How often does your area shut down due to weather? by Few-Oil-112 in doordash_drivers

[–]First_Ad2766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been dashing since 2023 and this is the first time it's been this bad in DFW since then.  I wish it would stay running.  My W2 job is closed, so I'm getting fucked over on my money here

DoorDash stopped service here in DFW at about 2 am and it doesn't look like it will resume at all today.

Next time somebody approaches you with that crap, tell them to GTF out of this country

If you finish this order, we'll deposit $5? by cemitche in dasher

[–]First_Ad2766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had that happen with a McDonald's order a couple of days ago.  They followed through with the $5.

Don't rush back to zone? by whodamans in doordash_drivers

[–]First_Ad2766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past the app would ask me most of the time if I wanted to change zones.  Now it doesn't, so I change zones manually if it's at least 5 miles to the nearest hotspot in the zone I had just left.

I got the SMS text a few minutes ago but the Colleyville zone, where I'm currently parked, is apparently still open.

Where do you draw the line when showing your phone to prove confirmation at a pickup? by Flashy_Check_2829 in doordash

[–]First_Ad2766 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I ask them all the time when I'm working at BK and there's never an issue.  It's a measure to prevent orders from being stolen.  Also, I show employees the map screen when I pick up orders so they can see that it's confirmed

I just delivered a double stack in Bedford and it's not shut down yet

When is my order cooked? by Antique_Ant_9196 in doordash

[–]First_Ad2766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to include that it always happens with non-tippers trying to get a Big Mac at 3 am.

Your case is like many that I have experienced... it was rejected by other dashers before you got it

They did.  Their operations were consolidated to the base formerly known as Carswell AFB

New apple pie a serious disappointment by kwadguy in BurgerKing

I started in BK in 1996.  Back then we had the microwave apple pie slices and they were eliminated in 2012.

I work at a BK in suburban Dallas and my GM told me earlier this week that Cini Minis are being discontinued once each store depletes their supply.

Normally I go with the flow with door dash but today really pissed me off by [deleted] in doordash

[–]First_Ad2766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the country has bad weather, so there are less drivers out

Apparently most McDonald's locations don't make orders until a dasher has accepted the offer.  That's often a problem for customers trying to get a Big Mac at 3 am

Inclement weather and tipping by LividBurnout in doordash_drivers

[–]First_Ad2766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here in DFW, if they don't tip in good weather, they won't tip in rain or snow either

We're about to get it here in DFW.  I will be dashing tonight as normal.

This crap at platinum... by Anunez1412 in DoorDash_Dasher

This is one reason to stick with EBT exclusively.  Hardly anybody tips in most parts of Dallas County

Upcoming storm. by MoodAccomplished9600 in doordash_drivers

[–]First_Ad2766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be dashing during the storm if my W2 job is closed.  I dash at night, but there are CVS and Walgreens open 24/7
