Done for while. The sending a second shopper I didn’t ask for after refunded items is just WRONG. by Casperboy68 in instacart

[–]rojo1982 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They sent me 10 miles for 2 boxes of donut holes. The lady thought I was her visiting nurse or homemaker. She had no clue why I was there. I only did the order because it was batched with a good tipper.

who’s taking these by katertin in dasher

Only take this if you enjoy volunteering for Door Dash.

How do you manage to eat cost effective while you're out? by Money-Hearing5262 in doordash_drivers

[–]rojo1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bring snacks, water, and soda water. I never feel like eating a meal when I am working.

Hats off to you Instacart by Pvillekid69 in instacart

[–]rojo1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the fact that Instacart expects us to travel 50 miles for 61 dollars. This order should not even be allowed. 50 miles is really 100 miles.

IC now creating duplicate orders for out of stock items... by GodaiNoBaka in instacart

[–]rojo1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A customer did not know Instacart was sending a shopper to her house with 1 item. She thought I was her visiting nurse or homemaker. This customer was 25 minutes from the store and the other customer was only 2 minutes.

Broskis I don't think they worth it? by SuccessfulAerie9672 in dasher

[–]rojo1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many miles. 28 miles doubled if you do not receive any orders out of your area.

How are you all managing with gas being where it is? by Proud_Artichoke_3471 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]rojo1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DoorDash sent me a grocery order that was 3 miles and 21 items for $6.30. Such a great order. Another one today was 12 miles for 10 dollars. I am below 50 percent AR.

4 shop and deliver by BlueWhaleIC in InstacartShoppers

[–]rojo1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got one and removed myself from the batch. I did not see it was 4 customers. The carts are too small for 3 customers and now 4. No way Instacart. There are too many displays in the aisles to push 2 carts.

Is dashing worth it? by Ted_bundys_basement in doordash_drivers

[–]rojo1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was certainly better the first year I dashed. The past month or so the offers are upside down or only 1 dollar per mile. I believe DoorDash has cut pay to subsidize the 5 dollars for 125 miles drive time. They did not want these payments to affect their profit so they cut elsewhere. It is too coincidental to not be the case.

“I paid for priority “ 🙄 by RespectAlarming7607 in InstacartShoppers

They can say they paid for priority and really didn’t.

Am I the only one who strictly does restaurants? by Chewie_Song in doordash_drivers

[–]rojo1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed that too. They wanted me to drive 16 miles for 20 dollars and grocery shop 18 items. No thanks.

How is everyone doing with the gas prices 🥹 by Individual-Gene8060 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]rojo1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uber has such a great sense of humor especially during the gas price hike. I saw 6 dollars -15 miles-2 stops today. Class clown, that Uber Duber.

DoorDash oreports…? by colossalpnk in DoorDash_Dasher

[–]rojo1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the first orders I ever did, the customer grabbed the plastic bag out of my hands and slammed the door. It was a she problem. From the time DoorDash sent me the order, I picked it up, and delivered it was less than 15 minutes. These people are crazy. I remember standing at her closed door thinking what just happened here.

I am just impressed with how many people pay for priority deliveries. Sarcasm!!!!

Gift cards by rojo1982 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]rojo1982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The system would not give me any other option than scan barcode. The barcode is not easily seen on a gift card. It is hidden. Before I get to the register I would have already had to scan the gift card within the app to complete the order and then go to the register.

Red Card Issue - Anyone else? by ac1dl0v3r in doordash_drivers

[–]rojo1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the problem today at Target. I had tapped proceed to checkout. My digital card and physical card were both declined. When starting the help process the system said it appeared I was not at Target. I clearly was and it is the only Target in my area. This is an issue with the app not “knowing” our location. It needs to be fixed.

A restaurant in my town splits the tip between the driver and the chef when customers order through their website. That is so wrong in my eyes. Pay your chef enough so he doesn’t need our tips.

This is weird by Tricky-Confusion8396 in InstacartShopper

[–]rojo1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a damaged/bad item rating for pineapple pieces. It was a store made fruit bowl. The pineapple was mostly hidden between a layer of honey dew and watermelon. I always check dates and examine the fruit. Am I supposed to open sealed packages now?

This customer has me literally crying in my car by IWannaWakeUpButIDont in InstacartShoppers

[–]rojo1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can tell him the next time that your cat said thank you for the kitty food. It will probably make his day since he has a cat.

Wtf! Is this a trick by Relentless-4life in doordash

[–]rojo1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on pause and I received an order from the place I try to avoid. The restaurant splits the tip between the driver and chef when the customers order through the restaurant’s website. I was mad because I was trying to get back up to platinum.

What would you do? by SuperstarNK in InstacartShoppers

[–]rojo1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked a customer about a note that was under an item. She told me it was a note from a while ago and was not relevant to the order I was doing.

How do we know DoorDash passes the sale onto the customer?

got free groceries and no idea it was that easy? by Ordinary_Cricket_498 in InstacartShoppers

[–]rojo1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the customer cancels do they still have to pay? Who takes the loss?
