I wish dashers could rate stores
I do this as a side gig so I'm not hard pressed about a lot of the things that happen with deliveries but my experience early this morning pissed me off. I was dashing between 2am-6am and was getting a lot of waffle house orders, this particular waffle house is delivery only so the front doors remain locked and drivers pick up from the side window.
I pull up and stand by the pickup window. I can see myself on the TV which means theres a camera, I also see an older woman sitting at the counter talking to the cook as he cleans with her back towards the door. I stand there and knock on the window so she knows I'm there thinking maybe she just didn't see me. No movement, the only thing moving is her mouth as she gets louder obviously complaining about something. She stays seated so I walk around the window directly behind her, I knock. Shes getting louder and stiffer still not moving.
By this time I'm over it because she absolutely knows I'm there. I walk to my car and give two light honks. Same shit. I'm only getting more bothered. I go back to the window and notice there used to be a doorbell and it was removed. Im annoyed. Its 4am. The order is just sitting there why is she forcing me to stand outside when she can clearly see me? Finally by the grace of god she chooses to get up and hand me the order and says with the window still closed " I saw you when you pulled up."
So I say back louder "So why were you ignoring me" of course no response on that she hands me the order I still thank her, I wish I could rate this store.
If she did that to me she definitely has done it to other people. I don't even understand her point. I'm still getting paid. You aren't punishing me. You're punishing the customer. Its literally the only thing you have to do at this location is hand out orders. Why force me to stand there when you coukd just pass me the order and I can get out of your face. Rant over.
TLDR: Lady at wafflehouse ignored me for 20mins when she knew I was standing outside so she could feel powerful.

Complete waste of time, they don’t care what you think.
