A Wisconsin woman has shared a concerning experience involving a DoorDash delivery that left her uneasy after a driver allegedly sent her personal messages and asked for her phone number despite her having selected a no-contact delivery option. The incident, posted on Reddit, raised concerns about driver behavior, customer privacy, and safety in app-based delivery services.
The Wisconsin woman shared her account on Reddit’s r/doordash community, where it quickly gained attention and sparked discussion. She said she was home alone at the time of the delivery and had clearly selected instructions for the order to be left at her door. The post drew replies from other users who debated safety practices and how delivery apps handle customer-driver communication.
According to her post, the driver later messaged her, claiming, “I think we met before,” referring to a previous delivery near her home, where he allegedly worked on a neighboring property. The woman said she did not recognize him and strongly denied ever meeting him. She also said she believed he may have identified her address from earlier work in the area rather than any personal interaction.
The Wisconsin woman added that the driver continued the conversation beyond the delivery and asked for her phone number, which she described as inappropriate and uncomfortable given the professional context. The woman said she changed her name in the app after the incident due to concern and frustration. She also stated that DoorDash provided her with a small credit after she reported the situation and that she hopes the driver will be removed from the platform.
Users React To DoorDash Incident in Wisconsin
Most reactions to the post were strongly supportive, with many users advising the Wisconsin woman to report the driver and request that he be blocked from future orders. Several commenters suggested contacting DoorDash customer support to ensure the driver would not be assigned to her again and to document the complaint in case of future incidents formally.
Others shared similar experiences involving unwanted messages or boundary-crossing behavior from delivery workers and customers. Some users said they had changed their display names or adjusted account settings to avoid unwanted attention, while others said they had successfully requested to be blocked from specific drivers. A recurring point in the discussion was that contactless delivery does not prevent in-app messaging, which some users said can still feel intrusive when personal boundaries are crossed.
There was also some disagreement in the thread. A small number of users questioned the severity of the situation or asked for more context, while others strongly disagreed, saying that asking for a customer’s phone number or making personal comments is inappropriate regardless of intent.
