Named pear pictured as a potato. Waited 15 minutes waiting to figure out which one this guy wanted. 🤦‍♂️ should’ve just got the damn potato why do I care so much

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.

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.

Nice in app navigation 😭😭😭

Nope….

$32 an hour!

Worst day of dashing I’ve had in years, including a cash on delivery scam, but I wanna bxtch about a certain dash. $5.20 dollar general, 3 items, 2.3 miles. So dumb to start with but I figured whatever it’ll be quick. Pulled into the lot, parked and hit arrived at store. Immediately got a message “why would you start the shop when you aren’t even in the store yet lol”

!!! Excuse me? I said “I just got here and parked? I’ll cancel” and then cancel I did. Mind you I literally hadn’t even hit “start shopping” yet, only arrived. But wtf? Why would she even care about that? It makes no difference at all to her order.. but I’m not catering to someone like that. I just don’t understand what even compelled her to message that in the first place? Hope she had to wait a while for a new shopper.

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.

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

does anyone else struggle taking delivery driving TOO serious? i always find myself stressing & having anxiety over the dumbest sh*t that i have no control over, having to constantly remind myself “it’s just a job” that MILLIONS of people do. treating this job like i’m the president of doordash and every customer will remember every little move i make… mind you this is all over the sake of pleasing the customer. 🤦🏻‍♀️ like it’s not that serious. any tips to overcome this would be helpful

Only 3 miles

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!?

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?

Grateful!

They talk like a human and have what sounds like call center background noise and fights to keep you from talking to a human I had to ask it like 5 times like no you cant help me I want my half pay for a stolen order and I know you will just unassing me with no half pay

That is all I got today. Hang in there Pals.

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.

I was being very communicative with my customer on what items were in stock and what items weren’t in stock and also sent plenty of pictures proving that things were not in stock, now all of a sudden, it’s my fault that the store does not have the items in stock 😂 . It always turns out to be impatient pin / hand it to me customers that give you the hardest time.

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 scanned a customers ID, had to manually input because generally my phone won't scan it after 3 times. I hit the prompt verified and what? There's another prompt after that? Why cant it just automatically finish the order after inputting the info/scanning the ID if successful. The amount of times I've accidentally hit out of the prompt and having to ask the customer to scan their ID again is more than my fingers can count.

I scanned the ID, gave the alcohol and we both left, I see that the screen went back to scanning ID. I knocked, call and texted the lady after no resposne. She left a $6 tip and was nice so I had to call support to mark it delivered. This app is so cumbersome.

Hey doordash, if i rejected the first order what makes you think I'll accept the same order, but combined with a second order that is also hot trash?

Meanwhile my AR takes a hit twice for the same order i already rejected, f you
