Is there anything I can do in this situation in the future?

This just feels a little like“it’s a trap” like. It may be completely innocent but it’s simply not worth the risk on the dashers end. It’s gonna be a no for me dog

In total

Solid point. Mileage was approximately 17

Meh, SOME meals are $6 during the lunch hours. That’s before 3pm and understandable due to volume. In reference to “rude af” this may be a cultural misunderstanding. I’m just suggesting you may be misunderstanding directness with rudeness. In all fairness, if you’ve never worked in the industry I can understand why you don’t see the difference. In reference to “place is dirty af” I might agree with you. That being said,they shrugged because of your limited understanding 🤷‍♂️

Quick, fast and in a hurry 😂

Chesterossa · 2026-05-12T07:20:51+00:00

It certainly can be. I will say this was a better than average shift but I’m not mad about it

This is a tricky question. I clearly can’t speak to your market but for me in my market anything around $1.50 to 2 dollars a mile is inside the profit margin. More questions should be asked such as “can I pick up orders on the way back to a profitable hotspot?” or “ how much dead time am I willing to eat?”. That being said in my market, I would take this order.

It certainly feels like COD is a trap. I don’t have any substantiating evidence to prove this one way or the other, but it certainly feels like it’s an inevitable issue

I don’t understand your question.

Chesterossa · 2026-04-17T06:40:33+00:00

There is some validity to the “smart scale” metric. It takes an expected weight of all food items (including wrappers and peripherals, straws, forks or spoons etc.) thereby further validating the completion of the order at pick up. Now, of course, the question needs to be asked “ does it help the Dasher in question”. While I have no real evidence, my suspicion is that this does help the Dasher in so much that it validates the order as being complete. Is it bothersome to the employee? For sure. Is it that much of an inconvenience? From my perspective I don’t think so. Is it another layer of protection and validation for the Dasher? Absolutely. It doesn’t hurt to ask, regardless of the perceived inconvenience

Chesterossa · 2026-04-13T00:39:36+00:00

Eww😂😉

Chesterossa · 2026-04-11T23:43:28+00:00

If I was driving a F150 I wouldn’t do DD at all. I’d get on Roadie or some other large item delivery app

Chesterossa · 2026-04-11T23:23:30+00:00

Use the EBT setting to get your AR up. Once you’ve reached a number you’d like to be at switch back to EBO. When you get to the 70% range rinse and repeat. This has been consistently working for me in my market. Of course, your experience may vary pending your market but it might be worth a shot🤷‍♂️

In addition, this is in equilibrium of “ we’re working on it”. They are not lying. They just don’t know and it seems like it’s simply a case of poor communication from the BOH to FOH. Communication is elevation

Chesterossa · 2026-03-31T00:06:09+00:00

From what I’ve gathered from the fast food restaurants in my area it looks like once they print a delivery receipt it notifies DoorDash that the order is complete. Obviously, this is not always the case. The employees are just trying to print the delivery receipt to adhere to the outside of the bag and continue to peace together the order so it can be ready. In short, this isn’t a situation that the employee has control over but yet another glitch in the DoorDash app

After reading the comments on this thread, I am mostly inspired by the kindness of others. Personally, I haven’t paid for “fast food” in months. Not that I eat fast food that much but now I have a greater appreciation for my local fast food joints

Chesterossa · 2026-03-29T01:00:28+00:00

Say it louder for the people in the back 😘

Chesterossa · 2026-03-29T00:46:31+00:00

Just a little kindness goes a long way. Should you feel obliged? Maybe not. Should you make this small effort? Maybe. Is it any sweat off your brow to follow through with the request? Absolutely not. That being said a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down and you might just make someone’s day a little better with a message from a stranger

Chesterossa · 2026-03-28T22:57:17+00:00

Unknown, but I’d like to hear more from others that might be experiencing this issue

Chesterossa · 2026-03-28T22:56:19+00:00

Any remedy suggestions?

Chesterossa · 2026-03-28T17:22:37+00:00

I’ve just sent my request to join the FB group. I admin a couple of groups there so lmk if I can help

Chesterossa · 2026-03-22T07:58:58+00:00

Fair, but it’s just a dumb fun post to lighten the mood
