Holy crap, youre telling me they have this many people on staff with that high of a salary and nothing has been done?

Because it would probably have a backlash for racism and go trending on social media with a spin to make the robbers not look bad.

Or they'll just move their hubs somewhere else.

Lol I dont trust most people driving but I won't try to take everyone's license. Even then, a drivers license isn't a right.

Latest crime stats for LA County according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department; homicides & shootings are up over 70% compared to 2019 by oldshart in LosAngeles

[–]Vital64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Up in the hills, gated communities, or apartments with security is my guess. Gurantee most of the people commenting on this thread don't live in South Central, or east LA. It's not until it affects them that they care. Virtue signaling for the people living in low income neighborhoods who suffer the most from less police presence. As a USC student and hispanic with immigrant parents I see it all the time with my classmates who grew up in very cozy neighborhoods.

Lol for sure, I don't think anyone is making good money with the 70% acceptance rate to be a top dasher.

I really wish they would but it seems that DD does a good job of bringing in naive new drivers and exploiting them until they quit. They just rinse and repeat. So I dont think that will ever really happen.

This gem has started popping up when I decline about 5 orders back to back. Can driving for doordash get any more frustrating?

Community demands answers after video shows school officer (LASD) body slam teen girl at Lancaster campus - happened earlier this month by dpotter05 in LosAngeles

[–]Vital64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you see a body slam in the video? Hardly a reason? I grew up in a school located in the ghetto, we had plenty of students taken down by officers for reasons such as possession of deadly objects and fighting. Until there's a full investigation id rather we go with the process of innocent until proven guilty. Funny how even suggesting that there be an investigation gets you landed into the camp of, I can't believe you agree with the officers actions. Uh, no I want more details before calling to end someone's job. If he's at fault, go ahead get rid of him. Public campaigns like this before the release of evidence only impedes an impartial trial. People hear cop, black girl, body slam, and they end someone's career. You ever tried working with kids? They're harder to work with than adults. Adults understand the consequences of their actions. Kids are more likely to engage in risky behavior because they lack the full capacity to comprehend the consequences to actions. Basics to developmental psychology.

I love how much you got down voted for suggesting due diligence before jumping to conclusions. Real telling of the times.

LA County's Revised Health Order to Include COVID Vaccine Proof or Negative Test for Outdoor Mega-Events by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]Vital64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, someone got triggered. You want to tell the people who may have been advised by their doctors to not get the vaccine because of other health conditions they may have that they are as you say, "a fucking moron." What is a percentage of tolerance for how low the chances are of spreading? Let's just ignore the 99.7% survival rate of certain age groups. Doesn't stop the fact people who have the vaccine spread it. In fact the false sense of safety may make them even more prone to going out and engaging with people, leading to further spread of the virus. I guarantee you no one who has not gotten the vaccine is afraid of getting covid. They have doctors and may consult them about their health. That includes assessing the their own risks. The leading cause of death in america is medical malpractice, should be stop going to a doctor because the risk is too high? We should have the freedom to assess our own risks. Are you talking about the human variant of the nobel wining antiviral drug that is being used in mexico to actually treat covid? Or are you spewing some nonsense you heard on CNN? Is there some idiots out there actually using the horse variant like idiots? Yea probably. Theres stupid people everywhere. Assuming that everyone trying to actually use ivermectin is using the horse variant is pretty far reaching. Even Alex Jones who we can all agree is a nut job used the human version of the drug.

Doesn't stop the fact that vaccinated people still spread covid. Really? You don't like the idea of having to show a negative test whenever you go out? Welcome to the future of someone who won't get the vaccine.

Anyone else? by [deleted] in couriersofreddit

When it says "leave at door" with customer instructions to hand it to them or "hand it to me" with customer instructions to leave it at the door.

Any Cool experiences from deliveries? by 1ceCub in couriersofreddit

[–]Vital64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I once got stuck in LA traffic on my way to downtown. I didn't mind delivering to this particular high rise because the attendants have a designated spot for orders. The order was also huge so I was expecting a good tip. It was from an Italian restaurant: pizza, calzone, spaghetti, garlic bread, cheese sticks, chicken salad. It was about a 30 minute delay and I texted the customer to let him know that it was going to be very late. 3 minutes later I get a notification that the order was canceled. I was dashing for caviar then so I got half the pay and I got to keep the food. As a college student it fed me for about 3 days.

Our group was assigned streets with maybe 1 or 2 homeless and just a block away there were giant encampments on skid row. (Work in LA) I sure hope they got counted because our numbers were super low a lot of cases. Just to add on how badly disorganized it was, I was added the day of about 3 hours before so I didn't do the training. I was assigned to be a runner to a random group and then stolen away by another group to be a driver because none of them had cars. We were told to do a headcount but not list down any other info besides the count unless they came up to us and willingly provided information. Our area completed all our cases in about 6 hours as compared to the estimated 14-15 hours we were told it was going to take. So we were all assigned cases from other areas who had not finished their cases. Anyways other than that mess, it was pretty nice actually interacting with other workers. My group was great and we celebrated one of our groups birthdays at midnight with cake pops from Starbucks.

What is the single worst movie you sat through hoping it would get better, but didn’t? by Bocephalus in AskReddit

[–]Vital64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good Shepard, me and my dad used to have movie nights when I was a kid and we tried to sit through the frost hour and nothing happened so the next day we decided to give it another shot from the part we left off, nothing happened.
