Summary
DoorDash said it deactivated a driver accused of intentionally canceling and redirecting food orders bound for a Department of Homeland Security facility.
The company said the driver misused its safety-unassign feature to divert the food based on destination, calling the conduct theft and a violation of its Community Guidelines and Platform Access Policy.
DoorDash also said the individual was abusive toward a support agent when staff tried to address the report, which it cited as a separate policy breach.
The case drew attention after Libs of TikTok posted screenshots from an alleged Buffalo-area driver boasting about canceling orders to a local detention center and donating the food.
In a follow-up statement, DoorDash said the person no longer has platform access and noted Dashers are independent contractors, not employees.
