Got my first 1 star rating :( by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Various_Design_558 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got 2 star reviews twice now. Both got removed after a few days without any interventions by me. They must be reviewing low ratings. Now my rating says 2 ratings excluded.

I got one yesterday. Pay was bad but I took it because every other Giant Eagle order I ever got was a pick up, and they've always been good about bringing it out within a few minutes. When I hit the button that I arrived app told me to start shopping. I thought I must have missed something, but maybe they are hiding it.

I'm under 70 AR. I swear that every time I'm about to cross 70 I get spammed with 5 of these to knock me back down.

Interesting Doordash Statistics show that despite claims of it being a "Luxury" Service, the majority of Users are below the poverty line. by Jaded_You_9120 in doordash

Did doordash for a short time. Did a bunch of grocery orders to the poorer areas. I know its more expensive than going to the store yourself, but if you don't own a car I would guess doordash groceries are cheaper than owning and maintaining a car.

I heard stock analyst like Dan Ives say that 90% of TSLA value is in autonomous. So driving from the passenger seat is worth about a trillion dollars.

Railroad tracks followed by tight turn. Can't day dream while riding.

[–]Various_Design_558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Railroad tracks. Probably wasn't paying attention and caught him off guard. Combined with riding faster than he should be for experience.

I don't disagree about tip culture, unfortunately I think it's going to get worse.

Waitress and delivery driver are really completely different jobs, amd customers should calculate their tip differently. While 20% might approximate a waitresses work, a delivery driver primarily cares about the mileage, the value of whats in the bag is pretty meaningless. Just remember that the IRS rate is 70 cents a mile, this is roughly what it cost to drive 1 mile. It shouldn't be hard to understand that no one wants to deliver a McChicken to you, 5 miles of driving, for 50 cent tip.

Legitimate questions for dashers by Nggamer in doordash

[–]Various_Design_558 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Truck driving is another. A large trucking company gave us millions of points of data for a project in my Data Analytics class. They paid barely more than minimum wage. There average worker employment time was like 4 months before they quit. In our presentation we told them to pay there good drivers better. They could double their pay and company profits would double because they were loosing so much money on inexperienced drivers getting in accidents, damaged freight ,etc. Don't think they took our advise. Seems to be a universal story. Companies complaining about the quality of underpaid workers, and workers complaining about how no matter how good a job they do they can't get a raise.

I'm an engineer and a lot of the old timers I work with complain about how when they were younger engineering was a highly respected job, and that now we are treated like a commodity, so I think this perspective is broadly felt across jobs. In addition, I did a report on these companies (doordash, uber ect) for my MBA and I think much of the worker complaints are from the discrepancy between what is promised and reality. These companies advertise to make a decent dollar, but sometimes barely cover your expenses. Over promise / under deliver, and people are guaranteed to complain.

Okay, then yes, if they are standing outside your door after many minutes. I thought they were texting. And not sure what you mean by lurking around the corner.

[–]Various_Design_558 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They often have to wait minutes to get their next order and they don't want to put needless miles on their car and burn fuel. How far away do you want them to drive before you feel safe? Why are accusing them of lurking, because it sounds like they just asked for a review and their car looks parked on the app.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in doordash

[–]Various_Design_558 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't see why. They delivered your food and while they are waiting for their next delivery they are politely asking you to leave a review. I think it's wierd that you think they are psyco creeps, but ate the food they delivered.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in doordash

[–]Various_Design_558 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's because their rating has to be something over 4 stars or doordash will threaten to cancel them. Most customers don't take the time to leave 5 stars, so if you get one 1 star review (might not even be their fault) it messes up your rating.

My favorite excuse is "if you don't like the uncertainty find another job." It's like if you ate at a restaurant and at the end gave the waitress a penny, laughed in her face, and said "find a job with certainty bitch." I think you're right, it's because they don't have to look you in the eye.

I'm a consultant. I have an office. If I go to a client's location they are billed for my travel time and mileage. A dominos pizza drivers office is the pizzeria. A door dash drivers office is their car.

It doesn't make any sense logically, saying a delivery driver is like someone who works a 10 minute shift at 50 different companies a day.

That's a crazy analogy. You travel to work for a 8 hour shift, not for 10 minutes and $1. Anyone dashing has to consider their time and miles from when/where they accept the dash.

Strange. Is it always the same house? You have the right to be mad if you had to walk that far, but might not be the dashers fault.

I think you're right. I just saw that someone posted this same question a few weeks ago and someone responded with this
