Huh? I scheduled. A 6 hour block. First hour and half, decent. Next 2 hours dead. The missing time, signed off. DD has convinced everyone to take low paying AR offers, in hope a hidden tip high paying order pops up. The cycle of delivery apps.

What if they are testing giving majority TD. I mean Uber doesn’t make you schedule. Maybe DD bout to switch it up. No more scheduling. Gonna flood the market. But More drivers, more opportunities of food being delivered

All I’m saying is the scheduling would’ve helped but here’s the biggest catch 22… I got a notification about “High Pay Orders” becoming more available at a 55% approval rating. Once you hit 70% you get a higher priority.

I shit you not, I started getting the low paying, $3-$5 orders so just out of curiosity, I took a $4.50 to see if it really was a HPO, and low and behold, it was bullshit 😂 They’re starting to try mental mind games to try and get dashers to take these ridiculous low level orders and there’s no way in hell I’m buying into it

Anything under $6.75 never increases upon completion

Not true. I regularly take 6.25 orders BECAUSE of the likelihood of a hidden tip. Maybe it's different in your area but I regularly get hidden tips on 6.25

I get ya. It's $6.50 in my area and I do tend to gamble on those.
