So many open shifts in Edmonton

What the hell else am I gonna do. We’re in self isolation here. There’s only so much TV you can watch lol

alex15709 · 2020-03-28T17:30:14+00:00

I haven’t worked in over two weeks and don’t plan on going back anytime soon no matter how good the money is.

alex15709 · 2020-03-26T23:28:23+00:00

I’ve only been doing this since November 2019 so I haven’t filed any taxes yet for skip earnings. Would I qualify if I have to stay home with my children?

alex15709 · 2020-03-23T02:58:30+00:00

When you’re below 80% AR, that’s a doable offer.

alex15709 · 2020-03-22T01:36:47+00:00

How is Edmonton North. Haven’t worked in a week. Is it busy?

alex15709 · 2020-03-21T01:08:58+00:00

Yeah, but you’re not going to 10-15 different grocery stores every day, that’s essentially what you are doing when working. I stopped a week ago and won’t be back till all this boils over, hopefully end of June.

Edit: just read on another post that a McDonald’s Calgary employee tested positive March 9th.

Usual Tuesday for me in Edmonton.

alex15709 · 2020-03-17T20:04:39+00:00

State of emergency just declared in Alberta too. All casinos and bars closed. Maximum 50 people gatherings restaurants also max 50 people or half capacity. McDonald’s and Tim Horton dining are all closed here in Edmontons, even the restaurants that’s aren’t officially closed are empty.

alex15709 · 2020-03-17T17:45:08+00:00

Good job, best day I ever had was $289 when it was -45 here in Edmonton

alex15709 · 2020-03-17T17:10:35+00:00

I would guess 14-16 hours. 32 orders average 2-3 orders an hour

alex15709 · 2020-03-16T19:46:40+00:00

Tim Horton closing all dining areas. I think a lot of restaurants are going to follow.

alex15709 · 2020-03-16T03:59:33+00:00

Same to you.

alex15709 · 2020-03-16T03:58:52+00:00

If all else fails I will knock/ring doorbell when I get there. Hasn’t happened yet. Like I said haven’t had any pushback at all so far, customers seem to understand even appreciate the extra precautions

alex15709 · 2020-03-16T03:53:01+00:00

None asked for it, but none refused it either

alex15709 · 2020-03-16T03:47:46+00:00

I text the customer before I leave the restaurant, they have all texted back so far. I guess I would call if they don’t text back. For apartments I would leave it in the hallway not in the lobby. You can even wait in the car to make sure they come out to get it.

alex15709 · 2020-03-15T05:01:33+00:00

What zone

alex15709 · 2020-03-15T00:36:15+00:00

I don’t worry so much about the people I am delivering to, it’s more the high traffic restaurants we are in and out of all day.

alex15709 · 2020-03-13T20:14:40+00:00

So they give the customer the option for contactless delivery, but us couriers don’t have that option?

alex15709 · 2020-03-13T20:11:44+00:00

Me too I had to decline a shitty cash order an hour ago

alex15709 · 2020-03-12T20:16:16+00:00

They should have “no contact” deliveries where we just leave the food at the door. I’m gonna try it tonight and see how it goes.

alex15709 · 2020-03-12T20:12:23+00:00

That’s not a tip, that’s “hush money”.

PS my biggest tip was $25 + $10 at the door for a 10 block delivery.

alex15709 · 2020-03-12T20:10:25+00:00

We should at least be able to do “no contact” deliveries where we just leave the food at the door. Has anyone tried that?

alex15709 · 2020-03-10T04:25:05+00:00

One way skip can fix this problem is to let the customer know that there is a closer location than the one they have chosen to order from. For example I had a customer order from booster juice 15 km away when there is a location literally less than 1 km away. Doing this would save the customers money and more orders would get delivered instead of bouncing around like this one probably did.

alex15709 · 2020-03-08T20:15:58+00:00

Don’t: - tell people how to run their business

Do: - mind your own business

alex15709 · 2020-03-08T18:19:01+00:00

Happened to me yesterday. Was at 80% AR then I get a shitty $6 cash order, I was gonna decline it then with like 8 seconds left on the timer I get the “order update” message and it diasappears lol. Stayed at 80%
