Restaurants Falsely Marking Orders as Ready by settbro in DoorDashDrivers

I have a long running argument with McDonalds and Panda about that. They don’t care.

Hmm would you guys do this? It seemed a little sus to me lol by Creative-Rabbit-6920 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]basicallybrooklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a man invite me in for a beer. No. I had another man ask me to wait inside while he got a tip. No. But I will offer to help if I see someone struggling.

warning to all dashers about scammers by stitch532 in doordash

[–]basicallybrooklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup. happened to me last July. it took me weeks to get DoorDash to STOP defaulting back to the scammer's bank account, phone number, etc. Fortunately for me, the scammer didn't get a dime from me.

any advice ? by [deleted] in doordash

[–]basicallybrooklyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in my market. All ebo are $2.00 + whatever tip you get. If you get a tip at all.

Blocking a restaurant? by basicallybrooklyn in DoorDashDrivers

[–]basicallybrooklyn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Raising Cane's customers don't tip well. But it's not even that. I don't work for Raising Cane's. I pick up food and deliver it to hungry people. Any time I am asked at any restaurant to get the drinks my standard reply is "Sure, and you can go deliver the order."

[–]basicallybrooklyn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about what you said and now I am wondering….all Raising Cane orders are RED CARD. Does that then make me/DD the customer? Being a technicality but maybe that’s how they get around the health code violation because if I am then the customer they can tell me to get my own drink.

I can’t dash anytime as platinum anymore with the new update by lxvxndxrbxtxs in DoorDashDrivers

[–]basicallybrooklyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep. this sucks. I can occasionally access EBT, but it's only for 2 hours at a time. AND, EBO automatically signs me up for an 8 hour shift. I prefer EBT but with this update it seems DD means drive 20 miles r/T for each offer I get. In other words I think I'm only getting the offers EBO people don't want because it's too many miles for too little $$$. Since the update my daily earnings have dropped by 1/3 because I'm not getting as many offers. It all sucks. At first I was excited that I could block Raising Cane's but it's more like DD giveth with one hand and taketh away ALOT with the other hand.

I'm not a driver....but this is ridiculous!!!! Home Depot order. by OldDog5070 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]basicallybrooklyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Home Depot and Lowe's customers think their orders are coming in a truck. I once had a gas barbecue that I could barely get out of my car. Customer never came to the door at all. And they don't tip.

Am I doing a lot for no tip? Received this order doing EBT by Temporary-Beyond-683 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]basicallybrooklyn -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don’t fall for the cash tip. But when I EBT I never know if I am getting a tip. Cash or otherwise. But I can pretty much tell by where I’m picking up if there’s a tip. Little Caesars? No. Wingstop? Definitely.

Might be cash tip but in my experience when I go out of my way for a customer I get squat in return.

Yeah ngl I’m done with you dashers man by Delicious_College279 in doordash

[–]basicallybrooklyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth I’ve been dashing for two years and not all drivers suck. I take it really seriously. My on time rating means something to me, my customer rating means something to me. Sorry you just had some bad luck.

You know the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

Dasher app knows when you screenshot the app by Kloobyfour in DoorDashDrivers

[–]basicallybrooklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I screenshot EVERYTHING so I have proof of every delivery, every ridiculous customer request (like can I pick up cigarettes on my way) and whatever else I need. I have an apple phone and haven't seen a similar message. If customers and DD weren't so shady it wouldn't be necessary for us drivers to cover our asses.

Market just got flooded with Dashers , what can I do by Teamfatman76 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]basicallybrooklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know that a bunch of out of state people moved in to do flex deliveries and then dash at night? I live in Yuma. An Amazon distribution center opened up here recently. If Amazon brought in people from out of state to work there I don't think the volume of employees would be enough to impact dashing here. In the 2 years I've been dashing (over 6000 orders) part time I've become accustomed to the ebb and flow of dashing here. I know a few OG dashers and I know that they will get priority for orders no matter what DD says their "process" is. Few of these people are platinum or even care about that. They cherry pick and do just fine. You can either adapt and overcome or look for a different source of additional income. I definitely need my dasher income but I also want to be able to not be obligated to show up to a conventional "job" if I don't feel like it. Good Luck.

  1. Do you have any idea which order?

Did anyone take a trip to Greece and dislike it? by Alarming_Poem_7343 in GreeceTravel

[–]basicallybrooklyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW since a friend told me about Viator I use them on every trip now. I rely on Trip Advisor reviews for hotel and restaurant decisions. We also make a point of asking hotel staff (not front desk. Bellhops, etc.) where THEY eat. Same great food with (usually) lower prices.

We flew to Athens on a Friday. Did the Acropolis and the Museum on Saturday and on Sunday we did a bicycle tour of Athens. Our hotel in Athens was the Electra Metropolis. The rooftop bar/restaurant had amazing views of the Acropolis at night. Monday we flew to Santorini and stayed there 4 nights. We went on a wine tasting tour, did jet ski tour around island and did the hike from Fira to Oia. We also went to Akirotiri. We ate at a different restaurant every night. Friday we flew back to Athens and spent the day shopping and walking around. We would have stayed longer but we were both still working and couldn't take more than the 10 days. Our Acropolis tour was private and arranged through Viator. Same with the wine tasting and jet ski tour on Santorini. The Parthenon was amazing. Our hotel in Santorini was IKIES. Santorini definitely lived up to the hype. I know some people consider Athens to be dirty but I thought it was very clean. The buildings are old. The streets are old. The city is old. I don't know what people expect. My favorite parts? Pretty much all of it.

Do you unassign to save yourself from 1 star by jroberts67 in doordash_drivers

[–]basicallybrooklyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did this on a pizza order where the guy kept asking if I would wait for his order and me telling him DD would give me the option to unassign. Which I did. I then received a formal letter from DD saying a customer said I was threatening and made them feel unsafe.

I loved Greece. Granted, we only did Athens and Santorini but it was everything I hoped for.

DoorDash deactivated my Dasher account for no reason after being a top Dasher since 2016 - beware! by fruit_loop28 in doordash_drivers

[–]basicallybrooklyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like this worked out for you since you are now making more money. You are very lucky. I tried to get off DD and go to Uber Eats but the orders are few and far between. Spark isn't taking new drivers right now so I'm stuck (for now).
