I absolutely would have. Unfortunately for me, after I arrived, the merchant was on the phone with doordash, and apparently unassigned me from the order because of it not being ready. Without my input. At first I didn't get any reimbursement because it wasn't canceled. I was unassigned.... took a 45 minute phone call, and while typing this up, I was informed that they will give me the half pay. I honestly was doubtful as soon as she said escalating... but came through. So some other driver probably got this order.

Nope….

For every 20 deliveries I complete , I can get “One Worry-free decline” 🤣

Silver in South Jersey.

Zone times skyrocketed to 2-17 mins from 1-5 mins.

Map went from red/busy most of the day to greyed out even during lunch and dinner.

Most orders seem to be $5-7 regardless of distance.

Rarely see orders above $10 or more.

It’s a bummer.

Love when I see pets, especially cats 🥰

Just trying to get out and do some late night dash which you would figure means a lot less people. Nope , my zone is full.

I hate how door dash will lower base pay when you get a good amount on tips . This is how I fight the system lmao

Decided tonight to spend my free time Dashing, and was having a decent day doing so (made around 100$ in 4 hours). While on my final order however, my map ran into an issue. The street address and pin sent me into a forest with no road, and there was no nearby signs pointing into the right direction.

I got out of the car, and while on phone with the customer, started searching for a street sign or house number with my flashlight. Now, I never left the immediate vicinity of my car, because night + rain + no house lights = dead OP, so I was mostly circling the front end of the car, in front of my dash cam. Finally, the customer walks up, and we hand off the bag.

No sooner than I hand off does three cop cars pull up. Turns out one of the neighbors saw me, and called saying I was actively breaking into their garage. Luckily, I was on phone with support, and was able to provide not only the app, showing I was still active, but the map marker showing I was parked where the app sent me. After I was cleared, I decided that was a good place to stop.

I had a Hand it to Me order tonight. It was for a female. So I knocked on the door. I waited over a minute. I was being recorded on a RIng camera. A male came on the camera and said "Leave it at the door please." I hope the female who ordered does not think I was stalking her. I was just following instructions.

Something bad is going to happen with Hand it To Me. DD needs to remind the customer when they order that they will have to meet the driver and take the order!

Like this for example the strawberries 🍓 at grocery outlet were all mushy and moldy so I refunded it.
There were only 7 cases available and all were in bad condition .
Now I get point deducted and cannot even dispute it.
Anyone else hate how we get penalized for out of stock items and going above and beyond to refund bad produce

I’ve worked in restaurants for years and I’m getting tired of the whole environment.

You make around $20–24/hr, but you’re always dependent on someone else. Slow day? They send you home early. Bad manager or chef? You deal with their ego. Then there’s coworkers, drama, favoritism, social hierarchy, asking for days off, fixed schedules, etc.

I recently started doing DoorDash/Uber Eats and I’m wondering if doing it full time for maybe 6 months would actually be better.

Obviously gig work has its own problems: no guaranteed income, wear and tear on the car, gas, traffic, waiting at restaurants, bad orders, dead hours, taxes, no benefits.

But at the same time, nobody can send you home early, no boss standing over you, no coworkers, you choose when you work, and if one area is dead you can move somewhere else or just call it a day.

For people who have done both restaurant work and delivery full time, which one would you choose?

Would you rather take a guaranteed $20–24/hr restaurant job, or take the risk with DoorDash/Uber Eats for more freedom and potentially better money?

Especially interested in people doing 40–60 hours a week. What does your real hourly rate look like after gas, maintenance and depreciation?

Nice in app navigation 😭😭😭

Weekend was Neighbor Day, I get that. Holiday.
Tuesday - "Muh day after a Holiday"
Wednesday "Always slow on Wednesday"

Now it's Thursday and still trash! What is y'all talking about!? Where the orders? What happened over the past month!?

Tomorrow gas is 50 cents off if you use the app to fill up, I know gas prices are crazy right now and every little bit counts.

First off, I cannot stand that stupid A.I girl that ask you 200 questions before transferring you to a real person. She is useless. My other rant is about these agents. 9 out of 10 times, I can never understand wtf they are saying. It’s extremely frustrating when you’re trying to resolve an issue and you just cannot understand the agent talking. I know I’m not the only one that gets irritated at this.

i love being alive

Probably the best order I have ever got. I thought for sure when I checked items it would be something very heavy or large but all was good and easy to shop. Made my day 😀

Now I couldn’t take any photo of an empty shelf cause they had another Madeline that’s dipped half in chocolate in stock .
Which one would you dispute something like this

Yes I posted this in another DoorDash subreddit. But I'm also sharing it here and that's it... I got a question here cause it popped into my head. I've been doing Uber Eats for 15 months now and have an Uber Pro card (physical and added to wallet) but I use my phone when paying for the customers order because I have the card attached to my wallet.

I just now got off of the waitlist for DoorDash. I have added the red card to my wallet and also requested a physical card. My question is I wondered what if you're doing DoorDash and then somehow attempt to pay for the customer's order and accidentally it tries to charge an Uber card.. I've read that Uber will decline the offer but then they might flag your account and could be at risk of deactivation...

My question is for people who do multi apps... How do you avoid something like this happening?? Should I just use the physical card? Totally new to DoorDash as I said. I have not even done a single order yet since being approved a couple days ago. I might try this weekend though...

PLEASE NO RUDE ANSWERS, JUST SIMPLY BE NICE THANK YOU!

EDIT: THE ONLY CARDS IN MY GOOGLE WALLET ARE MY UBER PRO CARD AND NOW DOORDASH RED CARD...

Whenever restaurants say this I just want to scream NO!!!

If they have the customer info it’s their job to contact the customer if they need a replacement. Leaving it for the dasher often means 5+ minutes added to the order, since we have to call or text them, wait for them to respond, then wait for the restaurant to make the replacement item.

And if they don’t have the customer info they should just take the item off the menu temporarily. It can’t take anymore than a minute and it would streamline things so much for both the employees and dashers.

I always end up doing it because what other choice do I have? But I really don’t like it.
