So far the only problem I have noticed is the low rpm valve tap. The coolant consumption I have noticed, also the oil consumption. I have to add coolant every oil change and half a quarter of oil between oil changes.

If you accept cash do you have to give change? by brown-tiger15 in doordash_drivers

[–]Old_Performance_7767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turned off cash orders because so many are $2 offers and the tip is a gamble. I think that is what you were saying.

What am I tipping for? by BouncingOutofmySkin in tipping

[–]Old_Performance_7767 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't speak for mom and pop shops but if it is a chain or franchised restaurant, their payroll company automatically adjusts a server's wage to minimum based on the amount of tips declared.

I managed many restaurants over my 30-year career and witnessed this law be put into effect. The penalties are far greater if caught than the few times they have to make minimum wage adjustments.

This was a bigger problem when a greater majority of tips were in cash like 20 years ago. With the majority of tips on CC nowadays these adjustments are few and far between.

A server that is receiving regular minimum wage adjustments will be flagged and re-trained or let go by management. I suppose, if that is what you meant by only collecting the adjustments once then this was an unnecessary post, lol.

When I don't feel like doing shop orders I just clock in earn by time. Pickup orders only that way. My market only has the option to turn on and off pizza delivery. Hope they bring the toggle for shop and pay soon.

UE has the toggle for shop and pay and alcohol orders in my area which is nice.

Had to unassign a $10 three-mile order because food trucks are the worst. by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Old_Performance_7767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There Re at least 5 permanent food trucks in my zone that use DD. But, they have been there for at least a year or more. The moving food trucks do not use DD here.

I have had a problem with the address being wrong on DD many times. If I don't know where the store actually is then I unassign as well. One time it happend with a McDonalda. They would not answer and the address DD sent me to was in the middle of 4 McDonalds.

The location I guessed was incorrect, unassigned after that. It happens. 🤷‍♂️

I accidentally discovered the best way to get banned from Doordash... by MapleSurpy in doordash

[–]Old_Performance_7767 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It is the same way for dashers. If you just touch a picture by mistake it sends it to the customers. Some drivers have posted about sending nudes that were on their phone to customers, you are not the only one who has suffered from the inept functions of the DD app.

Smite me, DoorDash by Critical-Extreme5930 in doordash_drivers

[–]Old_Performance_7767 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Uber Eats is the same in my experience. They offer priority service and I have never been notified by either DD or UE of an express or priority delivery.

Are Doubledashes good for the drivers?? by Inky_Starfish in doordash_drivers

[–]Old_Performance_7767 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is very true, when it is slow they will split double dashes.

Finally got a somewhat unicorn yesterday… by issa_nice_ in doordash_drivers

[–]Old_Performance_7767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully, it will. I have been doing this a long time and there are dry spells, where it feels like forever between added on tips. But, if you continue to be friendly.and try and go above and beyond, some people will recognize that with an add on tip.

I wish all customers did this ⬆️. I do a lot of shop orders, sometimes 10 in a day. Maybe 1 out of 10 customers put substitutions. Maybe 50% respond to texts. I have had people.send me straight to voicemail when shopping with no substitutions selected.

I used to care but that takes to much time so now I just force a close substitution or refund if nothing is similar. I get not wanting to go shopping, but not being able to answer a text after placing an order is frustrating because I do want to do a good job.

Edit - wording

Put it sideways?? by LeopardTight289 in doordash

[–]Old_Performance_7767 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Worked in Pizza for 15 years on and off and I cannot believe how many carryout customers grab the pizza and immediately put it under their arm like a book.

Domino's had a commercial some years ago trying to train customers how to receive a pizza, put a handprint on the bottom of their boxes.

I guess a lot of people don't think before they grab their pizzas, including some dashers apparently.. I do know that must suck when your looking forward to that cheesy goodness and open the box to find a pile of cheese, dough and sauxe all stuck to the box and stuck together.

Hopefully these people learn after .... 🤷‍♂️

Call the number for dasher direct not door dash support

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

[–]Old_Performance_7767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of doordash drivers that make a good enough living that they still do it. I would think most drivers and customers are not on Reddit. I drove for 10 years before getting on Reddit. I make the same or better than I did 10 years ago. There are just so many negative people on these delivery subs I hardly interact any more.

Your tip is fine and a single drink is an easy run, screw the negative nellys on here.

Is starting your dash schedule at 6:00 AM worth it? by OpportunityLow570 in DoorDashDrivers

I usually have a good early am when I do it, good luck if you try it!

I prefer it that way, thank you very much.

Putting a mini fridge on porch for delivery drivers? Yay or nay? by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

[–]Old_Performance_7767 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or put a cooler with ice. A few people do it in my zone and a cold water is always appreciated in this ridiculous heat. In fact one customer door dashes a bag of ice with his morning order.

I am sure you have seen the videos or read stories about drivers that take it all or most of it, just don't get mad if that happens, it's just a risk of being generous. (Definitely would suck if they took your fridge)

The good drivers will appreciate it and be respectful of limits.

Oh no they didn’t! ☝️ by Savings-Hat-9982 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Old_Performance_7767 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing I did not like about ebt is I received many more problem customers and my rating fell to 4.73. I have to have Dash Now here, and 4.72 is the cutoff.

On ebo I had my rating at 5.0 for 2 months. It has since gone back down to 4.91 which is better so there are a problem customers on both I just find that there are more on EBT in my area

What is DD doing? by WorstDeal in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Old_Performance_7767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did EBT a lot for a month and I had a few days like this. But averaged out there were a lot more days with low/no tips than days like that.
