I doordash a lot, and lately I've been getting every single order with an obvious side of passive aggression.
I live in a fairly rural area, but not far from larger towns. I always tip more than the least option, at least. I got used to asking people to just leaveit on my porch, covid style, because I'm lazy and anti social so it suits me. Not sure if that's a problem for people.
Which, you know, as a guy who just paid 25 dollars for a single, solitary medium dairy queen oreo blizzard, it's a little hard to swallow. Random items nixed from my orders, but nt special things. Things like, ohhhh damn... this must be the literal only time that a 7-11/QuickEmart corner store ever had absolutely zero cans of coca cola.
Hot things cold, cold things hot, peanut m+ms delivered as plain etc Generally being able to count on something being wrong. It's a little like you asked a friend to swing by the store and you'd pay when they got back - so you just kind of got to accept whatever they managed to bring back as a good effort.
Except friends dont usually charge a tip, per store, a pre-fee, a post-fee, a pre-tax fee and a final order fee.
Anyway since this suddenly became the new normal, my first thought was that you all must be getting treated badly by the company. given it's the most volunary form of employment there is, also was figuring the change must have been rather sudden. So I was wondering if there's any non-obvious customer etiquette that maybe I should be mindful of so as to maybe minimize this stuff or if doordash is charging me quadruple for a milkshake while also failing to share any of the proceeds from my mugging with the driver?
