    A New York town official has been arrested for allegedly shooting a DoorDash driver who was lost and trying to get directions, police said. The 24-year-old victim was attempting to deliver food to a house Friday night when he got lost in Chester, a town about 50 miles north of Manhattan, the New York State Police said. He "approached several homes asking for directions before arriving at the residence of John Reilly III," who is the Town of Chester highway superintendent, police said. Reilly, 48, told the victim "to get off his property," and then Reilly allegedly fired multiple shots...

    28-year-old Jackson Oltmanns said he was stabbed by someone he was trying to help overnight on Sunday. Oltmanns was waiting on a to-go order at a Waffle House located off West Rendon Crowley Road in South Fort Worth when he says someone knocked on his car window asking for money. Oltmanns decided to order the man some food. The Fort Worth Police Department later identified the suspect as Quindarius Cartwright. "He told me he was just trying to get some food, you know, acting out of my good nature and just trying to be nice," said Oltmanns. "I opened my...

    Hooking up using an app on your phone sounds like a good idea. But the “dates” don’t always go as planned. One Tinder user learned this after his meet-up with a woman in Colorado took a dark turn. Lauren Marie Dooley, 22, has been charged with felony second-degree kidnapping, two counts of second-degree assault, menacing, and false imprisonment. She allegedly pulled out a knife and tried to choke her Tinder date before ordering DoorDash. Colorado Springs Police Department officers were dispatched to E Cache La Poudre Street outside of Colorado Springs after reports of an “unknown call-for-service,” according to the...

    Buy Now Pay Later services are typically used on large purchases, like furniture. But now one service is branching out into fast food. DoorDash is partnering with Klarna, a financial company that lets customers schedule small payments over a set period of time, in a new partnership announced Thursday. When the option launches “soon,” DoorDash users can use Klarna to pay in four, interest-free payments or defer payments and let people pick a “date that aligns with their paycheck schedules,” according to a press release. (BNPL) services, which also include Affirm and Apple, have exploded over the past few years....
  • ‘Drunk Auntie’ Vibes: Kamala Rambles About Doritos at AI summit, Leaving Audience Baffled

    Failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris appeared drunk and rambled about nonsense during the AI conference HumanX at Fontainebleau in Las Vegas over the weekend. It’s hard to understand why Harris would be invited to speak at such a conference because if Harris were an expert on anything, it certainly wouldn’t be AI. This is probably why Harris veered off-script and droned on about her obsession with Doritos. Harris once said she binged on Doritos in dismay after former President Donald Trump secured the presidency in 2016. The story was recounted at the HumanX conference, where the former Vice President...

    Maybe she needed the snacks for another reason … **SNIP** The failed 2024 Democratic presidential candidate went off on a bizarre (and nacho cheese-flavored) tangent while trying to make a point about DoorDash and affordable housing during her headline slot at the HumanX conference at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Sunday. Harris, 60, left many baffled during her conversation with Nuno Sebastiao, CEO of data science company Feedzai, as she recounted ordering food on DoorDash to keep her going while watching last week’s Oscars. “We did DoorDash ’cause I wanted Doritos. And the red carpet part was about to start...

    At least she ate well. An Idaho woman was caught stealing over $170,000 from her employer — and blew most of it ordering food from delivery apps. Charlene Smith, formerly an office manager for a now-defunct tractor supply company out of Nampa, was caught embezzling the six-figure sum from 2021 to 2022 before the company closed its doors around 2023, the Idaho Tax Commission found.

    A helpless mom was zip-tied in front of her small children as armed men in Texas who posed as food delivery people forced their way into a Houston home. Those same thugs shot an police officer who later arrived at the home where the mom and kids were being terrorized after a worried neighbor called 9-1-1. The armed men pushed their way into the house after the mother answered the door Tuesday morning, initially hiding the guns. 'He came up with a red DoorDash bag, and he knocked...or rang the doorbell, and my daughter was going to tell him that...

    Hundreds of Venezuelan migrants are illegally working as food delivery drivers across America, DailyMail.com can reveal, showing up to your door under names and identities that don't belong to them. The troubling development is a consequence of the one million Venezuelan citizens who have flooded into the US, largely illegally, during President Joe Biden's time in office, with many entering through the US-Mexico border. It raises huge concerns about the safety of the home delivery apps and the consumer's ability to trust who is actually delivering food to their home and family - with customers' personal information potentially placed in...

    Migrants in the District of Columbia are driving unregistered mopeds and motorcycles, making food deliveries on popular apps, such as Uber Eats and DoorDash—violating both companies’ terms of use in the process. In April, The Daily Signal launched an investigation into the unprecedented rise in motorcycle and moped traffic in Washington, D.C. The news outlet uncovered that drivers, many of whom entered the country illegally over the past four years, were operating unregistered motorized vehicles in broad daylight, facing no consequences for those actions. Following The Daily Signal’s reporting, D.C. police launched Operation Ride Right to clamp down on these...

    HOUSTON – A Houston woman is in custody after firing a weapon towards a food delivery driver after a dispute from an order. On Friday, police say Jalyn Searcy-Williams, 24, ordered alcohol on DoorDash, but the driver refused to leave it at the location because the original purchaser was not present. In response, Searcy-Williams fired a gun at him. Deputies responded to the 12500 block of May Laurel Dr. after a nearby resident reported hearing the gunfire. Searcy-Williams was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. According to Constable Mark Herman, her bond has not been set...

    VIDEO AT LINK.......................... Feb. 15 (UPI) -- A Florida woman took out her phone and started recording when a trio of masked bandits stole her DoorDash taco order from in front of her door. Caterina Sevares said she opened the front door of her West Palm Beach apartment to retrieve her DoorDash order from Talkin' Tacos, but she instead came face to face with three raccoons who were enjoying her late-night meal. "My jaw dropped," Sevares told WOFL-TV. Sevardes took out her phone and recorded video of the scene, which she posted to TikTok. "Once they started hissing, I shut...

    SEATTLE — A new Seattle City ordinance designed to give food delivery app drivers a more livable wage is "backfiring," according to several drivers. You may have noticed that new $5 fee on Doordash and Uber Eats orders, but it is not just causing frustrated customers to delete their apps, as we reported. We are now learning the people the ordinance was designed to help are hurting. What used to be considered "hotspots" for workers on those apps, feel a little colder since Jan. 13, according to several drivers we heard from. That includes Gary Lardizabal, a longtime, app-based, food...

    Multiple Pizza Hut franchises in California are planning to lay off delivery drivers as the restaurant chain braces for an increase in the minimum wage for fast food workers next year. Several Pizza Hut operators filed notices to comply with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act saying they were discontinuing their delivery services. “PacPizza, LLC, operating as Pizza Hut, has made a business decision to eliminate first-party delivery services and, as a result, the elimination of all delivery driver positions,” a federal WARN Act notice filed by the fast-food operator with the state’s Employment Development Department said, Business Insider...

    An 8-year-old boy suffered a gunshot wound to the head while he was out looking at Christmas lights with his mother who was also delivering food for DoorDash. It happened in Lawton, Oklahoma, which is about 90 miles southwest of Oklahoma City. Nichole Groshong said in a GoFundMe post that she, her sons Zack and Waylon and her mother-in-law were in the 900 block of SW 35th Street around 8 p.m. on Dec. 10 when she stopped and put the car in reverse to show them some more lights. Then shots rang out. “I drove away as fast as I...

    A female DoorDash driver has been carjacked at gunpoint by an 11-year-old child in Virginia, according to police. The alleged victim, Deon Smith, was robbed at gunpoint by the young boy. She was making a delivery in an apartment complex in Richmond, according to the New York Post. Smith told Scripss New Richmond that the incident occurred along the 400 block of Westover Hills Boulevard. She was allegedly robbed by an 11-year-old boy and his accomplice Jahlia Henley, 18. Smith said she had been working as a delivery driver while trying to find full-time as a home health care nurse....

    Food delivery service DoorDash has warned its customers that not tipping their drivers may lead to delayed deliveries. The largest food delivery company in the United States warned in a since-deleted post to X that because its drivers can see which orders carry tips, and are free to take the jobs they want to, they may not be incentivized to take lower-value gigs. DoorDash, which currently holds 65% of the online meal delivery market in the US, said that it was testing out a new pop-up warning that encouraged its users to leave a tip. The Verge reported that adding...

    Israeli flags and posters of hostages kidnapped by Hamas sparked outrage and a boycott of a Long Island diner, where several staff quit over the show of support and business fell flat — until the Jewish community began to take notice. Peter Tsadilas, the owner of the Golden Globe Diner in Huntington, said he began displaying Israeli flags and posters as a way to support efforts to return the hostages taken in the Israel-Hamas war. But many locals have felt differently, according to Tsadilas, who told The Post three staff members quit, several patrons who came in daily haven’t returned,...

    A New York porch pirate targeted homes in broad daylight under the guise of delivering food as she canvassed residential neighborhoods for her next target, police said. Juliana Saggaram, 33, of East Elmhurst, Queens was arrested Wednesday after she used her position as a DoorDash driver to freely approach two homes and swipe packages. Saggaram conducted the scheme twice in 48 hours before she was caught in the act on Sept. 3 in Manhasset, when a 54-year-old victim reported the stolen package. The alleged thief had stopped at a nearby Chipotle for a DoorDash order to use the food order...
