There’s no shortage of bizarre stories of DoorDash pick-ups, but TikToker Desireee’s (@desiivv) experience might just take the cake.

In the viral clip, which has amassed 70,600 views, Desiree says, “On today’s episode of exotic pickups with DoorDash we’re at Discount Tire.”

The footage then switched to her placing a tire encased in a plastic bag in the back of her car. “Trunk is full, so we’re gonna have to do this back seat,” she said.

When she arrived at the destination, Desiree discovered something even more strange—it was another Discount Tire branch.

In the video description, she added: “lmaooo adding this to my resume.”

Some commenters were confused

One commenter summed up the viewer experience in expressing their confusion. “Wait.. so you picked up a Discount Tire, tire… to take to another Discount Tire?” they asked. “The employees are so nonchalant, like this is a daily occurrence? I’m so confused.”

Another added, “I thought they had pick up trucks and an employee would simply drive to the other store and pick one up and bring it back. Maybe these days their employees make so much money that it’s cheaper to use DoorDash.”

While a third remarked, “Least they placed it in a bag for you. Also if they have DoorDash for tires specifically too. If you got bigger vehicle – you can pick up more tires. And usually would pay from where you got them.”

Other DoorDashers could relate

In the comments, other DoorDashers also weighed in. “Happens often,” a fourth said. “The other day I drove a headlight bulb for 35 miles.”

A fifth wrote, “Omg I had an order like that one time. It was wild, from one auto place to the next.”

“Why can’t I get orders like this?” a sixth asked. “All I get is orders for a bunch of easily spilled drinks and cold food.”
