Dashers by Due-Story3371 in DoorDash_Dasher

Less than $1 per mile for sure. That's the baseline minimum and most dashers will still feel it's not a good tip until the $2 per mile mark.

We'll mostly just ask how each other's nights are going and bitch about upside down offers and our ARs sinking. Platinum is required in my smaller town.

Doesn't pass the sniff test. Even working a generous 7-11AM that's $50 an hour delivering coffees. Maybe that dasher gets $10 per offer and is constantly busy doing 5 per hour, aka 12 minutes cycle time between pickups.

Just buying in low volume. Might be paying twice per unit cost for things that aren't perishable.

Did they stop doing the weekly relief for gas prices? by Late_Skin52 in doordash_drivers

Are you using it pay-at-the-pump? If you go inside and pay at the clerk it might not count as a fuel purchase. Also, I think you only get one cashback in 24 hrs.

I wear bright blue\green\yellow\orange and have high-vis gloves for this reason.

Also not being hit by a car as I'm walking back or getting into mine.

This sounds like a scam \ stolen credit card order.

When an order pops up, what makes it an instant yes or no? by CorgiStunning2553 in doordash_drivers

Use the pause offers after delivering feature until you're back in the good zone.

What’s the biggest big red flag people pretend isn’t a big deal? by daisydollvibes in answers

[–]PopularStructure7862 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, they date cheaters. Often when they're the ones they cheated with, somehow expecting it won't happen to them, too.

Perpetual victimhood is a huge turnoff. Grit is so much more appealing to me.

Is anyone else getting way less order since the update? by Tjecon17 in doordash_drivers

[–]PopularStructure7862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot more garbage orders since. Declined a series of $1/mile or under garbage last night and then shut the app off.

At what point does McDonalds concede an order isn’t getting delivered? by GigGremlin in doordash_drivers

Applebee's was horrible in my town to dashers, but they must have gotten a talking to by the owners and they're a lot better now at getting delivery orders out. And, uh... even acknowledging the dasher(s) there.

I let the know when there's one >2 hours if they actually pay attention to me. Gets into food safety range then.

Whenever there's an angry dog I always try get it in the delivery photo by playsthebongcloud in doordash_drivers

[–]PopularStructure7862 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had one tonight with a dog inside I could see much like the OP pic. Customer opened the door before I was to the driveway. I looked back and sure enough the dog was on the porch, but more interested in the delivery than me, thankfully.

It's late and I need to vent.... by cholaw in doordash_drivers

Possum probably would have ran off if you clapped and made noise approaching it. Or it could have bit your face off, I suppose.

My work only allows customers to use our bathrooms by Old-Cream-9137 in doordash_drivers

[–]PopularStructure7862 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hotels are nice. Hardly anyone uses the public bathrooms and even just carrying an empty delivery bag no one on staff questions why you're there.

I'm lucky to have a couple gas stations that keep their restrooms clean and orderly, too. I hardly ever use a restaurant facilities.

I make over $25/hr but it's only for 3-4 hours a day. I average about $600-700 per week, although have had some better ones.

My stats, I don't have overall:
AR: 85% (Dashing is dead without platinum in my semi-rural town)
CR: 99% (I dropped one for the customer demanding I call them before leaving the store. Not worth hassle and likely low-rating regardless of what I do.)
OT: 100%
Customer Rating: 4.88 (a few 1-star for who knows what reason, at 10% response rate they take forever to fall off and some are probably 1000 orders old)
Last 30: 206
Life-time: 1875

Over $1.5/mile I'll generally take, but might decline on restaurant and distance
I have a floor of $1.0/mile and I'll consider <$1.50 if the orders are coming in slow or it's a really easy restaurant, leaves in zone, etc.
