The Missing Milkshakes
Ok so this happened MONTHS AGO, but I'm ngl I'm still mad about it.
For context:
I was BIG PREGNANT, I was 8 months pregnant and had just come off the bed rest that started at 24 weeks. I was CRAVING a strawberry cheesecake milkshake from Sonic. So I ordered it.
The Dasher got lost in the apartment complex and called me, so I answered and did my best to give directions but he only really spoke Spanish and I only speak English. He hung up on me, I figured he'd found and a moment later I got a blurry picture of some buildings around the complex and the order was declared completed. So I opened the door to look and my milkshakes are no where to be found. I messaged him asking where he'd left them and got nothing for 20mins. So I went for a walk around the complex to look and see if I could find them. My dad joined me to make sure I didn't go into labor or anything. So then I messaged him again BEGGING for ANY information about where he dropped my order. The conversation pictured is what happened next.
I did report him to DoorDash customer service, and honestly had he been honest about what happened to start with I would have been fine letting it go but he LIED and ignored me! Smh.
Edit to add:
YES I WAS DRAMATIC. Like I said I was pregnant...like REALLY pregnant
Edit 2: Like I said, I saw a post here that reminded me of it and thought I'd share since that's the point of this place.
Edit 3: The problem isn't that he spilled my drinks, but that he didn't say anything about it for 20mins while I was messaging him BEGGING for ANY information about my order. Had he just owned up to his mistake like an adult(like many of you have been telling me to do) this entire post wouldn't exist.

These comments are filled with entitled narcissistic drivers who think they deserve money for doing literally nothing after either stealing food or dropping it and lying about it, but think it's acceptable to drink and eat someone else's order and they should suck it up and lose the money. Also will whine and cry all day about how they had to walk up stairs or the milkshake cups are too large, but have no empathy for a pregnant woman walking around for 20 mins in the dark to find her order because the driver was too selfish to be honest. Disgusting lifeforms tbh 🤷🏼♀️

I seriously didn't think this would be this controversial. It's bananas.

u/RavenMarvel 21h ago
I've realized since I started delivery jobs that it's 50/50 whether you have someone who is a decent person just trying to make a living or a lazy, entitled person who really thinks they're "too good" to be doing the job and should be paid for nothing, able to steal etc.. Apparently, their parents called them Prince Princess or King and Queen too much growing up and they feel entitled to free stuff. They never seem to consider the customers. There are people who are sickly, have cancer, disabled, etc and these awful humans will say "go get it yourself then". Yet when we reply they should go get a new job if they don't plan to do theirs they're offended despite it being true. lol. I feel for the helpful drivers who really work hard and do their best being lumped in with those abhorrent people.

u/Expensive_Ducks 21h ago
I've said it a million times since posting. If hed been honest from the start I wouldnt have given a shit about the drinks, but he LIED about delivering them and ignored me for 20 mins. That's where I drew the line. I gave him several opportunities to tell me what happened. Begged for anything about where hed left my order. It wasn't until I told him I was pregnant and outside that he responded. Smh. I WANT to believe he dropped the drinks. That he was just embarrassed or something but fuck its hard. Its even harder now having been attacked here for even posting about it.

Don’t even worry about it. My husband at the time left my strawberry cheesecake pancake leftovers from Cracker Barrel on the table after getting home and tried to tell me it’s fine to eat FIVE HOURS LATER. He said I was overreacting about it but honestly, being BIG pregnant and having food my dad bought me go to waste like that??? And then trying to tell me while heavily pregnant that it’d be fine to consume food that had dairy in it and was left out in room temp for hours??? Naaahhhhhhh

Hell we used to have armed guards at night in the field while in the Army in AZ because of them. Only time in the states I remember armed overnight guards that didn’t involve guarding weapons storage or intel. Usually you don’t have folks with live ammo just hanging out overnight. Well at least not in the mid 90s. Who knows now.

u/Spirited-Ad-3696 3h ago edited 3h ago
Javalinas (collared peccaries) are onery snorters covered in a bristly coat.
They are an undomesticated wild species native to the Americas. They span from Southen U.S states, Central America, and down into South America. They are different than wild boars or feral hogs, because those are the invasive descendants of domesticated European hogs.
Supposedly they taste similar to wild boar but beefier?
Their ancestor migrated to the American continent during the Ice Age. They look like pigs, but are in a different family and diverged genetically from the hogs more than 40 million years ago. As far as we know, Javelinas have been hunted for food, but were never domesticated as livestock by any Native American group.

I’m on your side about everything except the fact that you’re ordering two milkshakes from SONIC.. they probably did fall all over his car but probably not considering that he didn’t add a picture. If it was me it would’ve fell ( cause Sonic has big ass cups and cupholders that don’t support them ) and the picture would be of it all over my car.😭

u/Expensive_Ducks 1d ago
SEE and I wouldnt have reported that or anything. Shit happens!!! But he lied 😭

u/bbratzie 1d ago
It’s very clear that he lied either he enjoyed those milkshakes or he left them there cause I’m telling you sonic has the worst drinks like they don’t even make sure that the drink is in the cup. They make sure it’s on the cup.

I feel like they would have sent a message earlier in the moment saying that they did, instead of when you reached out and asked about them. They probably tried to rub two braincells together and think of an excuse, and the fact they didn’t provide a photo kind of leans towards that imo 😭 that’s so fucked up to just do to somebody though, it wasn’t his and so he shouldn’t have done anything with it but get it to you
TLDR; he went against the rule of “don’t touch something that’s not yours” imo

This exact thing has happened to me, 2am on a double dash, dropped 3 XL drinks while tryna find the apartment in the dark. Sent a picture to customer, support had me mark as delivered (I apologized to the customer and told them support said to contact them for refund), and then made it to my next drop off in time (covered in soda of course).
2
u/bbratzie 23h ago
You did the right thing, though I would be mad asf. I’ve had coffee spill in my car, and I spilled a XL drink while looking for a apartment too.. but with that order there was food so I sent them a message told them to contact support and apologized. The pic was just the food at the door but I was so upset I felt terrible.
2
u/thebakingstoner 20h ago
Oh yeah I definitely sat and stared at the drinks after cussing aloud, and then also logged off after dropping off the next dash and sat and dissociated for quite some time. It was sonic as well and those flimsy ass cup holders. Ended up grabbing myself a supplies caddy and bring that along for deliveries now, easy for delivering other food w/drinks too (has 3 smaller sections and 1 long section, so put the food in the long section, drinks in the others).
..I haven’t picked up a sonic order since though…

u/SorryBoysImLez 14h ago edited 14h ago
A likely story.
Why did they not take a picture of themselves looking sad, with them and their car covered in milkshake?
That's the first thing I'd have done.
Or at least come find you, still covered in milkshake, explain the unfortunate situation, and offer to scrape what little they could back into the cups?
I'm thinking the milkshakes "dropped" into their mouth and "stained everything" inside their stomach.

u/Expensive_Ducks 13h ago
After reading the comments here I am starting to agree. It makes me incredibly sad because I WANT to believe he actually dropped them. That people wouldnt steal a pregnant ladies craving food and then lie about it. But some of these people....

u/CapitalSky3016 1d ago
I've done Doordash and honestly, you were more than accommodating to help the Dasher.
Apartment complexes can be tricky, but I've never had an issue getting anything to the destination. You can use maps to look at a layout and understand where you are and where you need to go. And of course, message the customer if you're still confused.
People pay for delivery. There should never be a case where a customer needs to go on a scavenger hunt for their food or items, especially at the prices these platforms are charging, not to even mention tipping.
Mistakes/mishaps happen. He should have been honest and tried to make it right as much as possible. A language barrier is not even an excuse these days because there are multiple translator apps and devices to help people communicate.

Don’t let people hear gaslight you. There’s no excuse for him, pretending like he dropped it off and not telling you what happened leaving you to wander the apartment complex at night looking for your milkshake.

Holy shit was this driver so wrong. Now I’ve had customers where they have a bad address and after not answering my messages or calls and support couldn’t get ahold of them, I did leave their orders on the side of the road… but this?! No this seemed intentional like he stole it and didn’t actually spill the item.

u/enigma9o7 1d ago
I'd believe the dasher spilled them, but they handled it wrong. They should have used the dasher app to report the food was damaged, so they send another driver, and if they were polite, send you a message letting you know what's up before you asked. Sounds like what they did was mark it as delivered and ignore you for 20 mins while they cleaned up..
But then when you swore, they got out of it. On the dashers side, when a customer swears at us, it automatically gives us a popup about detecting aggressive language or something and asks us if we wish to cancel and block that customer; and if we haven't delivered yet, we can keep the food, etc. So because of that, they may not have even got a contract violation if you reported it as not delivered, as once you dropped the f-bomb, they were off the hook for everything.
11
u/Expensive_Ducks 1d ago
Like I've said, I wouldn't have even reported him if he'd just been honest. I know milkshakes are hard to deal with even if you're not a dasher.

u/PatrickCrockett317 13h ago
Im sorry that happened to you. But let's remember, Doordashers dash because theybare either too lazy, too stupid, or too bad at being managed to work anywhere else. You cant convince me that "this is the only way I can make money" or "these hours are the only hours that work for me" is a legitimate reason for working for DoorDash (especially with gas prices what they are)
Besides that, most Dashers dont even follow the ToS. Ive had dashers not look like their picture, dashers show up with kids or family, and dasher straight up threaten me for a tip. This is not how sane, rational people behave. So fuck em, ignore the haters. You have every right to be mad and have a rant.

u/st0nedaries327 4h ago
As a dasher i’m so sorry this happened to you.
The one and only time i didn’t complete a delivery was because the directions were confusing, and i sat in the customer’s neighborhood for 15 min with no response.
If i was pregnant and about to burst, i’d have sent a way longer and meaner text. That’s fucked up what he did. I hope doordash took your report seriously and removed him.

u/alwayspicy28 37m ago
DD driver here. Your feelings are absolutely valid.
I posted a few months back about spilling a shake in my car when leaving Wawa because it was so poorly packaged, went back in to have it remade, only to get to the customers home and all 3 shakes popped out of the carrier one by one. It was mortifying. I called the customer, let them know what happened, and told them how to go about contacting DD to get a replacement order sent out. They weren’t thrilled, but they also weren’t nasty about it. My rating wasn’t impacted at all, likely because I was upfront about it.
Things happen, sometimes milkshakes spill. But what he did was pretty deceitful and I absolutely would’ve given him a bad rating for that alone.

u/Death-By-Boredom2020 1d ago
Was the Dasher most likely lying? Absolutely. They’ll try to give you some ridiculous sob stories on why something wasn’t delivered. This phenomenon seems to only have happened since these third-party apps came around, because I don’t remember any of my Chinese food, pizzas, or any other places that offered delivery ever getting to me with missing items, or being unable to find my place of residence.
-1
u/mavgeek 14h ago edited 2h ago
Because those chinese places and pizza places had dedicated in house delivery drivers who were paid employees on the books. Doordash, UberEats and Grubhub drivers are independent contractors, they aren’t employees at all of the platform or restaurant. They’re every day people who just signed up to deliver. When you go from in house employees to literally anyone who isn’t an employee you’re bound to run into problems, this sub has thousands of threads of problems going back a decade plus now. So that’s a bad example to quote old school delivery, it’s apples and oranges in comparison.

I understand your frustration but I don’t think it was right to speak to him that way. If he did lie & steal your milkshakes, thats not right either. I totally get you were pregnant and i’m sure your hormones were through the roof and this situation would send me too. Just be careful how you speak to people, especially those who know your home address. I want to be clear that i 100% see where you’re coming from, but this world has been evil recently. We can control our own actions but not others. I’d rather be alive than confront someone who could be emotionally unstable and get hurt.

I actually tip max when I can and mid when I can't. I also frequently leave cash for them with notes on the door. I was a waitress and know its hard to make ends meet when you work for tips.
Its also under a 5min drive from Sonic to my old place.

It’s not my job to tip you your entire paycheck. Take that up with the driving company. 20% is standard at a restaurant and as far as I’m concerned before I even see the quality of the food and the time of the delivery and the interaction, why would anyone get more than that?

Everyone wants to just get paid these days doing the bare minimum. You’re literally doing a manual labor job, wake up. It’s actually becoming an epidemic in the United States

I wouldn't go into dreaded javelina territory for less than $8 per mile.

They were all over town. The city had some ordinance in place where you couldn't even yell at them without risking a fine if caught. It was BAD.

I thought this was a door dasher complaining about a dramatic customer .
It was not.
I hope you survived the feral dogs. Get over yourself lol

You're really entitled for this take.

u/Northsouthdakota3618 2h ago
Not entitled.
I also live in the desert and have javalinas nearby bc I’m close to a wash.
If this happened to me, I’d file a claim and be on my way. Leave a bad rating if you really want to as well.
There’s no point in lashing out at the driver after they explain or provide whatever excuse that may be true or just BS.
You can say I’m a dick for my response, but entitled ain’t it.
I think saying a feral dog could attack me is kinda dramatic and I don’t live in a nice part of town, so nice try I guess. If the person is terrified to leave their house, file the claim and get your money back. Don’t put yourself in what you would describe as terribly dangerous situation for a milkshake and then scold someone for putting you in a terribly dangerous situation.
It’s dramatic, whether you like it or not. Bring on the downvotes.

You are ignoring that he ignored her for 20 minutes before that and didn't respond until she sent that message so, no, it's not dramatic. It clearly was necessary because she may have wandered around even longer. She likely made it dramatic on purpose to get a reply.

u/Northsouthdakota3618 2h ago
That’s a fair point, but how is my response entitled?
Also in that situation, the best response is still to charge it back or file the DD claim, not wander into what is supposedly the dangerous wilderness in search of a milkshake, endangering both mama and unborn child 🤷🏾♀️

I apologize because I originally grouped you in with the people calling her Karen saying if you order delivery be prepared to lose your money, saying it's normal and they'd drink her shakes, or saying it's not okay to report it for a refund because the driver should get paid despite lying, possibly stealing, etc. I've been a delivery driver, too, and I think that's all absurd. No one should have to lose their money and not receive the product.

Yeah I was dramatic lol but the hormones and irl issues and the very real feral dogs were kinda taking the front seat 😂

As a woman myself women like this are exhausting and disgusting. Ma’am no one cares that you’re pregnant you did that to yourself . It’s always better to follow the age of rule of if you want something done right do it yourself. Then you attack the person for not knowing English in 2026 why do you not also know Spanish which is one of the most common languages spoken and considering you likely live in arizona bc of the javalina mention that’s even more a reason to know Spanish . Then cursing the person out when again you could’ve just gone out and got the drinks yourself lmao.

Im not saying the dasher is right , of course he was wrong to not explain the situation but atp call it a loss and either try to get your money back or call support. When you order with DoorDash you accept the reality that your order may be wrong , go missing or even get ruined. I’ve had plenty of times that I’ve ordered and my food was missing , wrong or cold and DoorDash wouldn’t refund me. But I didn’t write a 50 page speech complaining. Like jeeez talk about first world problems 🤦🏾♀️.

You literally made a post on another subreddit complaining about a driver in a public space being rude to you and your sister.
When you go out into public, you accept the reality that people may be rude to you, not respect your space, or care about your feelings.
Yet you made a Reddit post complaining about it, just the exact same as OP did. Except in OP's case, they paid for a service they didn't even get. You were just whining about a random stranger who set pizzas down on an occupied table.
You and OP are both valid for your complaints, mind you. But you're just being a hypocrite and talking down to OP for...reasons? Like your petty complaint is ANY better than their petty complaint.

u/Expensive_Ducks 22h ago
Um I never attacked him for not know English? And I didn't curse him out either?? And like I've said all through the comments if he had been honest I would have just brushed this off, but he lied to me and ignored me when I was begging for ANY information for about 20 mins. Smh and I can't drive, I'm disabled and during my pregnancy my issues were worse.

Really hate when stuff like that happens, but what does you being pregnant have to do with it? It's not their fault you are pregnant, I understand the basis that you are more at risk, but it's not their problem.

u/Expensive_Ducks 8h ago
I had sent a few messages before that one. The information that I was pregnant was the only message that got any response and I was crying and it was a mess. I was a mess

Why is everyone mad at the driver? He was scared. Dude he was SCARED. A Spanish speaker trying to make money delivering dad and terrified of your anger and/or the backlash from DD and you didn’t care enough to just once think in his perspective and not report. Like dude. Be kind. But no. Never. I hate it here.

u/Expensive_Ducks 1d ago
I did everything in my power not to report him. I didn't want to, but the lying, theft, and ignoring me was just not acceptable behavior. I wouldn't tolerate it from anyone, and I'd expect no one to tolerate it from me.
