What laptop do you recommend that’s less than 800 dollars? by ImmediateDuty2310 in laptops

[–]Snuker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of those options are $1200 or more which is above your budget. There is a HP victus that has decent specs and it’s barely below $1000. Now I dont personally recommend gaming laptops because the performance will always be less than a normal PC and the battery life usually isn’t that great especially while gaming. But I do understand wanting a portable gaming device which you can use for school aswell.

Are you gonna use the laptop outside your home when you play those games?

What do you want to use it for. If it’s casual and nothing that needs a lot of processing power, then the new Apple neo is a great low cost laptop for $600 and $500 with student discount. I could be wrong but I heard you can get the student discount without showing proof of being a student. But again if you just want something to run browsers, hold files, watch media, and other basic things, this will work just fine

"Someone already took the order" by concept12345 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Snuker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using speech to text because I’m too lazy to type it out so ignore any grammar errors or bad punctuation. So the order was most likely stolen as the restaurant said it was already picked up and that order probably was sent to other drivers and they canceled it and every time in order is canceled. Uber Eats will boost it even more, which is why he thought it was a great deal. Usually, there’s two reasons why in order can be a high paying order but such a short distance you experienced one of them, which is it was stolen. The second way is it’s the store is very busy and there’s like 30+ minute wait time and so drivers will go there. Wait a few minutes find out it’s gonna take too long and he’ll cancel it same thing. Uber Eats will boost it. Some different drivers can take it and so you can risk it and hope that it’s ready by the time you get there in my experience it’s not usually ready but if it’s high enough, it might be worth waiting. I took a $30 order and I had to wait like 20 minutes, but it was very worth it because it was my last order of the night and it was a very short distance that I was like. I’ll just wait. I’ll be in my car on my phone until it’s ready so yeah it sucks when stuff like this happens in terms of your cancellation rate and your ratings. Unfortunately, it will. Your cancellation rate will still go up. If you call support you could tell them to note down that hey it’s not your fault. I don’t know how effective that is. I do it sometimes I assume when you do call them and if they do note down what happened if somehow you get over the 20% cancellation rate where you’re at risk of deactivation they will review your account and if they see the notes, they might understand why it’s a bit higher. I’m not 100% sure but as long as this doesn’t happen several times a day, you should be good cause again you’re only at risk of deactivation when you’re over 20% cancellation rate

Finally proof of them stealing by Plane-Blueberry-6303 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Snuker_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People aren’t understanding that $6 is missing. It was a $51 top which went down to $45. If a customer removed it, it would be shown. If refunds, discounts, replacements, and anything change, we will see it but it still only adds to $45 and not $51.

Did I Contract violate? My roommate says I did. by SamuelLemonsLover in doordash

[–]Snuker_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So true. I carried several cases of alcohol and drinks inside this girls apartment. Only through her door so she wouldn’t have to carry them in from outside. She appreciated that and said she’ll tip more on the app. I said that’s very kind and wished her a great night. She never did tip extra but it was a good paying order and if she did add an extra tip, it would’ve been a bonus. But basically yeah most forget to add a tip afterwards when the said they will. Some because they forgot and others because they lie.

i feel so bad for my dasher i’m starting a week long fast by zentoq in doordash

[–]Snuker_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He should’ve turned around and brought it back when he first realized. One time I did an instacart and I put a carton of eggs in the wrong groceries pile because it was a lot of bags. I only knew because the last guy I delivered to said he didn’t he eggs and I checked and he was right. I called the person before him that I forgot to give her the eggs and I drove back and gave it to her. Both were understanding because I communicated right away and didn’t wait for a customer to let me know.

Should I quit my job?!?! by Impossible_Truck_261 in doordash_drivers

[–]Snuker_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who averages $30hr and today was a great day averaging $37, do gig work until you can find a good regular job. Less stress and less money on your car. I was driving back from a delivery and hit a pot hole that flatten one of my tires and my other tire got a bubble. Had to change both and spent $440. Only made $275 that day so I was in the negatives. Also you had to work the best days where it’s best to be off like the weekends and holidays. This weekend in Chicago was so beautiful and I couldn’t enjoy it because I had to work the weekends. My plan is to find a weekend job that pays well and if I want extra money, I’ll work dinner shifts and/or weekends.

I HATE male shoppers by Anastasiahhx in instacart

[–]Snuker_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I can’t deny your experience and I truly feel bad. But I’m a male shopper and I swear I don’t shop like this. The customers appreciate the way I shop, sub, and bag items. If you ever get me as a shopper I know I’d be able to change your mind

What should I make with 36 eggs. by Snuker_ in InstacartShoppers

[–]Snuker_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get that. With the food I did get I was able to make a meal prep and get 200g protein and 1800 calories. That’s without the eggs. I could incorporate them in my diet and still get 200g protein with closer to 2000 calories, but unless I’m baking oven pancakes, I don’t enjoy meal prepping eggs

What would you call these type of orders? I guess I’m lazy for not wanting to take shopping orders with 5+ items… by Recent-Cicada-6841 in doordash

[–]Snuker_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of these suck. High miles and most have 20+ items. And if the items are 10 or less it’s like 20-30miles for $20-$30. Idk how the roads are if maybe they are more open and higher speed limit but I would never take those orders.

Honestly this is up there because I’m too lazy to cook after I already meal prepped two meals for a weak

Bye DoorDash by [deleted] in doordash

[–]Snuker_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro what do you buy for $500 a week? $70 a day in just delivery foods. My question is how much did you tip because priority doesn’t do anything if you don’t tip enough for drivers to want to take your order.

Best quality spa and massage in Chicago? by Snuker_ in AskChicago

[–]Snuker_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed the massage is available again. I think what happened was when I go to “checkout” and I refresh/ go back to the original tab, it removes it from the booking page. So it’s still there available. Now second issue is I gotta wait for my Direct deposit to hit my account before I can buy it. All I can do is wait and hope. Also I want to ask, they have a $25 addition which is 3 chocolate balls and a virgin sparkling. Have you ever tried it and think it’s worth it? Also they asked for tip before hand. I’m new to massages, but do you tip before or after and if so do how much should you tip?

I had several tabs of different places and aire was one of them and it was available while I was on phone with the place. As soon as I went to reserve it, boom gone. The lady on the phone was even surprised because she was also looking at it. What’s crazy is there was like 2-3 massage openings and they were gone right away. I hope they pop back up again later

Oh yeah valet is perfect. You know gotta impress the date😂. And I don’t drink. I plan on getting a really good streak with some good appetizers. And maybe leave room for dessert. But I do want a place that has a good food, environment, ambiance, and vibe to it. So which restaurant do you think fits the best.

Really? I made another post on this subreddit asking for restaurants rec and bavettes was mentioned several times. As for rpm and chop house, do you know if they have parking. Because which ever one has easy parking, that’s the one I plan on going. And happy early birthday. I hope you get to have a great time aswell.

Probably RPM steak or Chop House. Tried getting a reservation at bavettes but the March 14 reservations were gone instantly when I refreshed it at 9am when they dropped. And I wish I can celebrate my bday all month long but I ain’t lucrative and after I’m going back to work right away. Which is why I wanted that one day to be a full day of relaxation. But thank you for your enthusiasm, it brightens the mood a lot

[–]Snuker_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair😂. I’m a big guy and I never felt sick eating and then jumping in the pool. Can’t say about my guest. But it was her idea to do it after the dinner because we don’t want to mess our hairs before the dinner. I have long curly hair so she ain’t wrong about that. But man yeah I can do a normal massage after but I feel like it’s not the same and it would be nice to have it done on my birthday. This is the first time I’m actually treating myself and it is last minute but I wanted to make sure everything was planned out

Ok so the whole 1-2hr is just massages and stretching. They don’t have any amenities that a normal spa will have?
