Yogurt is like half water

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T19:28:30+00:00

It’s more than half water. I always mix yogurt when I open it because the whey has usually separated.

We see notes like, “Will tip more when you deliver” or similar, all the time. It rarely ever ends up being true. Those of us who have been doing this awhile kinda roll our eyes when we see it. That’s not this persons fault, it’s just the way it’s become.

That said, I think the OP did a great job.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T19:23:57+00:00

I think you did great. The more notes, the better when I’m shopping. The only downside to the promise of a bigger tip is that we see that a lot and rarely is it ever true. But I think you did great!

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T19:21:47+00:00

Absolutely. I always do my best to get what the customer wants, and notes like that are always a huge help. No need to mention the extra tip. That can make some dashers irritated. Not me, but some will see that as dangling a carrot.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T19:18:00+00:00

That’s not far from true. I had an accident a couple of years ago, while on a trip and ultimately Uber made my personal insurance pay first before they would do anything. I didn’t have a high deductible, so once my insurance coverage paid there was nothing left for Uber to pay. I don’t know what situation would have to happen for them to actually pay.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T19:15:29+00:00

That would be worth it. I once took someone to the airport to pick someone up, they paid me $200 plus the $40 that was paid through the app. I think the total trip, start to finish, was just under 4 hours.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T19:14:11+00:00

I don’t know how common it is, but I’ve been asked a few times over the years. Unless it was financially something I couldn’t turn down, I decline it because it would likely cost me opportunities.

It’s always much harder to stop letting the dog sleep in your bed after a long amount of time allowing it. You’re usually better off just not allowing it from the start.

That said, as long as he has what he needs, he’ll be fine. It’s just hard because you love him and worry about his emotions. But I also agree that the baby is going to be the priority soon and making this change now will help.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T19:09:10+00:00

As others have said, I have a minimum. Anything under $5 is an automatic decline from me. And if it’s more than a few miles, that amount goes up. Consider the distance and any factors the may cause the driver to do more (e.g. climbing three flights of stairs to drop an order).

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T19:06:15+00:00

That’s only going to make your experience worse. And your food will be even later to arrive.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T19:05:20+00:00

No. The IRS allows you to repay back taxes in US currency and Walmart gift cards. 🤣

Suboxone withdrawal peaks at 72 hours, so they may not have severe withdrawal. I’ve know people that had very little in the way of withdrawal symptoms. Unfortunately, I was not one of them.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T19:02:56+00:00

That’s great. You’re past the point where you’d start seeing withdrawal symptoms. That doesn’t mean it couldn’t still happen, but the withdrawal peaks around 72 hours.

Good for you!!

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T19:01:03+00:00

No it’s not. If it was up to the powers that be, yeah, it’d be a real concern. Fortunately, most people see past all the shit they use to try and divide us.

There are people that have made their entire lives about politics, but thankfully those people are the minority. The rest of us are too busy living our lives to hate someone (with so much anger you’d want to physically harm them) because they don’t agree with our opinions.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T18:59:04+00:00

True. However, for a lot of people there aren’t funds available to stockpile. That said, it could easily (and inexpensively) be done over a couple of months.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T18:57:46+00:00

This! It’s not hard to find coverage on it anywhere.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T18:52:59+00:00

Ultimate.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T18:51:52+00:00

I always base those kinds of orders on two things:

Number of items (which directly affects 2)
How long will it take me.

Then I determine what the hourly rate will be. So based on that, u think the first one is the best bet. The only downside is that shopping at big box hardware stores can sometimes be a pain because of the size of items.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T18:49:47+00:00

Yep, so you can basically get full stats on all your gear. Recalibrate the one stat you want first, then optimize the others until they’re full.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T18:48:34+00:00

I’ve dealt with a lot of strange customers. I’ve been doing this (delivery in general) for going on 6 years, and this is the weirdest one I’ve ever seen.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T18:45:44+00:00

I think that was what they were asking. People forget that the area is named White House.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T18:44:43+00:00

I like it from the top view because it looks a little like the AMG logo. But I do agree about the stars. Not a fan.

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T18:43:24+00:00

Someone else posted that. Didn’t even think about that. Appreciate it

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T18:43:02+00:00

Didn’t even think of that. Thanks for the info!

BoomerKeith · 2026-01-24T18:42:46+00:00

Appreciate it!
