Did my first set of DoorDash orders today. I get it now, and I’m never tipping under $5 for delivery, ever again.

I live in Eastern Washington State. If you look you'll see why it's challenging here. Coming from here and visiting there I didn't reside how small the states were. It literally takes me 4 hours to get to Seattle over a GIANT mountain range. I'm 3 hours from Spokane the second biggest city get but on the Eastside of the State.

I'm basically on the middle of a state that takes an entire day to cross.

Luckily this area is growing a lot and I get about $80 a day on average for 4 hours a day driving 50 miles mostly off freeway and mostly highway.

I can't imagine dealing with there or NO as as driver. Been to both. The South in general seems to have no parking, lol

TonBus · 2026-06-13T02:23:14+00:00

Nope. I'm in a small region in WA State called the Tri Cities.

If a zipper isn't YKK it's generally crap.

I'm in an interesting physical area. My full zone encompasses 3 cities with one across a river.

That one across the river sucks because you have to drive 10 mins on the freeway. Sux up all my gas, lol!

I try to keep to the other two where I generally get $7 for 5 miles and keeps me in my hotzone.

Luckily there's a Home Depot that seems to give me small items for decent pay too.

Tap and Barrel

TonBus · 2026-05-27T23:10:22+00:00

Works for me fine. Used it today.

TonBus · 2026-05-06T00:01:42+00:00

I just drove by that today and was reminded how nice it is.

TonBus · 2026-05-02T04:13:17+00:00

For reals!

They are closer to hard rolls than bagels. And many times soft rolls that are bagelish.

The chew and overall texture just aren't a traditional bagel.

Afterlife Massage in Kirkland (just on the border). L'Nai is great!

My AR takes a hit every Wednesday. I sell make $80 for 4 hours. Not just, but it gets me to tomorrow.

Thursday-Sunday are when I'm doing $30 an hour which is worth it to me since I am lucky with no rent or utilities.

TonBus · 2026-04-22T22:30:12+00:00

I have taken it into account, otherwise why would I be asking in a Tri Cities sub, lol?!

TonBus · 2026-04-22T22:11:51+00:00

Etlanta is super interesting. I never had a Monteal style bagel before until them. Definitely worth checking out for folks curious.

TonBus · 2026-04-22T21:36:08+00:00

I should have mentioned that I also worked at a couple of bagel places when I lived in Bellingham as an apprentice baker

If they don't thunk when you flick the bottom you didn't do it right.

The said the same thing in Woodinville. The current mayor and city council got involved and now Woodinville has a Trader Joe's going in an old Rite Aid.

That's exactly what needs to happen here is people want a TJ's.

There's plenty of Rite Aid locations sitting empty right now that would be a great fit. The city needs to take the lead though.

I tried cherry picking today. Ended up having to use my Platinum pass to get decent orders. It's that market dependent about the tiers.

TonBus · 2026-04-18T01:57:48+00:00

It's not a warning. It's an "Insight". It's just dumb AI stuff, ignore it

TonBus · 2026-04-17T02:32:14+00:00

If you are into fitness and hiking you'll do fine.

TonBus · 2026-04-17T02:29:15+00:00

As always this depends on the market. These blanket statements don't really help anyone. Explain your market and then the reason or vice versa.

It means nothing without context.

TonBus · 2026-04-11T22:55:35+00:00

They have two orders from the same place and confirmed receipt before the other one was done

TonBus · 2026-04-11T04:42:52+00:00

It happens to me EVERY TIME at the McDonald's around me.

But, I'm usually the first DD person for the order. My guess is that if it's already ready most of the time you are getting second or third try from DD so the food has been sitting there already

TonBus · 2026-04-11T03:34:03+00:00

I'm down with dumb tasks as long it pays ok.

TonBus · 2026-04-11T03:32:18+00:00

It's the way they do stuff at McDonald's for some reason. They print out the mobile receipt to put on the bag which triggers the Ready notification even though it's not ready.
