got busy and kept my dog with me, (it’s a small puppy.) Only one customer noticed and she loved it. Ended up giving me an extra 5 bucks cash. I’ve kept my dog in the car for the past week in case I might get more extra cash from dog lovers. Could I get penalized if someone complains about seeing a small dog in my car? Thanks! Love the advice!

[@chaosakazero]

I had to report a driver for doordash the lady threatened to assault me because I would not give her the receipt from the restaurant I worked at so she could get the points towards free food .

[@rosalynjennings919]

God bless you, Thank you for sharing this right now information..

[@Onyx_Games]

A lot of this shit is just common sense and those without it shouldn't be dashing anyways since it makes everyone else trying to do this legit look bad.

You can report restaurants and customers directly to doordash. For instance there are several places I won't accept because of the employees inability to serve me. I have been told by owners we bring in 60-70% of their orders. In fact I get free french fries and soda. I also like to buy here and their when I pick up. I always get smiles for that. Or buy breakfast before going home. Get to know the people that work their. And that there are Karen's out there. 😱

I have been driving for DoorDash for 3 years and have often been a top dasher with my customer ratings at 4.8 or above along with numerous above and beyond comments about my service. DoorDash deactivated my account bc I was involved in a vehicle accident in Nov 2023 last week. Aug. 5th. I wasn't working for Doordash at the time of the accident, totaled my 2018 Mustang, and was cited for failure to maintain control. That is the basis for my deactivation. I can't understand why...on my time, in my vehicle, my insurance, and it's been almost a year since the incident. I've appealed the deactivation and am still awaiting the results of the appeal. Am I going to be deactivated forever? Doordash is the only gig type job available where I live. And not only was I a great dasher, but my customers obviously feel I was as well. And I really enjoyed doordashing. Is there any hope? What else can I do to convince Doordash to re-activate me?

Lol

[@gambit9006]

If a customer makes you feel uncomfortable or safe. You can report them to doordash and explain why. They will not give you there orders anymore. I had a customer tell doordash that I was mean to them and refused to deliver. I called and told them the true story. They deactivated his account for harassment to a dasher. Unfortunately this only goes in favor of dasher who have great scores. If your making them alot of money and have good ratings. They will most likely take your side over one customer.

If u argue with the staff just unassign the order they can't report u.

[@OreoFlavored1911]

One thing that I hate every delivery app is that they do not tell you what the fuck you did wrong. Each app has a different way of delivering food: Uber usually don't require you to bring doorbell because of COVID and customers understand it. Doordash didn't seem to remind the customers. Anyway, I just start Dashing and do Uber. Both ratings did not score me well when I start but I manage to bring up Uber rating but not DoorDash. To this date, I don't know what the fuck I did wrong besides one case that I clearly forgot to check the order and the restaurant handing me the wrong food. One more thing, when I'm in trouble I can't call for help. Uber is somewhat easier than Doordash when it comes to contacting them for help but I never reach them. People, please! Other delivery people and I have to run in the scorching sun and thunderstorm just to deliver your food on time. Don't give us a 1 star or thumb down because of something that we can't control.
