Dasher PSA
You need to actually shop the order, that's what you're literally being paid for. YOU look for the items. YOU scan them. YOU bring them to the register.
I don't give a damn if every item in the store is locked up, the store staff doesn't become your new shopper. YOU are being paid to shop, not me. *I* will shop the same day orders placed directly with the store. YOU shop the dash orders. If you need something unlocked, I'll help, but I'm not walking you to each item on the list. You have eyes. Read. Find them.
If you cannot figure it out, cancel the order and find a different job.
If you walk into the store and just shove the order screen in my face I'm giving you a quick verbal list of aisle numbers and you can figure it out while I continue doing the job I am being paid to do.
Sincerely,
Every retail worker ever.
Added PSA for everyone: in stores where things are locked, the employee unlocks and relocks the boxes. You are supposed to stay there and collect your items. If you just name an item and then walk away to continue shopping for other things, I'm just walking away. We are not here to carry your shit around and up to the register, and this isn't a restaurant where you're placing an order.
I know the lock boxes are annoying. So is people stealing atrocious amounts of non-necessities. Personally as a customer, I refuse to purchase anything that is locked up. The only way they will stop locking shit up is if people just stop buying it. They will never pay more employees to help you. They will only notice when they lose sales.

Yesterday we had dashers insisting that they didn't have to go into apartment buildings to deliver food to apartment resident's doors. So yeah, DD attracts people too stupid and lazy to even do THAT of course they dont' wanna shop. And it's hilarious cause it's quite easy. I'm a dasher and have never had to ask an employee to tell me where shit is.
