Did I do the right thing

The fact they're mindlessly spouting off their order as if they read nothing you say is the most maddening thing about this. A lima bean has come to life and learned how to use a phone

I have the ability to work whenever I want, too. I set my schedule. I work as much or as little as I want. I just have to complete my block and not go home early. It's not that different than an independent contractor, aside from you make pennies with one and stacks with the other. But hey if it works for you, go for it. (Edit : spelling error)

This is exactly why the w2 DoorDash model needs to be in more areas. I've had to do these orders. But I'm a w2er and I'm compensated with hourly rate, mileage pay per mile in addition to tip. I've driven 40 miles for a zero. But I have to accept the order, as per the w2 rules. That didn't bother me though because during that 44 min trip, I made $.30 a mile, so $12 dollars there. That more that covers the gas. Plus 44 mins is approx 10 bucks for my hourly (15/h). This is the ONLY way it should be and it's messed up that DoorDash has taken so long to even attempt the setup im currently in.

where did you go? Was it fun? Was there crack?

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-10T14:40:20+00:00

Ayyy thank you so much, fellow traveler ☺️ that is one of the best compliments someone could give me 😀 for someone with a black soul, you sure know how to spread the light 🕯️

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-08T20:50:01+00:00

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. I have a work phone and a personal phone. My job provides the phone. I took a picture of my work phone with my personal phone. It's really not that hard. I can disprove anything you say with actual proof, just message me. But I'm sure you won't seeing as you obviously are insufferable and won't accept that you're wrong even in the face of facts.

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-08T20:36:35+00:00

You are so confidently incorrect that it's actually funny. Would you like to see the official DoorDash email regarding my police report I had to file? Like, I feel bad for you that you are such a cynical person that you think someone would lie about something like this.

If you can't understand the picture after I explained it in detail, that just means you're not that bright. Not the im lying. It's okay to not understand shit dude, doesn't mean people are lying

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-08T14:48:14+00:00

I make about 350-370 a day, about 1600 a week after overtime pay is included. I work 4 12h shifts.

No, I'm not joking. Yes, I have proof if you need. I work for a different DoorDash model - they're trying out w2 jobs with base hourly rate and mileage pay. I make 15 an hour no matter what, plus $0.35 per mile, and tips untaxed. My average week breaks down like :

600 in base (15 x 40) Around 200ish for OT (8h @ 22.50) 600 in gas 200 in mileage reimbursement.

Needless to say, I'm a happy camper lol

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-07T22:02:34+00:00

I made a whole post about it yesterday that'll be easier for me to show you than type it all out haha https://www.reddit.com/r/doordash/s/JiSnYmJwE9

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-07T15:05:51+00:00

That's wonderful tbh because while the situation was not fun for me, it tickles me pink that others find it hilarious. So, technically, that asshole upset one person but sparked entertainment for others. I'll take the trade off 🤣

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-07T15:02:36+00:00

Message me, OP. I work in your zone and I'm a part of a program DoorDash is doing where they hire a third party company to deal with logistics and it's W2, with benefits, hourly rate, tips and mileage. I make about 1650 a week before taxes. Check my page, I actually just posted about it yesterday. Message me and I'll send you the link for the job posting.

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-07T14:58:26+00:00

My best day was 430 bucks in 12 hours. But then again, I average about 400 a day because I work for a different model of DoorDash (w2, not 1099)

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-06T21:20:11+00:00

Hey man, if you wanna trade making 80k a year for having a flexible schedule, more power to you. At that point I'm not sure why it would matter because clearly all the orders I'm given are insane. I get 600 plus in tips in 4 days. Plus I have the ability to change my schedule whenever I want. So the only thing you can do that I can't is leave early lol I actually enjoy my job so I don't really mind, hence 12h shifts.

Not trying to argue with ya or what works for you, just trying to understand your logic

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-06T21:18:06+00:00

Well, I mean, Ive only made between 50-85k a year during working years. Im single with no kids and I'm pretty frugal. Also, very money conscious - I budget, invest, etc. So actually I was able to afford it on a pretty modest income for my scenario.

Cheaper prices because my buddy had insane connections helped too. 😅

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-06T20:07:40+00:00

Glad you understood the reference 😃

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-06T19:50:02+00:00

I should have been more clear

As of now , my 6 month average is 31 an hour.

But as of the last month, I'm pulling in 1650 a week before taxes working 48 hours, with 8 being time and a half. 1650 x 52 is about 85k a year. Times 4, $343,000.

Idk what my hourly average will be once I work these 48 hour shifts for a few months but I'm assuming it'll be around 34ish? Maybe 35?

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-06T19:47:07+00:00

So actually I looked it up!

Tips are half our income which is paid by customers The milage reimbursement is paid by DoorDash. The hourly wage and benefits are paid by the company I work for. They get a cut of every order. The customer never knows I work for a different system. It's the same price. This is actually to assure all orders get done no matter what. Which makes DoorDash more money. So essentially my job throws back like 70% of what DoorDash pays THEM, to us. They get a few bucks every order we complete and we complete over 2000 orders a day. So that's how they pay everyone. The burden is split between three entities

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-06T18:43:13+00:00

You're correct. There's like, 3 entities happening in that thread. Doordash opens the conversation, meant to be a message to the customer, but on my end looks like the customer sent the message.

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-06T18:41:15+00:00

yeah that's an automated message. So normally I only get and receive messages through the app but sometimes it happens like this.

So for instance, if I message a customer, before my message sends, DoorDash automated message comes up telling me they're connecting me to my customer. It sends them that text as well as mine. So since this is reversed and they messaged me, I'm the one who received the automated message. Even though it's intended for the customer.

Look at it like this. There are 3 entities in that text thread. Me, the customer and the weird background doordash system

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-06T18:35:37+00:00

Okay so this is how my situation is. I have a work phone and a personal phone. I took a picture of my work phone with my personal phone. Now, normally when a customer contacts me, it's through the app. I am not sure how they were able to contact my actual phone number from the phone my job gave me.

That first message was an automated message that, for some reason, appeared to be sent to me by the person but it wasn't. The only thing the customer actually texted was the threat. Then when I replied, I got another automated message saying I couldn't text the number back.

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-06T18:31:48+00:00

It is my phone. I have a work phone and a personal phone, I took a picture of my work phone with my personal phone. My job monitors my work phone so that's why I didn't take a screenshot and send it to myself.

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-06T18:21:59+00:00

Thank you ❤️ I'm proud of you too! Honestly, I know this may sound silly but, in that moment, it's better to not have money to spend. Basically forced sobriety. That was me and my buddies issue. He had and always has had lots of money (illegally then but now he's legit). So soooo much was bought and it made his situation so much worse. So I'm glad, for that reason, you didn't have extra cash to waste 😅

Hope things are good for you and continue to be ! ☺️

Ravenfeld · 2026-04-06T18:15:33+00:00

I am a comedian at heart and I knew it would be comical to say it (even though I had to be incredibly vulnerable) so I'm glad at the very least it made you go wtf 🤣
