i get it’s a legitimate safety thing to some degree and to certain people but have you considered that i cannot leave my place right now which is why i paid 40 dollars you ess dee for taco bell. which was a legitimate safety thing for myself as well, frankly.
and i totally get it: apartments fucking suck ass. i did this job for years. every single apartment design is absolute dogshit minus maybe 2 or 3 i’ve seen in my life between 3 cities. buildings will not be laid out, address wise, sequentially at all so finding anywhere is a fucking nightmare, the roads will be dogshit as well, potholes and speedbumps and i’m just trying to do my job and certain dumb complexes will randomly have some address noumbers on like, the back side of the building facing away from the fucking road for some reason??? why??? insane. just a total fucking hell. yes. i understand. but when i did the job i gritted my teeth and figured it out myself. calling the person is an absolute last resort. it’s a nightmare but frankly also when i gave up and called the person, waiting around and/or trying to get directions from them was just as annoying. bullshit job. we need high speed tubes connecting everywhere in the city.
You’re correct. But you should focus on the outcome you want rather than the philosophy.
Putting text in the delivery instructions saying, I have a medical issue I cannot leave my apartment, please deliver to my door. If you cannot please cancel the order. Would get people to go out of their way to deliver to you.
I get what you’re saying, but I think the whole idea that if you actually want your point-to-point delivery, which is the service you paid for, you’re making the driver “go out of their way” is the whole weird debate people in the thread are having. Like, the service is the service, or at least it should be, if it’s making doordash “go out of their way” to dash ya know, to my door…well that’s not the expectation these companies set with their customers I guess is all I have to say there.
