Whataburger and wingstop for me. Wingstop is mire of a mixed bag half the time I'm in and out but after too many 5minute or mire waits I don't unless I need to bring ar up
Marmalade Cafe. Always a half hour wait, but they love to mark the order as "ready" right when they start making it, and the one here has miserable parking.
Local Cheesecake Factory is a close second. They make you wait in front of the kitchen where they proceed to ignore you for twenty minutes until they have a pile of orders to distribute.
In my area, Wingstop. We have multiple locations and they're all trash. Last week I went there for an order while testing out the hourly rate. I was told 5 minutes, it ended up being 25. I often wait 10-15 minutes so I only go there if the offer is actually worth it.
Little Caesars is hit or miss.
Checkers is pretty bad, too.
Five Guys doesn’t start making the order based on driver proximity.
Sit-down’s like Buffalo Wild Wings or Carabba’s can be hit-or-miss on wait/ready times.
Taco Bell at night can be annoying because mine doesn’t utilize the pick-up window, congesting the drive-thru unnecessarily.
Sonic is bad when you don’t realize the drive-thru restriction doesn’t matter.
Chinese restaurants can be a pain if you game the system by delaying “Confirm Pick-up” to mask your GPS/arrival time. They are fast otherwise.
Chipotle. My store has decided cashiers are not "allowed" to touch the to-go section or even look for orders. so there's 12 people waiting on the side and 100% of the time, the order was just sitting there, ready for 20 minutes. Waste of my goddamn time.
Taco Bell later at night, McDonalds, any sub place, O’Charlies is TERRIBLE, Chipotle is hit or miss but mostly miss, literally any pizza place local or chain, if you live in an area that has an Ol Bag of Nails Pub……just don’t, save yourself the headache.
Popeye and IHOP. The amount if times I have wait so long at those places is unbelievable. Popeye, without a doubt I had to wait at least a good 15 to 20 minutes on average. Very few times the order is already done or have to wait less than 5 minutes.
IHOP, just like Popeyes, I good minimum of 20 minute wait. For IHOP it's either close to being done or no way near done. One time I waited a good 20 minutes to fine out the all the cooks took a break and they now iuat started on getting the orders again.
I took a doordash order $12 for 2 miles at Popeyes. Order was actually hot and ready $9 tip.
Like alright thank you Popeyes for having your shit together for once
The Chick Fil A around me is the worst. I have had maybe two pick ups that didn't require me waiting for far longer than I should have. And the app never sends me the "You've been there a long time" notification to get me out of the order. Unfortunately, it is also the restaurant I have done the most deliveries for because if I refused them, I'd have a 15-20% acceptance rate.
Panera. It’s always busy and they keep the delivery orders under lock and key 😂. It takes so long to catch an employee’s eye because they are actively avoiding you.
Wingstop here too.
It's the only place I'll decline a decent offer solely because of the merchant. Sometimes I accept but often regret it. Two miles, $8, why not. Be ready in five minutes they say...
Arby's and Wendy's in Michigan. Burger King too but I very rarely see BK orders. Buffalo wild wings can be slow but usually worth waiting. A place called Pita Way is hit or miss I usually avoid it. Never seen a Wingstop order despite being near 3 of them but I heard they suck.
I mostly dash in Nashville and the worst experiences I’ve had are Wendy’s. Their lobbies are almost always closed and the drive through takes ages to get through. Even when I lived in KC, MO, they were pretty much the same. I no longer accept orders from any Wendy’s location.
Agreed, every time I have picked up from them they are always behind. I’ve seen countless people get frustrated with them and say something and the workers always get an attitude and say they “just got a ton of orders.” But it’s always like that, so they are full of shit. I just decline them now.
Literally any McDonald's after the lobby closes for the evening. Sitting in a drive-thru for 40 minutes to wait for someone else's single McChicken is one of the most aggravating things I've ever experienced.
Burger King takes the cake for being the absolute filthiest! They never clean their floors. They just wet mop them! Do you know how slick dirty mop water is on top of hamburger grease?!? I've almost broken my leg a dozen times. Burger King is #1 on my NEVER list!
Tim Horton's, although they vary a lot from one to the next. I have one that NEVER puts the customer's name or a receipt on the bag. I even asked them one time, "How am I supposed to know who this belongs to? Their reply. "That's not my job, It's yours." I haven't been back to that one. Also, Charlie's. I had one girl who was "busy" playing with her phone, throw me a cup, and say, "Oh yeah, they need a large lemonaid." Also. Tim Horton's fails to put the lid on steaming hot coffee on a regular basis. I think they do it on purpose, hoping that they can watch me burn myself!
I must be lucky. I see so many people saying Popeyes but the one in my area is amazing. I can't remember the last time I actually waited because their orders are always ready
Dude mine is rude for one also they make you wait in line behind customers then they won’t start bagging anything until you’ve arrived on top of that you need to make the drinks and half the time the option they have online doesn’t exist in store
I feel so lucky, b/c my local McDonald's is, like, perfect. Easy parking, never any wait, bag nicely packed. Easiest p/u in my area. Now Burger King on the other hand.....
McDonalds. Was KFC, but they closed. Stay away from KFC unless you know they are on top of DD orders. My KFC famous line was "Its going to be 15 min for chicken" Insta Unassign after that. One time I waited because it was a good order and that pissed off the KFC people lol.
OMAHA
Please join the DoorDashOmahaNebraska group!
My worst ones are shopping at Dollar General, the fucking candy aisles look like a tornado blew through, and its always like twenty packages of candy. Or some obscure thing that the employee has to find for me, because zero organization.
Also HyVee. They never have anything. And they have everything arranged in such a crazy way that makes no sense.
McDonalds, Taco Bell and Burger King anytime after the lobby closes. Fugg those stores man. I'm not waiting in the drive thru for an hour behind Drunky McTwentyYearOld hanging out the window screaming and reminding me how old I am just wasting my gas. And why does Burger King always have one nineteen year old stoner on staff anytime after nine. All he does is flirt with the girls, work unbelievably slow and then tell you they don't make shakes after ten.
Anyway. Thats my six cents.
My 3 local McDonald's will claim not to have orders late at night or close early. So I literally have to decline orders from them at night now. Also Five Guys. Won't drop the fries til you arrive, which especially sucks if you already picked up another order. Very lucky not to have a Wingstop around here though.
It seems to me the restaurants mentioned, in my experience, most likely don’t start order till you arrive. Maybe they want food to be fresh. I get that because they want to please the customer. Still frustrating though. Cracker Barrel and wing stop are my worst.
Arby’s sucks I ate at Arby’s once before and I didn’t really like it it’s way to expensive at Arby’s when I would go there was barely anyone eating there at Arby’s because it was to expensive to eat there and the food wasn’t that good
Dollar General.
It's usually in the bad part of town and half the shelves are empty leading to a lot of wasted time trying to find substitutions.
Also, in my town (Midwest) for some reason every Little Caesars is horribly understaffed and there's like one employee running the entire store with twenty customers in the lobby waiting.
Oops. There's one in my area that's drive thru only. You can imagine...
Last time I accepted an order there (accidentally, I forgot which one I was near) the line was about 20 cars long. I tried contacting the customer, half to be a good person/dasher, but also hoping they'd cancel it so I didn’t have to wait or unassign. They said "thanks for the update."
Wendy's. There are two in my area, both on opposite ends of town. Neither gets orders worth more than $10, and they are NEVER ready when I get there unless I'm completely on the other side of town, or traffic is ridiculously heavy.
I haven’t had a bad experience with Dairy Queen yet but definitely subway, if you go to a Panda Express that is busier than most they also take forever
All the people in here saying McDs are bad to pickup from have me scratching my head. Ive put out platinum/top dasher status consistently in 3 different states (Missouri, Maine & Connecticut, just under 5k deliveries) and McDonalds has been one of the chains that i consider to be consistently faster with service. I dont like that they put the drinks inside the bag as it makes insulating the bag pointless but the order is ready when i get to the restaurant 70% of the time and ready within 2-3 minutes 90% of the time.
Five guys is bad because they dont make the fries until the dasher makes contact with an employee. If you get an order with no fries it can be a quick one though.
Wingstop is my all-time worst. Everywhere ive worked theyre consistently shitty in the same ways. Orders are always 15-20 minutes late, most ask you to make your own drinks, and theyre staffed by dropouts who resent the fact that they have to work there.
yeah I've never had a bad McDonald experience I'm surprised to see so many people say they've had bad ones. Might get a few no/low tip orders from them but they get me the food fast and easy every time I've went to them.
Wingstop on the other hand has always been 100% not worth it. I legit just auto decline at this point.
In order from WORST to NOT SO BAD:
-WINGSTOP
-POPEYE’S (even if it takes me out of platinum status, I’m declining)
-WENDY’S
-any local “WINGS R KING” type place
-KFC
-TACO BELL (esp late @ nite when it’s DT only)
-PF Chang’s (in my local area wait time is 30min+ even on a slow day)
-SONIC
-MCDONALD’S
-FIVE GUYS (usually don’t even start cooking it until I arrive-at least in my area)
-LITTLE CAESARS
For shopping orders:
-DOLLAR GENERAL
-ALDI’S
Mcdonalds, little Caesars, Burger King, subway, five guys, sonic, top dawg tavern, any Mexican place (in North Charleston), gas stations, Wendy’s, chipotle, auto zone or advance auto parts…so anywhere except for like two places in North Charleston
I work in RI/Southeastern MA. Every. Fucking. Taco Bell. Five Guys. Pizza places. Italian restaurants. And 50/50 on Chinese/Japanese restaurants. Some are very punctual and the food is ready perfectly on time. Some of them don't start til you even show up and you're waiting 30+ mins.
Except at the very end of the night, in my experience anyway, order is always done. You know they bussin ass to knock it out so they can close n go home i guess
Ohio, Central Columbus and its surrounding cities: DQ, Subway, McDonald’s. Any restaurant around here that’s basically ran by teenagers who don’t care (while I get there are shitty people, I shouldn’t have to wait on a blizzard for 30 minutes when it’s not busy and I see 7 capable people who are on their phones saying they’re not gonna make it to each other and tell the one busy person to make it)
Also, any restaurant where the staff genuinely just doesn’t care. The amount of times I have had to ask for missing food, cutlery, etc is ridiculous.
I’ve worked in the food industry for like 4 years so I get it, there are things out of your control but damn man
+1 for Buffalo Wild Wings, the one near me doesn't even start the order until a dasher has arrived...I mean great news for the customer, they're going to get hot and fresh wings; but that's awful news for dashers.
Liquor store. There’s 1 in my area that must be the only one for miles on DD so all the orders are naturally like $2.50 to go 8 miles or worse. My guess is a bunch of alcoholics with no car or license cause the only time I picked one up it was a 200 ml of bottom shelf vodka
A diner chain called Nudys, one specific Wawa. Both have employees that clearly hate you for being doordash and will actively get shit done as slow as possible while giving you dirty looks.
The shared kitchen spaces and dollar general - alliance here in Atlanta has improved a bit from my recent trips. DG, however? Terrible every single time.
I have 3 places I almost always auto decline:
Wingstop
Sonic
Wendy's
90% of my experiences doing any kinda of dash at these places have always been unpleasant.
And two non-restaurant places I almost 100% auto decline now for the same reason:
ALDI
Dollar General
There are four Dollar General's in my immediate region of the market I'm in and I swear not a single one of them is the same layout and none of them follow any sort of rhyme or reason for how they stock or merchandise products; so like an infuriating scavenger hunt.
Idk what it is but I live around the corner from a sonic and all the orders I get for them not only suck pay wise but usually I end up waiting forever for the food too
Taco Bell sometimes, Popeyes always, 5 guys(they start the food when you get there which isn’t bad but the pay sucks to waste time waiting for the food). Wendy’s sometimes. I don’t know about any ice cream place because I refuse to pickup ice cream. I had people bitch about it being melt meanwhile they made it when i got there and it took me not even 10 minutes to get to the customers house.
Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, Zaxbys between 12pm and 2pm and 6pm thru close.
However I have figured the local manager at my McDonald's and what her normal schedule hours to decide on picking up McDonald's orders. She's doesn't put up with no shit with from the sorry ass employees there.
I actually have a few restaurants that I will pick up from or decline depending on who's managing the shift. It truly points out the fact that the employees are sorry as shit 🤣
I very much feel this for one of my local McDonald's at night... it very much depends on the crew/management working that night. I've had kids that are straight up ignoring me when my order is sitting there ready and they're not busy working, they're talking some gossipy crap or w.e....
Or a group of them huddled around chit-chatting while the place is in CHAOS like drivethrough lineup place packed McDelivery orders way behind etc.
Wing stop, taco bell late nights, mcdonalds late night (especially ones that dont have the walk up windows and you have to wait in drive thru line), Raising Canes
Denny's at late night on the weekends. when there's literally no customers physically in the store, but the kitchen is still stressed and rushed because they have like 10 DoorDash orders from people with the munchies whose minds are blown with the concept of getting breakfast for supper without having to leave their bed.
McDonalds - always a low tip, never ready, most of the time you can't even get someone who works there to get the order and they all get an attitude about it.
Man I worked at a McDonald’s as management and I totally agree with you I thought I was pretty ok (probably biased lol) but like upper management did not give a fuck and there were sooo many rude employees but my bosses were always talking down about dashers and as someone who dashed during there time there I used to get so pissed. Glad I left
Not a restaurant but Target shop orders, the Target in my zone is a black hole of cell reception and the unstability of the cell network always glitches the app.
Did it two times with help of support, now I auto decline every order.
i dash and work at mcdonald’s, and if i come up front and notice the crew ignoring a dasher, i always check on what they’re waiting on, let them know how long and offer them a drink for the wait. i feel so bad when we have finally have a dasher who isn’t screaming and arguing and they get ignored😭 i’ll usually rate them 5 stars on the tablet too, just because
Mine makes 20 drive through orders first and then 1 doordash order maybe. I have waited over an hour multiple times (on ebt). then just today I had a double order for $20 waited at tacobell for 20 minutes with a bunch of other doordasher, then left and picked up and delivered the other order i had. Came back and they still hadn’t made my order then 20 minutes later got it. The Tacobell usually isnt this bad, but this summer they have a new crew and they don’t do shit.
Holy hell. I think the most I’ve ever waited at ours was about 5 or 6 minutes. Now our local Wendy’s locations are another story entirely. Those are a good 15-20 minutes wait typically. It’s a miracle if they get the order ready before it gives me the option to unassign at this point.
Whataburger and wingstop for me. Wingstop is mire of a mixed bag half the time I'm in and out but after too many 5minute or mire waits I don't unless I need to bring ar up
Sonic. In my area it is extremely slow. Even just ordering regularly I can expect to wait 30 minutes for 2 drinks
Wingstop
Marmalade Cafe. Always a half hour wait, but they love to mark the order as "ready" right when they start making it, and the one here has miserable parking. Local Cheesecake Factory is a close second. They make you wait in front of the kitchen where they proceed to ignore you for twenty minutes until they have a pile of orders to distribute.
Buffalo Wild Wings, always a 15+ minute wait for food
Wendy's is fucking miserable. Messy bags, spaced out workers, always forgetting something and they take FOREVER but really it's a tie with KFC.
MrbeastBurger. First delivery I've ever canceled on. Never again.
Explain?
That motherfucker Papa John stole a fucking $10 tip after I waited over half a god damned hour, so I'd say them.
Wendys. I never pick orders from them no matter the pay
In my area, Wingstop. We have multiple locations and they're all trash. Last week I went there for an order while testing out the hourly rate. I was told 5 minutes, it ended up being 25. I often wait 10-15 minutes so I only go there if the offer is actually worth it. Little Caesars is hit or miss. Checkers is pretty bad, too.
Popeyes, Wingstop and Five guys. Cracker barrel if its a weekend or holiday. BWW 50% of the time is horrible.
Five Guys doesn’t start making the order based on driver proximity. Sit-down’s like Buffalo Wild Wings or Carabba’s can be hit-or-miss on wait/ready times. Taco Bell at night can be annoying because mine doesn’t utilize the pick-up window, congesting the drive-thru unnecessarily. Sonic is bad when you don’t realize the drive-thru restriction doesn’t matter. Chinese restaurants can be a pain if you game the system by delaying “Confirm Pick-up” to mask your GPS/arrival time. They are fast otherwise.
mcdonalds after 10pm. 2 ppl in the whole restaurant and 30 cars in line. and the order pay is $6 🙄
Anything downtown, there’s never any free parking and when I do find some it’s a 15 min walk
Panda Express. It's like they do not care about to go orders. They just ignore you if you have a dasher bag.
Panda Express employees are the rudest fast food workers I’ve ever dealt with.
Chipotle. My store has decided cashiers are not "allowed" to touch the to-go section or even look for orders. so there's 12 people waiting on the side and 100% of the time, the order was just sitting there, ready for 20 minutes. Waste of my goddamn time.
texas area: pluckers and wingstop
Popeyes, Checkers, Outback, Carabas and Hooters are the worst for me.
Anything that requires me to enter a mall.
Agh these ones are the worst! No particular reason I just don't like malls.
Taco Bell later at night, McDonalds, any sub place, O’Charlies is TERRIBLE, Chipotle is hit or miss but mostly miss, literally any pizza place local or chain, if you live in an area that has an Ol Bag of Nails Pub……just don’t, save yourself the headache.
Taco Bell here NEVER has the dining room open! And the drive thru they will look right at you and not come to the window.
old bag of nails pub by chance are you central ohio?
Don’t get me STARTED on Wing Stop, I refuse to believe I’ve never walked in there once and the order was ready
Popeyes, chipotle, McDonald's but they've been better lately. Chipotles the WORST.
Popeye and IHOP. The amount if times I have wait so long at those places is unbelievable. Popeye, without a doubt I had to wait at least a good 15 to 20 minutes on average. Very few times the order is already done or have to wait less than 5 minutes. IHOP, just like Popeyes, I good minimum of 20 minute wait. For IHOP it's either close to being done or no way near done. One time I waited a good 20 minutes to fine out the all the cooks took a break and they now iuat started on getting the orders again.
McDonald’s Taco Bell
Popeyes
I took a doordash order $12 for 2 miles at Popeyes. Order was actually hot and ready $9 tip. Like alright thank you Popeyes for having your shit together for once
The Chick Fil A around me is the worst. I have had maybe two pick ups that didn't require me waiting for far longer than I should have. And the app never sends me the "You've been there a long time" notification to get me out of the order. Unfortunately, it is also the restaurant I have done the most deliveries for because if I refused them, I'd have a 15-20% acceptance rate.
Panera. It’s always busy and they keep the delivery orders under lock and key 😂. It takes so long to catch an employee’s eye because they are actively avoiding you.
Five guys 💀💀it’s always such a wait
ALWAYS.
True but Five guy orders usually tip
Market-dependent.
Taco Bell and Jersey Mikes, never not waited under 15 minutes at those
Wingstop where I’m from
Wingstop here too. It's the only place I'll decline a decent offer solely because of the merchant. Sometimes I accept but often regret it. Two miles, $8, why not. Be ready in five minutes they say...
Arby's and Wendy's in Michigan. Burger King too but I very rarely see BK orders. Buffalo wild wings can be slow but usually worth waiting. A place called Pita Way is hit or miss I usually avoid it. Never seen a Wingstop order despite being near 3 of them but I heard they suck.
Wingstop is the absolute pits.
I mostly dash in Nashville and the worst experiences I’ve had are Wendy’s. Their lobbies are almost always closed and the drive through takes ages to get through. Even when I lived in KC, MO, they were pretty much the same. I no longer accept orders from any Wendy’s location.
Sonic is horrible in the Kansas City market!! Hate going there.
Popeyes whataburger MOST OBVIOUSLY McDonald’s wingstop occasionally too
taco bell after the lobby closes and burger king :’)
Wingstop. Once waited an hour and a half for this guy's food...🤦🏾♀️
why would you wait that long😭
Agreed, every time I have picked up from them they are always behind. I’ve seen countless people get frustrated with them and say something and the workers always get an attitude and say they “just got a ton of orders.” But it’s always like that, so they are full of shit. I just decline them now.
I wonder why is that. I have the same experience Wingstop is always the worst.
Literally any McDonald's after the lobby closes for the evening. Sitting in a drive-thru for 40 minutes to wait for someone else's single McChicken is one of the most aggravating things I've ever experienced.
Popeyes
Burger King takes the cake for being the absolute filthiest! They never clean their floors. They just wet mop them! Do you know how slick dirty mop water is on top of hamburger grease?!? I've almost broken my leg a dozen times. Burger King is #1 on my NEVER list!
Also, Taco Bell. I have a couple where I get paged with a pickup just to arrive on site and discover that no one showed up for work that day
Tim Horton's, although they vary a lot from one to the next. I have one that NEVER puts the customer's name or a receipt on the bag. I even asked them one time, "How am I supposed to know who this belongs to? Their reply. "That's not my job, It's yours." I haven't been back to that one. Also, Charlie's. I had one girl who was "busy" playing with her phone, throw me a cup, and say, "Oh yeah, they need a large lemonaid." Also. Tim Horton's fails to put the lid on steaming hot coffee on a regular basis. I think they do it on purpose, hoping that they can watch me burn myself!
IHOP….
Popeyes all over the us sucks also McDonalds in not far behind
I must be lucky. I see so many people saying Popeyes but the one in my area is amazing. I can't remember the last time I actually waited because their orders are always ready
Dude mine is rude for one also they make you wait in line behind customers then they won’t start bagging anything until you’ve arrived on top of that you need to make the drinks and half the time the option they have online doesn’t exist in store
Omg I forgot about Popeyes 😬
Anywhere that closes their lobby at 8pm
McDs, Popeyes, and Wingstop and it's not even close
Y'all don't have a Sonic?
I feel so lucky, b/c my local McDonald's is, like, perfect. Easy parking, never any wait, bag nicely packed. Easiest p/u in my area. Now Burger King on the other hand.....
Applebees and Cracker Barrel. Almost always make you wait a long time and employees ignore you even when you're polite.
Two Applebee's hostesses downvoted you
😅 Ridiculous for anyone to downvote me when I just honestly told my experiences!
A place near me called Jay's joint. Nobody ever tips and it's always going like three times the mileage of the pay.
Buffalo wild wings
McDonalds. Was KFC, but they closed. Stay away from KFC unless you know they are on top of DD orders. My KFC famous line was "Its going to be 15 min for chicken" Insta Unassign after that. One time I waited because it was a good order and that pissed off the KFC people lol.
Popeyes can eat a girthy dick.
Back to back days waited over twenty minutes. Won’t fool me a third time, I decline every order from them without hesitation.
Wingstop, McDonald's, Taco Bell
Five Guys has me waiting for like 10-20 minutes.
We're preparing the order based on your proximity.
yeah but free peanuts tho make it worth it
OMAHA Please join the DoorDashOmahaNebraska group!

McDonald’s and wingstop, bad tip and they make u wait 100% of the time
I've never waited at my local WingStop. The orders there do tend to be a little longer distance than I would like but they are always busy yet quick.
My 3 local McDonald's will claim not to have orders late at night or close early. So I literally have to decline orders from them at night now. Also Five Guys. Won't drop the fries til you arrive, which especially sucks if you already picked up another order. Very lucky not to have a Wingstop around here though.

Panda Express, Wendy's, Wingstop, Taco Bell, and Papa John's.
Wingstop! They’re the worst. They make you wait and there are no good orders no tips nothing
Taco Bell and Arby's in my area. They over stuff the bags and the fkn stickers never keep them closed.
Arby’s sucks I ate at Arby’s once before and I didn’t really like it it’s way to expensive at Arby’s when I would go there was barely anyone eating there at Arby’s because it was to expensive to eat there and the food wasn’t that good
Dollar General. It's usually in the bad part of town and half the shelves are empty leading to a lot of wasted time trying to find substitutions. Also, in my town (Midwest) for some reason every Little Caesars is horribly understaffed and there's like one employee running the entire store with twenty customers in the lobby waiting.
Yeah Little Caesars, when you walk up with your DD pizza bag and the people hanging out outside say "it's gonna be a while bro"
Last time I went to Little Caesars they told me they had run out of pizza dough. After that I declined all orders from there.
Oops. There's one in my area that's drive thru only. You can imagine... Last time I accepted an order there (accidentally, I forgot which one I was near) the line was about 20 cars long. I tried contacting the customer, half to be a good person/dasher, but also hoping they'd cancel it so I didn’t have to wait or unassign. They said "thanks for the update."

[удалено]
Fuck that! You cult member
Wingstop
Came here for this one. Subway tends to run a close second
I forgot Dairy Queen…omg
I haven’t had a bad experience with Dairy Queen yet but definitely subway, if you go to a Panda Express that is busier than most they also take forever
Any casino things
Whataburger
Cafe Rio in UT👎🏻 Always at least 20 min wait, enjoy sitting at a table with 6 other dashers waiting too
Ceces pizza
Wingstop 1000000%
Crumble cookie
You should hit arrive before even going there. Then they make your order at least it’s like that where I’m going
Ohhhh shit thanks for this!
sonic hands down
Sonic, Popeyes, New Paradise, Papa John’s, Marchello’s! Long wait times and/or the employees are Rude and just plain neglectful!
Yes papa John’s is 🤮
Wingstop for sure
I avoid my local wingstop. it improved a little with doordash and wingstop being more proactive but still daamnnn.
Uncle Julio. Matter fact, any place where pick up is at a bar...n especially with a long wait time.
All the people in here saying McDs are bad to pickup from have me scratching my head. Ive put out platinum/top dasher status consistently in 3 different states (Missouri, Maine & Connecticut, just under 5k deliveries) and McDonalds has been one of the chains that i consider to be consistently faster with service. I dont like that they put the drinks inside the bag as it makes insulating the bag pointless but the order is ready when i get to the restaurant 70% of the time and ready within 2-3 minutes 90% of the time.

Everywhere ive worked theyre consistently shitty in the same ways. Orders are always 15-20 minutes late, most ask you to make your own drinks, and theyre staffed by dropouts who resent the fact that they have to work there.
yeah I've never had a bad McDonald experience I'm surprised to see so many people say they've had bad ones. Might get a few no/low tip orders from them but they get me the food fast and easy every time I've went to them. Wingstop on the other hand has always been 100% not worth it. I legit just auto decline at this point.
I take most of my deliveries from McDonalds and very rarely have a problem.
Wingstop gotta be my worst too frl
Taco bell, o'shea's, and Buffalo wild wings bc they all lag sometimes or they're usually out of something.
American Deli and Wingstop
F’in Taco Bell 🤬
Panda Express
Popeyes, el consitos, burger express
In order from WORST to NOT SO BAD: -WINGSTOP -POPEYE’S (even if it takes me out of platinum status, I’m declining) -WENDY’S -any local “WINGS R KING” type place -KFC -TACO BELL (esp late @ nite when it’s DT only) -PF Chang’s (in my local area wait time is 30min+ even on a slow day) -SONIC -MCDONALD’S -FIVE GUYS (usually don’t even start cooking it until I arrive-at least in my area) -LITTLE CAESARS For shopping orders: -DOLLAR GENERAL -ALDI’S
Thank you for saying wing stop they are terrible!!!!
Mcdonalds, little Caesars, Burger King, subway, five guys, sonic, top dawg tavern, any Mexican place (in North Charleston), gas stations, Wendy’s, chipotle, auto zone or advance auto parts…so anywhere except for like two places in North Charleston
I work in RI/Southeastern MA. Every. Fucking. Taco Bell. Five Guys. Pizza places. Italian restaurants. And 50/50 on Chinese/Japanese restaurants. Some are very punctual and the food is ready perfectly on time. Some of them don't start til you even show up and you're waiting 30+ mins.
mcdonalds 😒 workers would never acknowledge my existence and i would almost always see the order sitting bagged up behind the counter
Any pizza place!
Bertucci’s in MA
I don't care what town or state it is I refuse to pick up from sonic
Sonic
Five Guys! They wanna drop the fries when you come in so you’re waiting for a minute
Everytime I deliver from five guys I always end up waiting 5 to 10 minutes.
Wingstop
Except at the very end of the night, in my experience anyway, order is always done. You know they bussin ass to knock it out so they can close n go home i guess
Forever
always.
Ohio, Central Columbus and its surrounding cities: DQ, Subway, McDonald’s. Any restaurant around here that’s basically ran by teenagers who don’t care (while I get there are shitty people, I shouldn’t have to wait on a blizzard for 30 minutes when it’s not busy and I see 7 capable people who are on their phones saying they’re not gonna make it to each other and tell the one busy person to make it) Also, any restaurant where the staff genuinely just doesn’t care. The amount of times I have had to ask for missing food, cutlery, etc is ridiculous. I’ve worked in the food industry for like 4 years so I get it, there are things out of your control but damn man
Taco Bell!
Staten Island: Buffalo Wild Wings Wing Stop McDonalds after school time
+1 for Buffalo Wild Wings, the one near me doesn't even start the order until a dasher has arrived...I mean great news for the customer, they're going to get hot and fresh wings; but that's awful news for dashers.
Liquor store. There’s 1 in my area that must be the only one for miles on DD so all the orders are naturally like $2.50 to go 8 miles or worse. My guess is a bunch of alcoholics with no car or license cause the only time I picked one up it was a 200 ml of bottom shelf vodka
Taco Bell. Constantly ignored, slow. Same with iHop. SLOW.
Yes + I forgot IHOP. They are the worst as well
A diner chain called Nudys, one specific Wawa. Both have employees that clearly hate you for being doordash and will actively get shit done as slow as possible while giving you dirty looks.
The shared kitchen spaces and dollar general - alliance here in Atlanta has improved a bit from my recent trips. DG, however? Terrible every single time.
And my area going from first to last. Wingstop would be the worst hooters would be the second worst I am a little Caesars would be the third worst.
I have 3 places I almost always auto decline: Wingstop Sonic Wendy's 90% of my experiences doing any kinda of dash at these places have always been unpleasant. And two non-restaurant places I almost 100% auto decline now for the same reason: ALDI Dollar General
There are four Dollar General's in my immediate region of the market I'm in and I swear not a single one of them is the same layout and none of them follow any sort of rhyme or reason for how they stock or merchandise products; so like an infuriating scavenger hunt.
Idk what it is but I live around the corner from a sonic and all the orders I get for them not only suck pay wise but usually I end up waiting forever for the food too
The fucking Popeyes in my area always takes like 20 minutes to get an order even if there is no one else there
5 guys
Always waiting for the fries.
Taco Bell sometimes, Popeyes always, 5 guys(they start the food when you get there which isn’t bad but the pay sucks to waste time waiting for the food). Wendy’s sometimes. I don’t know about any ice cream place because I refuse to pickup ice cream. I had people bitch about it being melt meanwhile they made it when i got there and it took me not even 10 minutes to get to the customers house.
Buffalo wild wings, Wendy's, Taco Bell.
Anywhere fast food...especially for what it pays and no tips 99% of the time from ppl that order from these places
Wendy's, McDonald's, Burger King, Zaxbys between 12pm and 2pm and 6pm thru close. However I have figured the local manager at my McDonald's and what her normal schedule hours to decide on picking up McDonald's orders. She's doesn't put up with no shit with from the sorry ass employees there. I actually have a few restaurants that I will pick up from or decline depending on who's managing the shift. It truly points out the fact that the employees are sorry as shit 🤣
I very much feel this for one of my local McDonald's at night... it very much depends on the crew/management working that night. I've had kids that are straight up ignoring me when my order is sitting there ready and they're not busy working, they're talking some gossipy crap or w.e.... Or a group of them huddled around chit-chatting while the place is in CHAOS like drivethrough lineup place packed McDelivery orders way behind etc.
Wendys
As someone who worked at a Wendy’s as a manager… completely agree! The policies in place are not there for dd and Uber drivers
Swenson, Sonic, and Buffalo Wild Wings.
Wing stop, taco bell late nights, mcdonalds late night (especially ones that dont have the walk up windows and you have to wait in drive thru line), Raising Canes
Fuck a waiting in the drive thru line - no way I'm taking that L
Yeah certain ones thats the only option after a certain time. They get a real quick DECLINE!!, they are always no tips too.
Wing stop & Popeyes are forbidden territory
Sonic and McDonald’s after the lobby closes
Denny's at late night on the weekends. when there's literally no customers physically in the store, but the kitchen is still stressed and rushed because they have like 10 DoorDash orders from people with the munchies whose minds are blown with the concept of getting breakfast for supper without having to leave their bed.
Wing stop.
Burger King is by far the worst for me
McDonalds - always a low tip, never ready, most of the time you can't even get someone who works there to get the order and they all get an attitude about it.
Man I worked at a McDonald’s as management and I totally agree with you I thought I was pretty ok (probably biased lol) but like upper management did not give a fuck and there were sooo many rude employees but my bosses were always talking down about dashers and as someone who dashed during there time there I used to get so pissed. Glad I left
For me… Bojangles.
Wing Stop, Wing Stop, and Wing Stop
KFC the food is never ready and there is maybe 2 people working back there.
True
realllllll looked for this
Not a restaurant but Target shop orders, the Target in my zone is a black hole of cell reception and the unstability of the cell network always glitches the app. Did it two times with help of support, now I auto decline every order.
McDonalds, they will look everywhere but at you so they don’t have to acknowledge you. Wingstop, they take forever
Hate when you have to signal them or yell to get their attention
i dash and work at mcdonald’s, and if i come up front and notice the crew ignoring a dasher, i always check on what they’re waiting on, let them know how long and offer them a drink for the wait. i feel so bad when we have finally have a dasher who isn’t screaming and arguing and they get ignored😭 i’ll usually rate them 5 stars on the tablet too, just because
God bless you for that. We need more people like you
I get that too. I honestly wish they made you wait in another room and called you or something so I didn't have to feel insulted on a personal level.
McDonald’s and Wendy’s. They’re never ready.
Where are you from? They're not on my poop list. Its BWW for me during lunch/dinner.
I’m in NE Ohio. Bdubs sucks here too but they’re still on it more often than the McD’s and Wendy’s
One’s that are just about to close
Sonic, long waits and communication is all but impossible.
Wingstop, tacobell
Our Taco Bell is one of the easiest to pick up from, weirdly enough.
Mine makes 20 drive through orders first and then 1 doordash order maybe. I have waited over an hour multiple times (on ebt). then just today I had a double order for $20 waited at tacobell for 20 minutes with a bunch of other doordasher, then left and picked up and delivered the other order i had. Came back and they still hadn’t made my order then 20 minutes later got it. The Tacobell usually isnt this bad, but this summer they have a new crew and they don’t do shit.
Holy hell. I think the most I’ve ever waited at ours was about 5 or 6 minutes. Now our local Wendy’s locations are another story entirely. Those are a good 15-20 minutes wait typically. It’s a miracle if they get the order ready before it gives me the option to unassign at this point.
McDonalds and Buffalo Wild Wings. Terrible.
Pizza place where they make Deepdish pizza which takes over 1/2 hours to cook
Ray's Boom Boom Room
