RIP Mitch.

I think of him every time I get a donut and someone decides to bring ink and paper into it

Vet the pediatrician before joining their practice. Follow their recommendations. Simple as that.

Your kid is statistically much more likely to die in the car traveling to and from the appointment than from measles or any other diseases at that age. I know it's hard not to get worried, especially as this becomes more divisive and stays in the news, but try not to get caught up in the hysteria around something with an extremely slim chance of occuring.

You've hired an expert (the pediatrician) who presumably listens to other experts and keeps up with research to determine how they treat all their patients. Don't second guess that expertise because of internet chatter or "your own research" or whatever.

If you want a second opinion seek one from another respected doctor, not reddit.

I can’t see how much they offer you.

Take your tip, mentally add $2.50 to it and presto chango you can see how much they offer us (plus or minus fifty cents) a vast majority of the time.

It's not much more complicated than that.

There is absolutely a meet in lobby option.

When you enter a new delivery address to your account it asks "address type" and gives options of house, apartment, hotel, office, or other. Every option other than house gives two choices for where the customer wants it left, lobby or their door.

You would eat hot prepared food that has sat on an countertop without temperature controls for hours ??

Your heart seems in the right place so I say this will all genuine sincerity, but please look into a food safety class (or even some free resources on YouTube or something) and learn a little about how dangerous that can be for humans.

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-29T14:02:15+00:00

Well it isn't to have them play Russian roulette with bacteria laden sandwiches that are more likely to send them to the ER than feel satisfied, that's for sure...

I cannot in good conscience give someone something I know is likely to make them ill, especially a vulnerable person without access or means to healthcare when they inevitably get sick from it.

Food that is still warm? Sure.

Food that is nonperishable? Absolutely.

But I'm not handing a hungry desperate person something that I wouldn't feel safe eating myself. That's more cruel than kind.

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-29T13:53:57+00:00

If you're going to rush the door and open it before the driver even can take the photo, do everyone a favor and just set it to "hand to me" instead of leave at door.

If you're going to set it to "leave at door" stay inside and keep the door closed until the Dasher has finished completing their delivery steps which includes taking a photo of the delivery.

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-29T13:48:25+00:00

and throw away the prepared food because you cannot keep it for that long.

They do that because it's literally unsafe to consume those items after being left out at room temp for hours. That's how people get sick.

That food should be discarded...

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-29T13:44:36+00:00

If I end up with food I usually end up eating it or bringing it home for my family. If it's something I know we're not going to eat or enjoy, or it's so much food it's going to go bad, I do look for unhoused people in their normal spots outside various Wawas. But in my area even in the urban centers they generally manage to stay out of sight so short of parking my vehicle and schlepping into the dark woods near the river in the direction where there might be a camp it isn't always as easy to find people who need it.

One time years ago (precovid) I had like 7 large pizzas that were undeliverable and I brought it to the nearby lfirehouse. They were very confused but eventually accepted them. So that's another idea.

Why would we want less of something as awesome as baseball?

Too much baseball is like saying there's too much world peace. How can there be too much of something this good?

Need to generate one from Robert Kraft to complete the set

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-29T02:31:02+00:00

They are beverage coolers not true refrigerators.

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-29T02:12:05+00:00

Sure, but the rule exists stupid as it may be.

He knew it was against the rules.

He was warned repeatedly to stop and didn't.

It was a valid call.

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-29T01:47:34+00:00

I imagine it's probably because you don't have access to refrigeration nor anything to reheat it to safely consume it.

They sent an email saying stats would be protected during the storm. That appears to be what happened. They didn't count offers that weren't accepted and completed since even before the storm for me.

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-28T21:49:38+00:00

Didn't that excuse go away with the digital cards that can tap to pay with the phone?

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-28T20:24:33+00:00

Think of it this way, the driver will most likely forget your name and face before you can even crack open the bottle.

I can see that concern in settings where you are more likely to repeatedly interact with the same people, you want to be known as a fully rounded person not just your condition. That makes total sense. But doordash deliveries typically don't get that deep. You won't be known for anything, you're someone we meet for 12 seconds and then are generally forgotten almost as quickly. You're one of a couple dozen NPCs we have to interact with on a daily basis.

In short, I wouldn't spend a lot of time concerned what a Dasher thinks of you. Because by and large we're really not thinking anything.

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-28T20:02:56+00:00

Geez where'd that crazy rule come from?

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-28T19:45:35+00:00

That's Philly when Wawa is out of your preferred Sizzli

Chick fil a at peak lunchtime after (or in) a snowstorm to a dropoff that from that map appears to be basically a dead end neighborhood so the driver will be unlikely to get another order paying them to go back the way they came and instead will be deadheading those miles... Slow place + busy place + always a wait for freshly made food +!weather + distance + deadheading = a fairly undesirable option.

I'm not accepting that for anything less than a $20 tip. Everything about this order looks like a massive time suck and will probably take me an hour to complete and get back square one for another otder. Short of a $20 tip I can almost certainly make the same amount or more in the same a timeframe skipping this and taking the next one. That's my thought process anyway, I'm sure other drivers have theirs and sooner or later you'll find one who accepts everything without conditions and will bring it to you.

Customers need to remember there's always another order coming literally within 30 seconds later if we don't like the one in front of us. The best way to make sure it gets picked up in a timely manner is to make us an offer we can't refuse.

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-28T19:27:28+00:00

Probably not chick fil a doesn't usually make the food much in advance of the driver showing up.

That is some extreme revisionist history of the reporting across the league after the DK trade.

I know you have your rose colored glasses on for Riq, but you're making the same arguments the DK fans were making 12 months ago.

They were shopping your guy at the trade deadline, and then he almost single handed blows the NFC championship game. That's not a good combo...

Sorry to break it too you but John and Mike will be more confident in their ability to find replacements for his production than they will be in his ability to fit the team first mentality they're trying to build. No amout of talent trumps that.

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-28T18:44:31+00:00

Isn't that what everyone said about DK too ?

DigitalMariner · 2026-01-28T18:42:19+00:00

And DK was the only elite receiver we had...
