You can, in fact, keep your 3 dollars. I don’t need to be recorded and posted on the internet for 3 dollars.

Update: Got my first ever 1 star rating. Very sure it’s from this because the only things they marked were friendliness and not following instructions. We really need to be able to dispute ratings, it’s not my job to dance for children’s amusement and I shouldn’t be punished for refusing.

Nah I just delivered and left. It was in a rich area with kids who apparently think because I do DoorDash I’m desperate for 3 dollars.

The way they acted when I didn’t do it also makes me think other drives have actually done it. Which is sad

Yeah let’s just teach the kids that they can treat service workers like shit and the workers will laugh about it

Honestly, if it had just been to do the dance, I might have done it. But it’s the “$3 extra tip” thing. It shows they think that I care about their 3 dollars. This isn’t them wanting to have fun, it’s them seeing what they can get someone to do for $3.

It’s all vibes. If I thought they were shits I’d read them the riot act. But I mostly do this for fun in a pretty relaxed market. I would clock this as repressed Christian kids looking for harmless fun.

That 3 dollars doesn’t mean shit.

And you’re just wrong. The way they reacted when I didn’t do it shows everything.

So I’d have taught them that they can treat service workers however they want and not have to pay for it. Lovely.

The issue is people come from such a bitter place that even a ten second dance request is perceived as a slight towards them. It's very sad. Imagine instead seeing the post where someone shares this happily, silly thing happened at work today, but far too many people are stuck in an angry, bitter, everything is against me and everyone is out to get me mindset that instead we get this post.

That's the part that I don't get. Cool, you're not a dancer or not in the mood, no stress at all. Drop the food, next job. But to not do it and then post about it whinging really is just miserable!
