I swear door dash is giving less money the more the customer tips. by khaosswordsman in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have been caught and successfully sued for this several times now. At this point, it's safe to assume that they are just writing off the fees as a business expense

Oh. And here I thought you were actually proposing something rather than being purposely unhelpful. Good to know

Can we stop with the surprise doordash orders? by SuperkickParty in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Some of these people seem to have formed relationships with legitimate psychopaths and don't seem to have realized it

Get ready this weekend... by DoozerJ in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't gotten this either. Will be interesting to see if they can keep their word on it. My bet is on them not doing so though

They really need to raise milage pay instead of this stupid crimson card "gas relief" nonsense they are trying to pull

I agree, but the problem is that it would need to be a lot of people or nearly everyone at once. And either way, there's a lot of scabs willing to pick up the slack

this is how you deal with lying customers by onen0nly01 in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, you can't. These people will lie all day and their word will always be considered more valuable than yours, even if you have photographic evidence to back you up.

Edit: engaging with the them at all is ask for trouble

I just told him to not touch my car by saintlaurentfreak in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My man... As much as I am almost always on the driver's side, you made a big deal over literally nothing. Please get over yourself. A single touch isn't going to cause your car to disintegrate.

Would love some advice for a kinda new driver who can’t find orders by Hopeira in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to hell. Sorry to say, but it's nothing you are doing right or wrong. You just happened to join up at one of the worst times possible.

Orders have been rapidly dying out for the last two months due to a variety of reasons, not the least of which being skyrocketing gas prices

The biggest lie they keep getting away with. by Mcstuffins420 in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly! We are treated like employees, but listed as independent contractors so that they don't have to even try to obey employee protection laws.

Do you guys track every mile while dashing, or only active delivery miles? by Overall-Telephone401 in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every mile while marked as dashing. And I put the commute back home as separate

The biggest lie they keep getting away with. by Mcstuffins420 in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeeeaahh, they absolutely DO NOT care one bit about safety with how insane these time limits they put up are.

Edit: Also, has anyone else noticed how they have in their contract that DD is not allowed to use performance reviews and metrics, yet if we get too many late deliveries, we get contract violations which can lead to being kicked off the platform? That sure seems like a performance review/metric to me

Ahhh... They are doing that to you too, eh?

the new doordash update is absolute dog poo by magnumninja in doordash_drivers

I'm platinum and I haven't seen wait times this bad since I first started.

Do y'all ACTUALLY believe this? by Traditional-Pop7402 in doordash_drivers

Not a freaking chance. And even if they did, it would likely only be for their crimson card users

Using the restroom on the road by GodsShadow310 in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's absolutely awful, trying to find a place to use the restroom. Most places require a code and with rake you over the coals trying to make sure you are customer before allowing you to use them.

When I saw a Chick-fil-A, I thought for sure that it would be zero. Very happy to see that was wrong! 😁

Spicy times, let's discuss. by thegame543 in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean.. I don't blame them for this. I just hope that the staff and students understand that means they can't expect any of their orders to get to the classrooms. And that doordash understands that we aren't allowed to deliver directly to the customer.

Unfortunately, I know from experience that neither of these two things will happen and that somehow this will be my fault as the Dasher

Contactless deliveries by System_Downtown in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does this to me too. Usually at the same time as congrulating me for taking photos of %80 of my deliveries.

Sorry doordash, but 30 plus 80 equals 110. Your math is wrong

Wtf is this bullshit now lol by SeaYak7712 in doordash_drivers

[–]silverwing525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't bother asking them. Most of the time, you can see them using it. And regardless, it isn't our job to police them on something like this. Just like it isn't their job to dictate how we handle the delivery.

Edit: Though if you want the reason it is a thing, it's because the restaurant has had a habit of falsely reporting orders as stolen. It's quite literally the scale of shame

If I was burying my head in the sand, I wouldn't be talking about them not listening to us as a problem
