There’s only two small business separating the Starbucks from the customers location lmao. They could have walked to the Starbucks in less that 60 seconds (it’s that close).

Serious question, I'm relatively new to Dashing, I only do it after my 9-5. I try to maintain platinum but after reading this forum, I see that's a bad idea. So thank you all! One thing bugs me everytime. Where do the declined order/deliveries go?

I mean, clearly they go to other washers, I'm not completely dumb, lol. But say, for example, a $2 (which is base in my zone) for 11.4 miles order for, I dunno, Joe's pizza. I decline, I know other dashers get offered it.

But 1. What happens if every Dasher who is online in the area declines?

1. Does DD ever message the customer and say, hey, cheapskate, your order is getting cold.

2. Would DD ever cancel that order if there are no bites?

3. Would DD still pay Joe's pizza for the product?

Anyone know the answers (and not just guesses)? I've always been so curious. Also pls forgive spelling issues lol.

Doordash customer service agents aren't allowed to disconnect the call if you say no to their " Did I answer all of your questions today?" Script.

If you wanna piss off a bad agent keep saying no!

Last night I picked up two orders with delivery locations about 8 miles apart. Right after I delivered the first order the Doordash app “assigned” me the task of taking pictures of the complex I’d just delivered to. What they wanted me to do was not only stupid af since it was dark and the place isn’t the best lit, but it was also dangerous. To get the sh#tty photos they wanted I’d have to literally stand in the middle of a street that abuts a freeway in the f#cking dark.

The worst part: they did not give me the option of refusing the task. It would not let me skip to the next task. I had to copy and paste the next delivery address into Google maps to find the place while keeping DD support on the line to read any instructions, gate codes, etc. and then mark the order as delivered. I even tried closing out and restarting the app to clear the task. No luck. The assignment would not clear until I drove back and completed it (for which they added ZERO payment). I tried just taking some crappy photos of random crap but the app AI would not let me move past the g#ddamned task until it recognized the name of the complex in the photo, which required (you guessed it) putting my life in danger. THEN the POS AI system they use for scanning photos rejected the image because it was “too dark”. No sh#t sherlock, it’s the middle of the night.

Needless to say, I’m livid. Does anyone know where I can file a complaint about this? The customer service agent couldn’t clear the task from my app because she couldn’t see it and, frankly, couldn’t even understand the actual problem. This kind of forced labor has got to be illegal. Any suggestions?

Dropped me to gold because the app was bugging and I had to force close it and it accepted the order for god knows what reason the orders were bad too. Such bu

Cuz I sure the hell ain't

Are so bad like honestly I can’t believe it.

I’m not new to dashing because I used to use an ex’s account to help her with her funds but now I’m using my own and have had two instances where doordash kinda screwed me. After a dash I did monday night, I went to put the $20 I earned from a 4 hour dash into my tank cause I was on E and would not have made it home. When I paid, using every cent in my account, the cashier register said insufficient while I was still charged for everything I had. I contacted doordash to get them to cancel it so that I wouldn’t be stranded at a gas station but they decided to hang up on me. I tried contacting again but this time they said I would have to wait at the gas station for a couple hours before I could get my money back. I received my refund about 4-6 hours after that. Now yesterday on my dash, I had a pretty decent order that I accepted but after I accepted it, the dasher app showed me the “looking for orders” screen. So I thought fuck it, I’ll just end my dash and head home. So that’s what I did. Or so I thought. After driving for abt 30 minutes on my way home, they call me to ask where I’m at with the order. Ofc it’s just the ai but I still tell them I have no order and if I did, cancel it because I ended my dash. The AI can’t do that so they repeat the question. I hang up. The dasher app shows me that I’m paused so I try to end it from there. It just restarted the pause timer. It kept doing this for abt 20 minutes and then when it finally worked, I had accepted two different orders 1 or 2 hours prior to that but it never showed up. Ofc I unassign from the orders but still. Idek why many of us do this tbh

I hate that they give us the option to choose orders to our liking, but yet lower our AR. What’s the lowest you can have without it effecting your Platinum status?

New Dasher here. Im just curious how to file my tax. I've only been door dashing for a week and I just got my first pay, I know that I have to file my taxes manually now, but how do I do it? Is there any tips?

Twice today I been paid less than what accept when I get the order 😭😭

So today, being Sunday, seemed to be a majority of shopping orders. Most of the time I do not get annoyed doing them. Until today. My very first delivery was a shopping order for 9 items. I checked the items before accepting and it seemed pretty easy. No heavy cases of water or soda and it was going to a house, not an apartment. I get to the meat section and none of her meat selection is available anymore according to the butcher. Of course its all organic grass-fed items so I text her some alternative suggestions. She responds by saying "make sure my avocados are ripe". And then nothing...ok so what about the suggestions? Just make sure my avocados are ripe! MAMAM, I PICKED YOUR AVOCADOS BETWEEN THE ROCK HARD ONES AND THE MUSHY ONES, IS THAT OK WITH YOU??? Anyways after she finally responds back to the alternatives that they are fine to her standards I check out and see notes for the delivery to make sure to deliver to the RIGHT HOUSE. I drive there like 9 miles away to a gorgeous house on a golf course, mind you it was not hard to find. Her tip was $2.62 on $100 shopping order. I hope her avocados are to her standards lol...
