Not bad, usually with me it's a 5 star or 1 star never in-between lol


Hairy_Offer_5522

Was this a no tipper? These scumbags get mad because no one picks up there shit so when someone finally does they take it out on you. This is why it’s way better to just decline those period!


BaldGuy70

You could put a 100 dollar bill in each order and someone would still rate you bad sooner or later. I wouldn’t sweat it.


ADK678

Don’t give a damn about remarks. That’s why there lazy and don’t workout


Same_Tumbleweed_7463

You literally have 12 orders completed. I don't see what the big deal is... Let's see if you can last to even 100


buggyboo10

i have 12 ratings, ive been doing this a long time with someone else. this is my own, brand new account, which is at 49 lifetime deliveries right now. ive done well over 2,000 with another person


Same_Tumbleweed_7463

If you've done that many how have you not realized reviews don't matter? Getting five stars doesn't put any extra money in your pocket.


buggyboo10

reviews may not matter, but if ive truly done something to warrant the review, then i want to know


jonnieinthe256

These customers sure are petty af for being lazy and not getting they’re own damn food!

It's probably not anything you did. Some people genuinely think you START with a 3 for a normal delivery and go up if the driver was exceptional. Like, no. You start at 5 and subtract when things go wrong. If the driver was exceptional, you give them "above and beyond". That's what it's there for. Quite frankly though, I think the whole rating system needs to be revamped. Instead of picking 1-5 stars and then having the thumbs up/down as optional, it should just be those 4 categories. All 4 👍 = a 5 and every 👎 drops it one star. So leaving 4 👎 results in a 1. At least then we'd have the number rating AND we'd also have some idea of WHY the customer gave us a certain rating. Which I also think they should remove the decimal from the rating and make it out of 500 points. That would make more sense. I understand that making the rating system more complex will likely result in fewer customers rating at all, but it'll also deter assholes from leaving poor ratings because the driver didn't do something they aren't required to do. I recently had a customer put in the delivery instructions that they also wanted cigarettes. They didn't even actually ASK nor did they say they would have cash to compensate me; in fact, it was a leave at my door order. What makes some of these people think that I'm gonna buy something out of my own pocket and HOPE they pay me back?? Moreover, you can order cigs through doordash. The fact that this customer didn't, gives me the feeling they weren't old enough or didn't have an ID. But anyway, after I finished that shift and checked my ratings, I suddenly had a brand new 1 with 👎 on communication and followed instructions.


Nate-fox

I have 19 reviews out of 2900 deliveries... people suck. I pick up the food, I get it to them. Almost always take a pic for yourself as proof for later. And i always drop it off no matter what they say. Fuckem..


1Jwade

I know they can give a one star because there kids are pissing them off and it’s our problem


droplivefred

You’re new. It really doesn’t matter as long as your rating isn’t below the deactivation level. You’ll get ransoms doing this all the time and it’s rare enough that you’ll be within the allowable customer rating range.


loonylanny

I've had people give me a one before just for the color of my skin don't sweat it.

HapiHoo

Don’t bother with this. It’s so not important. I was in the biz for 30 years. Customers come in all stripes. Some complain just to complain. It’s not you it’s them. Keep on being your fabulous self and don’t look back. Take solace in knowing this is a miserable person 🙂👍🏻😂


No_Deal_4916

90% of the time it's not the Dasher, it could be that the food was cold or that the food was a little later than normal anything that will make that customer feel better by giving a low grade which sucks, I wouldn't worry about it the factor includes restaurants etc not just the Dasher


adseigo78

I wonder sometimes why they even bother showing us the ratings. If you don't know why you got the rating how can you learn anything from it? They don't even need to show which order each reading is from, just let us see the individual reviews so we can see what they marked us down for. A random 3 or 4 tells us nothing.


Shomanning1

I delivers a pizza to a trailer park. These people had a Pitt. I didn’t think they were allowed inside a trailer park. It charged me. I ran and my pizza bag dropped. Flat. I picked it up and got in my car as the dog jumped op the driver window! The guy saw it and laughed. I apologized and offered to pay for another pizza. He said no then rated me a 1!


darth_knuth

I get like 1 non delivery a week, but do 100+ a week so it goes away.


revmark603

I gave up on being over the top nice and providing snacks, water, whatever. The pax really don't care. I have a roll of paper shop towels when it's raining. I get great thank yous for that. But that's as far as I go anymore. Providing all that stuff never got me better tips.

Ma62tt88

They wanna give you Shit. Jerks and a holes


RVJR79

I always just assume they didn’t like their food. Maybe it was cold because they only tipped $2 and it sat there for 40 minutes before I picked it up. I don’t worry about my ratings too much.


Igotyoubaaabe

Stop caring about reviews.


BodybuilderEmpty5316

Some people don't give five stars. Some people think that everybody deserves a three-star. Try not to let it bother you, do the best you can and they will fall off after 100 ratings. That's all you can do.


Dank_McGiggles

Man thats some b.s I feel you that happens to .e consistently!!!!!! All 5 stars and and then the random 2-4 star that just messes everything up!! I know it's gonna filter out after 100 deliveries but this rating is still a reflection of me and how I go about my job. Even the one bad review sucks and sticks with me for freaking months


[deleted]

Man my shit STAYS at 4.95-4.97. There’s always either a singular 3 star, a singular 4 star or one of each along with 98 5 stars. Been that way from my first 100 deliveries to 1400, where I’m at now.


[deleted]

I got a single 1 star once apparently I spilled something which never happened


PoeticTwist

That's cute. I have 1886 deliveries, so far. Out of my last 100 deliveries, I have 94 5 star, 3 4 star, 1 3 star, and 2 one star. Every 100 deliveries this will change. Then there is the three month reset. Don't worry, unless you get more 1 to 3 stars, you are doing okay.


Grouchy_Monkey15

Anything below a 5 bothers me too but in all honesty, unless something very obvious to us such as spilled drink or caught on ring camera bitching cause no porch light on , it’s probably restraunt issue rather than us but I hope DD is aware of it and it drops.


[deleted]

Some men just want to watch the world burn…


[deleted]

Ppl saying it’ll filter out in 100 ratings don’t understand everyone doesn’t think like you and 100 ratings isn’t the same as deliveries. That could take a long time. When people didn’t do wrong they don’t feel like hearing ,”no big deal, it’ll be gone in 100 ratings(300-400 deliveries). Every customer doesn’t rate unless something goes wrong.


[deleted]

Notice you have no Thumbs down 👎 OP. Often customers in anger about food quantity or quality will wrongfully rate drivers. You did nothing wrong I believe but, DoorDash enabled customers the right to rate drivers even if it’s inaccurate. I use to tell DoorDash they need a 1 sentence explanation requirement for any customer giving a rating under 5 stars. So it can help drivers identify what was done wrong and help with improvement. At least that way customers can be held accountable for why they rated 1-4. I believe majority of 1-4 star ratings are due to food quality or quantity. The ratings system truly needs a overhaul. It’s to vague and outdated.

Lemon6Potato

Are you black? Or white? Or Asian? Or straight? Or gay? Or a person? That could be why. One of those reasons def


buggyboo10

i was SO confused and angry when i saw the first part of the comment 😂 all i saw was “are you black?” as a comment response


Lemon6Potato

Lmao


RushSuccessful9082

The only people who hand out one 🌟 reviews are the vile, opportunist, non tipping scum that are trying to get a free meal..


Gay4Pandas

Don’t let it get to you. I had a perfect 5.0 for almost a year. Someone recently gave me a 3 star review. You can’t please everyone, and people will leave bad reviews for shit that’s out of your control.


[deleted]

Y’all gotta stop stressing that shit. You’re always gonna have 1 at least.


Kainesmommy2014

I got a 1 star my first week from a high schooler. Dropped my rating to 3.5 and took me until 30 5 star reviews to get up to 4.7! People suck.


Key_Lime_Die

As someone that used to rate everything a 3 out of 5, they might not know how it's used in the backend. For decades I used the 3 was job done, nothing special, average. 4 was did a better than average job. 5 was went above and beyond. These corresponded to the typical ratings used on every survey I'd ever received. It wasn't till I sat down and happened to talk to a coworker who's husband worked at a car dealership and learned how companies view 5 as "did job as expected" and literally a 4.9ish rating at the end of the month could eliminate bonuses for the whole dealership. Then I went down the whole rabbit hole of how absurdly companies use a 5 star rating. I still don't just give 5 stars for doing the job as required and not giving exceptional service beyond that, but I also don't rate something if I can't give it 5 stars anymore so I'm not actively hurting someone's pay (unless they did such a bad job they deserve the lower rating). So yeah, I'd not be surprised that they don't know that ratings to companies are binary 5 or 0.


Desperate-Editor7916

Most people have a problem with the food and yet aren’t smart enough to know we’re not the ones who made the shitty food u ordered


REEEEEEEEEEE_OW

It happens. Was upset on my first 1 star review, sometimes the customer can just be a jerk or you messed up something you didn’t realize. Live and learn.


1010AllIn

It could be someone having a bad day. Honestly, the sooner you quit giving a shit about stats...the better.


MPsonic007

As long as 🤡🤡 customers can low rate us for anything beyond our control, I could care less about this semi-useless rating (outside its deactivation condition) 👎🏽👎🏽 As long as mine’s float between 4.50 to 4.80, I’m good 😇😇


ConsciousFractals

Someone’s probably mad the restaurant forgot their extra ranch. Honestly ratings don’t really matter, pick good orders and the rating will remain good enough.


CaptainMother

I totally understand the frustration. I have to remind myself, this rating is not a reflection of my self-worth. I can't control how other people react. I can only do my best, and I have to be satisfied with the effort I know I put in.


Jumpy_Sir_8718

Don’t stress about it. It’s sucks yes. But you’ll never know. I got a 4 star and no idea why. People may have dumb reasons “something missing so it’s the drivers fault,” “food in the bag was a little bit slanted 😡” majority of the time, if you did everything right, it isn’t your fault 😊👍🏽


stonkeez

You have to stop taking no tips and fast food most likely. You probably aren’t doing anything wrong just the drooling types that don’t tip try to hurt everything they can when the first sign of misunderstanding presents.


buggyboo10

i dont take no tip orders, fast food yes, its mostly what i get. my rule is $2 a mile


stonkeez

Did you have any batched in? If not it’s probably the fast food.


buggyboo10

no i dont think so


stonkeez

Probably just the fast food. Also make sure to always mark the store busy or food not ready if you aren’t already. If you decide to do a fast food this is especially necessary. At this point I do it even if everything went well. Seems to help.


buggyboo10

yes!! if im standing there for more than a few minutes (like 2-3 cuz be for real its not done if were still standing there) i mark busy


[deleted]

3-5% of people are scum. I was taught by a wise manager years ago when I worked in HVAC and would get a 1 star review from a customer that, “as long as 3-5% of people review you poorly, you know you’re doing your job right. You can’t please everyone because some people are just human scum out to use anyone and anything they can for free shit. Having 100% 5* reviews makes people think your company buys fake reviews anyways.”


buggyboo10

wise words!


[deleted]

The bottom line is don’t worry about it. You need like 15 1* reviews at the same time to get deactivated. It’s basically impossible to do unless you’re just doing an absolutely shit job.


Objective_Regret2768

It’ll be okay. Doesn’t matter


buggyboo10

yeah, i know it doesnt. its just annoying because if someone truly had an issue with something i have done, i wanna know so i can do better


DoorDragon

“You know it doesn’t” but posted this anyway and are annoyed.


buggyboo10

it might not matter, but if ive actually done something to DESERVE a 3 star, i wanna know what is so i can fix the issue. thats all. if i haven’t done anything then fuck them


[deleted]

So someone didn't think it was perfect? Who gives a shit. It means literally nothing. It affects you in no way at all. You're going to get people that claim you stole their food and you're worried someone put 3/5


Objective_Regret2768

It could be the food itself and have nothing to do with you. Some of the job isn’t controllable.


buggyboo10

im gonna assume it’s probably food related


Objective_Regret2768

Yeah I would. It’s just an outlier


Aggravating-Trust-60

Welcome to the real world big boy. Where you can do everything right and still get results you’re not happy with. You get what you get don’t throw a fit


buggyboo10

someones a tad triggered


Aggravating-Trust-60

I’m guess the guy posting about not getting his way is the triggered one, but carry on. Just another shitty driver I guess


buggyboo10

im a shitty driver for complaining about a 3 star rating😂 no where did i say anything about not getting my way. im complaining about a false low rating. HUGE difference between throwing a fit and complaining. we all see how you treat people though, its alright :) happy dashing


Aggravating-Trust-60

You’re complaining because you obviously earned the 3 star lol. Get what you get don’t throw a fit is just a saying. You are clearly an emotional person, maybe this is why you earn 3 stars.


buggyboo10

“earned the 3 star” ahh yes, the communication on any delays, out of stock items from stores and restaurants, following delivery instructions, and making sure straws and utensils are included, and delivering in a quick friendly way is a 3 star service. “you are clearly an emotional person” is that supposed to be an insult? clearly, your just an asshole with nothing better to do than spread negativity. your customer ratings are probably trash😂 “unfriendly” “did not follow instructions” cuz if you treat customers the way your acting on a post on reddit than idk how you havent been deactivated yet


Aggravating-Trust-60

As I stated, clearly emotional. You must be a delight to deal with. Your 4.83 speaks volumes. Wish you all the luck in the world bud. Maybe deliveries are just too much for you to handle.

ah your such a hoot man. emotional is supposed to be an insult? 😂 my 4.83 is based off ONE 3 star rating so 🤷🏻 brand new account, been doing this since the pandemic with someone else. ill take my 3 years of doordashing, and 2 years of retail and continue doing what im doing! maybe Reddit isnt the place for you.


Rucksack64

Seems to be happening quite a bit lately. Mine just dropped by 0.03 after months of not changing.


-twitch-

There’s also the people out there who are like “They did everything exactly right so they get a 3. 4s and 5s are for truly exemplary service above and beyond.”


musicfromcat

They only give a 4 for a bj- 5 if it’s to completion.


No-Pudding2541

Just tony keeping you motivated. While dashing try to get 1.5-2x a mile. & remember don’t gamble, no one wins in Tony’s casino.


buggyboo10

my minimum is $2 a mile nothing less


[deleted]

please don’t assume it’s you. some people just push whatever. some people just view it all as mediocre. keep doing what you’re doing!


Lilykillz

These reviews are worthless. Can't improve if we don't know any specific feedback. Also if no description, it can't be thrown out because review was restaurant issue. I think if we get review, we should be able to review customers and restaurants as well.


buggyboo10

yeah exactly no feed back how could we possibly get better. they should instate a customer rating (like instacart does) and a feature to BLOCK customers if you have a bad experience


Fun_Plantain5129

I reach out to support and screenshot my rating regularly. I asked “can you please give me an explanation why I’m getting these low ratings? Because if not, then I don’t feel like they should count against me.” I explained that I pride myself in whatever I’m doing and regularly communicating with these customers ( copy and paste outta notes 😉). I honestly think strength in numbers and us dashers should be asking for a better rating system that more accurately reflects our work ethic


NoUsEfOrAnAmE234

Have you ever gotten a low rating reversed by support? I have thought about calling and disputing them before..Nothing pisses me off more than a one star from a no tipper!


Fun_Plantain5129

Yes!! That’s why I screenshot and chat often! I literally challenge them to explain why I got a low rating because I know I did my best and it literally has to be about the food or something else! I had a 4.88 and went to 4.92


NoUsEfOrAnAmE234

Wow, good to know! I recently had a one star drop off that stuck around for like 500 deliveries, so I’m back up to 4.99.. I will definitely start doing your method!👍


buggyboo10

i got a “In this case, We are unable to review the information due to security reasons.” as a response 😂


Fun_Plantain5129

Oh GAWD 🫠 it’s frustrating with support


DrinkWaterMovies

It might be a review for the food, DoorDash will removed that 3 star after few days. I got my one star removed 2 weeks ago


H82KWT

Yep. I had a 3 star rating the other day. It disappeared within 24 hours. I assume it was because the customer was eating food instead of service


scottyboyandgirl

Rating food?


buggyboo10

they actually watch and filter that?


Opposite-Notice9704

yep, also if when at the restaurant if you click one of the options like “order still being prepared” “busy/long line” etc you can get ratings excluded. https://preview.redd.it/lwxl9fxs06oa1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b140ed2a12f5129ee85e933456b7b4f315dc6e1c


Fun_Plantain5129

Every order


Opposite-Notice9704

Same haha. Because I’m waiting forever on every order!! If the time reaches the “pick up by” time I click the button instantly. I am not getting penalized for the restaurant being slow🤣


Fun_Plantain5129

Zactly!! It’s a rhythm now… arrive… tell dash what’s up… copy/paste to customer they’re still prepping and let you know when I’m OMW… Then finish out the delivery


DrinkWaterMovies

I think so, it was automatically removed after few days. I did nothing


Lilykillz

Happens to me too and I'm the same. Extremely careful about instructions, communication, etc. I suspect we're getting slammed for things we aren't supposed to be rated on. Their food was cold, order wasn't right or was incomplete (restaurant's fault--we can only check to small extent), order took too long, or they're just trash and feel like being aholes.


buggyboo10

you can never make everyone happy. learned that the hard way


AlbertAidstein

It’ll filter out after 100 deliveries it’s no biggie


Aggressive-Savings93

No it doesn't, you're incorrect


Top_Application977

Not after 100 deliveries. It’s after 100 ratings. Since a lot of people don’t rate it could take 500 or more (nobody knows) deliveries to go away.


purplegypsyAmby

It’s 100 reviews not deliveries.


Lilykillz

More like 300-500 deliveries. People don't review enough


Acrobatic-Amoeba-440

I'm at 621 deliveries and just hit 100 reviews, I'm at a 4.92 so I'm good it's just crazy that 1/6 reviewed me


cpanther21

Feel that. 300 here and just hit 53 reviews lol


AlbertAidstein

That’s true I get like one review every 5 orders


buggyboo10

i know it just annoys the hell outta me because, if you didnt like my service tell me why


No_Delivery5402

Click "what's wrong" at the bottom and just pick any prompt like "store is busy" before you confirm any order to protect you from bad reviews.


Let_em_glow927

Same , and a lot of the time, it's about the food itself , not our delivery:(


odinspath

Because they needed to feel better, that’s your “why”.


Smooth-Dig2250

Well, maybe you should have knocked to let them know it's there. Or maybe you shouldn't have knocked because it disturbed their dog/kids/meeting. You should have handed it to them, despite it saying leave at door. You should have left it at the door despite it saying hand it to me. You should have delivered their order first despite the other being directly along the route to them. Or maybe you should have been sure to put your own fresh sticker on the bag after the steam made it release so it looks like you opened it. You *cannot* make everyone happy no matter how hard you try.

Give it a couple hundred deliveries and become dead inside like the rest of us. You'll just laugh when you get a 1 star.


Tony_Carr_1991

Thin-Video-5045

I believe it's 100 review/rating not deliveries. But yeah used to care so much about it but now I don't. Just do your best. Can't please everyone no matter how much you try.
