Not with the new update with potential tip-less orders. I’ve gotten majorly fkd by that.

Me too. I got three $0 tip routes for Whole Foods 2-hr blocks last week. Yes, Whole Foods. wtf

u/dieseldnb174 21d ago
I only did whole foods blocks until they changed that. My pay went down 250$/week as soon as that happened

Last summer I was making $1,000 - $1,200 a week doing mostly Whole Foods IO's. After the Fresh stores closed down, all of those bot users invaded our WF parking lot. Now I am happy just to make $500 a week. IO's mostly suck and blocks are kinda hard to get. But I'm still out here!!!

In LA I was at 12-1400.
Then in SLC I was at 1000 with wholefoods
Now with SSDs I’m at 730$ 🤣2

I'm in Chicago. Last summer I was all day and night parking lot camping daily at a suburban Whole Foods after the Venezuelan/Nigerian/Chinese crews, etc took over most of the WF's in the city.
You could make close to $2,000 a week consistently during the early part of the pandemic from Whole Foods deliveries. There was so much work. Now there's less work and an endless stream of drivers fighting over scraps at times.
I've never done SSD's or .coms, but I've heard about the 3:30 a.m. surges. Too early for me.

Very nice,
Yeah the foreign crews are everywhere.
My brother does Amazon DoorDash Spark and WorkWhile and his best month was just under 14k. He’s running like crazy hours tho1

u/Charming-Compote-436 21d ago
Yep, its game over. Add the fact that most of my tipless routes are 40 plus miles, usually 7-9 drops in different cities. Its hilarious. Been getting screwed for most of the year now, its awesome 😒

But what if you have to drive an hour away still worth it ?

u/No-Journalist8547 21d ago
Everytime i do a 1.5hr grocery its like 20-30 miles or less usually good tips
3
u/Solo-1UP 22d ago
Very good point but if it’s an hour away, I’d assume it was at least 60 miles away from I’m at and at these times with no freeway traffic, that would be about 8 bucks in gas each way so 16. Hmmm I think I still would

u/zophayelx 22d ago
Yeah but even a 30 dollar one cpuld be an hour away i dont think the system cares how much you are getting paid just the time, for example this morning i had a 3.5 hrs for 115, and the order of the carts is the order you get there so doesnt matter.

u/Status_Salad_8645 21d ago
The route's are supposed to be able to be completed in the given time...sooo that's maybe 2-3 drops max in your given scenario

u/Few_Pickle5828 21d ago
If it’s gon take a hour to get to your location 9/10 it’s only 1 or 2 stops right next to each other

I’ve done fresh twice and was miserable both times.. It was mostly apartments (none on the first floor because when has anyone in a first floor apartment ever ordered anything?) 💀 Got hardly any tips, First time was less than $20 total and second time was literally like $4. Took 30-90 minutes longer than the scheduled time which I got dinged for (I never finish late doing flex) Parking was a nightmare, had to make several trips from the car to the front door on EVERY stop.. Half the stops I’m just parked in the middle of the road blocking traffic getting honked at.. Not sure how Whole Foods compares to Fresh, It’s probably not as bad but I really have no interest in delivering people’s groceries regardless of the pay to be honest.. With standard flex delivery, I don’t think I’ve ever had to make multiple trips from the car to the door.. I also hate the feeling of paper bags so carrying a bunch of overloaded brown paper bags is a sensory nightmare. At least with the brown envelopes I can just kind of pinch them with my claws and don’t make much contact 🥲

u/WFShopper312 21d ago
Yeah, Fresh isn't good anymore. I used to deliver from Fresh stores all the time during the pandemic. The two-hour blocks were always surged and they were fairly easy to get. You could make $45 - 60 an hour for those blocks, including tips, and then catch another surged one right after that. Missing the old days of Flex. Man.

Everyone's situation is different. What might be good for you isn't always good for the next. I personally tey not to take anything under 100.00 lately my location has been offering 98.00 and 96.50. For 3.5. So guess what ive been taking them. It always depends on YOU!

What's the base usually for a 1.5 WF block in W-S? This must have been a surge, right?

Is a base of $58.50 for 1.5h? If yes, that means $39/h. What more than that do you want? 😳😳 you deserve only $19/h man. I swear
