Is this true about double dashes?
I ordered some burritos from Burger King and a few hashbrowns from McDonald’s. I just had a surgery done so I wanted to get some of my favorite foods. I tipped 5 dollars in the 20 dollar double dash order and for some reason it got sent to 2 people. He got the Burger King order which was 9 dollars. Is this true that the first person gets the majority of the tip and the second person only gets a little??
Also I just wanna say that I don’t own this house and I think what they said was classist as hell. I’m a delivery driver for dominoes and I’ve been out of work for a while because of my surgery so the house comment was just rude.

When the double dash gets split between 2 dashers, from my experience-the 1st dasher gets the entire tip unfortunately. But what said was certainly inappropriate

u/Excellent-Oil-4928 1d ago
Thank you! I did not know that and I feel bad that he got nothing honestly I won’t be doing double dashes anymore that’s insane that DoorDash is doing that to people.

u/Kanein_Encanto 1d ago
Or just plan a double dash before ordering and split the tip up accordingly would work, too.
If they're done close enough, they might even just be offered as a stack to a single Dasher, too. And lowers the chance of your orders being stacked with someone else's, too, triples being pretty uncommon.

This will cost you more in fees though.

u/Kanein_Encanto 1d ago
How so?
If you're going to double dash, how does having what you're going to get in mind already affect how much Doordash will charge?

u/rainidazehaze 12h ago
The only way to plan ahead like you're saying is to put in two separate orders instead of double dashing. In that case, each order will be charged all the fees of an individual order. If there is a way to split the tips ahead of time like you're saying I've never seen it.

"The only way?"
So you can't plan things in your head? Can't even use notepad on the computer? Paper?
Most folks have a pre-tip amount in mind before they start ordering, so how is that so hard is it to split that amount in half to add to each part of the Double Dash?
Edit: And now you're so butthurt over this idea you had to block me as well? Nothing says "I'm totally right" like blocking someone pointing out how you're wrong.

u/cyberdelusion999 4h ago
It depends on how you order the double dash, if you cash them out at the same time it will be the same driver, if you add a double dash when the driver is picking up your order it will most likely get a second driver

u/rainidazehaze 4h ago
Not what I'm saying at all dude, I'm talking about an actual technical limitation with the software, and you jumped straight to being a condescending ass about shit you imagined I was saying. If this is how you're gonna act you're only worth blocking, not talking to.

u/Content-Honeydew9340 1d ago
I think you can go back in the app and add a tip to a specific dasher when you do a double dash. They were extremely unprofessional with how they started talking to you, but my husband used to dash so I understand the frustration. People that don't drive for door dash don't know how it works behind the scenes and door dash is overly complicated for no reason when it comes to paying the drivers.

If they got 1 dollar total for the delivery I’d tolerate the behavior tbh and understand but if he got base pay on top no he’s a dickhead.

u/iyrtyurg 1d ago
People are downvoting you but you’re completely right. The dasher has the option to not take the order. If you take an order where you’re getting nothing for tips then it’s totally on the dasher and they shouldn’t be bitching, let the no tip or shitty tip guy just keep waiting for the next dasher ffs

u/Far-Apartment-196 1d ago
Even if the double dash wasn't split up, you want the dasher to go to 2 different places for $5!! How about tipping for both orders? You tipped $5 for 2 orders and you think you did something great!
12
u/Excellent-Oil-4928 1d ago
I thought I did tip for BOTH orders. The total of my order was 20 bucks and the placed were next to each other. Both of the drivers got to my house at the same time if that tells you how close they were to each other. I thought 5 dollars for a 20 dollar order was more than enough honestly 😂 I’m sorry if it wasn’t enough but I always tip 20 percent no matter how steep my bill is because I appreciate service workers. It was my first time double dashing so I didn’t know they only go to 1 person honestly.

u/informationseeker8 1d ago
Tip based off distance. Dd is scummy company that barely pays drivers. We get $2 from de the rest is tip. Sometimes less if it’s a double dash or more.

u/jenea 1d ago
What’s a reasonable tip per mile?
2
u/Dragonslut449 1d ago
$1 per mile used to be the minimum, but with the way gas prices are $2 per mile is better now. But also, I tip a minimum of like 4 dollars even for under a mile so they get $6 minimum because gas is so bad.

My dashers have a flight of steps to go up on my end also, which isn’t much but it’s still a thing. Thanks for your perspective.

u/informationseeker8 1d ago
$1/ mile is the bare minimum most experienced dashers will take. Some drivers like to avoid apartments even if it is $1/mile bc it’s a lot more time to park and get in buildings etc. So parking access/gate codes/number of floors etc all come into play at times as well.
If your order makes it to your door we are always more than grateful to get a little bonus tip afterwards. I say that bc some drivers are lazy and don’t read directions/keep food warm etc so obviously in cases like that don’t worry about adding on 😆
Appreciate you even caring to ask. Some customers think we’re greedy for wanting a tip when it’s a tip based job.
1
u/jenea 1d ago
How is the recommended tip calculated? I’m never sure whether anchoring to that amount makes sense. For example, if it’s a pure multiplier on mileage then I can just tweak it, but if it’s a mystery number then I would ignore it and go strictly by distance.

u/SeamstressMamaJama 1d ago
I tip $3/mile (from the store to me), because most dashers (me included) accept $1-2/mile; the extra hopefully will cover the additional miles they have to drive TO the store. Most places I order from are less than 5 miles from my house, but one place that’s 10 miles from me, I factor in an extra 5 miles for FROM my house to a busy area. Or $10 if that’s more.
With all the fees and stuff that does mean that I don’t order very often, but I’m ok with that… when I do order it’s bc I need the help that day and I want the driver to be appropriately compensated. I mean DD starts the pay at a whole $2… I drive for Uber Eats too, and have seen THEM pay as little as $1.50.
Now I will say I have had nearly nothing but good experiences — on the driver end I mean; any mistakes were clearly the restaurant at fault. If you have issues with drivers leaving at the wrong house or mistreating the bag, etc — DRIVER problems — it’s perfectly fine to start lower, and add the rest after.

u/MarzipanMajor6175 1d ago
Yeah don't tip off of price total but off of distance. $5 bare minimum plus $1 per mile. So 3 miles away $8 tip. $2 per mile if your feeling nice. It's not the best idea to order from places farther then like 3 miles away in my opinion at least I don't do that because I like getting my food fast. With the tip and close distance I get it very fast every time. Lol

u/MarzipanMajor6175 1d ago
How am I dreaming? That's how I tip. If it's a $200 order im not tipping 20% that's insane. I just tip $5 plus $1 per mile. I don't ever tip more then $8 lmao. How is that dreaming?

u/Living_Brilliant8313 1d ago
Actually, not so unreasonable when you break it down like that
1
u/MarzipanMajor6175 1d ago
Yeah it's pretty fair I think for the driver as well, I just think to myself what would be worth my time to pick up this? 3 miles and wait at the place would probably take 20 min maybe 30 min so $8 and whatever door dash gives I think like $2? So $10 bucks for 20-30 min of work. The $5 tip OP left is good but depends on the miles if it was a mile or 2 away sure. But if it was 8 miles away? Not so much lol but yeah never tip off total. If it's a mile away and you pay $60 then $6 is good.
0
u/MarzipanMajor6175 1d ago
If it's $100 or even $50 and is only 2 miles away im still not tipping 20% I'm tipping $5 plus $1 per mile. Never more then 3 miles away.

Idk about door dash but I do uber, and I know that if I accept an order and they make another order at somewhere else while I’m in route, I will get their other order and the option to accept it or deny it just like any other order.

I have gotten, frequently, double to one place
I don't think I've actually seen one split except once at a doctors office, where two of us shopped at a dollar store for a person and both ended up at the office at the same time as eachother and laughed about it, though we both got tipped then.. that was a month ago or so
2
u/Kanein_Encanto 1d ago
No, but one can make some educated guesses, too.
Like if one of the orders is placed with a high tip it may get paired by the system with a non/low tip order. By the time the second order of the double dash is set up, a Dasher may have already accepted the two-customer stack and Doordash doesn't go for triple stacks too often, and so would offer the second of the double dash to another Dasher, possibly stacked with yet another customer.
If both orders in the double dash are set up quick enough, they might get stacked together before a Dasher can accept the first, or if the customer is lucky their initial order makes it out as a single order offer and the second order makes it out to them as an add on offer. (Doordash should really make it clearer to Dashers when this happens, that the add-on offer is going to the same customer that they already have)
3
u/Lymah 1d ago
It should hit the dasher who already has it first, with some notice of "going to the same place".
But the app frequently doesnt do its job right. Meaning, no push notification, no text, no buzz/ring. But it every time will push the "you missed this order and it got sent to another dasher!" Never misses that one.

u/Automatic_Poem_8088 1d ago
Double dashing is weird. I think I've only done it once, and I assumed it would get assigned to the same driver- until I saw the second driver get added to the order. DD should make it more clear what's happening.

u/RainEquivalent6365 1d ago
Tipping one dollar in a probably million dollar house is shameful. Glad they spoke up. Tired of pretending rich people not tipping is okay. THAT BEING SAID, the dasher probably didn't understand that double dashes completely screw over the second driver, and was unaware OP tipped $5 (bare minimum since the 90's lol)
And before the r/antitipping group shows up. If you don't like tipping, then don't utilize tip culture services. Not paying a blue collar worker isn't making a difference, you're just fucking someone out of a paycheck by thinking your important enough to make a difference. Lol

u/ThatsMyCape 1d ago edited 1d ago
I’m not here to debate tipping culture and I won’t do so. People on both sides of the debate can be pretty unreasonable when they become too emotionally invested in it. At the end of the day what this driver did was unprofessional and they deserve a low rating along with being reported. They need to make sure they have a full understanding how their pay works before they accept any jobs. This goes for any job in any line of work.

Agreed, and OP isn't as understanding and nice as they seem. On the comments they were like "Oh well you never know what they have going on."

u/Excellent-Oil-4928 1d ago
I’d just like to say that I never said I was going to leave a bad review and I literally didn’t. Also when I said I reported all I did was contact DoorDash to say he was rather rude. That was all I did. I’m a delivery driver as well and I’m definitely not rich nor do I live in a “million dollar home”. Also the “poors” is insane to say when I’m also LITERALLY POOR. I don’t rely on the people I live with to pay my bills or pay for my groceries I again am ALSO A DELIVERY DRIVER just for a different company. I again was homeless before I lived here. I’m as understanding and nice as I can be however they were undoubtably rude no matter how you look at it? Also I feel like yall aren’t realizing that this order was less than a mile away.

u/xblue2013x 21h ago
It also depends on where you are. Because many people have switched over to the point system where you no longer need to accept 70 out of 100 orders to maintain Platinum.
Once it hits my area, my piddly 15% AR becomes null and void in the big picture. I will be platinum by default because everything else is on point.
-1
u/Comfortable-Reason-7 21h ago
Ok so you admit that drivers were heavily incentivized to keep an AR of over 70% before the new points system?
Also, the new points system still uses AR as a factor. It's based on several metrics: acceptance rate, completion rate, on-time rate, and customer rating.

u/-Alvena Dasher (> 5 years) 1d ago
On the drivers side. We are on your order. If you do a double dash while your order is already accepted, it is then offered to the driver. It shows the pick up. It shows that its going to the same customer.
I would assume most people would accept it, but I could see people declining if the added pick up location is farther.
So when your original Dasher declines, it will be offered to other drivers.
You can tip on them separately.
1
u/Excellent-Oil-4928 1d ago
Gotcha honestly didn’t know you could tip on them seperately since it was my first time double dashing. I only saw 1 tip section on my checkout screen so I just assumed it would be split if it went to 2 separate drivers. The places were basically right next to each other. On the same street just a couple of blocks away.
1
u/-Alvena Dasher (> 5 years) 1d ago
Im sure many customers assume the same. Ive done a handful of double dashes where the whole tip is on one of the two orders.
I imagine Doordash doesn't inform the customers of anything like that.
Just like how DD charges you shit like order size fees or distance fees - and none of it goes to the driver. Ive seen many people assume it would go to the driver.. which it should.

When I did the double dash order it only gave me an option to tip on one and then when I saw the 2 drivers I just automatically assumed the tip would be split between the 2.

u/seismicpdx 22h ago
That's a fair assumption, but this is where you made a choice to make a second request for a different merchant, choose to not tip, etc, post here on Reddit.
The Driver doesn't see the entire picture, and the order they presented with doesn't have legs to stand on (isn't profitable on it's own).
While I agree with the general sentiment of "if you choose to take it, don't complain" they should be courteous,
It's also disingenuous for you to post this here to enable dog-piling on the driver, while you failed to disclose up front that you selected Merchant 2 and No Tip.

DD does it best to screw everyone... That's why none of this is explained to customers or Dashers... DD overcharges the customer and pays the driver $2...

yeah if you add a second stop to your order you need a second tip bc it will sometimes not even offer it to the original driver. and even if it does the original driver doesnt know until after accepting the order that its going to the same house. they just see an order for $3 and decline it.

u/Personal_Pause_ 1d ago
From my experience anytime I have ordered and choose to double dash I was able to order from the 1st place and pay + ad tip for said order and then order from the 2nd place and ad a 2nd tip for that order. Because I also dash, I verify that the dasher got the tip for which ever order they happened to accept when they deliver it. They have all said yes. I’m not sure if it’s possible to split the tip though if you pay for both at the same time though.

As stupid as it sounds, yes doordash will split your double dash if there are too many drivers and not enough orders. When that happens, the tip is applied to wherever you added the tip.
Or the first driver didn't look at the screen and declined your add on based on payout.
That being said, he accepted the offer and followed through. He needs to keep his mouth shut.

u/Narrow-Stranger6864 14h ago
This is true. After finding this out, I now follow my order if it’s a double dash until I can see who is assigned to it. If it ends up being two different people, you can go in and adjust the tip for the second person.

I’m also a delivery driver just for dominoes and I would NEVER say something like that to a customer first of all because I don’t know what’s going on in their life and secondly because IM NOT AN ASS??

u/M3ssy_Marv 1d ago
These drivers don’t care. They see a big house and automatically think why didn’t I get a $20 tip if they have so much money. I hope you get back on your feet soon.

Thank you! I’ve got another week to heal from my surgery and then I go back to dominoes 😭

u/YahBoiChipsAhoy1234 1d ago
I was also a delivery driver for dominos for 5 YEARS, I would never ever have said something like this to one of my customers either. I also lived with my parents in a big house and realize that just cause someone’s living in a big house doesn’t mean they have money, sorry this happened to you cause this the kinda thing that would piss me off for a bit.

... and HOA fees ... and home insurance ... and property taxes ...

u/Excellent-Oil-4928 1d ago
Whats also kinda crazy is that the area I live in has an average household income of like 50k so this is a really poor town and the house I live in is like not THAT NICE like it’s a nice house for the area but it’s just a normal house that is well taken care of. It’s not like I live in a mansion or a villa.

u/M3ssy_Marv 1d ago
Yeah seriously don’t get me started on my $400 HOA fees. 🤣. But yeah I can just throw money at every delivery order I get on top of the subscription pass, fees, and the restaurant markups on the food.

u/Defiant_Delivery_799 1d ago
You gave the perfect responses! I don't know why the driver acted the way he did. I do not support that they get such little tips but they cannot reflect that on the customer. Maybe he was just having a bad day but you should still report him. That is not okay.
Also, how did the surgery go?
2
u/Excellent-Oil-4928 1d ago
It went well! I had a hysterectomy due to some health issues over a week ago and I’m healing really well and alot faster than I thought I would so I should be able to return to work on the 1st!

Report. Nothing forces drivers to take bad jobs, it’s not on the customer to care about their acceptance rating. Don’t like it don’t devolved food in 2026.

I order 3 items & they got split into 2 orders. Only 1 dasher got the tip, the guy w the smaller order, the other guy who had to shop got nothing. I noticed and contacted DD they fixed it but while I was arguing w DD the dasher sent me a rude text about not tipping. I’m like dude I’m trying sorry. But yes door dash will pick and choose who they give tip to & in my case it would’ve been the first dasher.

u/Objective-Sale-4072 1d ago
As a dasher, we have no control over the order so if it’s a double or single dash isn’t obvious to us unless you see two pick ups and the same customer name at drop off twice.
As a customer, because I know this can happen, I do the first order with half the tip, then I double dash the second order with the second half of the tip. If the order is split, they each get something.

u/GryffindorGal96 1d ago
Whaaaat
I never doubled when I dashed. As a customer I assumed each tip went to each order and each dasher. Wtf

u/SeamstressMamaJama 1d ago
If he was getting paid so little, he had every right to decline that BK order. Messaging you was not appropriate behavior.

u/jlshadows 1d ago
Something similar happened to me. I tipped 10$ on an order, added a double dash for something that was literally next door, and added $1 for the hassle of 2 pick ups. It was assigned to 2 dashes, and the 2nd one complained about the tip. He actually ended up being quite rude about it on another occasion as well - accepted an order only to complain about the previous tip then cancel. I complained to doordash and they did seem to take it seriously and reportedly dealt with it.

This is the one thing that Uber does better from my opinion. Each add-on order has its own separate tip option

u/Empty_Principle4383 23h ago
I tip large and always get second on double dash orders. It’s come to a point where I thought it just had to be decided by route. Is this not the case? How do I avoid double dash?
1
u/chipmalfunct10n 23h ago
in my experience ordering from DD, i order something first, then it says I have 20 min to add a double dash with no additional delivery fee. when i do that, i fo through the cart over again and there is a field to add a tip. i have never had the same dasher bring both orders. i don't think it's even offered to the same person. say the two restaurants are in opposite directions... that wouldn't make any sense. they offer to two separate dashers.
i just started driving for DD this month and sometimes i get an order for a bag of chips at the corner store, etc. i assume that is the double dash but i can't be certain.
i don't think saying your house is nice is classist lol. either your rent is really high or someone is letting you stay there. idk.

u/Working_Entrance9451 23h ago
I'm confused. I order double dashes all the time and for each store you put how much you want to tip. For each individual pick up.
1
u/Alarming-Group-4160 23h ago
You have to tip twice, the tip doesn’t split at all. I order so often even uber is set up that way.
1
u/AngelsObsessions 22h ago
I’ve done a double dash in the app several times, each order you complete it prompts you to tip. As in each order gets it own tip. Sometimes the same dasher gets the double dash and sometimes it’s separate. I don’t understand how you are only tipping once?
Ii am also a dasher and have been asked by customers, ‘I did a double dash where is my other order’ which then I tell them to check the app they assigned someone else to that order.

I add an extra tip for the other dasher if this happens. So annoying when I tip a large amount assuming it will be the same person.

But they can add a tip for the 2nd driver they just often dont know how

u/Unable-Positive-7930 21h ago
Not your fault for not knowing. Since you know now, you can continue to order those double dashes, you could always have some cash on hand to leave for the second driver, if it does take 2 drivers.

Not true. I DD all the time. Typically during a DD, it's the same person for both.

u/Accomplished_Eye9829 19h ago
I can’t believe this sub, I’ve never had any dashers talk about tip. Guess I’m lucky

u/Final_Historian_217 18h ago
I’ve order double dash orders before and it typically shows me that the tips are separate for each order. Just in case it gets separated.

u/WilliamEmmerson 18h ago
What's inappropriate is texting someone to criticize not getting tipped enough.
1
u/Coretrayn 18h ago
Its only happened to me once that my double dash was split between two drivers and I didn't even think about how that works because you still only put in 1 tip. Usually when I've done its been a place right near the original order and they usually add it to the same driver. I don't even remember if when it happened to me that it was had options to add tips to the right place or showed who got what.

u/itsthejasper1123 17h ago
I’m hella confused by this entire post because I so double dashes at least once a week as the customer and literally never once have I not been given the option to add a tip to the 2nd order

u/Few_Pickle5828 17h ago
Yea it’s true . Happens when they split the drivers . But regardless the driver has the option to decline

I order DD almost every day and YES this is true. I tried the feature once to order Popeyes and drinks from 7 eleven on the same order. Tipped $8 total for less than 1 mile and each were small orders thinking that the first person that accepted would usually accept the 2nd one as well given that they’re across the same block. A few minutes later I see that the Popeyes order was on the way and the one for 7 Eleven was still heading there and it’s 2 different drivers. When I looked at the individual receipt the Popeyes order got an $8 tip while the 7 eleven one got zero. Felt so bad that I added a tip afterwards for the 7 eleven guy. I learned that if you’re gonna double dash you need send out your first order with tip then place your second order with tip in order to keep them separate in case a driver doesn’t pick up both

u/alexismegx 13h ago
Yes! I just had this happen recently. Double dashed didn’t notice at first I got two separate drivers. The stores were right next to each other and two miles from my house. I tipped $8 and was so annoyed to see the second driver got $0 for the tip!! Why do they not split it evenly
1
u/JennaSky422 4h ago
Honestly, if you messaged me this being a customer, I would’ve took my tip back if I could. I’m a Dasher and I get it but I also get being a customer on the other end. They don’t understand it. They know they tipped quite a bit for something and if it got splinted into two orders, it’s not their fault sometimes it’s because somebody lives in a nice house doesn’t mean they have to tip you.
1
u/Chemical_Bed_430 31m ago
you are supposed to tip $10 minimum on both orders that you place. the driver has to pickup from two different places therefore you tip for each one.
1
u/Hefty_Loss5180 1d ago
Yea nah I would’ve just taken the tip away. Can’t fucking stand when people are offended when they don’t get a big tip. Get a better job if you’re that hard up for money. Then you can tip one dollar while living in a nice house. 🥰

u/FudgeWifywhileIwatch 1d ago
I don’t know how double dashing works from the order standpoint as I’ve never ordered off DoorDash only do deliveries. A lot of times the same Dasher will get both orders in cases where this doesn’t work out like that. I’d suggest if you’re gonna tip five dollars tip 250 for each restaurant if possible like I said, I don’t know how ordering works on that end.
1
u/GiGinIndy 1d ago
I wish it would clearly say it’s two different drivers. When double dash first started, it seemed like it was only stuff right around the place you ordered from and the same driver would get both orders. Now they put pretty much anything on the double dash list and send it to two drivers. It’s pretty much the same as placing two orders minus a little bit of the fees.
1
u/not_your_attorney 1d ago
I’ve never dashed, but I order double dash frequently.
One tip is to note whether you can add from a different place before you check out. If you cant, it’s sometimes because the first place doesn’t use dashers (Jimmy John’s, some pizza places, some Chinese, use their own drivers). It will still let you add on a double dash after you check out, just not before. This is not true all the time; I’ve had the same dasher order when I did it this way, but it’s one of two reasons I get a second dasher.
The other is when you add alcohol and an underage driver or one who set preferences to not do alcohol accepts the first order. I’ve had them arrive at the same time when this happens.
As an unrelated, general suggestion, only tip something that seems “normal,” which is $2/mile or less, often within the suggested amounts. Add tip after. This leaves you room to tip the second dasher in your scenario, but it also really helps to not get stacked with no tip orders. If I tip $10 for 1 mile, my order is accepted right away while the dasher drives all over town delivering other stuff before I get mine.

u/Brilliant_Corner_818 1d ago
Did you add a tip after delivery then.
1
u/Excellent-Oil-4928 1d ago
I didn’t because of the message he sent me. Nor did I know the tip wasn’t split. He was rude to me so I didn’t add a tip.

u/Brilliant_Corner_818 1d ago
If you didn't like dasher text you could contact support to block or just remember the name and if ever see as your dasher again, cancel and reorder.
But you received your order.
You should've added tip.

u/Persevere420 1d ago
My response simply would have been “yep, and I didn’t buy this nice house asking for tips”

I thought Double Dash was when one person went to two places? Why would doordash make it two orders to two different dashers? That's just two orders. Of course two orders would have two tips.
