"So I have an order here it is ready to be picked up. Now this is exactly what an order would look like coming from whoever's ordering. Shows the customer name, Dasher to be determined, it's still assigning a Dasher. Around here this is kind of normal. We don't get Dashers assigned right away. I've already hit ready for pick-up."

He continues, "It shows exactly what's been ordered, (do not include utensils and condiments) and then it shows exactly the sub-total and payment there."
The video then cuts to the TikToker showing the client's order. It has a large decal placed at the paper bag that reads: "Hey! Contains alchohol!"
Inside the bag, he unearths a number of cans of beer. "I have it, put in the bag, all ready to go, with Brad's name on there and a copy of Brad's receipt. And now we play the waiting game."

"Here's the kicker here's what happens quite a lot, Dashers will cancel once they get assigned to it. There have been times where we've had no Dashers for 10, 20 minutes, to the point where we have to call DoorDash, and DoorDash will assign somebody, from what I understand, a payment incentive."

"We'll see. We'll see if Yanni [the DoorDahser] will cancel or not. Now there is one other thing I have to say. Since this is alcohol based we have to card the driver. One, to make sure the driver is 21 years of age, and also two we've had a rash of incidents here where people are driving on behalf of the actual DoorDashers. While the DoorDashers are kinda moonlighting driving Uber or Lyft at the same time for that extra bit of money."

He went on, "Which, I'm all for the hustle, but when it comes to alcohol and stuff, we can't hand it off to anybody who does not match the ID and who does not match the name."
The store owner went even deeper into the method. "The Dasher checks in, pick it up, they're gonna hit 'pick up,' with this here [he points the camera to the POS system] there's a little bit of a delay from when they hit pick up, to where it actually falls off."
"So usually it's about a 30 second to one minute delay from the time they tap pick up on the app for it to actually disappear on our side," he says in the viral TikTok.
So did the Dasher ever display up? Or did they cancel? Kenneth said that she in the end did display as much as take the supply, and she or he checked in while doing so, making his enjoy in working with her an general delightful one.

In the feedback phase, Kenneth additionally revealed that he isn't aware about tip amounts and that knowledge seems to be purely between the Dasher and whoever's ordering the food. Which would make sense seeing as store and eating place homeowners are best involved in getting paid for his or her items and services and products.

Throngs of TikTokers took to the comments segment of Kenneth's video, many of whom gave the impression to be Dashers themselves who gave some reasoning as to why it will take Kenneth a very long time to get somebody to pick up the orders he receives.
"Ones that take long time to get a Dasher most likely don't have tip on them. So it's not worth the dasher time or gas," one TikTok person stated.

"DoorDash does not assign a dasher, it sents the offer and the dasher decides, small Tips = no pickups"
"Sounds like it’s a no tip order or a low tip I don’t take those it’s all about the $ I don’t take any orders under $10"
Then there were some Dashers who said that once in a while restaurants will say that an order is finished most effective to have a Dasher display up ready to convey the food to the client, but it hasn't in reality been prepared but.
"Y'all need to show the Dashers Point of View when the Restaurants are NEVER done with the order but they check it as ready for pick up."]
But principally a lot of the grips merely boiled right down to money and that the principle reason a lot of folks ultimately make a decision to not pursue or take on orders is as a result of Dashers just don't seem to be getting paid sufficient castle their orders.
"from the driver side, it's always 100% a money issue. I'm only picking up and delivering what's worth my time."

Other Dashers admitted that they normally unassign themselves from particular orders if alcohol is involved: "As a dasher I unassign if it’s alcohol. Too many steps at drop off & if they’ve already partaken and I have to say no. I’m passing that one."
"The only reason it would take that long is if there wasn't a tip . I have done over 3000 deliveries and I only except about 20% of calls."
What do you think? Is it laborious to fault Dashers who are not getting compensation they think is worthwhile sufficient to justify riding to move and pick out up a couple of beers for a customer? Or should other folks jump on the opportunity to ship any individual's meal, regardless of what they're and are not going to get tipped.
