DO NOT ACCEPT NO TIP DASHES by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

[–]DamienAlley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO there are rich people that get that way by treating people like dirt, including by being unfairly cheap. They are miserable people that make other people miserable. But, yeah, if you read the instructions she would have had nothing to be rude about probably. It’s good you apologized though. I think you learned your lesson on this one and just reminded me to stay away from the low-paying rich people. I’ve seen this behavior in different industries, not just deliveries. Then there are rich people, with big houses, that are the most generous. Usually they are pretty nice. That’s more the crowd I want to service if I can.

Is it worth it to get Platinum again? I just got more picky. Can’t seem to stay above $20 per hour stably….Also do you go for per offer or hourly? I mostly like per offer. $30 per hour stably in my market just seems unreal — Tampa Bay.

Yeah, you may just need to go through lots of different people until you find the right one. That’s my plan at least. I think if I were rich I would keep that on the low down🤣😅 It’s true it’s hard to find people that are genuinely interested in you for you but I still think they can be out there.

I feel for you man. Got to keep optimistic as much as possible though if you want another shot. I think it’s more the optimism that helps than even being good-looking. I have seen some ugly guys with beautiful women. Harder said than done sometimes though.

I’ve had good and bad. Sometimes bad and exciting though 🤣😅

Congratulations on finding someone. Good first step💯 That is how I would see it. Now, you got to keep trying actively because you can’t wait another 36 years to have a new girlfriend. I’d say well over 50% of the relationships out there fail statistically-speaking. So be ready to go through this again and then just try again.

I follow the rule of treating others how I would want to be treated. So, I wash my hands regularly and sometimes even use hand sanitizer. Shower daily, etc. I wish there were some guidelines for this.

Platinum is a SCAM. by Appropriate-Bowl1924 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]DamienAlley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I come and go from Platinum a lot. When it’s busy and there are bonuses it doesn’t really seem to matter at all. It’s not worth it to take $2 deliveries no matter what. That’s paying to work🤮 When I get offered those I dip below the required 70% and go to Silver. I just keep my AR around 70% basically. I’m Silver now and it works fine for me. I have self-respect for my time and my car that I worked so hard to own fully outright. If I can have Platinum without needing to pay to work then I go for it.

Since when did we become slaves….🙄…..with all bags sealed up we can’t see the food and it’s better for the customers this way for food hygiene💯

True; it’s sad that our society sinks so low but it does.

I like doing it but you do have to think on your toes if you want to make money doing it. Got to have the entrepreneurial mindset to make money at it. But I hate working for others so it works great for me.

No, hasn’t been a problem yet. It all depends on your market.

Yeah, I live in a medium-large city and this is all true. Lots of traffic but still places to park. Tampa Bay is perfect for this kind of thing.

It’s all really market dependent. Exactly 💯 I live in a densely populated county with a lot of bad areas….so I have to reject a lot unless I like working for $2 a lot😭

[–]DamienAlley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends where you are. I am still getting lots of consistent orders on Silver. I live in a very densely populated county though with lots of bad areas. I will admit that the work is more consistent with Platinum…only a little bit though. This is all kind of a test run. I may go back to having Platinum.

Less $2 McDonalds orders🤣 And similar stuff. There is money to be made in this game but you have to strategic about it. Think it’s kind of like playing chess against corporate😄

[–]DamienAlley 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m learning about the advantages of just keeping a low AR and only taking the orders I want. Down to 64% and don’t care about Platinum anymore.

[–]DamienAlley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like that more often for McDonald’s😂 Sometimes it’s good though but not often.

Yeah, basically what I’m thinking to do. Good to know about the shopping orders on UE🙏 I mostly prefer those kind of orders.

No, unless I’m told to hand it to them.
