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.

    I’ve had them do that when it’s pouring rain outside. Like yeah, I get it, one of us is going to need to get wet, but considering I’m the one paying you, you should be the one getting wet.

    It’s also impossible to get them to ring the fucking doorbell. I’ve had drivers leave my food on the porch when it’s 10 degrees F outside and just walk off. What in the actual fuck? My instructions said “please ring doorbell”, it would take half a second to ring the fucking thing, and I tipped 25 freaking percent, plus a bunch of fees, expecting a basic level of service. The doorbell thing has led to me just not using Door dash. Idk what’s up with their drivers, but if a button isn’t on their phone, they refuse to push it. I think a lot of these problems stem from tipping them before service is actually rendered. What the fuck do they care? They’ve already been paid.
