Then I’m unclear what process you’re advocating, here. What do you think the driver did wrong, that could have been done differently to avoid losing the address?
That’s literally exactly what happened.
“She says, ‘You just told me to have a blessed night? You said you were at home? I got your location,’” Morris recalled.
Morris believes the customer was able to track her home using the app’s GPS since the order was never marked as delivered.
FWIW, IMO, the discussion as to whether or not she should have been able to get to the customer’s house and make the delivery is an unrelated distraction. Even if the driver picked up the food and took it home for herself, that still doesn’t warrant what the customer did.
Edit: I think it’s also worth noting that even if she did make the delivery, since she wouldn’t have been able to mark it as delivered in the app, the customer would still have the driver’s address. I certainly wouldn’t want this (or any other) customer to know where to find me.
I’ll preface my remarks by saying that nothing justifies violent vandalism against delivery drivers.
It is a bit odd, though, that Door Dash was able to get the location of the driver’s phone even though the driver said they lost internet connection. If they had lost connection, Door Dash couldn’t have gotten real-time updates on the location of her phone.
Perhaps by the time she returned home, her connection has resumed - but if that were the case, why didn’t she make the delivery? Where did the chicken wings end up? Does Door Dash have some kind of policy on what drivers should do when they can’t complete their order? Is this communicated to the customers?
There’s an odd exchange in the article:
Morris explained that after returning home, the customer began calling her repeatedly.
“She says, ‘You just told me to have a blessed night? You said you were at home? I got your location,’” Morris recalled.
Makes it seem like the customer was getting stiffed on the order because the driver… ran out of time? Just decided to go home, cause it was late?
(Also as an aside: TMJ4 News? My jaw is doing just fine, thank you…)
And, I’ll close my remarks by pointing out:
This story was reported by journalist Ben Jordan and has been converted to this platform with the assistance of AI.
Maybe not surprising that the level of inquiry here is less than complete…
I don’t think that’s true - I think once the delivery was made, the tracking would end. The reason the customer found her address was because there was a little indicator on her map that showed where the driver was, and from that she got the address. I’d be surprised if Door Dash even knows her address, except for tax and accounting purposes.
Which is precisely the point I made a few posts ago.
Her phone lost the connection to the app. She then returned home, but at some point, her phone re-connected. And that’s how the customer tracked her location.
And your earlier point is well taken: if her phone was ‘live’ again, she should have delivered the food. Or at least reported that she was unable to deliver the food.
Just a matter of time before there’s a serious accident due to loonies following up on social media threats and targeting “chemtrail” planes.
That’s my guess. The other possibility being that the app’s UI wasn’t working, but it was still calling home with her location. In the article, it says ‘she lost her internet connection with the app’, so it could go either way.
How long should she wait to see if it starts working again? In the video, I believe she said she parked and waited about 10 minutes but left because she didn’t want to be parked in front of some random person’s house. 10 minutes feels like plenty of time to wait. As for what happened to the food, no idea, maybe she brought it back to the restaurant, maybe she ate it, for all we know, maybe she called DoorDash and got directions from them on the proper protocol.
How would you do that if you can’t access the app?
How do you know that she didn’t?
Maybe she DID report it and the doordash people told her to keep it and they’d place the order again?
For WTMJ, a Milwaukee television station (Channel 4) and radio station. The callsign was/is a reference to “The Milwaukee Journal” (now the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel), which was the owner of the stations.
I never knew that.
In that case, one would think that her connection to the app would have been broken and the customer would not have been able to track her.
Planes that produce vapor trails are typically tens of thousands of feet up. At that distance, a laser that is capable of producing a dangerous beam would have to be many many times more powerful than most people could get their hands on, not to mention that much power tends to cook the air it is passing through to the point that it cannot even get though the air due to the heatwave distortion. If you could design a laser that could dazzle a pilot at cruise altitude, it would be a laser that could phsically damage the plane itself.
Anti-“chemtrailers” aren’t talking about doing their thing when planes are at cruise altitude.
They also discuss attacking pilots.
It’s 
most of the time, but some seem deranged enough to go through with it.
It’s stuff like this that makes me happy to have a 2006 Scion xB without anything more complicated than a CD player in the radio. (Well, it does have thumb buttons on the steering wheel to control the music, woo-hoo.) It’s also why I keep a beat-up old street atlas in the car, which has never failed me.
There’s now some clarification about the DoorDash story. She actually did make it to the customer’s house. Why she didn’t ring the doorbell, I don’t know, but I’m assuming she has her reasons or maybe she did and there wasn’t an answer, in any case, it wasn’t addressed anywhere I saw.
She went back home in order to get her phone on her wifi so she could call DoorDash and let them know what’s going on. The DoorDash person “said he would take care of it on his end, and the order disappeared”.
This one is more depressing than stupid-mfer. A woman was found stuck in a clothing donation box. She was extracted, but went into cardiac arrest and they were unable to resuscitate her. She was thought to be around 40, plus or minus 5 years.
Of course we could make a crass joke about where the box was that she was stuck in. But, oh Lord, we are not so tasteless.
With a rubber dick? Seems pretty weak-sauce to me.
Probably because the DoorDash app is also how drivers confirm they made deliveries and she’d be out of pocket otherwise. Though it does explain how the connectivity came back.
That’s pretty shitty of the support agent, though. And on DoorDash for saying “nope, you pay for repairs first, we’ll pay you back later”.
So she drove up to the guy’s house, carrying his food that he had paid for, and because she had a problem with her phone, she turned around and drove away, taking his dinner with her? While I can’t condone his methods, I can certainly emphasize with his motivation. I’d have been angry enough to smash a car too, especially if my blood sugar was low.
Just for the record, it helps a lot to say what the actual content of your link is. All I can tell without clicking is that a Florida man struck something (based on the URL I can see), and that he did it because he was bored (from what you said). That could be almost anything. Nothing about that suggests that what he did was lasering a police helicopter.
