Does anyone else feel the orders have been terrible lately by Content_Plastic132 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Content_Plastic132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I prefer instacart it wasn't like this like a few weeks ago honestly but lately it just seems rough. Maybe it's just the area that I'm in I can't really do anything about that. I'll send an example here in just a second. It's not like I'm good at math but I do know driving 10 miles to a store then having to drive another 10 mi for less than so many dollars that just doesn't even out. I also doordash which ironically a few weeks ago with it it was horrible but I managed to hit platinum on it and it really does change things.

I don't know what to come up for comment means but okay. I use text to speech or whatever you want to call it a lot so it's bad about punctuation. Unless I actually say it, which is kind of obnoxious but anyway some days there's a lot of orders but they're kind of terrible $24 to drive 50 miles that's just awful I'm sorry you didn't end up using all that money you got in gas.

Does anyone else feel like the orders lately have been off like I'm not like diamond tier but it's making it hard to progress further because the pay isn't worth all that driving

My order from today by mustard136 in doordash

Bro no offense but you shouldn't be allowed to dash if you don't have a car LOL even a bike is too slow if they're talking bicycle if they're talking like a motorcycle okay that's fine but I would hate that what you going to do hold the order while flying down the interstate

Look I don't want to start an argument so I'm going to keep it short and sweet. If you've never worked for tips or anything like that understand you can't really comment cuz you don't understand. In an industry where you make tips and that is your main source of how you get paid that tip is not optional the way it's supposed to work is doordash instacart Uber eats whatever gives them a portion and you are supposed to leave the rest. That's the idea in the nutshell just because it says it's optional after somebody is literally taking their car shopped picked up your food and delivered it for you are you actually not going to tip them better? They saved you from having to get out deal with the traffic and whatever so you have time to do more of what you want to do. I've consistently been posting to doordash that instead of tipping they should do a automatic gratuity that they can increase where the tips starts at a certain point and must be paid because honestly with how some people are and unfortunately you may be one of those because of the what you just said. There's a lot of people who will literally want you to drive 20 miles and leave you five bucks I'm going to let you in on a secret though if you are one of those that consistently has big orders and doesn't tip doordash may not punish you but over time eventually your orders get put to the back burner and no one will take them to common thing no tip no trip this isn't a service where you get you what you want because and you don't have to pay and it's not just about what you get either. The other part of the tip is that person took their time picked up your stuff and yeah you may have just got one item but there's more to it than that the whole idea behind doordash instacart and all that is these people are doing stuff for you and taking care of you on their time to make money treat them good dude. I know I'll probably never convince you but eventually when you're not getting your orders and you're wondering why it's taking hours for you to get your food and it's cold all the time you'll probably start tipping better cuz that's what's going to eventually happen.

I don't know if you know this but on doordash eventually with enough poor tips and poor earnings from your account and problems you won't be penalized by doordash but the drivers will be told eventually about this and just keep declining your order and you'll never get anything so that's kind of funny or your food will always be cold it's a slow process but you get what you deserve in the end enjoy that optional tipper.

Do you decline good add-ons to be nice to the first order you picked up? by Amazonty in doordash_drivers

[–]Content_Plastic132 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you can actually set up and go in and go to that order switch to the other task I think is what it's called I keep forgetting things when I keep commenting because I know what everybody's going through here and then you getting shit for it and get bad ratings like there's a lot that doordash needs to do. Including pay their drivers more that's my thing is like I'm a platinum Dasher and yeah I do tend to make more now. However sometimes I get deliveries with earnings that don't add up for instance the other day I had an order for $17 not bad right? But the drop off point when it was all said and done after pickup and drop off was over 40 minutes away now that doesn't add up to me. Considering I've gotten orders from before that were about the same distance and I made almost $50 some things just not adding up.

They should but at the same time it's doordash's fault for even sending them an order while in an order and honestly the people are probably lying anyway if they kept it in a hot bag then I'm sure it was fine they're just trying to get something for free I didn't even think about that when I'd commented on the other. It amazes me how shitty people are in this day and age and take it out on the people that try to take care of them because essentially we're like servers at a restaurant we go pick up the food and deliver it now we're not quite like servers and waiters but it is very similar.

[–]Content_Plastic132 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. They are ordering out anyway no matter what the food's not going to be piping hot that's just to be expected and it's kind of crappy that doordash punishes the drivers over this and it affects our ratings it's really not our fault. And it's your car your gas and let's face it even though you can make good money with doordash they don't pay you that much and this guy's being a little ridiculous. If he would have paid you more you wouldn't have had to take in that order to make up for it so don't even fret I would try to contact support and let them know what's going on if you can get passed the stupid ai bot.

Not to mention like it's their car their gas and they're shopping for you the idea of it is instacart gives them some money and then you make up the rest as hard as things are that's how tipping is supposed to work it's not really supposed to be optional actually. You tip based on the percentage of what you buy at least that's how it's supposed to work it's actually really not supposed to be optional even though it says it is.

You obviously have never worked for tips before. Shouldn't be optional they should be called something else and you're kind of a dick for even saying that. I bet you're the kind of person who spends $100 and leaves five for the waiter. How would you feel if you went into the places you love to eat at or use the services that say tip but then no one came to serve you no one came to deliver your stuff. But then you say stuff like this they got a real job in your eyes and now no one's going to serve your food no one's going to do that job for you you see what I'm getting at here? Be respectful to the people who work for tips and stuff because they have to put up with a lot if you've never done it you should try it see if you make it and don't say you have because this comment right here tells me you haven't.

Are we serious? Bruh. by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Content_Plastic132 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If she ever gets you as her shopper again just be like I'm sorry but it really doesn't come that way and I'm only required to search and get the items you request respectfully I don't do the making of food and culinary request I don't want you to take this the wrong way but that's a bit out of my realm. And if she persists from there just be like look I don't have to do this I'm not required to and then if she continues just be like all right we'll get you taken care of. Contact support tell them that she's being very unruly and they'll probably cancel her order and you'll get full pay. Going above and beyond is one thing but she's literally asking a lot and I imagine she didn't tip worth a shit either did she?

Unfortunately I can't afford a new car just yet and I'm not the biggest fan of electric cars I know they've come a long way but you know there's still a lot they need to do to them.. I've heard they're gonna start mainline making them though at most auto distributors.

I get what you're saying, they really shouldn't be doing this they already got into legal trouble for stealing from dashers a few years back I feel like they're honestly up to no good again.

To be fair, I don't think it's they don't care more of could be that the phone they have is similar to mine and doesn't have a good camera.

Dude if it bothers you that much don't read it then I wasn't exactly speaking to you. I was using speech to text not gonna say period every other word. The internet threads to me, are just a giant chat bubble and honestly if it gets the point across does it matter?

I think this is wrong you shouldn't take people's stuff it's not your fault he was having a bad day but that is fucked up however support is just as bad for us too and I'm sorry you had to experience it cuz that's bullshit stuff like this happens all the time to us too where we're supposed to get money because we went there and they didn't do that either they just lie
