🚪 “Leave at Door” vs “Meet at Door”: A Delivery Driver’s Emotional Rollercoaster 😭

Let’s be real: When you pull up to that address and the app says “Leave at Door,” it’s like sweet, sweet music to your soul.

But when it says “Meet at Door”?
Suddenly you’re sweating like you just got drafted into the Hunger Games.

Welcome to the gig life — where delivering food turns into a daily game of “Will I Have to Speak to a Human Today?”

🍕 “Leave at Door”: The Holy Grail of Instructions

“Leave at door” is the dream. The golden ticket. The peace-and-quiet promise that you won’t have to make eye contact with someone in their mismatched pajamas and crusty socks.

Why drivers love it:

• No awkward small talk ✅
• No waiting while they unlock 3 different deadbolts ✅
• No “Wait, I forgot I ordered something” moments ✅
• Just drop the bag, snap a pic, and go 🚗💨

You’re in and out like a food delivery ninja.
You might even whisper, “Your Uber Eats order has been delivered, my liege,” before vanishing into the wind.

🧍“Meet at Door”: Why Though?

Now let’s talk about “Meet at Door.”
Also known as: “Prepare for unnecessary social interaction.”

You roll up to the house, and now you gotta:

• Turn off your music (bye Drake) 🎵
• Fix your resting delivery face 😐
• Stand there, holding food like a confused butler 🍱
• Wait. And wait. And wait some more ⏳

Sometimes you knock, and they yell from inside:

“JUST A SECOND!”

You’re stuck standing on the porch like a confused statue while they dig around for pants.

🧌 The Awkward Encounters

“Meet at door” comes with… baggage.

• The overly friendly guy who wants to talk about the weather while you’re holding three Chipotle bags.
• The half-dressed person who forgot pants were part of the deal.
• The person who looks at you like you cooked the food and made it late.
• The “Can you bring it inside?” person who thinks you’re room service.

Sometimes it’s just a hand poking out from behind the door like a ghost in a haunted house. No eye contact. Just grab-and-go. Weirdly efficient.

🤔 The Plot Twist: Mixed Signals

Worst case scenario?
They say “leave at door,” but then open it as you’re walking up like they’re catching you in the act.

Now you’re both startled.
Now you’re doing the awkward dance of “Do I hand this to you or keep walking?”
Now you’re both pretending this isn’t weird.

📸 Pro Tip: Always Snap That Pic

Whether they said “meet” or “leave,” always take the photo. Because:

• The customer will still claim “I never got it.”
• The app doesn’t believe your social trauma counts as proof.
• And frankly, your pic game is top tier. 📷✨

💡Final Thoughts: Just Leave It, Bro

To all customers out there:
Unless you’re tipping in cash, offering snacks, or handing out gold bars…

Just let us leave it at the door.
We love y’all — from a safe and silent distance.
