On Sunday I got an offer for around $7.50 going 3 miles. Easy accept. The order was just one pizza going to a hotel.

I got there and I was told they’re still working on it. I was like no problem, I used the bathroom and finished some food in my car that I had just bought.

When I went back inside 5 minutes later, I asked how long it would be and they said 3-4 minutes. Again, not a problem, the drive to the dropoff was very short so the order would still be worth it. Or so I thought.

5 minutes later it still wasn’t ready. I asked another employee how much longer and they said 10 minutes. WHAT?! I was just told 3-4 minutes 5 minutes ago! Now they’re adding another 10???

This guy had the nerve to ask why I was annoyed too. I tried to explain that I get that they’re busy but I’d like them to be honest about how long it’ll take. He didn’t listen and kept yelling at me.

I unassigned after that and got another order, but not after I had wasted over 15 minutes driving to the restaurant and waiting for an order that wasn’t going to be ready anytime soon.

Restaurants that do this merry go round with the estimated ready times are SOOOO annoying. Either they don’t understand that we lose money with long waits, or they don’t care. I wish DD would let us report them and hold them accountable but we all know that will never happen.

I remember as recently as a year ago, GH was still a really good app to have in the arsenal. I’d get at least 1-2 very good orders per shift and about 10-20% of my weekly earnings would come from GH. And this was with a low acceptance rate not on a scheduled block.

Now I turn on the app and it’s dead, and when it’s not dead, it’s a constant stream of garbage. Not sure if it’s just my market or what. But I haven’t seen a single GH offer worth accepting in weeks. Everything I get is either $2-3 trash or less than $1/mile. And if it’s over $1/mile, it’s long distance and going somewhere I can’t get more orders.

I’m sure it’s better if you’re pro or premier or whatever. I just can’t bring myself to accept the trash they send to maintain any sort of tier though. Cherry picking still works pretty well on all the other gig apps, but it seems to be dead on GH, with the exception of abnormally busy nights.

I ran into a new issue today with my iPhone 15 Pro and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

Basically, when the brightness of my screen gets above a certain threshold, there will be a greenish hue on the screen with some faintly visible horizontal lines. If the screen isn’t too bright but near that threshold, it will flicker between the normal display and the screen with that greenish hue. And that screen is noticeably brighter than the normal one.

This doesn’t happen on the lock screen for some reason. Only when my phone is unlocked. Which makes me think it’s a software issue and not something wrong with the phone. Or maybe I’m just being naively optimistic.

I’ve tried messing with the brightness settings which didn’t work. Turning the phone off and on again doesn’t work either. My iOS is up to date.

I just have no clue what this issue could be. Hopefully someone out there can point me in the right direction.
