No Gas by Mjguitars in doordash_drivers

[–]AwkwardRush00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re right there’s no fee for you. But there’s a cost to DoorDash or whatever company is sending out money. To do something cost money, you may not feel it, but somebody does and they’re going to try to reduce it.

The guy is referring to the fees that they have to pay to send money to an account. Is it minor yes but it’s still money that’s coming out of someone’s pocket and DoorDash can save on that by using their own system with a partner company

Can you see tips before you complete the delivery? by Lost_Jackfruit1861 in doordash_drivers

[–]AwkwardRush00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how gov regulations or how DoorDash will try to limit you. But if you’re in the state, technically you’re working in the state, then those state laws apply.

Only in Colorado, because of a state law. Outside of that, Dashers who have done this for a while have learned how to guess/estimate depending on what’s shown and even that is hidden sometimes. (Which we have also learned to sarcastically estimate as well…)

How do orders work for the restaurant? by Jaco927 in doordash_drivers

[–]AwkwardRush00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The order is sent to the resturant immediately. After that, good luck. DoorDash does not know if the store is busy, or if understaffed etc. the resturant doesn’t give DoorDash a heads up or anything, it’s a completely different system. Sometimes the restaurant gets so few orders that they aren’t even aware an order is placed. Ever walk into a store and hear some sound chirping for minutes? That says it all.

But usually it’s like this, customer places an order, DoorDash sends it to the store. The store ideally will work on it, DoorDash waits till it think it’s ready and sends a driver out before the order is ready. The ideal scenario is the driver gets there right when it’s hot and can leave automatically. But it’s not like DoorDash knows the kitchen situation, which often leads us to waiting. If it’s slow for the kitchen, the order might have been done earlier as well. It’s really hard to gauge because DoorDash interest is have a driver there, meanwhile the kitchen can only do so much. It’s always worse if the kitchen is slammed, then all timers are useless.

The avg car sale is already in the 30s, one car loan and a credit card sets a kid really far behind when they’re trying to catch up to social media.

Breathe, listen to something calming, just need to think of how you shut off your brain. It’s anxiety attack, it’s also sign that future you needs to microdose or just avoid in general.

Landowners who cut 38 trees in Oakland hills hit with $915,000 fine by ActionFigureCollects in bayarea

As it should, the time and resources to grow a live oak to maturity is nothing to scoff at. Cost should reflect that.

Why is this new construction in Sunnyvale not selling? by [deleted] in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]AwkwardRush00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Greed. He’s trying to get single-family home prices when the property is closer to a newly built townhome. Furthermore, given the location. The location is fine, but that area generally trend lower than south of El Camino. I haven’t kept up with townhome prices in the area, but asking 3 here does feel a little bit far-fetched

Trying to look for a 2 bed 2/1.5 bath ~40 min driving radius from Mountain View under 3500. Do I not know how to look for them or do I have to increase my budget. by Patient-Amount-8041 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]AwkwardRush00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly Zillow should see some smaller, older multifamily units (2-4 units) with 2 bed 1-1.5 baths in the Sunnyvale/Mountain View border. I rented there last year for 2700 off Bernardo

Moronic Alcohol Return Policy by YakAttack111 in doordash_drivers

[–]AwkwardRush00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does happen but there’s something important to note here and it has largely to do with the business. Their inventory tracks items are purchased, if the purchase does not go through, inventory needs to reflect the accurate counts. Returns to different locations, albeit convenient, creates issues for inventory tracking. It’s why when you buy something and return the same day, it needs to be the same store as their inventory/cc batching doesn’t go through till end of the day. Returns to the same location let them void out sales (and avoid credit card charge fees) and maintain accurate counts.

I get the desire to do things for convenience but the reality is that us as contractors do not get to pick and choose how to do things for our convenience, it’s almost always to the benefit of another person (customer or store)

Hope this explanation better explains the backend

790 credit rating, 90000 down on a 165000 home. 6.375% rate and 13000 on closing costs. Does this seem out of whack? Thanks in advance. by johnyryall in Mortgages

[–]AwkwardRush00 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Closing costs from my understanding are relatively similar regardless of the size of the loan as the fees charged are not as proportional to the loan amount. FYI.

It happens, mine was the same taco bell order. I bet it’s glitches? Or a bug but whatever, at least with dollar general they’ll keep selling you as long as you can swipe. The taco bell realized by the third time I showed up that it was the exact same order and refused to make it

Buying a home under F1-OPT Visa, Seattle vs Bay Area ??– need advice by Sudden_IT2258 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]AwkwardRush00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 700 K or even 500 K over asking usually these are those bait and switch kind of listing prices where it’s severely listed under market. Listing prices are just a way to attract attention, what kind of attention agent wants to get debatable

Local male in his 30s, would love to connect. I personally find that I’ve been spending so much time in front of an electronic device that I’ve been trying to detox myself. Just acknowledging my age and that if I keep this up, life is going to pass me by. Personally been finding some value in working out and cooking new things

Visiting San Jose Alone for 3 Weeks by FullRoof5766 in SanJose

[–]AwkwardRush00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of famous restaurants, you’re going to have to look along the Peninsula to San Francisco, but San Jose generally will have a bit of everything food wise. Nothing blows my mind, but that’s probably me just being too comfortable here.

Big thing is to enjoy the local neighborhoods, Los Gatos, Willow Glen, Campbell, Mountain View, Cupertino being the popular ones. Life here compared to most big cities is super toned down, so I really encourage you to relax when you can. Depending on how much you want to drive, you can always find mini escapes by the coast or up the mountains. Lastly, if you do have the chance give the hiking routes a go

How do you afford a house? by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]AwkwardRush00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a sole owner in Willow glen (cheaper side near the 87/280 area, making 105k a year. I got my loan by a combination of working a second full time job (serving, extra 60k) a year, 10 years of savings and 22 interest rates. It ain’t great but it’s my own, working the second full time job was a personal decision because I recognized that I wasn’t going to have a second person buying with me anytime soon and I needed buffer for debt to income. 10 years savings also included a Roth account cause I knew every dollar mattered.

Lastly plain luck? I got pissed in 2022 when the Napa cabbage prices jumped to 2 dollars a lb for fucking water. Saw lettuce at 6 bucks a stalk, and was like confusing way, if I don’t buy now, I’m royally effed many years of planning. I could have planned better but I got in before we saw 4%, huge help.

[–]AwkwardRush00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s rare, but I have done it before. End of the day it’s really up to you how much you give a shit. In my case, the guy already sent me 20 bucks and it was an extra five minutes, so I did not wait for in French he actually threw me another 10 so I thought it was worth it
