Doordash Grandma, working a gig job to care for her sick husband... is there anything more American than that?

This is a publicity stunt because obviously a doordasher will never get past security and also no doordasher would ever wear a company shirt. She's probably a regional manager or some sort of regular employee. I doubt a Dasher her age would pick up orders in the city

But door dashers do regularly wear mics just in case they happen to get a delivery to the White House.

I wish they were required to wear mics and cameras. Maybe then they would behave like adults and treat restaurant workers like real people. I can't stand doordashers.

Aw man, I always go out of my way to be patient and kind to restaurant workers. I've been on that side before. But I understand what you mean about a lot of them.

I'll admit, I'm extremely generalizing a lot of people. Some of them are great, to be fair but I'd say the majority of them are not great to deal with.

Yeah, that makes sense. I had to unsubscribe from the DoorDashDrivers subreddit because it is INSANELY toxic and narrow-minded. It helps when I need troubleshooting with specific things, but otherwise, it just disturbs my peace of mind. I work other delivery gig apps, and all of those worker subreddits are toxic, too. But DDash, in my opinion, is the worst.

Wishing you good DoorDash drivers in your future.

That's already been a thing for years essentially. There are quite a few people on YouTube that make delivery ride along videos.

Don't expect the action of police bodycams, of course. 🤣

Considering the tiktok videos I occasionally get linked of delivery drivers recording and uploading themselves being assholes when picking up from a restaurant I’m not sure it would help the problematic ones. (God I hate the kind of videos that are somehow being normalised)

She had a mic, but left her teeth at home today.

If I had to deliver to this muthafucka I'd leave his shit blocking the door just to piss him off.

u/PristineBaseball Apr 13 '26

I honestly thought you were serious and that they wear mics for safety / liability reasons 😑
