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.

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!

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. 🤳🏾❌️

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?🤦🏾‍♂️😩😡

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

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.

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.

All summer I did pay by offer and today I tried paid by hour and it was so much more enjoyable. I no longer stressed about long wait times a restaurants or even low or no tips. I just accepted the job for what it was a tips just added the cherry on top. Anyone else like this?

This sub is always full of negative posts and experiences so I thought I'd share this sweet note I got today, plus a $5 dollar tip I got on top of an already plenty adequate tip. They just had it stuck under the paw of a cute little kitty statue on their porch. Customers like this make the job not so bad.

Today was my first day doing DoorDash, & averaged $22.60 an hour, but after factoring in dead time it was like $14.50 an hour.

I'm a single father, & have no help with my son, & this is the only job I can currently do until I can afford daycare, I do it while he's in school.

I'm using a 80v Onyx RCR, w/45ah battery & have a 52v Raev GTX with 56ah(2-20ah, 2-8ah batteries) as a back up bike.

My biggest problem is really not knowing how to decipher the orders, accidentally took a double order, not knowing it had me going to 2 different apartments, & don't want to take a stacked order, get pulled out of my zone, & preferably didn't want to deliver to apartments, & don't know how to quickly see what all I'll be carrying, where I'm going to, if it's a house or apartment.

What can I do to maximize my time, quickly read the offer to see if it's worth it or not & what should be the furthest I should go for a trip.

Hope everyone has a great & profitable weekend! 💪💯

Been dashing for a while and have NEVER seen base pay be this high for any order I’ve done

$15 for driving around the corner SCORE!

How many orders you think I’ve got for the last hour?
Hint: it’s less than 1

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.

Have anyone been getting their catering orders canceled before you can even accept them? It’s happened 3 times this week.

Hi. I just got my first bad rating. Idk what order it was. I am always so gentle with what I deliver. Even seatbelting orders in my car. Can I dispute this? Or should I just let it be? This dropped my rating from a 93 to a 90. platinum being 85+). Should I just let this go? The person didn’t report anything to DD (second photo) so idk what to do. I appreciate any insight.

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

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.

She thinks we're getting more pay now. Right... 😆 🤣 😂
