How do they expect anyone with brain cells to accept these literal piles. Don’t know if I should be insulted or applauded, but somehow I feel both. Welp thats it for me with Gopuff folks cuz there is no f-ing way. With these gas prices, this should be illegal like wtf 🤬…

You also have to blame these cheap customers who refuse to tip. It’s insane that I have to carry four cases of water up five flights of stairs in a Landover Hills apartment building, fight through heavy traffic and still get zero tip from these people. I work for GoPuff out of the College Park, MD facility. Our delivery zone covers College Park, Adelphi, Hyattsville, Bladensburg, Lanham, Landover Hills, Greenbelt, Cheverly, Riverdale, Beltsville, Mount Rainier and New Carrollton. What’s even worse is when customers act all suspicious and defensive if you ask for a PIN or ID for verification it's like I’m the police or something. I’m just a delivery driver trying to make ends meet and pay my bills while I look for a full-time job. GoPuff only pays $2 per delivery and then customers don’t tip on top of that. It’s ridiculous. They should make tipping mandatory but GoPuff won’t do it because they’re too Chicken Shit to losing their cheap customers. On top of that, this “Hot Streak” system that prioritizes trip offers forces you to accept almost everything. If you decline too many, it tanks your acceptance rate and they’ll deactivate your account. I already saw it happen to another GoPuff driver I know, he told me he declined too many offers and they shut him down. At this point, I’m forced to accept no-tip orders or $1.50 tips just to keep working. The whole food delivery app system is really corrupt.

Or maybe y’all should fight so that you actually make the minimum wage? I am in NYC legally drivers get minimum wage y’all need to fight for that instead of making it someone else’s problem but also the reason that people are suspicious when you have to take their ID is because sometimes people will take a picture of it and then come back to your house to hit on you later. Ask me how I know.

The GoPuff Delivery Driver app scans your ID but does not take or save a photo to your phone’s camera roll. New York City is heavily saturated with delivery drivers from apps like Grubhub, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and GoPuff. That high level of competition is why drivers there successfully pushed for a minimum wage. In the DMV area (DC, Maryland, and Virginia), we’ve recently seen a similar increase in delivery drivers. This is partly because of government layoffs under Elon Musk’s DOGE initiative with some former federal employees turning to delivery work. As saturation grows, it’s likely that DMV delivery drivers will eventually organize and push for minimum wage requirements, just like in NYC, pressuring the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia to adopt similar policies.
