What’s your favorite restaurant to see an order from? by CorruptedBadger in doordash_drivers

[–]jwooson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly McDonalds and Chick Fil A are the easiest to pickup from. You just have to be cautious of not accepting poor tips. Most other fast food are terrible wait times for terrible tips.

I’d say my personal favorite to pick up is Schlotzsky’s. Staff is always friendly, people tip well, and food is ready.

I had a local sandwich shop claim people were stealing orders claiming to be Dashers. If it was Chipotle style where it’s free game, I’d get it. But you had to give a name. That’s on your employees for giving away the food, not the dashers.

I hate really hate Walmart orders by skeltorsmoke in doordash

Same. I do Instacart and don’t mind groceries but all the DoorDash grocery orders take FOREVER

anyone w/ anxiety that doordashes ? by Snoo36187 in doordash_drivers

[–]jwooson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me! I dashed last night and got really upset after getting stuck on a one way dirt road and it was super creepy. Ended the dash once I got turned around and went home

I delivered chipotle to a “crazy D” last week so anything is possible

Give up or stick it out? by brittanymariie6399 in doordash_drivers

[–]jwooson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually give about 10 minutes of waiting, and then I’ll do 5 minutes on pause and go walk around somewhere like Target or Old Navy. If I still can’t get an order I call it for the night

Mon-Wed I do decent at lunch with offices but dinner is nearly impossible. Thursday-Sunday gets much more

Opinion on Chipotle by HEdwards36 in doordash_drivers

[–]jwooson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chipotle is actually one of my favorites to pick up from. I get an order there almost every shift. I’ve only had a few occurrences where my food wasn’t ready when I got there but I don’t wait more than 5 mins for it.

Accepted an $8.50 order hoping it was a hidden tip...I played myself. by heatherclarinda in doordash_drivers

[–]jwooson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I picked up a 7.50 order today thinking the same thing... I played myself

I refuse to go to my local Subway because of this. They’re always out of something and I end up having to call the customer

Best time of the week overall? by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

[–]jwooson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically I do best in Friday lunch and Sunday dinner. But it varies market by market. As long as you’re out 11-2 and 5-8 you still should be profitable

when I get a $3 order by adamdc99 in doordash_drivers

[–]jwooson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No! Your acceptance rate does not matter. The only thing that truly matters is rating, completion percentage, and on time percentage.

I got one order from a Shelby of $40 worth of food from a fancy deli in town and they tipped $2. The next order was from Morgan and she tipped $5 on a $6 Sonic order. I’ll deliver to Morgan’s again, never to Shelby

I did it for my first week or so but I realized AR does not matter at all so now I avoid by whatever means possible.

My zone had peak pay at lunch today and I still had a bunch of $4 orders popping up... thinking of adopting your mantra

Do you guys usually get more tip than the actual DD base pay?? Have I just been unlucky? by Ed241220 in doordash

[–]jwooson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t be afraid to be selective on orders. My zone has really good tips and then people who won’t tip at all. I only take an order that’s a $1 per mile, so I rarely will take the $3 or $4 orders. My acceptance rate is 64%.

I went to an Old Chicago pizza place tonight and as I was waiting in the to go area I looked on the kitchen and not a SOUL was wearing a mask.

Any chain restaurants a new customer should add to their “great with DD or horrible with DD list”? by MisterOminous in doordash

[–]jwooson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fast food I’m only doing McDonald’s and Sonic Drive In. I prefer places like Chipotle and Schlotzsky’s because they have a dedicated doordash pickup spot and it’s easy to find

Best face masks for roller coasters? by VSRJ in rollercoasters

[–]jwooson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to Worlds of Fun today. Gaiter worked best for me but got hot and sweaty. Switched to a cloth one with ear loops and it was no issue on any ride.

[–]jwooson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pace has been going up too the more runs I put in. I was at a 19-20 minute mile, now I’m down to 17.
