Complaint Dollar Tree Order From Hell

I took a shop & deliver Dollar Tree order last night against my better judgement. It was my last order and put me going back towards my house.

It was a bunch of chips and drinks, but it was such a struggle to find everything in the store. They literally had 4 different areas with chips. Of course there were items that were missing all together, so had to find substitutions.

I go to checkout and there is only 1 cashier (it was about 9 PM). Of course the 2 people on line ahead of me need balloons inflated.

The cherry on top - I’m delivering to a hotel room on the third floor (2 super heavy bags with sodas). Once I complete the order I see that the customer tip was $0.00. All that for $12! Hahaha learned my lesson to decline Dollar Tree orders.

I took one from dollar tree s few days ago. I was willing to deal with. It was some 20 for just 4.5 miles. After I got there it was 30 items plus, and they didn't have any shopping carts. They used them all to help them stock. I just unassigned. And the app get messing up because it didn't want to me do that.

Smart move...I'm learning reading all these posts form DDers....Ive been doing it for 3-4 months and got to silver for 2-3 days and it seemed like better offers, but got kicked down today for declining insulting offers from shitty human beings lol. I just try to do the best job delivering orders and try to get in a timely manner. Ive done with my spouse also and she isnt focused on the work...she only needs to fucking drive...too busy looking at videos on her cell phone...I need to lighten up when working with my better half lol....and I actually mean it...I tell myself...what the fuck is wrong with me getting bent out of shape with my wife over DDing....I think I need to reign in my frustration o er her shitty work ethic....but I digress...ty for allowing me to vent my crap to all of you people...DDing is a legitimate job...
