DoorDash driver refuses to drop off order after ‘leave at door’ request

A woman took to TikTok to share how her friend’s DoorDash driver refused to leave her order at the door, and cursed her out for not grabbing it from him.

In a viral TikTok, Rebecca (rebeccarogersofficial) shared a story her friend told her of a DoorDasher who demanded that she pick ups her order from him personally, instead of dropping it off at her door.

“My friend ordered DoorDash,” she said in the clip. “The driver calls her, she answers assuming there’s a problem, maybe he’s lost. The guy says, ‘Hey, I have your food, I’m here.’ She said, ‘OK, you can leave it at the door.’ [He says] ‘But like, I’m here, you’re not just going to come get it from me?'”

Her friend then asked if she’d accidentally placed a hand-off order, requiring the driver to deliver it to her directly. He replied that she hadn’t, but said the “least she could do” would be to open her door and take the order from him.

“She said, ‘Well, I marked it ‘leave at door,’ so handing it to me isn’t part of your job,'” the TikToker continued. “He says, ‘I can’t believe you’re wasting my time like this, you effing b-word.'”

When her friend went to grab the food from the door, it looked like the bag was tossed down. “She asked me, ‘Was I being difficult? Should I have just gone to the door like he wanted?’” Rebecca recounted.

“Girl, no. A random strange man at your door having a temper tantrum that you won’t come out and interact with him?” she said. “That sounds so dangerous.”

Viewers agreed with Rebecca, with many sharing their own similar stories. “I had a lady keep ringing my doorbell and refused to leave my food at the door, even though I marked no contact and stated that I was in quarantine,” one person commented.

“No because my DoorDasher took a picture to confirm my food and it was of my house not the food and he wanted me to come outside,” another shared.

Others said the driver probably wanted a tip. “It sounds like he wanted a cash tip,” one user wrote. “I think they are waiting for a cash tip. Never used the service (rural area) but I’ve heard about complaints from drivers not getting cash tips,” another added.
