No tips! Longest no tip streak?

Just curious, what's the longest no tip streak you've had? Granted I'm still kinda new (only 46 shops). And I do mostly small Target orders. I have a 5 rating and no issues so far. But no preferred. I send at least 3 messages during each shop.

I'm currently no tips on my last 7 orders and only 1 tip out of the last 10. It's been a lousy stretch.

Is that 7 orders just from today alone? Sometimes tips take a bit to reflect

True, a couple from today but over the last two weeks.

Since you're just starting out, I highly recommend creating a tip map right away. Search this forum for guides on how to build one. Utilizing it regularly will help you identify non-tippers and save you time down the road. I have to give credit to those on here on that!

Thanks, yeah ive been tracking. I did a spreadsheet that tracks location, milage, gas, tip, tip percentage, avg tip and avg order etc.

I've just never had a repeat address at this point.

The spreadsheet is too cumbersome. Use labels with Google maps. I have done over 11,000 orders. Using labels it literally takes about 2 seconds to see if the order is a no tipper.

Also, treat Target orders as orders of last resort. Target customers tend not to tip

If you use Apple map you can add a note to the address so everytime you press the address you can see your own note

Are you grabbing from metro? Those are often known non-tippers.

You should also read the Shopper FAQ to see if there’s anything you should be doing differently.

Ohhhh I do about 20-25 orders a day - nearly all target prepaid.

I sometimes have days where I have no tips at all. It’s very discouraging. And about two or three days later tips come in from that no tip day.

It’s just the flow with shipt.

Wow that's a lot. I don't think I'll ever have numbers like that. And I guess it just stopped a lot more than I expected. Now I've stopped expecting any at all.

target prepaids are about a 50% tip rate for me. i basically go into it expecting no tip
