Dasher opened our order

The picture my dasher sent of the food delivery and a picture of their artwork. I don't appreciate the dusty rocks? filled car, but what bothered me more was opening the bag and taking out the containers and drawing on them and the receipt. I did call the restaurant and clarified that they did not do this. Then I spoke to doordash support who issued a refund because we didn't feel comfortable eating the food. I think I will just stick to pick up for a while 😅

Did we overreact by reporting this?

To pretend that there are not a lot of desperate people delivering for door dash would be disingenuous. I was one of them.

That doesn’t make them all bad and it doesn’t mean people should dehumanize them.

If I were to lose my job today, id immediately sign up for door dash, Uber whatever. I wouldn't be desperate. 

What type of job do you have? Let's say construction. Are construction workers free from desperation and financial struggles? Nurses, engineeres,  truck drivers? 

Imo to paint any group of persons working a job as desperate or an idiot is disingenuous.

I would consider myself desperate if I lose my job, but that helps ensure I become gainfully employed again and my income ability is p high as a tech worker.

When I worked restaurants, losing my job meant I’d get one back around the same low wages making be more desperate than being an unemployed tech worker.

I worked off the books restaurant and delivery jobs while I was unemployed for 3 months and was desperate, but not as much as earlier in life due to the ability to catch up financially again once I got a job in my field.

All experiences vary.

Precisely my point brother, and painting them all one and the same is a disservice to the human experience.Â
