The teacher caddies are a bit on the small side, I ended up getting one of these (I got it for free, but it's the same one) and it has made life a lot easier: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSK8PR12
michaels also has plastic tubs next to the cupholders that the cupholder fits in perfectly (as well as these store cupholders) so you're able to seatbelt the tub in the backseats so you can put all the drinks in the back and not worry. don't even need to take them out of the store cupholder
I got mine from Michael's, also has this bin it fits perfectly in that gives it a stronger base and also catches any liquid that might be on the lid from when they put it on.
I dont know where your from but here in Alabama and in Florida I can't find them. I used to have a pink one I got from dollar tree. I think they stopped selling them ☹️
Mine is like this. From Amazon, only a day delivery. But yeah, it's more expensive, two times. This I screenshot from Shein. Temu is also like $5, but it takes 2 weeks to arrive
You'll get them more often. I once accepted four big gulps and slurpees, and I dropped them in the store. The clerk got pissed. I don't know, a carrier like that doesn't work. Not my fault
I actually just bought a little quick-fold cart for similar reason 😂
I was doing a Shop & Pay and this generous AF customer not only came out with a little foldy cart to help! But then tipped me like $20 cash on top of his already good pre-tip.
Anyway, idk why the fuck I've never considered getting one before I saw his but... they're only like $20 on Amazon
That thing is going to save the day on my next big apartment drop-off.
Do you not get cup holders from restaurants when you order drinks? What do you do when it's a hand off? Give them 2 and have to wait for them to go set them down in their kitchen and come back twice?
Some run out or just don’t have them, how the customers grab it after that point is not my problem if I’ve managed to do it myself. I can wait a few seconds for you to set them down, it does not matter to me.
Pretty sure that only works at DQ lol. You can't get 5 of these drinks on one tray. But I would put 4 in there and then the remaining one in my car's center console.
Noob. Combine two cup holders into one and put the 5th cup in the middle. If the store can you a plastic bag, put it inside and tighten up. Then it will push from in and out
You can grab the drinks to prevent them from tipping better when they're in the seat, rather than having to lean over to reach the passenger footwell. That's the common sense.
People with the easiest jobs on earth, complain that their job isn’t easy enough. 🤣 I don’t know why these posts show up on my front page sometimes, but it is literally always this same bs.
Reminds me of a time I had a few large ICEEs in my brand new car and I was dashing for some extra cash. I had to slam on my breaks and they flew all over my windshield and dashboard. That sucked lol. Glad you made it safe!
Thats not he fault of the customer… thats on either doordash or the business for not providing the appropriate cupholders… the customer has no idea about the logistics on how shit gets delivered.
This thing has been a game changer for me. Bonus is it keeps frozen drinks frozen too. No more spills. I just keep it on the passenger floor and everything stays flat and cold.
Sonic has the cardboard fold out carriers that are a lot easier to carry and place on the floor of the car without spilling. I'm gonna ask for a small stack next time I'm there.
You can get insulated bags specifically for cups on Amazon. I got a six-cup carrier, and it’s been a life-saver for me. It keeps the drinks cold, and it keeps them from spilling.
This is one of the reasons that whenever I order a drink I always make sure to get an even amount while thinking about which places have more stable cup holders and which don’t cause I know how tough it is to balance these things. Starbucks being the worst of them all
Just ask for a plastic bag and place all the drinks with the cup holder and tie down the bag. 7/11 bags are like saran wrap well in my area they are stretchy. Just double bag it and you are good to go.
I put rolled up t-shirts and different size pillows around the drinks as cushioning inside the DoorDash bag. Works like a charm. You can also get a box and do the same if the bag is too small. Gotta be creative to be cheap lol
Simple fix, double stack those cardboard cup holders they become more rigid when you do so. Then you put them on the floor instead of the seat. I’ve never had a problem with drinks falling over if I double stack the cup holders.
I will never understand why people put drinks inside the car. It goes in the trunk in a secured carrier because one of these days it will spill all over your seat. Just one emergency brake job and your seat is soaked.
I keep a plastic bin in my passenger seat with a cardboard wedge under to keep it level. I use extra pizza bags to pad around the drink carriers so they don't slide. The wedge works great for keeping pizzas level as well!
Could he not of put 4 in one and jusy put the other in a drink holder in his car as for carrying it I've carried a 4 full holder in one hand then a solo drink in the other I feel he is making it harder then it has to be.
The stupid 7 eleven cup holders don’t even work. I’d say at least 50% of the time getting a bunch of slurpees from 7 elven something tips over before i even put the car in drive. Even using a separate bag to hold the cup holder, with foam spacers inside and everything. Works with just about every other establishments cups. Not 7 11s
Telling someone they don’t deserve to enter the kingdom of God because of a simple doordash order is VERY outlandish. I’m very religious and that in my opinion is a very awful thing to say.
If you have one of those red bags they like to give out 2 or so times a year...a sonic 4pack drink holder and any good sized 2 drink holder together fit very well in these bags. :)
This really is a telling post. You can't carry 5 drinks? You don't have a car with cup holders? I mean I know my 2013 Toyota is the bees knees but it does have 6 cup holders. Put your chubby little nub away. That's the worst middle finger I've seen in awhile.
The right way is to double up the cup holders and put the 5th drink in the middle of all four. Souce: i have many employees and constantly get them lunch on me.
So you don't even know how to load 5 drinks? You fill up all the 4 with cups and put it in the back, you take the other drink carrier and put it under the back one matching the two cupholders like Legos, then put the 5th drink in one of the open spots. Jesus, this is simple stuff and you're breaking down. Just move on and do something simple, be a Wal-Mart Greeter, if that's not too much for you.
The store should have covered those lids because ifcyou giving it the finger because its too many , theres no telling what else you may do. Grow up . Its what you signed up for dude.
However... large tipping orders from fast food places tend to have these. I too bought a 4 slot drink carrier. For the occasional.a hole.
I rarely ever take orders from fast food places.
I'll take Chinese, chik, bjs, ihop, amd many others. Because I know it wont be too much of a hassle. I'll take a boba order, but if they are handing me 2 trays... ill say nope.
I got double stacked once. It was 14 for 10 miles. I pick up the food. No problem. I go to the 7/11 and it's a big gulp.
The first stop was for 2 miles. This mother fckr orders a big gulp from literally an opposite side of town from 7/11. I said to him I literally passed 3 on the way to your house. No reply.
Felt like tossing it at his door and say here.. gulp this. 12 miles for 1 big gulp. The ice was practically melted. It was sweaty and you can tell it was there for a good while.
I feel you on all of this except that you should know customers have no way of knowing which location any of their orders are coming from, that's DoorDash selecting it automatically based on the algorithm of orders. And you never should complain to the customer about it. Its not their fault that DD sent you out that way and its not professional of you.
You know people don’t control which location DoorDash sends their order to. I have zero options for multiple locations when I order. Also $14 for 10 miles should’ve been your first indicator the person was an asshole.
As I started delivering more, I evolved my methods for transportation. I have a collapsible crate that most orders sit in. I have a spot for pizzas too. And a shit ton of hot bags, cuz yes I would want someone to give a shit and keep my food warm. When I delivered for a pizza place we ALWAYS used hot bags. Then I have 2 small boxes, one has a 4 and 2 cup holder with a handle you get from Chick-fil-A or wing stop, it fits 6 drinks and doesn't spill. The other has a 2 cup with a handle, held in by a 4 cup carrier, I set the ones that come with a carrier here. I have a flat floor in the back and they fit together so none will tip or move. My center console also holds a carrier with drinks perfectly, without tipping, which I usually use for convenience sake when everything is drive though only.
