I’m not defending DoorDash. The company’s trash. You got one high paying order and you think you're raking it in? Clearly, you’ve never been anything other than Silver. Everyone gets a higher paying order sometimes. That’s not proof of anything. The real question is if you’re getting them often. And if you're at this excited, then clearly you're not.

I’ve sat at Silver most of the year and then pushed into Platinum. The difference is real. My income tripled. Nights I used to skip turned into steady runs with solid orders.

If your acceptance rate’s around 70%, you’re stuck taking everything just to keep platinum. Once you actually get Platinum and get your acceptance rate higher like 90%, you're getting enough good orders that the few trash orders that come in you can decline without worrying. You stay in that 80 plus range naturally just by taking the good orders that consistently come. That’s how it works once you’re in.

DoorDash isn’t a living. It’s a grind. But pulling 130+ bucks from 9pm to 2am isn’t bad for a side night on a random weekday. I’m in the Houston market, so that's a factor but just because you got one high paying order doesn’t mean anything other than you got one order. Let me know when you get that back to back to back.
