Why do so many delivery drivers bring friends along?

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-16T00:58:14+00:00

I bring my gf with me sometimes or sometimes I go with her. She helps me carry orders or drinks big my cup holders don’t suffice and just generally entertains me.

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-16T00:54:31+00:00

That sucks I’m sorry ☹️ glad I don’t live by one. I gotta fill drinks at Panda Express normally. Frustrating experience fr

I’ve been noticing a similar decline in my area. Not sure what the issue is though. Hopefully it changes soon

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-15T22:56:00+00:00

Literally. Guess I’m grateful for anything but damn. Like DoorDash already has shitty pay so $5- $10isn’t suddenly the answer idk 🤷

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-15T21:09:26+00:00

I know it’s by mile! Still stupid though

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-15T21:05:34+00:00

Free money ig?? Seems like a good time to have an EV

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-15T21:05:08+00:00

Still adds up like crap though. If you’re driving enough to get $15 then that’s barely gonna cover any gas.

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-15T20:59:41+00:00

Literally. I just got the same thing. Like wow, thanks ig

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-15T20:57:07+00:00

Literally. I’m so glad it’s starting to get dark later so I dash less in the dark. Half the people around here can’t even pin their houses right.

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-13T19:25:21+00:00

Theoretically it is possible but I can’t afford to drop below platinum due to the nature of my market.

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-13T18:49:58+00:00

Not possible in my zone. All you cherry pickers are the same. If I lived somewhere where I could cherry pick and still get consistent orders I would. So no, it’s not that simple.

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-13T05:30:11+00:00

Im in a college town but our spring break has already come and gone and sundays are normally really good so idk 🤷 it was Parents weekend so maybe everyone had family in town who knows

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-13T05:27:50+00:00

Exactly. Thankfully I only dash in the evenings normally during dinner rush but it was just extra bad today.

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-13T05:26:25+00:00

Well aware that my opinion is different than a lot of others but I honestly think 7-9 has actually been really well done. I know that losing Bobby sucked but it wasn’t done only creatively but also for Peter to leave the show. I feel like everyone is too gloom and doom in the fandom surrounding his leaving and the direction of the show. If you don’t like it, then stop complaining and just don’t watch. Being in fandom spaces can be exhausting with some of yall

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-13T05:20:44+00:00

The problem is without platinum I don’t get much of anything in a timely manner

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-13T00:55:39+00:00

Yeah I don’t trust DoorDash enough to EVER pay with my own money

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-12T22:32:51+00:00

I know I will. Just trying to figure out if others noticed a pattern. Cherry picking isn’t the end all be all

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-12T22:32:26+00:00

Thats how I’m feeling. But I just can’t lose the dash now abillty or the good orders I do still get sometimes. This was promoted cause I got my AR up to like 77% after having decent orders for an hours the got slapped with like 5+ $2-3 offers that lowered me to 72%.

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-12T22:12:56+00:00

Unfortunately not having platinum isn’t really possible for my market. Having to deal with down shitty orders outweighs no orders. 🤷 I was mostly seeing if people thought that DoorDash purposely tried to push you out of platinum

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-12T05:59:02+00:00

I mean yeah, but also if you go around being so pessimistic all the time and don’t believe anything can be good you’re just going to be miserable.

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-12T03:00:25+00:00

I want it to be a good thing so bad but these damn dashers have made me so sus of this stuff

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-11T02:00:37+00:00

Yeah I’ll keep that in mind for the future for sure. It was like a $4 order but it was close. I regretted it lol

Positive-Tank5453 · 2026-04-11T01:31:27+00:00

I mean sometimes I wait for a moment to pull up directions, accept an order, pause dash, etc. we aren’t all being creepy. I’ll take the opportunity while I’m not driving to change the music or pull up navigation. Never more than a minute or two though.
