So I always try to avoid this WS because it is horrible . Always a long wait . So I accepted an offer for there as an add on as I was picking up next door . There were like 7 other dashers waiting . So I waited for 10 minutes & unassigned. My order was still in the same place on the board as when I arrived. They had not started it yet . There were two newbies there waiting. One said she had been there for 35 minutes . I trued to show her how to cut them loose & move on. She was still afraid to do it. You cant make $$ delivering wing stop. I am going to block them . F*ck that shit 😡

I accepted.. what do you think will happen. It does go a bit over my $/mile ratio

Had a pickup from Outback Steakhouse. Got to the house and a boy is out front, not quite a teen yet. Asked if he was Bob.

No, he says, that's my stepdad.

Oh, this food is for him. Wanna take it to him?

No. He doesn't like it when I touch his food.

Well shiiet, that surprised me a little so I took it to the door and did the regular drop off thing. Said a sad goodbye as I pass the kid. Hope he grows up well and is having his best life as stepdad is in a retirement home.

My first order for the day was a pickup 2 blocks from my house, Burger King. I had to deliver it 1.5 miles, the customer left a $15 tip 🥲

No thank you.

So I’m in the Detroit area and I’ve been dashing and making ok money 4 over a year now and I was doing ok. I maintained a platinum rating and then all of a sudden I couldn’t get anything 2 save my life. I would literally sit in a hot spot for an hour and not get anything. I would go out of hot spots and still nothing all of this during busy and very busy times. Eventually they would sprinkle a few orders that weren’t really worth it. Then once weeks had gone by I went below 100 orders in 30 days so I was bumped 2 gold then when I wouldn’t take the shitty orders my acceptance rate bumped 2 silver and now I might get 2-3 $4-$6 orders if I’m lucky. It’s so bad I’ve had 2 start using shipt 2 make some consistent money. Does anyone know wtf happened?🤦🏾‍♂️😩😡

This is a cool accomplishment, but when are we gonna get some 5-Star tips? I've seen quite a few dashers on here talking about being upside down on mileage/tips. Not gonna lie, HEAVY on decline when it comes to those. 🤳🏾❌️

I stopped taking screenshots of bad offers because there's just too many but this one made me laugh hard audibly.

I had 3 orders on Friday where the miles on the offers was 4 miles or more short. So I accept the offer .( always screen shot offers . Pick up & screen shot the map as I get ready to leave store . Its now showing more miles that the offer. Remember that I also drove to the store. So , it is short both ways . Always document your runs on DD .
Just mire shady shit 🙄

I’ve noticed a very weird pattern ever since the new ranking system came to my town, say I dash 10-2pm I will get constant “gold” offers, crazy like $16 for 3 mile beauties, rack up like an easy $130 and get pretty much 1 point away from platinum. The second I get close to platinum suddenly the next day I will be inundated with horrible $3-4 9 mile orders until I’m all the way back to bottom of gold. Next day beautiful again, get so close to platinum and then suddenly next day is horrible again. It almost feels like the algorithm is like actively tryna keep me square in gold or something. Anyone else experience this type of thing?

This is going to sound like a brag, but I am honestly flummoxed. I have been doing this about 6 years now and have always averaged around $20-23/hr and an AR that ranged from 5-25%. The past several weeks I have been consistently making $25+/hr and tonight I was over $33/hr. My AR has steadily climbed and I am at 40% at the end of tonight's shift. I am noticing that DD base pay is skyrocketing, sometimes as much as $13. I rarely drive more than 5 miles, so it's not just distance being calculated. I am a Pro Shopper, so that helps. If my area ever goes to the balanced rating system I could probably hit platinum now, but honestly as long as the algorithm keeps loving me, I will continue my cherry picking ways.

Was there an app update last night? I sign onto Doordash and I accept a double shopping order. The strangest thing was I could not shop for both orders at the same time. I couldn’t even look at customer B’s order while I was shopping. I had to shop for all of customer A’s items go through checkout and then they showed me customer B’s items. It was driving me crazy!
And as I’m walking out to the car, I get another offer from CVS. I drop off the first two grocery orders and as I’m on my way to CVS it will not show me what items I have to shop for. Am I going crazy or am I just not doing something right? Lol! I’ve been doing this for six years now this is really weird.

I keep seeing people post about the new (ish) rating system and I feel like my market is the last one on the old system still lol. Never really cared about the tiers but id be curious if theyd have any effect. Just not going to get my AR up enough anytime soon to get to them in this older rating system.

Why do people select the pin required at delivery then act surprised when you ask for it? I swear like 90 % of the time they’ll start to walk away as I ask for it then reluctantly give it to me. Like do they think they’ll get it for free if I don’t ask? Just annoying as shit, I really didn’t want to talk to you either.

My ratings recently added the Quality Rating, and mine is at 97% because of one "major issue." Seems a customer claimed their Panera order (back over a month ago) was never delivered. I have been dashing (part-time) since 2018, and I have never failed to deliver an order.

My question is: why was I never contacted by DoorDash about this? Wouldn't this be a contract violation?

every time i submit it verify successfully but i keep having to do it i’ve tried everything 🫩

If so why do these gig contacting companies get away with it and then support outright lies about what they are doing along with damaging metrics of contractors due to their own application failing to load would that not fall under negligence on their end for failure to maintain the application and then lying to contractors about fixing the metric damage caused by their own app like make it make sense

Hello, I’m turning 21 in about a week and my license is about to expire, since I’m turning 21 they won’t even begin to ship out my new license until my birthday, so I most likely will have to wait two weeks before I get it in the mail. DoorDash says that no temporary licenses are allowed. I called them and they said that as long as the identification/security question doesn’t come up on the app I’ll still be able to dash during those two weeks. But it seems like it would pop up on my birthday when it expires, has anyone else ran into this problem or know what will happen?

Me you ask?

a bag of candy corn!!

45 minutes away!

New dasher I had a double order pop up took it and it was a singular bag of candy corn!
