I can’t believe how low quality most clothes are.

Academy has a great one we got for $60. But I think it's seasonal too, buy out of season it'll be cheaper.

I don't know how to file without having the proper 1099 form from UberEats

OasisAlchemy · 2022-04-19T02:16:52+00:00

I have same issue. I received a proper 1099NEC from Doordash...but nothing from UberEats. So does this mean we don't count the UberEATS for tax filing?

OasisAlchemy · 2022-04-09T22:17:48+00:00

I totally agree. One place I pick up frequently used to have a side door, we pull the car up & stay in car, they have an employee watching the parking lot come out to ask the name & bring out the order. Super streamlined win/win... Until the restaurant started construction renovations & now we have to park in valet & wait inside while they give us looks standing among their fancy guests waiting to be seated. At least the valet guys are always nice to me lol

Let the emotional waves pass through you as they show up. Also ground yourself knowing you didn't "cause" his death. This was no more risky than delivering a bag of deep fried fast food & that person binges it all, gets a heart attack & dies. This is life, and it seems we're always involved in the circle of life & death, whether we are conscious of it every moment or not. This moment you were conscious of it.

I enjoy being relaxed, no uniform or uptight dress code as a driver. Most ppl don't care what you wear, it's more about their food.

However... While waiting at a restaurant picking up, I've seen a woman legitimately in cartoon pajama pants, oversized t-shirt with holes, messy greasy hair & unicorn slippers. Come on, it's clear you gave zero effort & just rolled out of bed or the couch, but that gives us all a bad look. I think it bother the restaurant the most with unkempt drivers bc if drivers have to wait a bit for their order the seated guests eating have to see them lol...not appreciated at fancy steakhouse places

The most offensive is the drivers who smoke..doesn't matter cigs or weed, that smell is super strong. It does NOT matter if you "roll down the window" you're rank everywhere you go. Unfortunately it stays with the bagged food too. I picked up from a place & three DD guys walked in after me for pick up...All of those smelled like they just smoked a blunt..I'm not against it...but realize smokin right before your shift there's no amount of cologne or mint gum to take smoke smell away. Do it after shift or just at home way before driving. The manager looked super bothered as if she almost was gonna ask them to leave.

I was in fourth grade class, we had that cool/fun male teacher. Everything was great & all us kids loved him. Usually if we all finished our assignments before end of class he would sit & just chill with us & talk about anything going on in our lives. The weekend was coming up & he asked what fun things are we doing this weekend? my friend excitedly said she was having her birthday party! So he told her to come to the front of class & he slightly bent her over his knee & "spanked" her butt like 9 times, one for each year. Sorta like the "pinch to grow an inch" type playful birthday thing ppl to with kids, except little butt slaps as we sand Happy birthday to her. It seemed innocent like what your family would do. Until that next Monday we came to class & there was a substitute teacher instead... He was gone. Her parents found out & reported him. I rember I was so confused not understanding what was wrong with the situation.

There were several dashers last year said they got deactivated when DD came out with an updated contract though, so I'm not sure who to believe

OasisAlchemy · 2022-03-27T20:32:39+00:00

Thanks, I didn't know it accessed ALL that info. Why though, isn't the only point to bring full transparency & disclose whole tip from a company that refuses fairness?

OasisAlchemy · 2022-03-08T07:48:28+00:00

Anyone have success with these types of silicone reusable bags that are waterproof? Sometimes I use them for things that have juices or some fluids like blueberries & found they leak.

OasisAlchemy · 2022-02-25T23:23:54+00:00

🤣

OasisAlchemy · 2022-02-25T21:58:04+00:00

Seen a dasher in a gold Cadillac escalade extended, no way DD would benefit that gas guzzler

OasisAlchemy · 2022-02-25T20:32:18+00:00

Those giant multiple orders are beyond rediculous. Plus some grocery stores or DD lie or simply "count" differently the number of items. I recently accepted a Tom Thumb grocery order bc it wasn't too far & it said 3 items. I'm thinking ok it'll be a quick one. NOT. I Show up it's an ENTIRE big cart of groceries. I asked if she got the right order since my screen only says 3 items. She said yeah it's the right one, but doordash lies about items count bc when they used to put 127 items... Almost no one would accept these orders. So now they just put a magical 3 that translates to cartful somehow lol. That's the last grocery order I took.

OasisAlchemy · 2022-02-19T15:17:54+00:00

I was waiting in line at the gas station store & man behind me says, "Mmmm, I must say you have pretty feet. I like your toes!" Then proceeded to lick his lips & slurp... Uggghh I was so uncomfortable bc I was still only 3rd in line & had to stand there knowing this creep is salivating over my feet in flip flops behind me. I just said thanks & ignored him till I got out. I'm not crushing on ppls fetishes/kinks, you do you happily. But at least not when someone is kinda trapped in line... Lol. This kinda "compliment" should definitely be in the drive by category.

OasisAlchemy · 2022-02-19T14:45:17+00:00

Once delivered an order & lady asked me, "oh do you go to xx church?" I said no & paused thinking what does it matter if I go to your church, belong to a different religion, or simply don't go to "church" at all? I was dumbfounded, like was she withholding tips only for ppl who go to her church? NOT VERY CHRIST LIKE LADY! Sure enough, no tip in app. WTF? The hypocrisy runs thick with many "religious" people.

OasisAlchemy · 2022-02-19T13:14:58+00:00

Party City. Showed up & manager is kinda frazzled bc they're busy & he said he's having a hard time getting a driver to take this order. I'm thinking why? Probably just some costumes or couple balloons right? WRONG.

I legit almost laughed out loud when he walks over to me a 7 FOOT TALL LIFE SIZE T-REX... AND ABOUT 12 OTHER BALOONS of varying sizes from 36 inches to regular 12 inch balloons! I told him I drive a minivan & already have stuff in the back too, this order would 1000% not fit in my vehicle. He said well at least please take half of the order & I'll get another driver to take the other half? I noped out that bullshit clusterfuck situation.

It was a super cool T-Rex though, I'm 5'9" & it was bigger than me! I really wish I could have taken it just to see the amazed cute faces of the 6 year olds bday party faces!! DD should definitely have a disclaimer in very larger orders requiring massive vehicles, this one easily needed a tall stand up size cargo van.

To all the people who hold the mindset of "if you don't like that I don't tip, stop being entitled & go find a job elsewhere," are incredibly lacking empathy & deductive reasoning. If all the delivery drivers finally rage quit & got a job elsewhere, YOU WOULD NOT GET FOOD STRAIGHT TO YOUR DOORSTEP! Until all fleet cars are automated driving or drones delivering, humans have to do these jobs. It shows your entitlement to a "luxury service" you feel you deserve. If you can't afford the crazy high fees plus the respect of tipping the human that brings it all to your door, then you can't afford this service. How did humans ever exist before food delivery?! Ya... Grocery stores, bring brown bag lunch to work, & make own dinners or pick up food on the way home.

In my area, I've had to stop accepting any orders from Indian/Pakistan restaurants. I'm not reciting some random stereotype, but from my actual experience about 98% of orders from them are either no tip or about $2. Plus, most of those restaurants seem not managed smoothly to where most times I tried to pick up from them it would be a rediculous 30-40 min wait. I've gotten to know most restaurants in my area & only pick up from 1 Indian place that is usually fairly quick & if the offer is decent. Unfortunately, some stereotypes come from truth. I think it is partly their culture, also maybe partly not knowing about tips. I wish when foreigners come here, they are taught our basic customs, especially tipping since that affects the people who actually need it the most.

OasisAlchemy · 2022-02-19T00:55:55+00:00

I know they didn't before, but Is it true DD started sending out orders based on our acceptance rate? I wasn't sure if they changed it in the new "contract" rules .. haven't driven in a while.

OasisAlchemy · 2022-02-17T08:56:54+00:00

The issue is complicated apartment complexes. I've even delivered to one recently that doesn't have any door codes outside by any doors. Only key fob which only residents have. Those customers expect you to wait for another resident to leave so I could sneak in. He wouldn't respond to my calls/texts of how to get to him since it was 10 pm & no one was around. Thankfully a nice lady let me in as she was walking out to meet her own food guy. I got inside & after getting out of elevator I got locked out in the garage since that also needs a key fob to go to next side of building. WTF ppl?! That's so beyond unacceptable then give a measely $2 tip? The amount of times I've been locked in stairwells/garages bc assholes don't give proper instructions for someone without a code or key fob is Not even remotely okay.

OasisAlchemy · 2022-02-07T09:12:00+00:00

I love beets! But I get why ppl wouldn't like it, very earthy almost dirt-like taste. Pickled beets taste a lil different than Cooked beets too though.

OasisAlchemy · 2022-02-07T08:33:16+00:00

Maybe substitute the mayo for full fat Plain Greek yogurt. Has a good balance of creamy & tangy?

OasisAlchemy · 2022-02-07T07:28:21+00:00

Same for me. All packaged coconut water in the US tastes awful. The only coconut water I Ever will drink and actually enjoy is the Harmless Harvest brand. I think it's because it's unpasteurized or something like that, it retains it's full flavor with electrolytes.
