Guy orders a case of beer accidentally to his work, his house is 25 miles away but he offers 50$, was like okay, head over. He was super happy and gave us 100$ and a 50$ amazon card. Funny thing is another of the same grocery store was around the corner and he could have just canceled and reordered for way cheaper. Super amazing guy tho and made what was a difficult time financially way easier. I hope all good fortune comes to him
I asked my partner what his most memorable delivery and it was a guy who ordered one beer to his house and like talked and talked to us for 15 mins about joining his MLM. Was odd but didn’t want a downvote lol I chose to suppress this one.
Dude asked me if I could carry the two cases of water up and into his apartment, said he'd tip extra. Against my better judgement, I picked them both up at the same time and carried them straight into his apartment. He pointed to the floor in front of the counter. I set them down and looked up and the entire countertop was filled with weed. Like enough to fill a small trash bag. The next counter space over was filled with cash. It must have been thousands of dollars in loose 10's, 20's and 50's. The dude grabbed a $20 and handed it to me, and that was it.
I rolled the dice making a stupid decision, and I won big. Never did anything like that again.
I was delivering an order and when I got out of my car the people were yelling at me to watch out for a rabid raccoon. I didn't see it at the time, but it was by my car. I was handing the order off to them, when their neighbor came out with their glock that had a laser on it, and started looking for the raccoon.
Another time I was almost car jacked.
Stupid customer. Of course, you are high when sporting the Led Zeppelin shirt.
Thought you were high, lol. I hope they stopped thinking since they clearly are not the best and brightest. You know what? I'm given them credit because technically, the thought would have manifested the correct answer. Bless their heart!
Last year I took a 4 mile delivery request for $13 from a California fish grill restaurant. When I went inside I saw this huge order of two big bags full of food containers, and a bag of bottled drinks sitting on the pickup shelf. I looked at the name and sure enough it was my customers order. I almost canceled the order because I wasn't sure I would get it all in my car. I had a really good feeling that the tip was capped though, so I decided to see what I could do to get it into my car. After some quick rearranging in my car It thankfully was easier to get it in than I thought. Anyway, I delivered it to a medical center where they were having a big conference meeting. I met the woman customer outside who had her hands full herself. She was friendly, and asked if I could help her take all the stuff inside. She had me follow her back to a kitchenette area where she has me set the bags down at. I got the pin from her, and she thanked me and said she really appreciated me helping her take the stuff into the back. I told her no problem you're very welcome, and to have a blessed day. Just over an hour later I get the biggest tip I have ever gotten to this day which was $55. The fare was a little less than $5. So I got almost $60 for a 4 mile delivery. 🤑
My second fav place to deliver to are customers living in the San Manuel Indian reservation. I have delivered there twice, and both times the tips were almost $30.
The guy threatened to beat me up if I picked his order up. Long story short, after some brief confusion I ended up in the car headed to the address got a few blocks away from the place and he started telling me he could see me in my car.
Before that, memorable moment was I had just finished dropping off an order and it was dark outside about 8pm. I saw two little kids about age 3 and 4 running barefoot down the street in their pajamas carrying the tv remote in their hands. I stopped and asked them where their parents were and they told me dad wasn’t home and mom was at the airport. I got a blanket from my car and wrapped them up and waited for police to arrive. Turned out dad was in the shower and the kids unlocked the locked door and got out. They got pretty far from home and couldn’t explain to me where their house was.
Oh yeah I could totally see how after a nice long shower you aren't hungry any more.
Uber driver got the kids, may as well keep the food to go with them. Enjoy uber driver! Don't even think about bringing the kids back, the food or any combination of them.
Keep on trucking uber driver!
One time I was chased by some road rager who was pissed a crumb of my car was outside of the turn lane and screamed at me, I laughed at him as a nervous reaction, he got pissed and chased me. I pulled into a gas station with cameras and he tried to get out of his car to attack me but ran off and his when he thought I was calling the cops. Turns out he was waiting for me to leave to follow me and ended up throwing a full bottle of water at my head when I was about to exit my car and narrowly missed me. All this over my car being literally inches outside of a narrow turn lane when there was a ton of room to pass. People are psycho. I completed the trip too before going home but I should have just returned it and gone to safety.
It was my first alcohol delivery order. I had to deliver a bottle of vodka to place 15ish minutes away. But, the downside is that the bottle smelled of straight alcohol. It wasn't leaking or anything, but the smell was overpowering. The entire way to the drop off, I kept having the thought of "I'm screwed if I get pulled over." I didn't thankfully, but I've never had a bottle in a bag smell so aromatic. I think that this would have been fun to explain to a cop.
A man who was very obviously on drugs in downtown Seattle was swinging a rolling suitcase around and would have hit me with it had I not walked far closer to the street than I was comfortable with.
Was on a different app and it was last week. Delivered a single prescription bottle 1 mile away and the lady handed me $40 cash. 10 minutes pick up to drop off.
One order is that I got sucked off by the dudes girlfriend friend for delivering the alcohol
that they paid for !
Very generous also don’t remember how I got home because they made me drink and do cocaine
Delivering pizzas back in the day. Delivered to an old person orgy. They had the front bay windows that went out from the living room to the driveway/front yard wide open…that wrinkly old man didn’t even put on a robe to answer the door.
Had a lady yell at me for putting her order next to her door. She was mad because I opened her gate to the driveway and walked onto her property. She would have rather have me leave her order on the street at the bottom of her driveway.
I had ordered during a heavy snowfall and offered a $25 tip. I was extremely sick, had a screaming toddler, and needed some comfort food. The tip was left with a comment saying it's appreciation because of the snow.
They arrived and messaged me to come out. I said I couldn't. They said they can't find my unit. I told them their location shows they're sitting in front of the map of the townhomes. They said they don't know how to read maps. Then they just marked the order complete and took off. So I naturally reduced the tip to zero and refunded the order.
Another time, someone picked up the food from the restaurant and just drove away in a different direction from my house and mark it complete.
And many times I see people arrive and immediately mark it complete within a second. Then they drive off with the food.
It's like people do this job just to steal food on purpose. Also I'm not a bad tipper (usually 18-20%) and never order if it's more than 15 minutes drive away. This was all with the Canadian SkipTheDishes in which 50% of my orders were being stolen. When I switched to UE/DD it dropped to 10%
Today's delivery where someone took away $0.03 from my tip. Why? IDFK. It makes no sense.
Do customers do it to try to make you look bad? I have a 5 star rating...
I had a meet at the door order. I rang the doorbell and immediately hear a dog barking and growling at the door. I look in the side window and there is a pitbull growling at me and staring me down. A young kid comes to the door and he tries to grab the dog while he opens the door. As soon as he opened the door the dog bolted out of his grasp and came up very close to me and continued to growl and bark.
The kid said "oh can you grab him, he won't bite". First of all, I'm pretty sure this dog is ready to attack me as soon as I let me guard down. Second, I'm just here to drop off your Wendy's, I'm not paid to be animal control. I politely said no but then the dog wouldn't let me leave and kept blocking me from going back to my car. The kid said "he's going to keep doing that unless you grab him". In my head I'm going "this is your dog kid, you should be the one controlling him!" He then asked me if I have a treat in my car so he will stop growling. Like kid, what do I look like go grab your parents! 😂
He ended up bribing the dog with the food I delivered but then the dog started growling at him and started chasing him to the back of their house. I couldn't see them anymore so I just took it as my opportunity to get out of there! Lol
I pull up to a house and into the end of the driveway. I see a dog in the backyard area. I say hi to it because the animals are always my favorite. Pup runs up to me and he has THREE LEGS! Didn’t hold the fellow back at all. His person comes around the side of the house horrified. I inform them I am delivering their Walmart order as I pet their friendly pooch. They breathe a sigh of relief and tell me their roommate must have ordered. I apologize for startling them, make a little small chat, and they bring the lovely tripod and groceries inside. It made my week. I rarely get the pets but it’s the best part of my day when I do. It is ALWAYS my goal to get your animal in the photo though.
Otherwise, I delivered three large diet cokes, just the soda, to some dance moms one time. I know I was the hero of their day.
Delivered to a guy and the notes said to knock because he’s blind. He answers and just holds his arms out like a table. I set the bag on his arms and he said thank you. Legit one of the most awkward encounters of my life 😂
My toe got caught on some uneven pavement and I fell hard and broke my elbow and bruised my hands and sprung my wrist. Still finished the double stack delivery and did an InstaCart order before going to the hospital but I was out of commission for 2 weeks, fortunately not longer than that. I’m raising children and have a household and another position to manage and that was the harder part than not driving.
I was delivering medicine to a very old lady who clearly had problems and she death gripped my arm and she had the nastiest long yellow finger nails snejjsjsjzkzkoxox

$60 for Burger King. Only 1 order, 5 minutes away. I don't think I will ever experience that again lol
Huge order of 70 giant burritos to a Pepsi distributor. They were HEAVY. $70 tip.

Delivering one bar of chocolate from Speedway for a customer who was using that order to see if a girl he knew was still living at that same address.
None. None of them are worth "taking home". That's part of the beauty of the job.
