Does the delivery person get in trouble for this kind of thing?

Threatening the employment of a gig worker is a bit like threatening the life of a mayfly

If you report it, yes. When this happened to me, (paraphrasing) they begged me in the text chat to not report them because they'd risk getting suspended.

To be fair, I was working customer service at the time but they still gave my food to a completely different store. And you gotta report it to get your order redelivered or refunded, so I did it anyways. Their English was awful and I'm sure that was how they ended up at the wrong store, but if this is happening often enough that they get suspended... That's not on me 🤷‍♀️

My sister did DoorDash deliveries and she'd steal food if the customer did the default tip or less. She got a few free meals out of it, but she's banned from dashing now lol.

A lot of these places are one-and-done inside the first few weeks of employment, which makes the job particularly precarious.

Amazon Fulfillment Centers are similarly very unforgiving to their staff, with anyone taking so much as a bathroom break risking unemployment.

But the upshot of these high risk employment practices is that they burn through the available local labor pool very quickly. This drives up recruitment costs and lowers the bar for rehire.

So what you're ultimately threatening people with is the prospect of creating a fresh new account and spending some amount of time fighting with the automated recruitment systems. For newbies, that's frustrating. For old heads, it's not uncommon to have five or six accounts in the background that they can fall back on if one person gets them fired.

Between the extra costs and BS like this, I'm glad I can be satisfied by ramen when I don't feel like cooking.

Don’t do Dash, but deliver for another app that tracks like everything. If it puts the GPS point in the wrong spot, that’s where I deliver because there’s very little tolerance. Actual address 4 houses down? Too bad, the app will only let me deliver it here. Apartment complex is huge and you’re too far from this entrance? I’ll get it as close as I can. But can’t get it to your door.

I always text an explanation and offer to either drop where I’m allowed or return the order. But most people ordering off this app are drunk or high when I’m delivering, they would rather walk to me.

What app is that?

I'm curious if it is another big brand or maybe a small local app? I never heard of that and it would differently change my order habits(eating habits) of that is the case.

Gopuff is the company. They don’t deliver take out like grub hub and door dash. They are like a delivery for things you’d run to the convenience store for. Commonly I’ll deliver a 12 pack of coke, some chips, and a bag of ice; or something similar. Often I’m delivering some alcohol as well, many times to party’s or other group things. I think that’s great, let the good times roll but keep the drinkers off the road.

Probably had the wrong address or the app told him that it was at the gas station, then the employee there lied when asked if was there to get free food
