Once, I ordered from Doordash and the delivery guy showed up with my food on his head like a hat. He said he was trying out a new 'hands - free' delivery method. It was so unexpected and funny.
I had a Doordash order where the driver got a bit lost. But instead of getting frustrated, he called me and we had a nice chat while he found his way. He told me about some of the other interesting places he's delivered to in the city. In the end, it was like making a new friend through the Doordash experience.
A colleague of mine had a Doordash order for some Chinese food. The driver got to the wrong building first and ended up at a dentist's office. The dentist's receptionist called my colleague to say there was a confused Doordash driver with her food at their place. By the time the driver finally reached my colleague, he was red - faced but also laughing. It was quite a story that spread around our office and always makes us laugh when we think about it.
One scary Doordash story I heard was about a customer who ordered food late at night. When the Dasher arrived, the house was completely dark except for one flickering porch light. The Dasher felt a really eerie vibe but still left the food at the door. As he was walking away, he heard strange noises coming from inside the house. He quickly got in his car and drove off, and later found out that the neighborhood had a reputation for being haunted.
Well, it could be a mix. There are probably real incidents that happen during Doordash deliveries that seem scary. For example, a Dasher might encounter a customer who behaves oddly or a delivery location that looks really haunted. However, people also like to make up stories for the fun of it or to warn others. So not all Doordash scary stories are 100% real. It's hard to tell sometimes.
Many DoorDash drivers have positive experiences like getting big tips. One driver told me that he delivered to a group of tourists who were so happy with the prompt service that they tipped him very generously.
My sister was on her period and she went to reach for a tampon in her bag in public. But instead of a tampon, she pulled out a banana that she had forgotten was in there. The look on her face was priceless and we still laugh about it today. It just shows how chaotic and funny things can be during that time of the month.
Sure. A customer once ordered a pizza and the Doordash driver showed up with a pizza box that was completely empty. Turns out, the pizza had fallen out in the car and the driver didn't notice. Doordash quickly sent another pizza to the customer.
One horror story could be getting food that's completely different from what was ordered. For example, ordering a steak dinner and getting a cold sandwich instead. It's really frustrating when you're hungry and expecting a specific meal.
I heard a story where a Doordash customer ordered a simple meal but received a huge feast instead. Apparently, there was some mix - up at the restaurant where they prepared the wrong order but sent it anyway. The customer was initially shocked but ended up having a great time sharing the extra food with their family.
One success story could be a small local restaurant that saw a significant increase in sales after partnering with Doordash. They were able to reach a wider customer base who might not have otherwise visited the restaurant. Another could be a delivery driver who was able to earn a stable income and support their family through Doordash. They could work flexible hours and take advantage of peak delivery times.
