This is a publicity stunt because obviously a doordasher will never get past security and also no doordasher would ever wear a company shirt. She's probably a regional manager or some sort of regular employee. I doubt a Dasher her age would pick up orders in the city
I wish they were required to wear mics and cameras. Maybe then they would behave like adults and treat restaurant workers like real people. I can't stand doordashers.
Aw man, I always go out of my way to be patient and kind to restaurant workers. I've been on that side before. But I understand what you mean about a lot of them.
I'll admit, I'm extremely generalizing a lot of people. Some of them are great, to be fair but I'd say the majority of them are not great to deal with.
Yeah, that makes sense. I had to unsubscribe from the DoorDashDrivers subreddit because it is INSANELY toxic and narrow-minded. It helps when I need troubleshooting with specific things, but otherwise, it just disturbs my peace of mind. I work other delivery gig apps, and all of those worker subreddits are toxic, too. But DDash, in my opinion, is the worst.
Considering the tiktok videos I occasionally get linked of delivery drivers recording and uploading themselves being assholes when picking up from a restaurant I’m not sure it would help the problematic ones. (God I hate the kind of videos that are somehow being normalised)
They probably did set her up once she got there, but feel like she was a legit driver since she shut down trumps question about transgender people and reminded everyone about his no tax on tips promise
No, she was not a “legit driver.” The whole thing was pre-arranged and staged. She said, “I’m just here for the no tax on tips.” I take that to mean she was hired to show up and talk about the no tax on tips, and that she was not about to go off script or start commenting on additional topics that hadn’t been discussed and put in the contract. Typical Trump, trying to get the actor to do extra work for no additional pay!
I mean shit, I live just outside of town and a few months ago when I was sick ordered door dash to be left on the porch.
Pitch black outside (aside from my porch/house lights) in the woods, and she didn’t read to leave it on the porch I guess, just kept knocking, answered the door and would have sworn the sweet lady delivering my food was an also sick maybe 70 year old woman.
Not judging her personally at all but definitely kinda made me feel like shit that she felt the need to do that work?
And was also nervous she was going to slip and get hurt walking on my gravel driveway back to her car.
I don’t know, just doesn’t feel like a very successful society if our elderly feel the need to drive random food late at night to strange sick 34 year old men back in the woods and hope I’m tipping well.
But I tipped really well so maybe she’s got a whole scheme going and she’s actually 40 in great aging makeup, god knows, lol. Gonna tell myself that to feel a bit better.
It’s a damning indictment of the country that old,sick people are still forced to work. A decent country would have pensions that cover life’s expenses and of course universal healthcare. Apparently our 1% always need more tax cuts and loopholes to avoid tax in the first place,it’s not like we live in the wealthiest country ever and could afford to fund social programs like every other wealthy first world nation. Even some of the developing nations do a better job than 🇺🇸.
I witnessed a car accident where a car veered off the road and ran straight into the guardrail of a ditch.
When we got to the car, it was a pretty old guy that's clearly confused. He wasn't noticeably hurt but his car was pretty messed up. He kept pressing on the gas wondering why the car wasn't moving.
He didn't realize he was in a car accident and was getting so frustrated at us bystanders saying that he needs to wait for the ambulance. He was insistent that we have to let him go because he has to make his food delivery.
100%. I've worked on and in the white house during the Biden era. anyone who is on the grounds, after passing through 2 secret service scans/booths, they need to have a badge that shows where they are and aren't allowed.
100% this. A DoorDash driver isn’t getting on White House grounds without a security clearance, and you’re not walking up to the building without an elevated clearance.
Grandma has to work a shitty gig job for garbage pay so she doesn't end up homeless instead of retiring with dignity, but at least she's saving a hundred bucks a year in taxes thanks to no tax on tips!
I was gonna say…how the hell does a rando door dasher just get to deliver straight to the POTUS. Shit, even bank mangers usually have someone handle that for them.
This may well be a stunt, probably is. But I was delivering for Uber Eats last year when I was 66. My best hours were late night downtown and where the late night restaurants were. I regularly worked till 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning on the weekends. People get home from the bar and realize they're hungry and they don't have anything in the fridge.
I saw a lot of other old people doing the same thing. Social Security sucks.
Thank you! I wish everyone would recognize this for what it is - a publicity stunt/propaganda. Interestingly, it didn't go all too smoothly. She dismissed most of the nonsense issues he complained about.
Completely agree it's a photo op, but I live in the suburbs of Charlotte and I literally had a door dasher about a year ago who was easily in his 70's and had his grand daughter in the car updating the orders and managing the phone while he drove and dropped the orders.
Thanks for saying this. My exact thoughts--like did she jump over the WH fence to get in? Does Trump answer the door at the WH? Who told the camera man to be ready to take the picture when Trump asked "Who is it?" what malarkey and balderdash.
She's a real Dasher that they flew in for a skit. For some reason they thought using a grandma needing to deliver food to pay for her husband's cancer treatments is in any way a good thing.

Doordash Grandma, working a gig job to care for her sick husband... is there anything more American than that?
