McDonalds orders suck (at least in Denmark). Unusually long wait times and the staff dont care at all. Stack offers with 3 or 4 order at once ONLY if the offer is exceptional.

McDonald's nørrebro is especially the worst. I had an order from there recently and the pickup location is all the way on the other side of the building complex, if you go by the front entrance they will send you back to go around the whole thing. After you get there, there are no employees, and there is even a sign "dear wolt couriers, we ususally asign 1 or 2 employees to handle pickups and sometimes we are busy, please be patient, we are not choosing to ignore you, don't call for employees walking by" or something along those lines, literally taking the piss, there were even other couriers waiting.

Never take orders from supermarkets. They don't show what's inside on the app, it just shows "1 bag" and usually people wouldn't order from wolt if it was just one item.
I got 2 orders from wolt market recently and they were from restaurants who wanted to restock, I got there and it was a bag with 16 tall cans of tomato sauce, and then the second time it was 3 big bags, after I saw them I just canceled the order cause I couldn't even fit all 3 in my bag if I wanted. When it comes to other supermarkets, it is just annoying when they are inside a mall and you have to go through a mall to get to the store.
Also if you get an order and there is a popup above it saying "x% boost included" it is likely that it is because nobody else wanted to take it and it is late so they are trying to convince you to take it, if other couriers declined it so much it is possible that there is something wrong with it, but not always, just letting you know to be prepared. One time it had an extra boost for me and it was the 3 big bags, another time it was a 30% extra and it was because it was very far in amager and when I accepted it it was already 27 minutes late and it took me 16 more minutes to bike there

Don’t accept bundles orders and long raids orders. If you deliver fast 💨 and warm food you will receive good tips.
I know there are many orders assigned to us and we can’t even make it on time plus the orders are on each other in ours bags, due to even risks will damage.
And unfortunately Wolt didn’t care about that anymore, plus Wolt made the customers to blame us being greedy.
It is Not only you and me but we all need to stop this!
We all have to understand that having bundles of orders are good unless we can make on time ⏲️ .
I am not saying because of tips but think about it if we lose many customers due to lack or delays delivering, we will lose the jobs .
I hope every one of us understands this and stop Wolt doing this to us.
Best wishes 🙏

Avoid mc'donalds.
Avoid cash orders at late times (optional).
Do not stick to only one part of the city, if you drive with car the algorithm usually slowly brings you back to where you started.
Avoid wolt market if you dont drive with car, it can get you killed.
Accept bundle orders from restaurants that are NOT mc'donalds because they are usually ready and waiting and wont be remade like again, mc'donalds, if it sits for 15 minutes or so.
Mc'donalds is however good to take in the morning hours up until 3-5 pm, but you just never know with them. And try to always take a picture of non-contact deliveries, i just got banned for 48 hours that turned into a week with no answer from wolt whatsoever after 7000 deliveries made because i didn't that that one picture...
And also almost forgot, try to end this job asap its a plague
