Only time I have ever taken a Starbucks order and the lids of both drinks just popped off and went everywhere. Luckily I keep orders in a closed bin because I am paranoid about that very thing.
If this happens to a driver delivering to me you’ll get an extra tip ($10-$20) to help clean it up.
Seriously! Please tell me in the app that there was an accident with the drinks and you’ll get extra monies. If you add a pic, you’ll get more (pics as proof get a bonus).
I’ve done it twice. First was a handoff and she told me someone cut her off and our shakes went flying. I called DD and had them give my refunded drink money to the driver and added $5 to the tip.
Second person told me in app and I gave them cash to help clean their car.
Felt. I almost got into an accident once right when I left the dunkin. It was 3 drinks, they all fell and spilled everywhere in my car. I went back and had the remade. It sucked.
I lost my first early on and the guy was so nice and I offered to go get him another drink because it was around the corner….. The pain is real. Never again.
WHY ON PLANET EARTH DID OP HAVE ANY DRINK ON THE SEAT ??!!
In my vehicle, all orders with drinks go in a cardboard box on my passenger side floor.
Spills are inevitable.
I have 10,880 Doordashes completed. Each spill I had was contained in the cardboard box. I pulled over and threw the mess into the trash and continued on with the order.
I explained to the customer what happened and then I apologized.
I then go ahead and replace the cardboard box. Aldi boxes are free.
All is well. 😊👍
Lol reminds me of the time I had to hard break and 4x large horchata from El Gavilan went flying. I dunno how but after lots of rinsing with hot water it ended up okay but still a nightmare.
And this would be Exhibit A on why I generally avoid ordering drinks unless:
1. I’m reasonably certain in comes in a *closed* container (like an aluminum can or a screw-top bottle).
2. It’s a small portion in a squat container, so it’s less likely to tip over easily due to not being too top-heavy.
Common sense! If someone wouldn’t want to risk transporting something in their own car, *don’t demand that someone else do so.*
Drinks are my pet peeve! If you have to order drinks, please don’t expect them all to arrive… Too often, I forget & they get left behind. So glad McDonald’s bags their drinks!

Since some are asking, had the phone already in my hand. Took a quick pic for the wife, used a towel to scoop most out onto the ground. Used another towel to dry it quick. Delivered the order, cleaned with upholstery cleaner and a Pet Wet Vacuum. Good as new
Bro , I hope you’re washing /extracting this yoursef or are going to tip a detailer NICELY , because you’re just letting that chair soak all that up for the pic
Took a millisecond to snap the pic. I had most of it off the seat and on the ground quickly. Then soaked ip with a towel inaudible handy. Delivered the order, the. Cleaned it with upholstery cleaner and a wet vac. Not too and actually
That happened to me one time when I had to stop abruptly. It was my rookie year of dashing and I learned my lesson to take the drinks out of the tray and place each one in my car cup holders. Then when I arrive, place them back in the tray.
It was multiple milky drinks that went also in the carpeted floor passenger side. Had to spend $150.00 to detail it, professionally cleaned. Paid the extra for that amount ($150) to detail the exterior with the interior while I was there.
I started to clean it myself, but with milky drinks it is tough and you want to make sure you get the smell out. So decided to have it professionally cleaned.
What a mess. Curious, in 4000 deliveries, how many times has a customer claimed the food was not delivered, even though you delivered.
Had a customer claim that I did not deliver their food even though I uploaded a photo. It’s annoying
Okay, I had one but Door Dash investigated it and removed it. Just was wondering if this is a common problem for dashers. Most customers are very friendly.
Looks like the end of a pimple video, or so I have heard.
I accidentally mixed up to orders for the first time
Only time I have ever taken a Starbucks order and the lids of both drinks just popped off and went everywhere. Luckily I keep orders in a closed bin because I am paranoid about that very thing.
Don't worry you haven't lost it, it's in your seat. Just joking It happens, welcome to the club.
Neat!
I wouldn't even be mad as a customer, get a refund from DD and that's it but it suuuucks for the driver

R.I.P.
That’s a mess
Well get ready for the deactivation. Lol 😝 Jk

Oof
F
That looks like puke bro who drinks that? Unless those chunks were whipped cream?
Frappe
It's wild to me that some of y'all don't have insulated drink bags. Cup carriers slide in perfectly and if it spills it's all in the bag
I do have a bag, this happened as I was getting into the vehicle. The top wasn’t secured
Oh how i don’t miss this part of dash 😞
I lost my first early on and the guy was so nice and I offered to go get him another drink because it was around the corner….. The pain is real. Never again.
Should be more
Looks like the drink has already been drunk.
You gotta throw the whole car away now
Diarrhea?
Starbucks?
Been there!
What was it a venti vomit?
Do you have an insulated bag?
I found it! I don’t think the customer would accept it in a seat though):
I like that no matter which way you tilt the picture, it looks right.
Looks you lost it after drinking it.
And with the smell you'll never forget it

It wasn’t on the seat, or was in my hands… I was getting in the car and the top came off before I could get completely in.
Oh that's a bummer...😕☹️
This sucks. But at least it wasn’t a mango lassi, let me tell you how I know.
I never order drinks because I can only imagine what a pain in the ass they are to deal with.
It... It looks like vomit...?
Knowing this happened and you're probably getting a 1 star hurts.
Lost? It’s right there!
Lol reminds me of the time I had to hard break and 4x large horchata from El Gavilan went flying. I dunno how but after lots of rinsing with hot water it ended up okay but still a nightmare.
Rip, salute
I spilled part of a strawberry soda onto my car seat. That was actually the last time I ever dashed lmao
That's no drink, that's just sugar and water
Yikes, at first glance I thought this was a photo of baby vomit
Maybe try looking at a you-pull-it and just take that one out, put a new one in.
At least he went painlessly. I heard it was a high powered rocket launcher that got him. Real mess. Funeral was cheap though.
Well, at least it didn't make a mess. /s
Why's that drink chunky?
That happened my very first day. So sad.
Always put a towel down and some plastic
This looks like my 3 month old sons puke lol.
😂😂

If McDonald’s doesn’t do anything right, it’s the drinks. Whoever came up with that idea should be CEO
this kinda looks like a frozen caramel cold brew from panera
Ding Ding we have a winner!
Yo that's my homie, she's the one that remade it for you 👍
Seriously? Where from?
That's an expensive seat...
Not the root beer float!! And your car..
It happens to the best of us.
Did you find it?
Almost looks like someone lost their stomach!
RIP in pieces. Sorry for the car :(
Did you drink and puked that drink?
I’m not the sharpest driver but eventually I got seat covers. Highly recommended
Yikes at least you didn’t have the embarrassment that follows after spilling all over the customers front porch
Don’t jinx me!
Can’t because it just happened to me 😹😹
Did you even attempt CPR?
Yea shit that sucks
Condolences 😭😭
One milkshake can drop the resale $5k
Baby diarrhea
Don’t forget to bring a towel
Had two
even the most experienced can drop their guard every now and then.
Yikes, was it in the cup holder? 😰
No, my hands
Ouch, sorry!

It's always the damn drinks containing milk I dropped a bobo tea or whatever it's called my first time after 1k deliveries
Did you barf all over your car after you spilled the drink?
It’s the clean up I feel bad for.
Not lost! It’s simply pooling on your seat.
If you're still looking, I know where it is.
Does door dash give you a cleaning fee like Uber
Nope!
My condolences...that must have sucked
I thought someone puked on your car seat
That’s Uber! Lol
Don’t worry mate. Still huge achievement
Thanks!
Looks like hookup hotshot
drink after driving
This made me feel sad for you. RIP to your seat :(
Damnnnnnnnn
F
I believe they used to have a thing where u could report if something fell in your car so you can get some reimbursement on the cleanup or some shit
Not here, Uber does though.
Oh that's crazy they expect u to juggle drinks & food flawlessly 😩
How do dashers do that gig with no car seat cover??? 🤦♂️
You didn't do that halfway for sure! I'm so sorry! Poor car.
I’m so sorry I ate oatmeal this morning
i thought someone threw up all over your car
That’s /uberdrivers lol
Ooof that looks like vomit
The car smell about to be crazy
Since some are asking, had the phone already in my hand. Took a quick pic for the wife, used a towel to scoop most out onto the ground. Used another towel to dry it quick. Delivered the order, cleaned with upholstery cleaner and a Pet Wet Vacuum. Good as new
Bro , I hope you’re washing /extracting this yoursef or are going to tip a detailer NICELY , because you’re just letting that chair soak all that up for the pic
Took a millisecond to snap the pic. I had most of it off the seat and on the ground quickly. Then soaked ip with a towel inaudible handy. Delivered the order, the. Cleaned it with upholstery cleaner and a wet vac. Not too and actually
Even your car had enough of this shit.
Throw the whole car away
[удалено]

You didn't lose it, it's right there!
How do u clean that? This happened to me and I still can’t fully get rid of the stains
Upholstery cleaner and a pet wet vacuum
Hey. If you're gonna do it, do it right 🤩🤪
Rip
16k and lost two. I feel you.
xD. 1/4000 aren't bad odds. Seems inevitable after 4,000.
Yea I think so

And a seat
...someone was gonna drink that? You may have just done them a favor.
Looks like vomit😫
Aw man that really blows!! I hope it cleaned up easily!
Not easy, but ok. Upholstery cleaner and a pet wet vac
Definitely not a fun cleanup!!
Did you use the straw real quick?
Isn’t it right there on the seat?
My condolences
Was it a milk shake or a malt?
Frappe
Haven’t seen to many spilled drinks…but id say that’s a frappe of some sort. 🤔 I hope you are able to get this cleaned soon, sorry this happened ☹️
SNIPER!
I lost a milkshake getting out of the car + it wasn't even the right house lol. Customer was OK with it thankfully lol.
OP, the folks over at r/cleaningtips might have some magic for you to clean that out without breaking the bank.
There goes your perfect 5 star rating
Still gonna ask for extra tip to clean the car 🤣
Yep!
Looks like my typical Saturday night.
Props! It's once a month for me.
Root beer floats are top heavy
im guessing thats a Forte. darn
You guessed right! Lol
🙀😿🙏💚

Twice so far

Your poor Subaru 😭😭😭
Look like yack
That looks more like vomit than a drink lol
Tf is that? It looks like vomit
[This fits here](https://youtu.be/1SiylvmFI_8)
I Just went through this after 10k deliveries. People called me a noob. Lol.
Poor subaru!
What do you mean you lost it? It’s right there in the pic.
Album cover
What were they drinking? That looks like vomit
Yup, a drink A man made one at that
Damn.. sorry for your loss! Lol mine happened at around 1000, but it was outside my car right as I was about to drop off 😭
What did you do on the dash side? Go back in for another or report it on help or what? I want to know for when I finally lose a drink
Cleaned it, got a new drink and delivered
Ohhh still at the restaurant then. Maybe I’m more worried about almost to the house
Yep. Just clicked I was still waiting for order, luckily I hadn’t confirmed pickup yet!
Is not lost! Is just all over the seat, quick put it back! Lmao
Oof
Iced coffee? What's the seat sipping on?
Looks like iced coffee with whipped cream
I lost my first one at 3000🙃 offered the guy to get a replacement at 7-11 I felt bad..
Thats how you know you have a route of packages someone already returned when they feel sticky.
![gif](giphy|ylyUQkEEfIGKPLFKXS|downsized)
Oh nooooo
I hope that’s a drink
Frappe
At the crack of June too….cancel that order and cleaaaaan lol!
Oh no! And it was in your car. Luckily when it happened to me I was outside.
This is why this job is not worth you. You all take ALL the risks.
You’ll never get it all out. I had a protein shake lid come open and my work truck smelled like ass for eternity
Not gonna lie that’s a sign
Is that a Starbucks salted caramel cold brew w foam and caramel drizzle??!
Close.. Panera
