If you’re leaving a job on good terms, your last day at work should be a breeze. But one Claire’s worker learned that everything doesn’t always go smooth sailing, especially when it comes to treating yourself to lunch being delivered via DoorDash.
In a recent video, TikTok user @lilmissscary shared how on her last day working at Claire’s, her manager decided to treat her to a meal they’d have delivered to the store. When receiving her food, she noticed part of the meal had been eaten.
As of Wednesday evening, the video has received more than 13,000 views and more than 700 likes.
@lilmissscary said the order in total was about $40 and that she placed the order at 1:22pm, and the pick-up time was about 1:33pm.
“It was picked up 10 f****** minutes after it was made, which means it would’ve been fresh, and it would’ve been here a little after 2 o’clock,” @lilmissscary said in the video.
But the dasher, according to @lilmissscary, arrived at the retail store at 2:44pm— almost an hour and a half after the order was originally placed. @lilmissscary says the driver did receive a $7 tip. After taking care of customers, she says she went to go heat up their food and noticed that not only was it cold, but a cheeseburger was missing.
“We spent $40 on food and didn’t even get all of our food,” @lilmissscary says, visibly upset. “And I reported it on the [DoorDash] app [that] one of my orders is gone, and it gave me $3 in DoorDash credits.”
@lilmissscary says she called the restaurant to get some clarity but ended up at a dead end. She says she then called the dasher back, but it ended up going to voicemail.
“So either he blocked my number or that number was f****** fake,” @lilmissscary says.
Eventually, @lilmissscary says she received a new dasher with the help of a restaurant worker, who said they’d be happy to give her free food next time she visited because of the inconvenience.
“Moral of the story, don’t f****** DoorDash anymore. It’s literally terrible,” @lilmissscary says. “That has happened on multiple occasions where I’ve had food missing, and DoorDash doesn’t do shit about it [or] I don’t get my full refund.”

The Daily Dot reached out to @lilmissscary via TikTok comment for any further statements.
45% of Americans are dependent on food deliveries
One report found that about 45% of Americans are dependent on food deliveries, and when something goes wrong with their order, they largely blame the restaurant. Third-party services, like DoorDash, haven’t escaped criticism, with nearly 20% telling friends and family not to use a particular service because they received an inaccurate order, according to Restaurant Dive.
The Daily Dot reached out to DoorDash via email for more information.
According to its website, DoorDash usually presents three options to customers when it comes to missing food: receive app credit, get refunded, or have your missing items re-delivered.

Commenters on @lilmissscary’s post largely related to the user’s experience and shared their own food delivery horror stories.
“One time this lady door dashed my ice cream order, she took a pic of it in front of my house then stole it,” user Saraphina (@xerofuxg1ven) said.
“I ordered Panda [Express] last night, [and] it was $40. We got three different meals that weren’t ours. I had a meltdown because half of it I’m allergic to. They reordered and sent the food again 45 minutes later,” user @bugbrattany said.
