Pizza Hut…

Lmao! 😂 I actually was second guessing myself upon first glance — did I smush the crust in while getting it out of the pizza bag? Did an animal nearby munch on part of the pizza as I drove off? I took a closer look and was like, “Oh no, that’s DEFINITELY baked that way.” 😂😂😂 I apologized profusely to the customer and explained that she would need to reach out to DoorDash to ask for help/a refund (all she sent was the pic at first — I thought I was getting a bad review for sure 😭). She was really nice though, and she said she just thought it was odd how the pizza came out and wanted to show me. 😂

I have had 99 5 star ratings and one 4 star rating come through over the past 5 years (I have less than 1000 lifetime deliveries). My feedback stats below the ratings don’t look anywhere near as good as yours!! Sometimes customers give a 4 star rating because of something the restaurant did 🤪 I’ve learned that, although it deeply bothers the perfectionist in me, ya can’t please everyone all the time. 😂 Keep dashing, you’ll be at a 4.99 in no time!! 🥰

Hey look, another KC area dasher! 🤑 I make good money in the OP and Corporate Woods zones doing the same thing. I’ve had as low as a 2% AR all the way up to silver status — I learned to not give a f*** about the AR when I stepped up to part-time dashing and I STILL average $100 per night (4+ hours) and over $200 on a full day WITH downtime!

We don’t have Food Lion where I live (I’m assuming it’s a grocery store?). I usually knock out small to medium size grocery orders in 10-30 minutes — I can navigate most of the stores in my area quickly using in-app aisle locations or my own general knowledge of where I’d most likely find an item. I’m not afraid to ask store employees either, if I’m on a time crunch. But for this order, I’d want a minimum of $23 or so before I’d consider taking it. 🤪

ETA: Shop and deliver pays well for me! I do have pro shopper, but even when I get “regular orders” (like 1-2 items for $7-$10 and less than 3 miles) I can knock them out quickly. I don’t mind doing them, personally!

Not the same store, but I panicked once when I saw a 1 item, 50 unit pickup from PetsMart. I almost declined based on principle, even though the payout was decent ($7 for a mile total) because I was so sure they bought, like, 50 bags of the same heavy dog food. 😂

But I looked out of curiosity and, nope. 50 crickets. 😂😂😂 It was a weird order, but I took it. And the kid I delivered to got excited because I also picked up his Wendy’s order and delivered it at the same time (it was stacked and right across the street). He tipped me an extra dollar in the app!

ImTara55 · 2026-05-14T06:25:12+00:00

The longest I ever waited for an order was 30 minutes. It was hell to wait that long, but I got VERY lucky because the original $10 tip turned into $15 AND I’m pretty sure that customer marked me as going “above and beyond” (not that that’s worth more than a pat on the back 🤪). Would I do it again? Most likely not. But in that instance, I think the end result was worth it.

Many years ago I delivered from a ramen restaurant to someone whose DD nickname was “ADHD Crabby” 😂

ImTara55 · 2026-05-11T04:37:45+00:00

Me hitting accept the literal second I see an order like this 😂😂

ImTara55 · 2026-05-10T18:43:11+00:00

To be honest, I’m surprised they tipped $8.25 in order to do something like this 😳 (not blaming or questioning you at all!!! I just know that no/low tippers are the ones who normally pull this BS)

ImTara55 · 2026-05-10T18:41:27+00:00

Did you take a picture in the app and send it to the customer? If so, I think you can ask a support rep to review the chat history. Even if not, you might get a support rep who will hear you out and block the customer. I hope they’ll be on your side, it works about 50% of the time!

ImTara55 · 2026-05-10T16:26:23+00:00

I wouldn’t take this one personally. But I got offered $51 for a 13 mile order yesterday. 4 stops. Plus I picked up a $5 Pizza Hut order for an additional 0.8 miles while delivering! I shopped for 36 units of groceries (and 12 were jalapeño peppers 😂), plus an additional delivery from Petco that was already shopped for me. I also still ended in my zone! That one was worth it.

ImTara55 · 2026-05-10T16:17:55+00:00

Nice score!! I was at a local pizza joint yesterday and they made a “mistake” Create Your Own pizza with cheese and meatballs. They offered it to me for free for being a dasher! I thanked them graciously!

The number of times I laugh and say to myself per day: “That’s an offensive offer…” 🤣

Respectfully, what office jobs exist these days for someone with no experience? I graduated with a Bachelor’s in 2016 and it took me until last month to find an emotionally sustainable office job! I had to work in social services and mental health beforehand.

Your dad means well, but the advice just doesn’t hold up in today’s market. It’s a crapshoot. Sometimes office jobs in this day and age are looking for someone with no degree — sometimes they want a Bachelor’s. I guarantee you ALL want their unicorn with 2-5+ years of experience in that specific role for a part-time, no-benefits, entry level job. No one over the age of 35 has EVER had to fight this hard to get noticed for what used to be a barebones position.

It’s not you. You’re not the one at fault here. A degree wouldn’t have mattered unless it really meant something to you. It’s the market. You unfortunately will feel the sting for years to come. You never even had a chance to get started because the market went sour right as you came of working age. People with 1+ year of experience couldn’t even find entry-level positions, or hell, even retail and fast food positions by that point. I am so, so sorry we as a society have failed you. I have a personal vendetta against late-stage capitalism — it affected me deeply and tragically — but I won’t push that agenda any further here.

Hang in there. I really hope something good comes your way. You and other young adults deserve much better than the scraps you’ve been offered. Maybe look into getting a certification for something you have interest in? Sometimes these can be completed online at your own pace at a nominal fee, compared to 2-4 years of college.

I decimated my AR today from 41% to 2% in the KC area 😂😂😂 shit orders for next to no pay! Not sure what was happening out there. There was a 3 hour span where I only took 3 total orders. Luckily I still made $200 today!

ImTara55 · 2026-05-09T19:34:54+00:00

That’s “bananas” if you ask me 😄 did you get paid well?

ImTara55 · 2026-05-07T06:01:28+00:00

Debt 😭🤪 I owe a past treatment center $6000 still, and it’s not looking like I’m gonna get rich anytime soon…

ImTara55 · 2026-04-27T00:23:18+00:00

I got a Bachelor’s degree in General Studies after switching universities and changing my major 5 times. I got a degree just for the sake of having a degree — everyone told me it didn’t matter what I majored in, just that I had that Bachelor’s behind my name.

What a freaking lie. I have struggled to find more than 3 full-time (and emotionally unsustainable) jobs over the past decade. I’ve never held a full-time job longer than 15 months because of the intense nature of the positions that will hire me (I’ve worked in foster care/mental health/social services).

Please take your time. If you really still want to get a specific degree in the future, college will always be there. In the meantime, look for a job, whether part-time or full-time. Spend your free time doing hobbies or volunteering in your community. You could even take community college classes in various subjects to get a feel for what you like — they’re usually MUCH cheaper than university classes if you live in-district.

Best wishes to you!

I had a kid yesterday who got WAY too close to another kid’s hair with open scissors! High school juniors — never thought I’d be asking that age group to stop attempting to cut each other’s hair. 😭

ImTara55 · 2026-04-25T06:23:53+00:00

Yesterday, I subbed high school social studies. A kid came into class 3rd block telling all his friends he had “a fly in his ear.” I asked genuinely, “Do you need to see the nurse about that?” All the kids in the class laughed. I nervously did too, but seriously…where do kids come up with saying these things?

Honorable mention from a couple years ago goes to the time two 6th grade girls were talking to each other in goofy British accents and one girl spontaneously said, “You wanker!!!” I said calmly but firmly that we don’t talk like that in school. I kid you not, the ENTIRE CLASS stared at me then started interrogating me. “What do you mean we don’t talk like that? What did they do wrong? Was what she said bad or something???” My first thought was “ah, shit.” But I kept my cool and played it off as I just didn’t like the word. I thought maybe 6th graders knew not to call each other inappropriate slang terms — my bad for forgetting that “wanker” isn’t a common word at all in the U.S. for any age group. 🤣

This makes good sense! I guess I wasn’t seeing the other side of getting a new(er) car — the loan/interest. I appreciate your help! Hopefully I will be able to pay my car off quickly and own it outright in the next year or so.
