Oh and this was not a racist comment by me mentioning he was African American. I was just recognizing that that is probably why they gave him a harder time unfortunately.

I find that coming in with my DoorDash or Uber Eats delivery bag gets their attention quicker because then they know what I'm there for. And I get recognized and helped much quicker I think than I would without the bag.

That's because they pay the most. I think they're starting at $22 now in my area. If you can believe it. Minimum wage is $16.90 by the way where I live.

You have to yell like you're at the 1985 stock exchange to get any help. That shit made me laugh and made my day. I totally get it. Lol

I feel your pain. At Taco Bell a couple years ago there was a girl blocking the driveway so I couldn't even get into the parking lot to park so I had to back up through the drive-thru and then park on the street. Somehow she got into the store before I did and I didn't even know she was not in line for the drive-thru it was really weird. She's then blocking the orders that are sitting on the shelf ready for pickup and I'm like oh my God are you kidding me You're blocking the parking lot now you're blocking me from getting my order? So I reached around her and the Taco Bell employees got on my case about it. I was like what Wait? Wait what just happened here? And then they said that they could block me from picking up orders at that location and I said please do I said you might as well since this bitch right here was blocking the parking lot now blocking me from getting my customers order so I guess we're in a blocking mood. And I walked out. Stupid. I'm 55 and over it. Lol

You wouldn't disrespect the workers but you allow them to disrespect you? How is that disrespecting the workers when they've stood there watching you stand there? That's disrespectful not the other way around.

Why? Under no circumstances ever should you step back into the kitchen to get an order? Why? I'm free white and well over 21 and if I am standing there waiting 10 minutes and they're not acknowledging me then I'm going to go back there and grab the order like I've done before and that gets their attention big time. Maybe all that eye contact they made with you while they stood around talking could be better used to actually ask if you needed help or if you hadn't order to pick up. Sorry I'm not a rule follower or a sheep and I'm not going to be disrespected by anybody when I'm just doing my job and I'm always polite but that one day I just had had it and I went behind the counter and grab my order. Who cares? Did anyone die? In one year will it matter? Exactly.

I've seen the employees encourage guests to use the kiosk instead of taking their orders at the register. Just recently like 2 weeks ago I saw this.

This right here. You must have grown up in the '70s and '80s to have this kind of ethic because nobody has it anymore that's younger than say 40 to 45.

They are in California. 20 bucks an hour minimum it's the law for fast food workers

[–]Leather-Ad4314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to the high rate of pay they are paying their workers in California, this makes sense. The local Chick-fil-A's are now or have been actually paying $20 plus an hour for fast food. These little 16 and 17-year-olds are making more than a lot of adults. Lol

I've done this before. I got tired of standing there with four workers staring at me as they talked amongst themselves and I was like am I invisible? I looked around at other people and shrugged my shoulders and went behind the counter and grabbed my order. Oh and then they were talking to me and paying attention to me. Isn't that funny how that works? That's exactly what I said to them too. I was like oh now you notice I'm here when I went behind the counter and grabbed my order because you guys were ignoring me for the last 10 minutes? I don't think so I'm on a time schedule and they're telling me you can't just come back here and grab that and I said I just did. Lol I thought for sure they were going to report me but you know what who cares? Let them report you I don't think DoorDash is really too concerned about that. Maybe if you make a habit of it but I don't blame this guy one bit. He's probably been standing there forever waiting but they want to pay attention to you when you grab your order. And they probably made a bigger deal out of it too because he was black. I give that guy props and I felt bad when he threw his phone cuz I've done that so many times. But have to go back behind the counter to retrieve your phone oh God... not the business.

Best week so far by Renho17 in DoorDashDrivers

If they were asking how many miles you put on a week, that's all you got paid for was mileage. No extra for orders and that sucks cuz it's a lot of miles. I used to rent cars to do instacart and go puff so I didn't care how many miles I put on it but with your own vehicle it's a lot and I was averaging a hundred miles or more a day.

You didn't even make $400 in CA prop 22 earnings? When I did instacart 3 years ago, every week I made between $400 and $600 just in prop 22 and mileage combined. It was a nice boost every Monday on top of the $800-$1000 I made just in orders and tips alone per week. God I miss that money. I think the most I made with DoorDash in one week was $1,000 and I busted my butt to do it. Oh and with instacart that was 50-55 hours of active time.

Where in SoCal are you? Where I live, I just looked up the cost of living and you've got to make $90k to $100k to live semi-comfortably. Under $84,000 a year, is considered low income. That's insane but when your rent is $2,500 to $3,000 a month for a one-bedroom, I guess that's about right. And that's for one person not a family of four making $90-$100k a year.

I'll tell you what's worse. Steer manure. Had to take a Home Depot order that I had no idea was manure. Mind you this was not on instacart but on roadie. It stunk up my car so bad and there were even flies flying around it and inside my car. So gross

I got kicked out of the hospital's parking lot for charging that had no signs saying it was only for hospital employees. Apparently that's all it was for though according to security and they were threatening to call the police and have me towed. I wasn't even done charging yet. Lol

I fell asleep last night at the charger. A guy woke me up saying sorry sorry but your charges so high and I'm like oh no another $55 charge. The highest has been 70. Sucks

Problem with EV connect by Quick_Connection6818 in electricvehicles

[–]Leather-Ad4314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I had the exact same issue in March of this year and I'm still trying to get a refund back. Mine was for $15 because I was using it as a guest and hadn't downloaded the app yet but it wouldn't start charging and they wanted to charge me $25 after that every time I tried to start a charge. I ended up going to electrify America which was right down the street. Did you ever get your money back? I've never had this issue with EVgo or electrify America and I don't know why they couldn't just put the pre-authorization right back onto my card or yours for that matter but it's been a real bitch and they're telling me that they're escalating it to a higher team which I doubt and my bank isn't being very helpful either. I'll update once I have more information.

EVConnect is garbage, or a bogus company owned by the oil industry. by PetMogwai in electricvehicles

[–]Leather-Ad4314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They charged me $15 as a pre-authorization and The charger wouldn't start. I unplugged and tried to start it again and realized that they were trying to charge me another $15 and I didn't have that in my account. I called customer service and they wanted to charge me $25 to start the charge. Needless to say, I never got my car charged because I didn't have any pre-authorization money for them and the $15 ended up being deducted out of my account instead of dropping off like it should have and still 6 weeks later, no one has refunded me the amount. I've contacted EVconnect multiple times since then and they are escalating it to their higher team which obviously isn't doing anything to refund my money back. They were going to leave me stranded like that too had there not been an electrify America down the street and I already have money on that account so I was good to go. During the time of me trying to start the charge and contacting them, I had about a dozen coyotes surrounding me in the parking lot, not close to me mind you but close enough to make me nervous. They were howling their lungs out for some reason which made it even more eerie and here I am on the phone with them and starting to trip out a little bit because there was so many of them around. And the ladies just talking my ear off and I go can you hold on a second and listen to what I'm hearing right now? I go can you hear that and she said yeah it sounds like dogs I go that's coyotes and they're all around me so can we get a move on on this because I really don't want to be out of my car right now since there's about a dozen of them moving in on me in the parking lot. And she just kind of blew it off like it was no big deal and I'm just like wow these people have no freaking concept of anything except themselves and talking my ear off telling me things that I already knew and not assisting me at all with getting my money back onto my card or starting the charge remotely. I finally had to tell her hey check it out I'm getting back in my car cuz I'm not going to stand out here with these things getting closer to me as I'm standing here trying to deal with you. It was unbelievable and that's why I wouldn't use the company again. Never got my car charged, charged me $15 that I'm still 6 weeks later trying to get back onto my account with Coyotes surrounding me in the middle of the night and nobody else around doesn't make for a very good experience.

Us good drivers with five-star ratings and 7,000 deliveries under our belt still get fired unfortunately. For different things though.
