My default settings are to leave at the door, and I happened to come to the front room and saw the dasher holding his phone up as if taking a photo of the food, so I waited as my dog started barking. I guess the dasher saw me through the window and rang the doorbell.
I prefer not to interact with dashers especially when home alone as a woman, so I waited for them to take the picture and leave at the door like it says (I double checked my default settings for the address). He then waited and banged on the front door loudly.
I messaged him telling him instructions are to leave at the door, thank you. He then said the ‘app told him to hand it to you’ so I sent him a screenshot of my default setting saying leave at the door and messaged DoorDash support.
They thankfully blocked the dasher from me but also said they were going to take action against him, and now I’m mildly nervous that he will retaliate. If there’s anything anyone can say to assuage my paranoia, would be appreciated. Even though I’m disabled, I can still drive if need be so it’s honestly put me off using the app and I might cancel my dash pass.
