One time, I ordered pizza through Doordash. When the driver arrived, he had this huge stack of pizzas in his car. Turns out, he had picked up multiple orders from the same pizzeria and got a bit confused. He started looking through all the boxes trying to figure out which one was mine. It was really funny seeing him so flustered.
I once ordered a salad from a new place on Doordash. When it arrived, it was in a box that was way too big for it. The driver joked that it must be a super - special salad to need such a large container. And then he accidentally dropped the box while handing it to me. Luckily, the salad was okay, but we both had a good laugh about it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
One horror story could be when the Dasher takes forever to deliver. I once ordered food and the Dasher got lost multiple times. By the time the food arrived, it was cold and soggy. It was really frustrating as I was hungry and waiting for a long time.
The DoorDash top stories may include updates on their customer service improvements. They might have introduced a new system for handling customer complaints more efficiently, which is crucial for maintaining a good reputation. There could also be stories about their efforts in diversifying their food offerings. For example, they may have added more international cuisine options in certain areas, catering to a wider range of tastes. Moreover, any news about their competition with other food delivery services and how they're differentiating themselves would likely be part of the top stories.
One driver had a customer who kept changing the delivery location while the driver was on the way. It was so frustrating as it made the delivery time much longer. Another time, a driver was delivering to an apartment building but the elevator was broken. He had to climb several floors with a heavy load of food, and by the time he reached the customer, the food was not in the best condition.
