He didn't have to drive anywhere, all he had to do was walk down the stairs to get the food - he was a lazy pita with an attitude.
That doesn't exuse getting mugged, these two thugs need to go to prison.
Read the article. He did walk down the stairs. He was on the front stoop. Driver wanted him to walk to the car to get his food rather than get out of the car. They stole the food and his phone. But the guy paying is the lazy one, yeah right.

Arguing over something like this is stupid. Just go to the car and get the food, he didn't have to drive anywhere and that's the whole point of these services. If you are really irritated call the restaurant and express your disatifaction with the delivery driver, but this is simply not worth getting into an argument with him. Yes, this guy participated in what happened to him by enraging the driver, no getting around that. AGAIN, it doesn't justify their over the top reaction, they need to go to jail.
The victim seems to be completely confused as to why he got attacked. He's thick in the head, he doesn't know how to read people or situations. Nor does he know how to pick his battles. He can't understand wth happened because he's an arrogant, clueless tw@t.

Sorry, I’m not going to agree with blaming the victim for this. Standing on your stoop and waving the guy to come bring you the food does not warrant any of what happened. I’m sure if he had any idea he was dealing with a psychopath he would’ve just gone to the car and get the food but why would he have expected that? Aside from that, he did agree to come down, and then when he got down there the guy said he had to come over to the car. Most people would not do that. You seem to be saying people need to be super nice and cooperative with everyone no matter how rude and obnoxious, anticipating the person might be a psycho, and if they’re not then the consequences are their fault.
I also want to add I lived in a second floor apartment for 18 years up until last year. I never once had any delivery person ask me to come down to get my delivery. Back in the day I even delivered for dominoes. I would never in 1 million years expect the person to come downstairs.
The fact that they stole his phone should be enough to tell you this was not a normal delivery driver.

Come back when you know what you are talking about. Examples of your ignorance:
1. Door Dash is a delivery service hired by the customer. Calling the restaurant to complain about a delivery service makes zero sense.
2. The job of Door Dash is to deliver to, wait for it, the customer's door. It's all on the driver that this didn't happen.
This customer came all the way downstairs when he had no requirement to do so. He then expressed his dissatisfaction, which was totally justified, and was attacked. You want to call him an arrogant tw@t for expecting what the service promises? LMAO, only on CD would you read a take like this, I have no idea where some of you get your thoughts but it's amusing.
If your mail or newspaper was delivered down the street and not to your house and you saw the postal or newspaper carrier you would have ever right to ask the guy to do the job right and deliver to your house as expected. Only an idiot would criticize you for this. This is no different.
You need to stop blaming the victim here when this is all on the driver.

I don't "need" to do anything. I have my opinion, you have yours. I hope with your attitude you don't end up with the bad luck of facing down a loose cannon for a door dash delivery driver. Instead of the tiny inconvenience of walking outside to get his food he got it smashed into his face and his leg broken - nice tradeoff for being "right." Or not.
Pick your battles, this was absolutely nothing to let ego take over. It's a stupid late night snack ffs. Guy was an idiot.

You are wrong on all fronts, from what a DoorDash driver's job is, to calling the restaurant to complain.
And calling the customer a "PITA" and a "tw@t"? Wow. Have you ever even worked in the service industry? I've done more than my fair share of time working minimum wage and service industry jobs. Even as a bratty 17 year-old with an attitude problem, I did not think this way.
It is a DoorDash delivery driver's JOB to deliver to the door, or wherever else the customer requests in the special instructions, e.g., if the customer is calling from a workplace and they tell you to deliver to "Parking Lot B, employee entrance, front desk", then it's your job to haul your butt and the customer's food through the employee entrance doors and to the front desk, and tell the desk clerk that Susan's food is here. You don't call from the main street entrance and say, "Come and get your food."
When a customer orders from their home, it is the DoorDash driver's job to deliver to the front door of that house. That is not an opinion. It is a fact.
With the exception of 1 clueless/entitled kid, every single food delivery driver I have ever had since I started ordering food online in 2006, whether at home in NJ, or from the office in NYC, has come straight to my door. At 1 place in Manhattan, that meant getting clearance from security guards at the front desk in the lobby, and then riding an elevator up 36 floors. You're telling me that all of those people over 13 years have just been super extra nice to me for no reason? Believe me, I'm not that cute.
Your whole "the delivery driver is saving the customer a trip to the restaurant, so the customer should be grateful and come out to the curb" nonsense is ridiculous. If it's pizza or Chinese, the whole business model, historically, has always been door-to-DOOR delivery...most of these places are not sit-down establishments where people would go anyway. The pizza places even used to have the extra "In 30 minutes or less!" gimmick on top of that.
For sit-down restaurants, delivery orders mean that the customer is freeing up tables in the restaurant, that can accommodate more paying customers. The delivery customer is buying food and making money for the restaurant, without the restaurant having to expend waitstaff and busser resources, and providing a table. The restaurant is not doing the delivery customer a favor. The customer is doing the restaurant a favor.

Too many people with attitudes like yours, no wonder there are so many murders and fights every day in this country.
