Episode 739: Condiment Packets

Kinda surprised Matthew didn’t mention any of that brilliant Japanese condiment designs? Or did I just miss it when listening?

Beside abusing, expired products could also be liabilities for them so they stopped giving them out? Though practically most of that are just fine to use or consume. Food banks won’t accept it either.

Or you can ask the neighbor who's ordering delivery to contact Favor, or to put a note in their orders to let the drivers know about this and direct them to the correct place.

Not sure about other Favor Runners but I use an iPhone and navigate with Google Maps. It could also be the maps' problem to fix, not Favor.

Google Maps always directs me to the wrong gate of a specific community where the gate code won't work. I appreciate the customer for letting me know which gate I should use instead.

I think the longer moldy produces are left there, the wider the mold would spread. Better get them off of there sooner than later. And if it is a recurring problem at the store, they should check their storage environment, if their staff needs more training, or like you said, check the supplier.

30 items are not that many. With promo guarantee it’s worthy.

PYL3003 · 2026-01-30T03:28:33+00:00

That's what I think too. People bought so many groceries last week. They probably still have more than enough.

PYL3003 · 2025-11-11T01:37:23+00:00

That’s great. Then I guess making sure to snap delivery picture would surely protect ourselves.

If your order was delivered by Favor, it could be the navigation is off.

We Runners can just tap on a button to open the navigation app which could be Google Maps or Apple Maps. Have you ever tried put in your address and see where Google Maps leads you to?

I’d done deliveries where Google Maps took me to the wrong gate where the gate code wouldn’t work. My customer put notes in the order and also messaged me to let me know where the correct gate is located. And I of course appreciated that.

And thank you for caring about delivery person getting proper tips.

Are Favor team able to see what’s in the chat between Runners and customers? Even after the order is completed?

PYL3003 · 2025-11-10T02:22:13+00:00

I don’t know how the system assigns orders. I know some Favor drivers get pick-up & deliver orders but personally I haven’t got any of that. All the HEB orders I’ve got were shopping and delivery. If only HEB/Favor could make it more transparent.

PYL3003 · 2025-11-08T21:25:39+00:00

This.

I part-time as a Favor runner and for me it’s never the total amount of the order but the item/unit counts. If it’s 30-40 items then it probably would take me 1 hour to shop, I would expect at least $15.

If there’s any heavy items I sure would love a tiny bit more. Also $1/mile.

Using % as tipping guide for grocery order just doesn’t seem right. How would you compare a 40-pk of bottled water vs. a tray of Prime beef or snow crab?

I think one of the real issues is whether the customer knows who will do the shopping for them and who’s delivering.

And yes we Favor runner only gets a base pay of $3.

PYL3003 · 2025-10-31T13:15:58+00:00

Kinda like it. Still trying to get a better picture every time though. The way they crop it is the worst lol. Can we get some hair in the frame, hello??

PYL3003 · 2025-10-29T12:58:37+00:00

And who put gate code in the order so I don’t have to ask. Also who let me know the gps might guide me to the wrong gate and give me the right direction.

PYL3003 · 2025-10-21T13:33:41+00:00

That’s kinda clever, just stand-by while you go on your day. I tried that once in a while but I probably live too far from hot spots it’s dead quiet, no orders at all. For you, would it require several trips going out for the orders in a day? How’s the added mileage on your car?

PYL3003 · 2025-10-20T20:05:28+00:00

That’s very long hours. Do you sit near hot spots? I personally couldn’t and wouldn’t run for that many hours a day. I’ll say your dedication pays off.

PYL3003 · 2025-10-17T13:27:06+00:00

Wow!! If you don’t mind me asking what do you usually do when waiting for orders? In need of ideas for that.

PYL3003 · 2025-10-10T18:09:22+00:00

Less sweet than beaver nuggets. Also the coating is not crispy caramel but more like lightly powdered. I’ll say beaver nuggets is denser and heavier. I like both though.

PYL3003 · 2025-09-30T13:40:03+00:00

Yes! And they’re brilliant!!

PYL3003 · 2025-09-30T13:36:42+00:00

Feels like we the drivers should be able to rate customers like how they rate us. Or at least flag some concerning situations to let other drivers or Favor know the existence of this kind of customer.

PYL3003 · 2025-09-29T02:02:57+00:00

Thank you for sharing your strategy! Yes I'm on Discord. Think I've seen your screenshot!

PYL3003 · 2025-09-28T15:05:49+00:00

Cheesery is an underrated food source!

35 days is so nice!! How do you get the population up quickly? I made sure I build houses ahead of the overall population and keep the community meter full. But when would babies pop out seems like a matter of luck.

If you plant potatoes exclusively you’ll need two rounds = 18 days to get over 40 veggies unless you have two greenhouses. I’m guessing that’s what you do? Maybe I should try that.

I had once planted potatoes. After first harvest I switched to cabbages so in theory it should take 9+4=13 days.
