A delivery driver who sent a text asking a customer to 'help him out xesually' so he would deliver her food has been sacked.

A screenshot of the exchange was posted to Facebook - prompting American company DoorDash to remove the driver from the platform.

After receiving the message, the woman - who had ordered a takeaway - took to social media to share the incident, which happened on March 2.

The exchange began when the driver sent a text, stating: "Question for ya," to which the woman replied "Yes?"

He then bluntly asked: "First, are you single lol," to which she replied: "I have a boyfriend."

Undeterred, he continued: "Well look. First off, it's late, wet, rainy and I'm tired. Doordash offered me this delivery when I was 10 miles away, meaning there's not many drivers out.

"So I'll make you a deal. Help me out a little xesually and I'll deliver the food. If not, I'm going to have to cancel."

After receiving the messages, the woman shared them online, where she wrote: "I can’t believe this happened. I feel incredibly unsafe because now this sick individual has both my phone number and my address.

"I called the customer service phone number and all they said was “He must’ve been tired.” And reassigned my driver. I will not be using Doordash Drivers in the future if they’re going to allow this to happen."


The exchange went viral online, where other people shared their sympathy at the unacceptable exchange.

A DoorDash spokesman told The Mirror: "This inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour is never tolerated on the DoorDash platform.

"The Dasher involved was immediately deactivated earlier this month when the incident occurred, and we have been in touch with the customer and fully refunded the order.


"We sincerely regret that this incident fell short of the experience we strive to provide every day.”

Eta: a lot of these drivers are unsavory. Most harassment goes unreported. Since they are contractors the company won’t get rid of them.
I predict many cases of xesual assault, burglary, and worse in the near future.

They just said he must of been tired? People truly won’t take women’s safety seriously but want to front like heroes when they’re dead. If he’s pulling that stunt with her he’s doing it to others.

I would have been cussing and threatening to shoot him in the ass after "are you single"

There isn't even a word for this. Audacity doesn't cut it.

this is scary. because not only did she reject him (rightly so), but he's fired from DD AND he knows her address. I'd be putting up a ring door cam and getting a gun

Never know if he will return.

That’s the downside of the whole independent contractor thing.I’ve used DD and have even driven for them for extra cash before.

When you think about the fact that you’re giving strangers your address, it’s kind of scary. They do a background check but just because you don’t have a record, doesn’t mean you’re not a creep.

Honestly I'm so over these delivery services. Even the ones that are connected to the restaurants. In college I got Dominos delivered one time and the driver used the number that I had provided for delivery to ask me if I was single. I felt super uncomfortable so I just blocked his number and never got Dominoes delivered again under my name and address for the remainder of my college years. I just want food. Leave me alone.

This is so sick. But it wasn't until this went viral that he was terminated, which is also disgusting.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad she reported him. DoorDash needs to be cancelled period.

DoorDash isn't the problem or any ride share or gig economy jobs. This is a human problem. No company is really personally responsible. Legally of course but the problem is human beings and specifically males and the rape culture in our country and the disregard for women. Many men are like this, no matter who they work for or not.

This is disgusting. I've had three different lyft drivers contact me on the low trying to get at me after my ride ended. They were all fine asf but the AUDACITY of them knowing I could use that to get them fired just speaks volumes. Men are NOT afraid to go after what they want even if it's to their own detriment.

They need to find out who the customer service agent was and fire them too. Their response was unprofessional and idiotic.

Disgusting, evil, and weird. It doesn’t matter what food service it was btw. It’s the fact people are out here doing weirdo stuff.

DoorDash is the only food delivery service I use now (when I order food.) I’m just going to continue to cook for myself since GIG workers continue to show their hand.

Y’all should see how my amazon delivery drivers delivered a few of my packages earlier this month. They threw them anywhere near my house (literally) and took pictures of it like it was actually delivered.

That's why I erased my full name and do not have a picture. My name is only my initial and when I answer the door for my food I tell them to leave it at the door. There were multiple times I felt weird vibes from the male drivers. The way they looked at me made me feel uncomfortable esp some of the instacart drivers.

Agreed. Their only hiring requirement is that you have a car, bike or are willing to transport food. Most restaurants DO NOT put food in tamper proof packaging so they are going through your food and drinking your drinks.

Just a matter of time before something really bad happens.

needs to be cancelled period.

Smh. I used DD and Grubhub. Sometimes I use Postmates too. I feel a little safer since I live in an apartment building and don’t give them my apartment number. I also don’t meet them just have them drop it off in the waiting area downstairs. It’s still scary to think about this happening and DD obviously didn’t care until it went viral.

This is why I always pick up my food. I've never cared for delivery service. That sh!t always cold by the time it gets to your home anyways. I like to order my food and pick it up so that I know it's fresh.

Lots of weirdos out there in every field. These folks have nothing to lose and will stop at nothing. Reminds me of a girl who got a cab service in my area. The next day the driver came back to her home and texted her lewd messages. She reported it and he got fired and charged. Apparently he had done the same to other women. The other scary thing is that they know your address now. I was watching a show last night of a girl who got picked up by a cab driver. She reported him for inappropriate behaviour. Shortly after he camped outside her home and kidnapped/tried to rape her. Thankfully she was able to escape

He’ll be showing up later for his tip or to give her his tip

I went full Karen on Amazon the one time they did that to me (resulting in my package being stolen). They bring everything to my door & ring the doorbell now & they refunded my order so I could replace it. Tuh!

What’s scary is you know some woman would have felt obligated to let it slide out of “niceness” because that’s what we’re conditioned to do & he probably would’ve strong-armed his way in & raped her. It happened not too long ago with a fake UPS driver:
