'I love communism': DoorDasher faces the consequences after 'nazi' DHS meal goes to the wrong location



A self-described lover of communism has had to face the music after allegedly crowing about canceling a DoorDash food order for the Department of Homeland Security and stealing the meal.

A social media user who indicated that she was a DoorDash driver apparently posted messages about how she took food ordered by a detention center in Buffalo, New York, and instead dropped it off at her local pantry.

'When our support team attempted to address their report and explain our policies, the individual was abusive toward the agent, which is a separate violation.'

The account posting under the name "nixxslingerland" had a profile photo of the user wearing a "Black Lives Matter" shirt.

"Just dropped off another cancelled nazi DoorDash to my free pantry and was handed this large bag of m&ms in return," she apparently wrote. "I love communism."

She apparently added in another post, "For new people who are unaware, there's unfortunately a detention center right in my town, and every single time I contact support and tell them they need to remove the location completely, I doubt they ever will, but it still feels good getting their orders cancelled and donating their food."

DoorDash responded after the popular Libs of TikTok account posted images of the alleged messages. The account shared the images on Wednesday afternoon, and they appear to be marked as a couple of days old.

"This Dasher's account has been deactivated," the official business account responded to Libs of TikTok within hours.

"Misusing the safety-unassign feature to intentionally cancel orders and redirect the food based on where it's going is theft and a violation of both our Community Guidelines and Platform Access Policy," it added. "When our support team attempted to address their report and explain our policies, the individual was abusive toward the agent, which is a separate violation."

The user appears to have canceled the account or renamed it. Blaze News reached out for comment to other accounts believed to be associated with the same user but did not receive a response.

The DoorDash delivery company previously faced backlash from anti-Trump liberals after a marketing stunt included a delivery driver dropping off McDonald's food at the White House.

Liberals SPEW hatred at DoorDash after marketing stunt with Trump at White House



The DoorDash delivery app is getting some backlash from those angry about a publicity stunt it had with President Donald Trump at the White House Monday.

The president smiled for the cameras after receiving a package from McDonald's delivered by a DoorDash worker. He tipped her $100, and she praised his "no taxes on tips" policy for saving her money.

'Today, I deleted their app. There are other delivery services that don't pander to a pedophile. F**k DoorDash.'

Almost immediately, liberals and other anti-Trump critics lambasted the company over the promotion.

"I'm ashamed to admit that I've spent a good deal of money using door dash. This lame s**t you pulled with trump made it super easy to delete my account. Get f**ked," one user responded on the X platform.

"I've been ordering @DoorDash for years. Years and years. Today, I deleted their app. There are other delivery services that don't pander to a pedophile. F**k DoorDash and that bulls**t PR scam with Trump," replied a user identifying as a Canadian.

"Despite yall making it exceedingly difficult to delete accounts, got that s**t done. Absolutely F**k Trump, ICE, MAGA, and doordash," one response reads.

"Just delete Doordash. F**k Trump," another user said.

"Just cancelled my DashPass and hopefully many more do the same. I'm not funding Trumpie propaganda," another detractor replied.

"You f**king clowns use the fake ass driver to f**king promote this f**king bulls**t for a f**king clown show pathetic f**king pathetic," another critic said.

"Deleting ur app! Been a long term volume customer for years. Recommend you firing the marketing genius who's gonna cost you millions of dollars for that performance at the White House! You have alienated millions of people," said another.

"Deleted my app and will never use you again. Trump is a FASCIST, who is killing people and sending children to torture camps to be raped. I'll be telling everyone I know to never use you again. I hope your company fails," reads another message to the company.

Despite the outrage from many on the left, the company's stock price had its best session in eight weeks after the White House promotion.

Trump Doubles Down Attacks On Pope, Refuses To Apologize

'Nothing to apologize for'

DoorDash offers cash to record yourself talking or cleaning — to train bots



Food delivery app company DoorDash has revealed a new way for couriers to make money.

In a blog post on Thursday, the company introduced DoorDash Tasks, a method for users to earn cash by feeding its artificial intelligence systems.

'These are the kinds of real-world problems we've been solving for over a decade.'

The tasks range from innocuous to voluntarily intrusive. DoorDash listed example tasks like taking photos of a restaurant's food to help showcase the menu to customers, photographing a hotel entrance so future couriers know the drop-off location, or even helping a delivery bot that may have tipped over or otherwise lost its way.

At the same time, DoorDash said it was piloting a new stand-alone app for users to "complete activities like filming everyday tasks or recording themselves speaking in another language."

According to a report by Bloomberg, this more specifically refers to users filming themselves doing household chores like washing dishes, loading a dishwasher, or folding laundry.

The audio and video thus captured will reportedly be used to train DoorDash's AI models as well as the company's partners'. This likely means that data will be sold or shared to partners in the reported sectors: retail, insurance, hospitality, and technology.

An example of a paid video submission's instructions, cited by Bloomberg, included a dishwashing task that asked the worker to use a body camera pointed down toward the hands as the worker scrubbed and rinsed at least five dishes. The user was asked to hold each clean dish steady in the frame for at least a few seconds.

This could be used to train a robotics firm's robot slave army to recognize certain objects from a specific point of view.

DoorDash showcased an image of a sample task, which included going to a local grocery store to take pictures of the current stock on the shelves.

"It's simple: you can't deliver to a door you can't find or get someone milk if you don't know what's on the shelf," said Ethan Beatty, DoorDash's GM of tasks.

"These are the kinds of real-world problems we've been solving for over a decade, and we realized the same capabilities that helped us could help other businesses too. The goal of Tasks is to help more businesses understand what's happening on the ground and gather new insights, all while giving Dashers a new way to earn on their own terms," Beatty added.

Pay is shown up front for the tasks and is determined based on the required effort and complexity of the job.

The tasks, and their accompanying app, are currently available only in some areas in the United States. California, New York City, Seattle, and Colorado are excluded.

DoorDash said that since 2024, more than 2 million tasks have already been completed.

White House Reportedly Grading Corporate America On Enthusiasm For Trump Agenda

'Separate corporate allies from opportunists'

Gun-toting DoorDash driver turns the tables on wannabe carjackers



An armed DoorDash driver turned the tables on a couple of would-be carjackers last week in a Philadelphia suburb.

The driver arrived just after 2:30 a.m. Tuesday to deliver food at the Lynnewood Gardens Apartments in the 1900 block of Humphrey Merry Way in Cheltenham Township, WCAU-TV reported, citing police.

Delivery drivers 'feel the need to arm themselves for their own personal protection, and it's incidents like this that kind of reinforce that philosophy.'

It was at that point that two people — one with a gun — confronted the DoorDash driver, police told the station.

The driver told police one of the suspects demanded his keys, after which the driver threw them to the ground, WCAU reported.

The tables turn

Police said the driver — armed with a legally purchased gun and a permit to carry — soon heard a gunshot and fired back, the station said.

The two suspects ran off, but WCAU said a K-9 found 18-year-old Divine Allen Hargrove hiding near a garage.

According to the station's video report, Hargrove also was near a ghost gun that police said was loaded with an extended magazine containing 26 rounds of live ammunition.

Officials said Hargrove told police he was the victim, but the DoorDash driver described the males who approached him, and Hargrove matched, WCAU said.

Hargrove was arraigned on robbery and gun charges and taken to Montgomery County Correctional Facility after failing to post bail, WTXF-TV reported. The bail amount was $100,000 cash, WCAU added.

The other suspect got away, WCAU said, and no one was hurt.

Investigators added that the resident at the address for the DoorDash delivery didn't place the order, WTXF reported.

Officials told the station similar robberies have been reported in the area.

Lt. Andrew Snyder of Cheltenham Police told WCAU that investigators believe carjacking was the suspects' motive since DoorDash drivers don't deal with cash.

Snyder added to the station that delivery drivers "feel the need to arm themselves for their own personal protection, and it's incidents like this that kind of reinforce that philosophy."

Snyder also told WCAU that police "really want to hear from anybody who may have been a victim of something similar who just didn't report it or felt that they didn't want to get involved."

Those with information should contact Cheltenham Police at 215-885-1600 or email PoliceTips@CheltenhamPA.gov, WCAU added.

New York City announces future $20 min wage for food app workers, and it will keep increasing for the 'frontline heroes'



The New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection announced that it will implement a minimum wage for food application delivery workers such as Uber Eats and Door Dash and promised an hourly wage of about $20 within the next two years.

With approximately 60,000 food delivery workers in the city, the average wage is about $7.09 per hour, according to the city's news release.

The nearly 300% wage increase will be implemented over approximately 22 months after the June 11, 2023, announcement, with a drastic increase of over $10 per hour up to $17.96 starting on July 12, 2023. In April 2025, it will jump to at least $19.96 per hour.

With earnings set to adjust annually for inflation, the wages will go above and beyond $20 per hour the following years.

"Apps have the option to pay delivery workers per trip, per hour worked, or develop their own formulas, as long as their workers make the minimum pay rate of $19.96, on average," the press release stated.

“Our delivery workers have consistently delivered for us — now, we are delivering for them,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement. “This new minimum pay rate, up by almost $13.00/hour, will guarantee these workers and their families can earn a living, access greater economic stability, and help keep our city’s legendary restaurant industry thriving.”

However, the food delivery companies have shown some opposition and messaged their employees in April 2023 with concerns that this will limit work flexibility.

"The rules put forth by the DCWP will make working conditions far worse for you. They will severely limit your flexibility. You may not be able to choose when and how you work," GrubHub said in its message.

\u201cSo now the apps are desperately sending messages wanting our support when they never gave us support whe we get injured or #Deliverista dies while working for them. \n\nHey @Grubhub @DoorDash @UberEats: Where was your support to us when we needed you the most? \n\nMinimum pay now.\u201d
— Antonio Solis (To\u00f1o) (@Antonio Solis (To\u00f1o)) 1680725210

DoorDash said that the new decision was “extreme policy” according to CNN and that the company may litigate against the city.

Uber Eats reportedly claimed the city is not “being honest with delivery workers.”

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, who appeared at the city's press conference, called food delivery "the American dream" and said the wage increase is "another major victory in our fight to deliver justice for the city’s delivery workers."

As well, the delivery workers were called "frontline heroes" by New York State Senator Jessica Ramos. "Throughout the darkest days of the pandemic, and today," she added.

However, the city's own comptroller, Brad Lander, called the decision "watered down" and said that his office calculated that a $12.69 hourly wage was actually more appropriate.

The city said it will work to convert vacant newsstands into shelters for delivery workers and charging stations for electric bicycles and phones.

Florida man allegedly kidnapped, raped DoorDash driver. Victim's family tracked down her phone and rescued her, but not before someone was shot.



A Florida man is accused of kidnapping and raping a DoorDash driver in Tampa, according to police. The family of the victim tracked down her phone and rescued her – but not before someone was shot.

Around 11 p.m. on Tuesday, a DoorDash driver was making a delivery at a Residence Inn hotel in Tampa, Florida. The driver, a woman in her early 20s, exited her vehicle to make the delivery. Suddenly, a man allegedly approached her with a gun and forced her to return to her car.

At gunpoint, the suspect purportedly ordered her to drive to Belara Lakes Apartments. Police say that the man then sexually battered the DoorDash driver.

While the woman was making DoorDash deliveries, she was on the phone with her girlfriend by way of AirPods in her ears. After hearing the kidnapping and the sexual assault over the phone, the girlfriend informed the victim's family that she was in danger. The family contacted the police and then tracked down the location of the woman's phone.

The family rescued the victim, but not before someone was shot.

The Tampa Police Department said in a statement, "The suspect responded by firing multiple times, with one shot striking a family member of the victim’s girlfriend, a female in her 20s, before fleeing the scene."

Both the DoorDash driver and the shooting victim were rushed to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.

On Saturday, the Tampa Police Department announced that a suspect in the sexual assault and shooting had been arrested.

Joseph Killins, 38, has been charged with armed kidnapping, robbery with a firearm, armed sexual battery, and aggravated battery with a weapon.

Killins was also hit with another robbery charge for another crime he is accused of committing on Wednesday.

Inside the same apartment complex where Killins allegedly raped the DoorDash driver, the suspect is accused of pushing a woman in her early 40s to the ground. He punched the woman and stole her backpack, according to police.

Killins is being held at the Orient Road Jail.

"This criminal is now off the streets thanks to the tireless efforts of every Tampa Police Department employee and the assistance provided by members of our community," said Lee Bercaw – the interim chief of the Tampa Police Department. "My thoughts remain with the victims. I hope this arrest brings them a sense of comfort knowing that he will now face justice for the crimes he chose to commit."
