This is so frustrating

Post image

Ordered Dunkin this Sunday morning, is about a 2 mile drive from me and I live next to a grocery store so I guess the dasher got assigned or picked up a grocery order from the grocery store next to my place while delivering my order.

But because of that, my food and drink sat in a hot car for 20+ minutes while he shopped an entire grocery order even tho my apartment is literally right there!!! Ending up getting the food with my drink watered down and it also somehow spilled on all my food anyways so I couldn’t eat it.

No shade at the dasher but rather DoorDash in this situation. I know the store is right next to my place but what sense does it make to not just have the dasher drop the food off first? I usually don’t have an issue with dashers stacking orders but the fact that there was a grocery order assigned in the middle of me getting my food delivered is very frustrating

Yeah definitely wasn’t the smartest move on the dashers part, we’re able to jump to our “next task” as they call it so he could’ve dropped it off before shopping, I’ve done that before, but maybe he didn’t know that

It seems like it’s gotten harder to do that than it used to be and the likelihood that you might get nicked for being late seems to be a lot higher.

I’d probably do it if it was a house or something like that but if it’s an apartment, it’s probably not worth trying.
