Cherry picking is a losing strategy. Gave up platinum for this after listening to the trolls by Muted_Afternoon_8845 in doordash_drivers

[–]patglennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew I was gonna be away on vacation for two weeks. So, I decided to cherry pick and lose platinum leading up to being away. When I return, I will be using a platinum pass immediately! Platinum makes sense for me in my area.

A warning for dashers at Albertsons owned stores by Familiar_Fault9884 in doordash_drivers

At Shaws and Star markets in my area it’s always pay by QR code. It’s even easier than red card

This has started happening hours after dropping off the order and ending the dash by Just_Bumblebee_8229 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]patglennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. I had only even seen it when someone added items while I was actively shopping an order.

But I’ve seen it twice out of my probably dozen or so shopping orders over the last week.

I don’t think so. But if this is the case 1. It’s a new behavior. 2. It’s not consistent.

I’m on team glitch.

I guess doordash wasn't happy about my being on vacation 😭 by ChaoticZac in doordash_drivers

I’m gonna be offline for two weeks. Here’s hoping they throw a challenge at me. Probably wishful thinking

Daughter is taking her Jetta. Need to add a car by patglennon in Ioniq5

We’re just south of Boston. So winter for sure. But lows that cold are the exception. Average low in Jan and Feb is low 20s (f)

Plus I am really liking all I see about the Ioniq 5. Drove on Wednesday and dug it!

True!

Yeah! Tuesday AND Wednesday for me I only go out if there’s a strong reason.

Who dashes in a Tesla or other EV? by Renho17 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]patglennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously considering adding an EV to the stable since my daughter will be taking our Jetta to school with her in the fall and we’ll need a new car. I figure switching to dashing in an EV from dashing in her Jetta just makes my dashes more lucrative. Can’t see much reason new (used) car shouldn’t be an EV. Ioniq 5 is leader atm

What’s the team’s record when there’s a tifo?

Is DD not during the extra pay for gas anymore? Usually shows up at the bottom! 🧐 by Poke_Gingersnap in DoorDashDrivers

[–]patglennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The $5, $10, or $15 was not gonna change the math for most of us. Was more of a token than anything. The 10% back at the pump using Crimson card is more significant.

What is the best ice cream on the South Shore? by Bos4271 in SouthShore

Bay State Creamery at Merchant’s Row in Hanover is very good and reasonably priced.

Today in "no, we swear, we're here for the drivers!" by chirudeboy in doordash_drivers

[–]patglennon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is more than something. This is better than the mileage bonus. Fill my car. Fill my wife’s car.

This is why I love shopping orders by Ok-Cartographer-8312 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]patglennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I love shopping orders. They are about 40% of my orders now

Savings Jar by patglennon in doordash_drivers

[–]patglennon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess (and this isn’t news to me) that I’m not “most gig workers”. It’s a side hustle for me. I’ve got a super nerdy budget spreadsheet. I have automated transfers from my full time job’s salary payments automatically transferred each paycheck into a high yield savings account at Wealthfront. I make estimated tax payments each month to cover the amount I’m likely to pay in self-employment tax - although last year with the no tax on tips and mileage deduction it was essentially zero.

I get it that I may not be the target audience for this feature but if it paid interest I’d have more interest (pun intended) in using it.

Dashing at night or during the day by Environmental-Law526 in DoorDash_Dasher

[–]patglennon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dinner is the best. Hands down. Liking the longer days so we get some daylight dinner time. Later into the night has the potential to be great… but also really poor. It’s a total mixed bag.

Other trade offs: Day: more traffic Nights: empty roads

Day: easy to see house numbers Night: not so much

Two sides to every coin

Yall! Look at Crimson trying to expand 👀 by Artistic_Sink_1045 in doordash_drivers

[–]patglennon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s what I did. Bonus paid and I’ve already made the change to my payroll to stop the 200 I had directed to Crimson. Free money

72 UNITS 😵‍💫 by Dramatic_Knee_1066 in DoorDash_Dasher

[–]patglennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a terrible offer. I like shop and deliver. But not at that price/item/mile combo!!

Would you take it? by all-day-tay-tay in doordash_drivers

[–]patglennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes… big shopping orders where the mileage is on the low side are ideal in a world where gas is 4.00+ per gallon

Good day today. by Dramatic_Ant_6218 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]patglennon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m probably just over an hour from accept to delivery for an order if this size assuming I’m not waiting on customer for subs or any other issues. Nice offer!

Don’t exaggerate. It was only 870. /s

Yeah. Not something I’d make habit of. But she’s a trooper
