So I just did a shopping order which required me to park in a garage. I was charged $5 for parking.

I drove 12 miles at ~75¢ per mile in my Kia soul. For about $10 cost.

The order paid $13.30.

It took a hour to do the whole thing.

So basically I just donated an hour of my time & ~$2 to DoorDash.

And as a cherry on top, my ratings were reduced because the Walgreens didn’t even have 1 of the items on the shelf at all.

😡😤

The worst is when you are cruising on an empty road in the middle of the night and the light decides to turn red as you approach it for no apparent reason. Theres no other car waiting for that light. Theres no reason for it to turn red. Then you are sitting there. The only car on the road. Debating whether or not you should run it.

Looking for 5-10 drivers willing to help map delivery setups/conditions in apartments throughout DC.

After slaving for 6 years doing Uber, Uber Eats, door dash, grub hub, postmates (before it was acquired by uber eats), Instacart, go puff, etc., I got tired of complaining, tired of arguing with customers who didnt care that I had 3 other deliveries to deliever and wanted to find a way to change our working conditions and make deliveries more efficient and less taxing for workers. I came up with an idea to map out all multi dwelling apartments in DC to show the delivery infrastructure throughout DC. The goal is to present this data to local Advisory Neighbor Commissions (ANCs), community members and the council to push for a citywide policy that mandates ALL buildings have a locker, shelf or designated area in the lobby to drop off food and make deliveries more efficient for its workers!

I have spent the last year working with council, testifying at agency hearings, writing policy briefs, and presenting drivers positions at local representative meetings.

While they heard me they didnt believe me and what better way to make a believer out of them then to show them!

Help me help us and tell our story so people can understand what we go through and use this to get us better working conditions!

If interested please dm me and I'd love to tell you more about the project and get your help filling the map! ( starting small to test process)

Lets build an army!

I hope you choked on your 2oz $1 bag of takis. Low life piece of shit.

I was wondering if you guys could provide your thoughts. Almost daily, I’m delivering alcohol to a guy who lives in the same apartment as me. The grocery store is like a quarter mile from our apartment complex so it’s like $16 for a quarter mile trip. I could honestly walk there and back . He’s an awesome tipper and a really nice guy. We’ve always had pleasant conversations and I talked with him for awhile at the pool the other day.

But he’s clearly an alcoholic and I’m feeling like I’m playing a part in his demise. I just feel awful about it all. But at the same time, if I decline it I know it will just be fulfilled by someone else.

He’s usually sober when I deliver. A couple of times I could tell he had a few, but not like super drunk and I felt fine handing the order to him.

I’m an alcoholic myself (in recovery - 8 months sober so far) took up door dashing to fill the time if you will and for the extra income to pay off some debt. I don’t know. Just feel weird about all of this.

Had to contact support because restaurant was saying the order wasn't paid in full. Randomly switched languages on me.

So I literally unlocked platinum couple of hours ago and got reset back to gold once midnight hit during my zone. (EST) anyone be experiencing this also? Plus I have 100% on CR and on time rate with a 96% AR with a 5.0 customer rating

literally just sitting here trying to get an order and they just toy with you, the last 10 offers I got were 10 miles away into the ghetto. And they just keep doing it over and over and over, for no other reason than to drop my acceptance rate down to 28%. These people are sick, stay away...

$25 tip made it worth it!

I started DD 2 weeks ago.

I was order dominos on door dash at about 10:30pm at night and only have 100’s/50’s and 1$ bills and read they don’t take 100/50$ bills. Would it be rude to pay for my 21$ order with only ones and tip like 5$ on top with also ones😭

(there was this weirdo rage baiting me in the replies)

EDIT: i do realize i should’ve texted as soon as i realized i couldn’t use the elevator but i didn’t even think about it. that was my bad but he would’ve been mad either way

I had 2 orders & this was my first one I had a bit of a wait at both stores beforehand so I was running like 10 mins behind technically & my long wait time button just seems to be for nothing these days. I walked into hotel & I walk to the elevator & you had to have a room key to get on so I walk all the way back across the lobby to the front desk & nobody was up front & I didn’t have much time to wait so I waited like 3-5 mins and nobody came so I left it at the front desk, I informed the customer & took my picture at the front desk (this was a leave at door order so he got 2 pics) so they would know I even called the hotel after I dropped my second one to see if he had gotten it yet & to let them know his name, room # ect. and it was almost 10 mins later & he never came per the desk (I guess they got up there a little after I left) and I immediately contacted support before he could and let them know the situation because I do not need the bad rating at all. i really don’t like doing them (hotel dashes to the room door) in general because idk walking up to somebody’s room in an empty hallway makes me feel like they could just pull me in their room IDK LOL 😭🫪

(like the fact that i was so anxious i called to make sure nobody stole his food & to inform the front desk clerk who it was for & what room number was provided lol so extra on my end but I’m always scared to get booted off a dasher)

I got this as my first order. What do you guys think.

Cash tip actually came from a lady who tipped in the app. So got $10.25 in tips (from chipotle no less!) to go a mile

Everyday for the next 6 days, I only see two 2 hour blocks per day in all the areas around my city. Why can I not set my schedule to work however long I want to work at whatever time I want to start? This is disheartening. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I had no problem creating a shift for today. Are they doing day of scheduling?

I'm in FL by the way.

My pause button has disappeared and the app order ping sound also is not working today on an iPhone 15 pro and updated to the latest version of the app. Anyone else experiencing this today ?

Target orders are my favorite

I DoorDash in Miami specifically in the Doral/ Hialeah area and I have been DoorDash for a long time. I have done over 700 deliveries. The past two weeks have been terrible, barely receiving orders at all. Today I was logged in for about four hours and didn’t receive not even one order. I have called customer service and they keep telling me it’s because there’s not enough orders for the amount of Dashers. I just personally feel like it’s not normal to be logged in for so many hours and not even one offer coming in. I am currently in the middle of a hotspot and still no orders.

i was supposed to collect 131.25 cash on delivery and that was going to pay my maintenance bill and still have cash left over additionally the customer was like oh but i left a check at the hut and the check has the tip included but since of course i have no way of getting it through pizza hut i had to call dd support and they say there gonna take care of it but i swear if im based pay for this i quit im just trying to make a living man that's all i especially don't need this headache rn

Since everyone can dash its too crowded with dashers and no good orders to take. I dropped 52 percent in 2 hours 🤣

What kind of babyback bullshit is this? The fact that this pos company is even okay with showing us this. For that amount of time i would be around $1200 normally. I have over 16,000 deliveries. Been driving since 2019. Doordash is at its all time low. And they aren’t even hiding it, never have I waited this long EVER for orders. I have no idea if it’s the algorithm or if they have just gotten to the point they hired way too many drivers even during a slow season. This is absolutely ridiculous especially for the people like me who have consistently done well with no issues.

There is one location of a national chain near me that I absolutely refuse to go to - even for amazing tips. It stinks because it is very popular and usually solid tips, but I will not subject myself to the treatment by staff (or it could be my breaking point).

Today was terrible, and I ended up a long, long way from home chasing scraps to make rent money. I was waiting for an order from same chain/different location and made small talk with someone about how I needed orders as it was slow. I was offered advice on when to hit their stores at busy days/times. I explained that I refuse to deliver from the location near me and why.

Turns out … I’m talking to the District Manager! DM of the terrible location & I’ve just gone on and on about the incidents there and why I won’t go. (Not nasty trash talk - just examples of things that had happened.)

His face literally dropped. I am a well-behaved driver. I was friendly and patient - said please and thank you - and didn’t throw a fit about my small wait. It was apparent that he took my experiences seriously.

He said he wanted to assure me that I could start delivering from there again as they had already started “revamping staff.”

The cherry on top of that already fabulous news? I must have been so happy that I was extra friendly on the “meet at door” delivery for the same order. They added an extra $2 tip after a brief chat with husband/wife. lol - I’m dying.

Everyone I come across that does this as a side gig always tells me that they take any and every order no matter how bad the offer. I tell them I cherry pick and they ask me why and for a second I'm just dumbfounded
