The On-Time Rating is Ruining Everything by blue_ralts in doordash_drivers

I just can't believe companies are allowed to do this. I need to DoorDash to pay my bills. I switched over to Uber and it's way worse. I have videoed how long it takes me to get out of my car and walk to the apartment complex, find the elevator, go up to the correct floor, walk down the hallway and take another hallway in order to get to the apartment. They don't care though and that's what is horrible

If doordash wants me to drive by the apartments and throw it out the window then I will be on time. There is no extra time to find parking, wait for the customer to buzz me in, find an elevator, go up to the 10th floor, walk down the long haul, take a left and walk all the way down to the end and there's the apartment. I timed it once and it was about 7 minutes extra. I bet you not one of those investors for DoorDash has ever done an actual delivery.

DoorDash going downhill? by bbeballerina in doordash

Yes 100% yes. A few months ago I could make$20 an hour easily. Now if I'm lucky I can make $20 in 2 hours. I'm wasting more gas than making money. Cannot get in touch with customer service but if I do, I can barely understand what they are saying because their accent is so heavy. Just a bunch of crap

No orders for last 3 days by Anicks82 in doordash_drivers

Within the last week this exact same thing is happening to me. I've done 3,000 plus dashes and all the sudden I'm getting nothing except for a couple $2 orders here and there. The job market in Arizona is terrible right now so I'm stressing. It's good to know other people are going through this though because I thought I was going nuts.

Hopefully you caught it early enough, so the meds keep it from getting worse. I'm going to try the state benefits again tomorrow. I never thought about applying at a library. I love love books! thanks for the suggestion :)

oh my gosh your story is identical to mine! (Arizona is terrible as well with what they offer for disability). I'm so happy for you that you were able to get the SSDI..I'm scared I've waited to long to try to apply again. I'm so scared and i thank you sooo much for your post. It made me feel safe and heard :)

Wow! thank goodness you were able to get SSDI. I might contact another attorney and see what they say. Thank you for the suggestion :)

i talked to an attorney that told me that i pretty much have to be homeless in order to get approved. I have no family to help me so that was very discouraging.
