Ever since people invented delivery services, they have been the source of various funny and sad stories – as well as many other areas of social interaction between people. The problem has become especially acute with the advent of online delivery, where the courier and the customer may not meet at all – and this, alas, opens up the field for all sorts of fraud.
Usually, the courier of the delivery service becomes the offended party in such stories. At least because any delivery service is primarily a business per se, and many bosses still operate on the principle of “the customer is always right.” And many customers just abuse it…
This rather strange story first surfaced a few days ago on the Reddit Public Freakout community, where it racked up 91.6K upvotes and almost 3K comments. The Original Poster noted that the video they posted was taken from the YouTube channel of the person who originally filmed it, but was later deleted along with the entire channel.
More info: Reddit
The original video was filmed by a Dasher who allegedly lost his job as a result of a customer’s fraud

So, according to the video, its author works as a courier for DoorDash. Or rather, he worked. Because, having signed in to work early that day, the man found out that he had been fired. From what he said, that was the problem. Earlier that day, he had delivered a burrito to some office, and the receptionist acted as the customer.

The man claimed that he delivered a $10 burrito successfully but later the woman, for some reason, reported her food undelivered
According to the delivery man, the woman took her order, but then, for some reason, noted online that the food had not been delivered. As a result, the customer saved $10 on a burrito, and the Dasher lost his job, which, as he claims in the video, was his main and only source of income.

The man said this directly to her face, claiming that because of her, he lost his job, and several times allowed himself to be insulted. According to the man’s words, he had previously used illegal substances, but for many years he has been absolutely clean of them.

The customer just promised to contact DoorDash to settle things
The woman in the video was either shocked by this turn of events, or really felt guilty. At least she didn’t protest too much, promising to “contact DoorDash and settle things.” The Dasher also asked who raised her, and demanded the phone number of a senior manager, claiming that he wanted her to be fired as well. He repeated the same thing to another man who approached him at the end of the video.

People in the comments supported the Dasher and slammed the customer, demanding to fire her immediately
Then stranger things started to happen. Of course, many commenters, despite noting that the Dasher was not behaving appropriately, agreed that his voice sounds on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and expressed sympathy to the courier. The receptionist, who allegedly illegally saved $10 on her burrito, has also been scathingly criticized by people in the comments.

The woman was called a fraudster and people called on the company’s management to immediately fire her. According to some commenters, the fact that she did not even make eye contact with the accuser speaks for itself. It would seem that everything is clear and the case is closed. But in fact, everything is not so simple…
First, according to the Original Poster on Reddit, the Dasher’s entire YouTube channel was deleted literally immediately after its publication. Secondly, one of the commenters in the thread wrote that the man finally managed to talk to DoorDash support and he was returned to work, and the receptionist, on the contrary, was fired.
A DoorDash spokesperson allegedly clarified that the claims made in the video are false
On the other hand, this information was completely unconfirmed. But Newsweek later wrote that they contacted a DoorDash spokesperson, who literally stated: “The claims made in the video are false. The Dasher was removed for violating our policies – not because of a disputed delivery.”
Be that as it may, delivery persons in various online services really often suffer from various scams and fraudsters. In any case, we continue to follow this story and will definitely tell you how it all ended. In the meantime, we are waiting for your comments – which of the parties to the conflict do you believe more?
