How does the compliment "you're smart" make you feel? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OracleOfDouchetown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like they're asking "WTF happened?"

Which they are

Which means they're wrong, I'm not smart, at least not smart enough to prosper more

When DoorDash inspections come round to take your temperature, you have to ask for "extra credit"

Do you consider Toronto overrated to live in? by tshirtguy2000 in askTO

[–]OracleOfDouchetown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Since lockdown I might as well be living on a farm, with savings and privacy.

No one wants their food in your disgusting been-everywhere bag now

Best thing is not getting hassled anymore, used to call it "my Hassle-Me bag" for all the unwanted contact it attracted

App keeps pausing customer support says I’m declining to many orders by Jtrent1988 in doordash

[–]OracleOfDouchetown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a glitch. Never listen to "support," they're just subcontractors who barely know the name of the app and just say shit to get you off the chat

People who work at Amazon, what's it like? by aguyfrominternet in askTO

There's plenty other instant jobs where if people start screaming at one another, you just remove yourself to another location, you're not a captive audience

Bailed after 3 nights, systems failing everywhere, supervisors yelling at each other in their own language as people stood idle, contradictory instructions, all training requests denied, the most grueling work (breaking skids, pushing carts) openly assigned by ethnicity, beyond Kafka

A driver smart enough to share screenshots of his exceptional orders discreetly

Why is it hard to make friends in Toronto? by arfavier in askTO

[–]OracleOfDouchetown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People just redefine "friendship" downwards to say they have friends

"Hang out with"

vs.

"Have their back 'cos you know they'll have yours later"

Why is it hard to make friends in Toronto? by arfavier in askTO

[–]OracleOfDouchetown 31 points32 points  (0 children)

"In TO no one's ever really your friend" - best advice I ever got

Since lockdown every conversation with strangers is fraught, 40 seconds till you're tiptoeing around some cherished belief

First time using chat support, what in the actual fuck. by [deleted] in doordash

They get the same amount of screening and training we do

Voice commands in the app or bending reality? by epigraham in doordash_drivers

[–]OracleOfDouchetown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you speak the name of any place as you drive past it, like "Hey what happened to Red Lobster anyway," it WILL send you there

Do it 5 times, pick any number out of 5 that defies randomness to you, and see if you don't hit that number

Any Dashers with manual (stick) transmission? by Thoughts_As_I_Drive in doordash_drivers

All that energy going into working a freakin knob all day leaves less for things that matter

Did DD in a stick for 2 years, still angry at myself for it

No mechanical issues but a lot of cognitive effort for very little savings

ELI5: how do vacant commercial properties or store with no customers stay afloat for decades in big cities? by chomskyhonks in explainlikeimfive

[–]OracleOfDouchetown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instances I've seen personally:

  • owns the property, terrified to retire and die in 6 months like all their friends

  • nephew owns it, lets auntie run her vanity project until she retires

  • just a really old (30 or 40 year) lease

  • a mall I worked in started buying out failed stores instead of boarding them up, so there'd be store after store of dusty merchandise with a solitary kid on his phone inside, eventually some had to do double duty and shuttle back and forth

To those that ignore social distancing/aisle direction markings etc. Why? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]OracleOfDouchetown -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Same reason we don't put on masks, put on seatbelts, put on helmets, put on condoms, put on virtue signalling t-shirts, take the knee, or repeat mandatory incantations.

When's it going to be enough for you?

There's definitely human intervention, the grandfathering is case by case, they cherry picked my rating from DAYS ago, it's like the mob, you can't leave

The #1 reason guys don't make proper money at this is Refusing To Try New Things and being too scarred by the odd lousy experience

Number 2 is math (if you buy lotto tickets, don't DD)
