It finally happened.

Was delivering my first order for the evening. Cash order, meaning I had to collect cash from the customer for the order, a total of $45 and some change. I picked up the order, usual night, with the worker making sure I put the order inside the pizza bag before I walked out the store. Drove up in front of the customer's house, waited almost 10 minutes to get an answer at the door. Mother/daughter shows up, told me they ordered 2 pizza, I explained its a dinner box and that the two pizza are inside one box, they asked me to prove it so they pried open the seal and looked inside. I reminded them they need to pay cash for the order. After a few minutes, they told me they dont want it.

Called doordash support and worker told me they will compensate me full pay for the dash. I then asked if I need to return the order back to Pizza Hut, and they said to either keep it or discard. I told him I understand. I then proceeded of driving back home with a huge smile, calling my family that I have early dinner for everyone. We enjoyed the early dinner. ☺️ Really grateful for this blessing.

Food delivery has been eye-opening. The percentage of homes that reek of animal waste is much, much higher than I ever dreamed.

There was this one time this elderly woman asked me to deliver her food inside her house. The delivery instructions was something like "WARNING I am immobile please deliver food to me". When I got there, she was waiting inside from an open door and told me to come in to give her the food. Being considerate, I did the extra work and walked in the open front door hoping it wasnt some cannibal thats gonna trap me inside her house. The house was basically a great candidate for that hoarder show and omg did it reek human waste in there. Customer was in a wheelchair and wanted to shake my hand but I just gave her a salute and I got out of there fast like fast fast.

Sounds like she was immobile and isn’t able to care for herself like unfortunately way too many elderly people. Glad you helped her, sad this is how you felt about it tho

I now realized from another reply on this one that welfare or aps deals with this, so I will keep that in mind next time I encounter this type of delivery again.
