I know there is at least one Dasher here, so apologize for not remembering who you are. But this question is directed to you lol.
Last week I was doing some gardening, and completely forgot that I was supposed to be at my friends house for a bbq at 4pm. Too late to make food to bring, so I decided I am just going to bring booze. Used to be a bartender, so I ordered stuff to make up a pitcher of drinks.
Anyway, I get two successive messages, one to say that both of the booze bottles were out. I'm used to this. I don't care, bring me whatever they have around the same price is fine with me....is usually my msg back. The second message was that the dasher cancelled both of the booze orders and was only checking out for the beer and has already checked out. WHAAT. Thats the only reason i ordered it via door dash. I coulda gone to any gas station on the way to get beer. I needed those two bottles to make my famous drink. Now I just tipped him $15 to bring me a lousy 6-pack of beer.
ANYWAY. He gets here, i answer the door with my ID ready. He's literally a kid, MAYBE 21. I'm like dude (and I was pleasant and laughing), you need to give me more than 30 seconds for me to answer before you cancel part of my order.
HE FLIPPED OUT ON ME. Tries to take back my order (which is now in my house...you know, the whole 6 pack LOL with a $15 tip). I'm like what are you doing? "I don't have to deliver it to you. I can just leave." I'm trying not to get mad. He is literally this young. In my head: LITTLE MAN...STEP IN MY HOUSE. I CARRY.
I says..."I'm not reporting you, just telling you that you need to let someone know about missing items before you are ABOUT check out. I would have told you to subsitute something else." I'm standing there with a towel around my head for cripes sake. And it was a very calm conversation. He's like, "oh no, I'm reporting you dear. You will never get a door dash driver again. I am doing you a service." as he is typing on his phone. I'm standing there...I'm in the twighlight zone or something LOL I held out my ID, he's like I don't need that (as he was busy typing). So I reminded him that he just got $15 on an $8 6-pack of beer.. AT WHICH POINT he tried to go into my house AGAIN to grab off my endtable.
"SERIOUSLY DUDE. You are on three cameras right now so you need to leave." Now I'm not actually calm. Not crazy, but just raised my voice.
He walked across my lawn to his car, I'm just standing there watching him thinking "you look like you were such a good kid". I dunno what happened there. i never got mad. Never raised my voice (in the beginning). Was actually very pleasant, even when he tried to turn it into a battle.
I have two cameras in my house and one outside that witnessed this whole thing. I am nice to people that deliver, and I tip well. I either give soap to ppl or give them extra cash if it have it, AFTER I tipped in-app at least 20%. I have watched the whole encounter over and over. At no point was I anything but nice to him.
Its been about a week and I still haven't ordered anything from door dash. I'm like "reported me to who?" in the back of my head.
So that is my question...is there somewhere that I got reported to??
Edit: the bottles were just rum and malibu...coconut rum. I'm sure there was a replacement.
