Figured I'd put this up before going to bed

I've had canceled orders twice, no the store doesn't want it back. You get paid half of what you would have made when that happens. $20 of free WingStop is manna from heaven

I have a hot bag but I usually leave it upzipped otherwise the food will get hella soggy

I wear a mask only when there's a lot of people around or if I'm dropping off and the goofball customer changed the "contactless drop off" option for whatever reason

Why

Cause my other job was temporarily closed before I could start it and Doom Eternal isn't gonna buy itself

I've had it activated since 2018 but only started actively making deliveries

Whats stopping you from making an order from a separate account, picking up said order as the driver, and then canceling on the other account? Free foods?

I got free food last week from some delivery service that dropped stuff off at my door that I didn't order. I asked my immediate neighbors but nobody claimed it and under the circumstances I didn't want to go knocking on a bunch of stranger's doors.

Is there some penalty for the driver in that situation? I never even saw this person so I didn't know what service to report it to.

Ive never had that happened to me but I am asked to take pictures of the food dropped off and send it to the person if I do a contactless drop off

I've heard that Doordash drivers don't really receive tips like that and you have to tip above a certain percentage of the overall order price for the driver to receive any extra money. Is that true?

Recently my weekly hours got cut from 45 to 22 due to the pandemic. Ive been thinking about DoorDash to compensate for the difference in hours.

If you dont mind me asking, hows the pay? Does it work based on the total of the order, or is it a flat rate?

Yes

It's why I don't take orders lower than $7

Flat rate mostly

I've delivered $45 in food and only gotten $5 but I've also delivered food for nearly the price of the food itself

Can be as low as $3 or as high as $12, it shows you before you choose to accept

On occasion, only the cities surrounding my own

No I don't carry a knife. I don't have what it takes to stab someone, let alone effectively

Never got it because IIRC they said it was only if you did a certain amount of deliveries in the first 30 days lol, sorry fren

Maybe if I ask nicely though

I have my own food bag but I don't seal it up or anything because it'll get soggy fast due to the nature of a food bag

Naturally these lockdowns have been meaning constant business but it also means people are being cheapasses since most places offer free delivery on orders of $10-15, or just free outright.

Don't open the bag, I don't care if the app says "MaKE SuRe To doublE cHECK For uTenSilS sAuceS And NaPkinS" every trip. Most of the fast food bags are sealed and they've all done enough deliveries now to know to include everything. If they have a problem they can take it up with the restaurant

Good luck

I found a leftover Grubhub bag in my apartment lobby (it was sitting there untouched for literally a week, so I swooped it up).

If I were to put it on, walk into any restaurant (that does grubhub), act like I belong, and say "yeah I'm here for the grubhub order," would I have success getting free food? Or do they need to like scan something on your phone?

I know you do doordash so it's not identical but let's pretend it's a doordash bag and the question remains the same

They ask for your name, the customer name, what was in their order, all of the above sometimes. At WingStop I even had to sign a frigging sign-in sheet.

lmao i was dating someone and we got into a lil spat cause she ordered delivery & then buzzed the driver in to the complex. i got annoyed & threw my shoes on to go meet some lost-ass dude in the lobby of an old building asap.

the nerve of people. dang. i had a lyft driver thank me for being at the curb when she arrived - doesn't everybody?? nope.

Nope lol, last time I went into an apartment complex it was only because it was in my hometown and there was ample parking, AND the fact that she said she didnt want to leave her young children alone

Which is all well and good, but shit man, the pizza guys around here dont even leave their car half the time and you want me to walk right up to your apartment door?

Youre a stand-up guy, you

i get take-out via grubhub a lot and usually give them my name - that usually works (my name isn't really common tho). sometimes they'll ask for a phone number.

you may have better luck robbing the amazon instacart freezers in some stores. if you're scum, i mean lol
Yeah I can't imagine I'd ever actually go through with this, but robbing an instacart freezer sounds so shitty lol

I guess I'd be banking on "john" or something

My mom gets off on tipping. Not really, she is just super nice. I did an Instacart order and she asked the driver if tip was already included, he said yeah and my mom gave him $20 extra anyways. We have some money due to my dad's life insurance and my mom has always been generous, anyone doing anything for us is going to get something extra.

To those wondering, DoorDash factors in your tip into the drivers pay in place of their own, so that it balances out.

So if DoorDash normally pays $5 and you tip $2

Theyll pay us $3 instead

This is why I cherry pick rides
