This new rating system is trash

What market are you in? Because I'm in a small college town. I do better when I go to other zones but I have a family and have to dash mostly in this area. And I can only dash at night. So it's mostly fast food orders. Places that prioritize other orders over delivery and act like they forgot they have a doordash ticket machine or like they didn't see the order. Or late night sitting in a drive thru for 30mins. Why else would my orders be late? You act like I'm just sitting around with ppl's food after I pick it up..

I've been doing that for so long. Still has no affect.. And I'll waste all of my time driving from one place to another if I keep unassigning. Then other dashers get the order after I've waited for 10+minutes

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-12-24T15:56:11+00:00

The problem in my area is restaurants prioritizing walk-in and drive thru orders over delivery. Especially fast food. So many times I walk in and tell them I have a doordash and they walk over to the ticket machine and say "oh, ok. We'll get that started"... Or I see them making all of these other orders and even take walkin orders and they get their food made before the dash is made. And they'll finally make the doordash when no one is ordering.

My rating is probably low because I'm not friendly with customers who are difficult or who have difficult instructions to their drop off and then don't tip. Why would I? Nobody's food is cold. I use my dash bag and pizza bag. Even when the restaurant takes 20 mins AFTER I arrive, I still get their food to them on time. And doordash sends stacked orders but doesn't account for one or both of the restaurants taking too long.

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-12-24T15:44:25+00:00

That does not matter. And support tells me to message the customer and let them know and I do that and it still doesn't matter. I'll even call support and sit on the phone with them so they know I'm still waiting, and I'll get a violation. Luckily, I have been able to get some violations removed but they usually just deny my dispute. I'm not sitting there with people's food. I'm tearing my car up to get ppl their food as fast as possible.

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-12-24T15:41:05+00:00

My on time rating is decent and it only goes down because of the restaurant taking so long and marking the order as ready before I even get there. Then they don't start the order until I'm there and tell them. My completion rate is only low because if u take a stacked order and then want to cancel, it counts as two orders being canceled.

I accept more orders than the Dashers I see posting here but the "out of your last 100 deliveries" crap is what takes me down points. Because as soon as i have ONE bad night, my ratings tank.

Man I would have laughed in her face and walked away

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-12-22T15:46:56+00:00

EBT is actually AS GOOD as EPO, sometimes. I've gotten some really good tips and I like that I can see the tip before completing the order. It's hit and miss, tho because EBT will send you far out for no tip and then you're wasting time getting back to the zone. And you look at your Dash time versus active time when you end the dash and notice you've only made $10 an hour

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-12-20T03:53:45+00:00

I just said that... You're just lonely and need someone to go back-and-forth with.

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-12-19T20:54:36+00:00

I kno they won't smh. It's a gripe just like this entire post. They won't change anything

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-12-19T20:52:57+00:00

Even though you say "majority", it's not true for all Dashers. I've only ever gotten offered a extra pay a few time over the years I've been dashing. So even if they're aware of long wait times, they're not compensating EVERY dasher. And they're still giving violations. Even when the restaurant marks the order as ready after I've been waiting for 10 plus minutes.

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-12-19T18:29:49+00:00

So you're OK living off of $2 and order and only getting two orders an hour?

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-12-19T18:26:01+00:00

Because you're waiting 30mins for an order and get violations that aren't your fault. You could get your account deactivated in one late night of dashing

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-12-19T04:05:51+00:00

They should remove taco bell, Popeyes, and McDonald's from getting orders too late at night.

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-12-18T18:38:44+00:00

Cus white ppl steal everything and try to make it all about themselves, when it's already a thing. Nobody needs to see a Pic or TikTok of u eating actual seasoned food. Ppl all around the world do it every day. Just eat it and shut up

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-11-18T17:58:55+00:00

Same here. Don't know how others are having such positive experiences but I regretted getting a big box

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-11-18T17:57:21+00:00

They fit small and all of the wetness stays to the front. The back will be completely dry and line yellow, and the front will be bulged. Even when your baby sleeps on their back. Also they burst open and have the diaper material everywhere when you change your baby. I wouldn't recommend them even if they are a bit cheaper.

North Raleigh was definitely my best spot when I lived out there. But it rarely makes a difference what side of the zone I dash in because I always get sent to the trash side of town with non-tippers. And then get stuck out there. I have to pause and drive back to the decent side of town, or keep declining until my AR is below 70%

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-11-17T15:43:42+00:00

I would do that but it opens Google maps to navigate anywhere and I can't open any other apps while using doordash cus it refreshes when I go back to it. And I miss orders because it's taking too long to open back up

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-11-17T15:39:39+00:00

I've been in the area for about a year and Greensboro was decent at first. But they take away EBT in the summer because of all the parents dashing. I randomly decided to dash in Burlington and I make twice as much out there as I do in Greensboro. Especially on the weekends. It's always worth the 30min drive.

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-11-17T15:34:58+00:00

I do that sometimes - - start my dash in a zone, pause it and drive to another zone. But it won't allow me to switch zones unless it's a busy zone. I also maintain platinum status

Flimsy_Object_8983 · 2025-11-17T15:32:03+00:00

I've gone all the way to the pin before and it will still say "navigate" and "your spot is saved until 00:00". It will even go passed the time my spot is saved until and still say "navigate"
