As a Doordash delivery driver, you're privy to a very special kind of customer abuse. As the middle man of a much larger money-grabbing scheme, you often get blamed for pretty much everything from all angles. Food is cold? Your fault. Unresponsive to texts while driving? Blamed. Delivered to the address provided but it's somehow the wrong address? Definitely your responsibility

*HUGE EYE ROLL*

…Not only that, but because of the exorbitant fees and ridiculous extravagance of getting food delivered to your house from any restaurant, Doordash users are also notoriously terrible tippers. There's no winning here.

One delivery driver recently witnessed justice take place when a customer tried to blame him for a lost order. As a seasoned delivery man, u/k-kat93 had delivered to this particular customer before– it was particularly memorable because of the cop car parked in the driveway and the soccer mom sticker on the SUV. After a pretty routine drop off, where he took the food straight to the door, took a photo and bounced, Kat received a notification 15 minutes later that the food was never delivered and he was about to get in trouble for it. No way!

Kat didn't want to put his reputation on the line for a lie, so he informed the customer that he'd left the food like he always did at the address provided. They got snippy in their responses to him, so he contacted customer service to handle the problem, hoping to avoid a bad review that might tarnish his star ratings.

After explaining the situation to customer service, Kat waited with dread, expecting a bad review or even a write up from the company… but there was nothing. Eventually he went to go check his DM's with the customer and saw that the entire conversation was unreachable, as if their account no longer existed.

In their attempt to scam Doordash for some free food by blaming the driver, they got themselves banned from the app completely. Justice is a dish delivered cold.
