TL;DR - Guy thinks the customer equivalent of love bombing will get him something extra. I did absolutely nothing different aside from maybe being a bit petty.

The minute he started all the texting I knew this guy was gonna be annoying somehow. Then when I saw the whole recharging his card and adding a tip thing and just knew this guy was the add on to my double order. I did not believe for a second he was gonna do anything for me, so I just went about it like normal.

I will admit a was smirking a bit when the employee asked if 4 will do and I just said yes. Why give a cheapskate even more free stuff than normal, heck only reason I asked was to ensure no negative reviews. Also didn't use my hotbag, was semi warm at drop off.

As predicted, base pay only with no tip at anytime. Probably thought saying that would get him better service or something.

Edit to Add:

So apparently people think they are high and mighty "cause they would never". It was a total of 1.5 miles and in the direction towards home. I was about to end dash before it popped up and thought why not, I am literally wasting fractions of gas more on this than if I just went home and I got no where to be. Even if it was not on the way home I still probably would have taken it for the target run, baby medicine and Pedialyte. Please remember that we do not all have the same market! I am just shy of (admittedly pointless) platinum, bounce between cause I truly don't care about AR, and I will be lucky with an order over $10. This isn't even my main job too so I care less about the amount so long as I get enough to buy rewards for the kids.

So I guess some context will help you get why this is not just caution, but basically playing with trouble if you do it.

I live in a place near a military base known for its horrible reputation, honestly it is just the worst, and it has long since effected the 3 cities built around it. Thus house was half way into countryside in a house that had holes in which I could see the inside of the house through, yet it was very clear at least one person lived there in a non-squatter/homeless way.

I stayed in car and was gonna get out only when I saw the person, called the number attached to the Door Dash account (different). No answer. Text I am here. No answer. I call one last time with no answer before going through customer service. Sent the text above and then after a bit left.

The amount of people in my area who have been scammed/hacked by giving out their number or calling an unknown one is ridiculous. I have no doubt in my mind that if I called that number I would be lucky to get out of it with verbal assault and nothing else. Dumb as hell that they would ask this in my area.
