DoorDash driver filmed spitting on customer’s order

The disgusting behaviour was captured by the doorbell camera of the homeowner, based in the US state of Florida, at an apartment complex Saturday afternoon (local time).

The act may have been in response to a lousy tip, Local 10 reported, according to NY Post.

The driver – a DoorDash worker – set the bagged food down on the apartment’s stoop, snapped a photo for proof of delivery on the app and then spat on the bag three times while mumbling something inaudible under his breath, the footage showed.

A 13-year-old boy and his mother who placed the order said their stomachs turned when they watched the incident unfold in real-time through the live video.

“My reaction was I wanted to throw up,” the teen, Elias Crisanto, told Local 10.

“It’s so disgusting. I mean, who does that?”

He said he and his mum paid around $30 (A$46.80) for the order and added a $3 (A$4.68) tip.

They guessed the driver was displeased by the amount they tipped and decided to spray their order with his saliva as punishment.

Elias said he sent DoorDash the recording and asked for a refund, but was initially denied until he got a customer service rep on the phone.

The company said the driver involved would no longer be able to deliver for DoorDash in an email to the teen.

“We do not condone this type of action and have therefore taken the step in removing them from our platform,” DoorDash said.

“This Dasher will no longer be able to deliver future orders on DoorDash. Results of all internal investigations are kept private.”
