Door Dasher Life Fun Facts: This might be useful to think of when you're rating your Dasher.... Who's at fault in this situation?
Let's say I accept an offer for McDonalds.
I head straight there... pull up to the store, and as I walk in the app buzzes again with a 2nd order for the same McDs.
Naturally, I accept. (not accepting reduces my Acceptance rate and potentially my ability to get new offers).
Now I have two orders at the same place! Great! Efficient!
The first order comes up quickly, I put it in my bag, 'pick it up' in the app, and wait for the 2nd order.
Now the fun begins. The restaurant says the 2nd order will be 10 minutes beyond the pickup time. I notify the app, and both customers of the wait... and I wait... and wait... if I remove the 2nd order from my app it affects my completion rate *and* means the customer has to wait for another dasher to come along.
Eventually the 2nd order is ready and I head out to make the deliveries. Both of course now late.. the first potentially cold (even in an insulated bag) *and* late.
In addition, sometimes, often a day or two later, the dasher will receive a “Contract Violation” for the lateness. 3 Contract Violations in a short period and you can be deactivated.
So... there ya go. It happens. I'm never sure what the best course of action is... unless both orders are immediately ready, which you can never predict, someone will end up losing; the store, customer, dasher, or a mix of all three.

P.S. It's worth noting that Door Dash is the only service I know of that is this strict. Uber Eats does not have mechanisms like this (at least in my experience). Never used Skip, so can't say on that.

As you might have imagined, last night during the #WorldSeries was a good night for #DoorDashing
There were few lulls.
4:23PM - 10:09PM
18 DD = $120.50
5 UE = $49.73
But it was also a weird night because two things happened that have never before:
1) I had to return a whole UE order because it contained alcohol, the customer had no valid ID, and the Uber app refused to complete it any other way. So be forewarned! (I was shocked that I still got full pay!?)
2) I came *this* close to running out of charge in the EV! It is only the second time since owning the car that it has gone under 5%! The little 🐢 icon came on and everything! It is not usually a problem but with commuting to work 170km (starting with 80% charge) cooler weather, rain, using the defog constantly for 5.5 hours while dashing and an extra long night (I usually only go to 9PM) I pushed it a little too far! 😂 I did 30kph for the last 3km from the last delivery to home base. 😂 🪫 I should have realized the night before and charged to 90 or 100%.
