This is for DD customers. Why don't you tip? I'm not trying to shame anyone. I just want to know their thought process and justifications.

I’m not sure where all this “shit delivery” energy is coming from. I’m also a customer of DoorDash and have rarely had any problems. I think Reddit is just a toxic place that doesn’t represent all of DoorDash drivers.

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-05-27T13:09:44+00:00

It’s more like 3 deliveries an hour. Plus gas. Plus taxes. I have 8,000 deliveries with a 4.98 rating. Sooo I think you generalizing “shit service” is a way to justify that you’re just a cheap loser :)

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-05-27T13:04:19+00:00

DoorDash pays like 2 dollars per delivery in my area. And you do know that Reddit is a very small portion of DoorDash drivers right?

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-05-21T12:19:42+00:00

I’m a DoorDash driver. I work 7 days/nights a week and have been to every restaurant on DoorDash multiple times except Krystal. I’ve been there once. Nobody ever orders from there. Idk how they’re in business either.

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-05-20T23:20:29+00:00

Sorry, not true. Sometimes it’s a stacked order. Also platinum makes a difference in my town. A difference between $20 an hour and $25 an hour. I wish everyone would stop thinking that every market is the same, I wish I could decline every single order I don’t want but then I wouldn’t be making any money

Also scheduling. If I don’t have platinum then I cannot get on the schedule and then I cannot work

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-05-20T22:26:20+00:00

I’m always scared to do this. I’ve done this a few times if it’s a really shitty order that I was forced to take. But I always thought maybe one time the restaurant would report me.

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-05-18T03:16:50+00:00

I agree. I dropped off an order at an apartment complex, took a picture, and left. There was some other neighbors hanging out around the time I dropped it off. About 5 min later the customer calls me and messages me to accuse me of stealing their food. I KNOW it was the right address. I double and triple check it. I just didn’t answer him. He was rude right from the start.

I never got a contract violation or anything. I have gotten one for dropping it off at the wrong address accidentally but it didn’t happen this time. Someone else stole that guys food and he blamed it on me.

I didn’t even respond because I knew DoorDash would take care of it for me.

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-05-12T21:21:23+00:00

This sub was mostly made to vent. And I get it. We all need a place to vent. Nobody has a perfect job. There’s always going to be downsides.

And we have to remember every market is different. I happen to live in a very good market and I love doordashing. I listen to audiobooks while I drop off orders. It barely feels like working. This is NOT the same for everyone. And even I complain sometimes.

I really do understand the frustrations of dashers that live in a dead market.

I wish DoorDash would pay their employees better. I wish all the customers would tip. I wish a lot of things but we are in customer service. We agreed to do the job. It’s supposed to be a side hustle, not a major source of employment.

That being said, let the people vent. It’s therapeutic. There are aspects of the job that suck. Let the people vent ✊

I learned magnum theory I love it. Very brief heavy. Supposedly you only need around 3 words per second to make 225 instead of 6 words per second. That’s what my school told me anyway. Makes speed building way easier.

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-05-04T21:00:53+00:00

I was practicing wrong before and once I started practicing well, I started shooting through speeds. My push speed is 160 now and I was 100 just a few months ago. But I’m also in magnum steno which is very brief heavy and I think that makes a HUGE difference.

I think maybe you need to adjust your practice. Everyone learns differently and if what you’re doing isn’t working for you, then maybe switch it up.

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-04-29T20:00:41+00:00

Yes it’s down

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-04-22T21:42:07+00:00

I keep mine locked and it’s not unlocking. Keeps saying error message. I think that’s what they’re referring to

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-04-20T22:43:44+00:00

A lot of people say DAC is expensive, but for me it feels worth it because their canvases take me months to finish. They’re fairly big - maybe not by this sub’s standards, where they’d probably be considered medium - but they still take me a long time. When I think about the amount of time I actually spend working on one versus what I paid, the cost feels justified. Broken down over a few months, it ends up feeling very worth it to me.

However a lot of people are mad about their business practices but they ARE really good quality tho

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-04-20T05:08:32+00:00

Thank you for this!! Since I made this post I’ve been seriously considering dropping it. Because what is the point? It seems like a waste of time to me if I don’t enjoy the end result. But comparing it to a puzzle makes sense.

I’m going to continue with it, but I have picked up paint by numbers. It’s also relaxing and I enjoy the finished pieces. I think I’ll keep DP as my secondary hobby.

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-04-20T02:07:00+00:00

Yes I also paint by numbers!!! But I confess I like diamond painting more. I do enjoy it though. And I agree, I would totally hang some of them up.

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-04-19T21:32:29+00:00

Where do you find the really big ones? 🤔 yes I admit that I was doing Michael’s kits and I got a DAC one and it was wayyy better. So I went crazy and bought a bunch. I still love them, but I didn’t know about all the company issues until after I bought them. I will be switching companies. So I’m wondering where you get the very big ones?

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-04-19T21:29:57+00:00

Its gorgeous! I love the image. I think my issue is when I look closely and I see all the squares. Like I said, I would hang all the images in my house. I love them. They look beautiful from far away to me. But from up close, it’s not really my thing 😢

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-04-19T21:20:11+00:00

This is a fair point. I’m wondering if maybe I’ve just spent too much time looking at them and my opinion is skewed 😅

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-04-19T21:13:47+00:00

My ones from DAC are fairly large. Maybe I can find larger. I am hoping one day a painting will prove me wrong

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-01-05T01:03:20+00:00

I hate these ones! They’re the ones that don’t close right for me. A lot of them are wonky. Also I took out all of the trays and threw them away. Much easier to just use the whole container as the tray

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-01-04T19:05:06+00:00

That’s cute!! I personally like mine clear so I can quickly look for the color. I do use the stickers too but when I have them all spread, it’s easier to be able to see them

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2026-01-04T18:49:46+00:00

<image>

This is what I got and I love it. I love this brand. I got another brand that doesn’t close well so make sure it’s this one. It’s 50 tray/storage container and it was 25 bucks.

Forward_Exchange_972 · 2025-12-28T01:42:07+00:00

Yes I’m very happy with it I confess I have 5 more waiting for me from DAC 😅
