If it wasn’t for Doordash drivers, the pandemic would have taken its toll on us already. But they brought us comfort in the form of food that basically tucked us in like a blanket in the midst of global chaos. They’d also be the ones we have to thank for all the survived hangovers and Monday blues, spontaneous munches, dinner dates at home, you name it.

But while serving the hungry souls of America, Doordash heroes surely have seen all kinds of characters, from KFC Karens to hungry weirdos and customized delivery nerds. There is even a whole subreddit “DoorDash Drivers” which is not only a place where drivers hang out and get to know one another, but also share their adventures on duty. And trust me, it’s a whole world we didn’t even know existed!

Scroll down below to feast on some of their most memorable client stories delivered fresh to the comfort of your laptop.

“Your time. Your goals. You're the boss,” says DoorDash on their hiring page. Available in over 7,000 cities in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, DoorDash claims to be all “about connecting people with possibilities: bigger savings accounts, wider nets, stronger communities, and happier days.”

According to DoorDash’s official requirement, all you need to be their delivery driver is a mode of transportation, a valid driver's license, proof of insurance (if you'll be using a car), and a smartphone since you'll be using the app to accept orders. It does indeed sound like a very appealing job, but is it really that simple and easy?

Well, if you look at the company’s Indeed rating of 3.2 and a slightly higher GlassDoor rating of 3.9, it looks, if anything, mediocre. Mashed has recently looked into the insides of working as a DoorDasher in this piece, and found that Dashers themselves are not that happy. They claim that pay is low, management is terrible, customers are a PITA, and job security is zilch. The general consensus is that it is fine as “temporary part-time side gig,” but that's all you get.

And when it comes to customers, DoorDash is notorious for the lumps of money they charge them. One Los Angeles Yelper described her experience, "I ordered from one of my favorite restaurants and they [DoorDash] charged me about $18.00 in fees. I ended up paying $43.00 for 2 tacos, 2 burritos and a chicken soup. They will rip you off with their fees... It's just not worth it unless you are starving with no way to get food. I will never use DoorDash again!"

The Dasher’s discretion probably saved this woman a lot of grief. She might be a teenager living with her parents, or the wife of a controlling husband who is planning to leave and get a divorce and doesn’t want to complicate that by having a baby that will tie her to him forever. TBH, I wish more people were more discreet, able to keep their mouths shut. It feels like we’re all—-or at least I am—-in a TMI Overload sometimes. There are things, not life-threatening but way too personal or just icky, that other people really just don’t want to know. Let’s try to rein in the oversharing, OK?

That's a rate moment there. The restaurants try to hold off orders until driver assigns and with all covid cases there are not enough drivers. Hats off to the ppl at the restaurant and the driver too
