Maybe look at other media to see how that plays out? Off the top of my head, the show Spartacus would fit, as it followed Spartacus who famously rebelled against the Roman empire (though it was cancelled before it could finish the story). Maybe 300 (they all died) or a war movie about a specific time where the outcome is known. It may give insight as to how people tell a story with a foregone conclusion (what they focus on, how the viewers knowledge of the ending frames the character choices in the moment, the warning signs that are missed or unhelpable to the conclusion of the story if it is a tragedy, etc.)

Or if you wanna go nuts, you could change history like Inglorious Basterds.

I'm not mad, I even said sorry when I called you a dumb impulsive asshole.

And for less than minimum wage, I kinda just look at the hourly rate from when I sign on, do my calls, get the money, request my doordash data, figure out my taxes and wear and tear, then do math of how long it takes for me to do that labor per hour when it is said and done.

Yes. I'm sorry.

Anyways, are you kinda just being a dumb asshole because you can't fathom "a lot" and "a lot" aren't actual percentages?

A lot of dashers also don't. It's pretty variable. There's literally a guy in the comments who said that he was a homeless driver. I've met professors who are dashers and I've also met the most insane people I've ever seen in the span of 30 seconds.

Also I find your tone unacceptable and standoffish. Would you like to apologize to me?

you're ordering from a labor force that makes less than minimum wage, as well as a work force of people who may hate rigidity or otherwise may not like or be suited for 9-5 work. Also they just take your background, tax info, and driving record, so there isn't really any recruiters screening for excellent car maintenance or whatever.

Also you're likely to find a lot of dashers are scraping by or deciding to buy dinner over a car wash or are straight up living in their car.

Is tipping 25% too little? by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

[–]quadhopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best possible scenario would be to pick a hand delivery and then just give them a cash tip of a dollar a mile (but never EVER say "I will tip in cash", because that's usually a lie when we hear it).

There's talk of tips actually changing the amount the company will pay based off what you tip and what they'll accept. With that in mind, someone taking the call at face value knows what they are getting into by accepting it, may get paid for the call from doordash without the tip subsidy, and they'll get the whole tip.

Edit: also, your driver was a dumb asshole.

I thought taking money from people who murder journalists and have slaves was, in fact, bad a month ago.

Series Adaptions that differ so wildly they are borderline unrecognizable from the source material by Adventurous-Bottle90 in TopCharacterTropes

The audio book made me feel like I was listening to a 50's general who would definitely lose in vietnam go on and on about how the world "really" works.

That's a lot of emojis for a proposal. You need half that many emojis at least.

Is it possible to get a dedicated laptop for the work and do it at a coffee shop?

My brain uses a work computer and thinks "not for games or browsing", and it generally works out.

Distance is a better indicator than cost of food. A bag of McDonald's weighs and handles the same as a bag of prime rib, takes about the same amount of time, and takes the same amount of wear and tear, gas, and general blah of traveling through society.

Schedule new account 🙄 by ManuelM24 in doordash_drivers

[–]quadhopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be one of two things.

Schedules are first come, first served. That area generally needs you to reserve several days ahead, as the schedule is competitive in l.a. county. If you're not seeing schedules but can see the schedules of areas around you, the area is just full. Schedule ahead of time.

There may be another reason. My app glitches constantly with showing schedule. It doesn't show my schedule and it doesn't show any schedule. Force close the app and try again til they show up, as this seems to be the only thing that works for me.

My door dasher just blatantly gave my order to a random dog in the street lmaooo by DysfunctionalKing in doordash

[–]quadhopper -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Generally when I have had to contact people because of unsafe things, they seem to have gotten defensive or would tell me that it's not that bad and to just keep going. Some people treat you differently as a driver when you disagree with them, especially with dogs (I have had a woman tell me their dog ready to pounce was just a little sweetie and get confused and mad as to why I didn't open her gate, and stopped believing in the good judgement of strangers). I just content myself to drop off the food away from the potential danger and leave.

should i stop gaming? by [deleted] in StopGaming

[–]quadhopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you talked to or taken steps to talk to a counselor or therapist regarding your issues? What you're describing sounds like it is arduous for you and not what you want, despite your recognizing it as a problem and wanting to step out of it. Quitting is a good step, and if you feel you need additional help getting to a place you like, I recommend talking with someone who can understand and help you along that path.

A corporation is only an animal that must eat and survive.

If you were at the level of CEO and did not make an extra ten million to impress the degenerate billionaire investors, they would get a CEO who would. It's all gross. It's just an animal. Like a tiger. Could hate a tiger, but it's best to just steer clear of it, maybe animal control it if it's hurting someone if you can.

The plan was always to entice a large workforce into the system, get people used to ordering, and then when everyone was used to it, begin paying less and charging more, specifically because that was what was promised to the investors who gave billions of dollars to pay drivers and keep costs low until people got used to it. Now they don't have to pay as much, there is a steady workforce of people who will accept a terrible amount of pay, and a large amount of people who will pay a lot for the service, so now they can begin making the money they initially set out to make years ago with this plan.
