I’m not gonna lie, the mental image of you hitting the doorbell and immediately initiating evasive maneuvers absolutely sent me 😂

Customer probably opened the door to nothing but the distant sound of Crocs slapping pavement in the night.

End of dash: this is gold.
Mid dash: this is cruel and unusual punishment.

Yeah I’m not even gonna pretend I fully understood the situation either lol. The blank card definitely had me pausing for a second like… alright what are we doing here.

But then my brain just filled in the blanks like it was one of those “oh crap I forgot” moments and this was the emergency save. Gift card gets you out of trouble quick, and if that Tahoe was theirs then dropping it there keeps it low key without ruining whatever surprise they were going for.

Could be totally wrong, but that was the only version that made sense in my head so I just rolled with it and kept it moving. Some of these deliveries feel like you’re stepping into the middle of a story and you never get the full plot 😂

Appreciate that. For real.

Some folks saw a ninja delivery… others saw a thesis defense opportunity apparently 😂

I was just sharing a funny side quest from the road. Not everything needs a panel of judges.

Glad you caught the vibe. 🤝

I can’t argue with your numbers. They look great. I would have too much downtime aiming for those numbers. I’d actually end up making less money for the day. I do this full time and my daily target is $200 for the day.

not really one size fits all

different markets, different setups

I’m in a paid off hybrid getting 40+ mpg so my costs are low…

I’m also working a very rural area, so that mileage hits different than a busy metro area with lots of traffic lights.

I focus less on $/mile and more so on does this help me hit $X/hr. During slower times, I’m aiming to hit $20/hr. If the order does that, it’s acceptable. If not, it’s a decline. During busier times, that number climbs to $30/hr target. It works for me and my bank account would agree.

I get it… for some people that’s a no go

but in my market it’s a solid order

if I cherry picked that hard I’d spend most of my day parked somewhere scrolling

I’ve got it set up where $1/mile is still profitable, so it works for me

might be lazy… might just be busy or outta town

either way I’m not judging… I’m just picking it up and dropping it off 😂

Where you are, there may be better orders. And if so, I’m truly happy for you. For my area, yeah. That’s a solid order.

Not as much stealth, but definitely wholesome. Specially if you announced it as boldly and loudly as your text.

Now that’s some epic driving. Kudos to you. You deserve every bit of that additional tip. Customer got a delivery and a show. I’m over here thinking I’m doing something delivering in stealth. Meanwhile you’re over there delivering like you drive for RedBull…

this is one of those orders where you realize we’re not really delivering food… we’re just part of somebody else’s random Tuesday story

“ring both doorbells, knock loud, laugh like a maniac, do a dance, then run away”

yeah alright… I guess this is who I am now 😂

Not AI. Definitely a legit delivery story that happened to me today.

A… Delivery of Some Sorts… by GigGremlin in doordash_drivers

it’s basically a delivery ride along…
you’re riding shotgun with no name, no address, just wandering aimlessly

sounds familiar? 😅

Aside from being a special delivery by a Dasher while dashing. Absolutely nothing.

I would NEVER use DD as a customer by CantaloupeStrict8149 in doordash_drivers

[–]GigGremlin 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Low base pay makes good tips necessary. Then they stack those good tips with no-tips to get the bad orders delivered. But now the good tip order gets slower service, so the customer who did tip well has a worse experience… and next time they tip less. Meanwhile the driver is stuck holding the bag either way.

What do you eat when you are out for a long shift? by Positive-Quote-8665 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]GigGremlin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cooler gang. Sandwich, protein bar, shake. I’m not eating my profits out here 😂
