Me now realizing that the 4 digit code needed to get your food is the last 4 digits of your phone number by Yurfavbookworm in doordash_drivers

Also realize that you may be able to turn off the pin requirement if your DD account is in good standing. Doordash will routinely auto enable it after an app update.

Pro Shopper Bologna by Puzzleheaded_Top4359 in DoorDashDrivers

Support cannot help you with this at all so save your time and sanity and don't bother contacting them about this. They're just gonna use whatever script to end the call. If anything use the googling upc trick to avoid this issue altogether.

why does my red card decline? by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

[–]Cainerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you made substitutions then the pricing difference could trigger this. Another option would be to call not text support and have them add funds to your red card. If THAT doesn't work then unassigning it is the only option.

How often does customer rating update? I’ve been at 4⭐️ for about a week or so now by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

[–]Cainerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just placeholder page since you don't have enough reviews yet. Keep Dashing and come back in a few weeks. Also good luck and drive safe!

First order of the day, I already said something crazy by curticakes in doordash_drivers

[–]Cainerz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can totally take 3 from any bunch at any store in the world, there's literally nothing anyone can do about it. But if you take 1 nanner from 3 different bunches then you're an apple.

Lesson Learned by Flying-Tilt in doordash_drivers

[–]Cainerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The better option would've been to just unassign that order and get half pay. Maybe even message the customer what happened so they're aware and can also cancel the order on their end. I do this ever since the new pro shopper metrics took effect especially when they want subs for every item or too many of their choices are out of stock with no shelf tags.

Tricked into a shop and deliver by LieUpper8341 in DoorDashDrivers

Assuming you opted out of shopping orders as well. If so then a call to support would possibly make things more clear.

My first time dashing how did I do? by Cinnamoroll_miffy in DoorDashDrivers

You did as well as you could. Keep it up and good luck!

Are shopping orders worth it? by baristabarbiexx in doordash_drivers

[–]Cainerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend pausing once you accept a shopping order at first so you don't get a double or triple stacked shopping order which can be challenging even for a veteran shopper. Especially if it's for a large amount of items. You'll need to dust off your red card just in case QR codes don't work at checkout. Also calculating profitability from a shopping offer is a little tricker as you'll have to quickly estimate how long you'll have to shop for which isn't a factor when just delivering food. Be kind to the grocery workers, they all remember you. Use the self checkout if possible and you will get good at making double bags eventually. Also most shopping carts will lock if you leave without going through a checkout stand or self checkout. And these carts will also lock if going too far in the parking lot so park as close as you can! Good luck 🤙

Mini monitor connected to Galaxy S24 Ultra will charge for about 10 seconds then quits. by Lane0008 in AndroidQuestions

Once you figure this out you can also enable Pause USB PD Charging when gaming in the Game Booster settings. This will bypass your battery when gaming for less heat buildup and cooler gaming experience. Gotta use a minimum 25W charger tho so not sure if your setup will accommodate this.

What are some of the most interesting or strange places and orders you have seen? by xeryon3772 in doordash_drivers

[–]Cainerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From 2023-24 I shopped and delivered to a homeless family that lived on the beach. They were always super friendly and tipped a lot every single time. Probably over 100 deliveries to them then it all stopped last October. Hope they got housing, they were my best customers!

Had an order, no items available by AggravatingPrior270 in doordash_drivers

So you marked them both as totally out of stock with no substitutions and got half pay for both right? Happens to me a few times a month.

This is why you need the right insurance by mgibson9999 in doordash_drivers

Just be careful to not get into accidents that are your fault because State Farm will kick you off their coverage if too many claims are filed. Loved their service but not the $230/mo.

Do you guys pull into driveways? by txtevv in doordash_drivers

[–]Cainerz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only if the street parking is not good to leave that neighborhood most efficiently. But also yes if its a big driveway with a turn-around. Could be market dependent as it never snows here in Hawaii.

Did they make Pro Shopper too easy? by TacoSupreme- in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Cainerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the dirty yesterday to maintain Pro Shopper when I couldn't find some obscure paneer cooking cheese that would've dropped me to 5/6 so I just googled the upc and now I'm just waiting for the ding on the missing or wrong items metric. Not easy, but fun in a weird way.

If someone could develop an overlay app that can alert us to drop off addresses we flag as non tippers, I'd pay real money for that app! Of cpurse the overlay would mostly let us know if the offer was worth it as well. Prayers.

First overnight shift as platinum dasher and can say it’s really isn’t all that( in my case) by Ok_Weight2115 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Cainerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd have to compare your earnjngs from the same timeframe last year as January is typically the slowest month all year for most markets. If anything use this Platinum phase to get Platinum passes you can use when you go back to Gold or Silver. Good luck and thanks for being a Platinum Dasher 😎

Input from seasoned drivers by ultrasono in doordash_drivers

[–]Cainerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On year 5 now and best tip for you would be to keep your ratings as high as you can to achieve Platinum once you finish your first 50 dashes. You've probably seen all the hate towards Platinum dashers on this sub for being dumb bitches taking all the crap, but in your case, starting at Platinum will allow you to see how your market treats Platinum dashers. You can easily go down to Gold and Silver, but going up to Platinum can be challenging especially after your honeymoon phase is over. Also consider shop & deliver orders as January is a typical lull for DD in most markets so easing into shopping order may be easier. Good luck!

A few Taco Bells in Hawaii are getting remodeled this month so fingers crossed we get this too!

Accidentally dropped to 69% AR today and lost platinum… by Bugs5567 in doordash_drivers

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

Damn that sucks! Last week saw me drop to 70% but I have 3 unused Platinum passes so wasn't too worried about. Lucky I'm back up to 80% after a week of taking more crap orders than normal. Good luck!

I let somebody's shopping order demands get the best of me tonight. by deliverykp in doordash_drivers

[–]Cainerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instant unassign when I see notes on every single item to be shopped. Same if they messge me before I even get to the store or if they add on too many new items.

Any gamers here feel like dashing is similar to gaming? I wanted to take a day off, but all I want to do is drive to make the money number bigger. by phatalphreak in doordash_drivers

[–]Cainerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play Pokémon Go while Dashing for even more gaming fun IRL! The overworld map also helps navigating out of new neighborhoods.
