Saw these signs at a restaurant I was picking up at

They seem to think pretty highly of themselves to call themselves a golden goose... I'm tempted to start some small talk next time I get an order from there so they'll block me since they're always a pain.

Weirdest interaction

It baffles me how some people talk to me but this was a new one. Was a hand to customer and could tell he was stoned (4/20 in full swing) but he gave me a $10 so I’ll take it. 😂

Would this had been rude to send to a costumer as a joke?

My customer had an Arby’s order and I was wondering if sending joke like this can be considered as rude. I didn’t send it, I was just wondering.

UINCORN

The Lowe’s 1 item was a box of trash bags, I’m convinced the person must have messed up typing the tip in, but who cares!

This was my second day Dashing on my e-scooter.

I get a real world range of about 36 miles per battery charge. I've been taking short-distance orders. I live in a dense urban environment. The scooter is a Kaabo Mantis King GT.

Doordash! Got free food tonight!

Went and picked up Pizza Hut tonight and when I got there the guy told me at the counter that the customer called and said that they wanted the address changed somewhere that was 14 mi away from the original spot, which was originally right down the road, less then 1 miles.. I told the guy behind the counter I was delivering it to the address that DoorDash gave me. It was a hand to customer.Ended up getting to the address and it's literally the woods. No mailbox, No street, no anything... Tried calling the customer and DoorDash gave me an era and able to complete process message...SOOOOO i did what any sane person would do. I pulled over on the side of the street waited a good 60 seconds and then hit that Mark as delivered option. Anyone else have stuff like this happen?

Notice of tip before I even picked up the order 🤔

A got to the restaurant and they told me they did not have a to go order. After looking in the computer, they of course saw there was an order and started it. I relayed this issue to the customer, and decided I would stay since it was already a good paying order. He told me he would add a tip in the app and then I got the notice of the tip while I’m still sitting and waiting for the order. I thought that was super weird and something I have never had happen.

This mapping system…

I’ve never used anything worse than the doordash map. It is convenient to have it there, but oh my god is it actually so stupid. It’s like it can’t see every road at once, even telling me to take a left turn when a right turn would shave off literally 3 minutes and it’s not even a shortcut or side road. Not to mention that literally every single time I open the map when I’m stationary it wants me to do a 180 flip in a neighborhood. The U turn thing is also insane to me, it’s not really optimized for safety at all and it shows.

How often do you guys risk your lives for someone's food??

Customer here, last night my area had massive tornadoes I wasn't aware would be smacking us so I ordered food. I had to BEG this person not to deliver it because it was too dangerous and I was hiding under my house at the time with no power lol. Ended up increasing tip and then cancelling so I'd take the hit for it, nobody's lazy cheat meal is worth your life

How stupid were their last dashers that they had to send me this many messages. No their apartment or building was not hard to find, at all. No, their call box was not difficult to use

DoorDash algorithm …

Can anyone explain to me why doordashes algorithm is so weird and random? I would hit platinum level , doordash offers me sht $2 $4 orders….but when I decline no tip orders I’m given high tips in gold and silver status? that doesn’t make sense

DoorDash support told me to raise my acceptance rate

As the title says. Basically I called support today because my app wasn’t working and while trying to fix my app the support guy randomly says “oh your acceptance rate is 25% you need to raise this for me.” He then proceeded to question me about it and said “why is your acceptance rate so low.” I told him gas is expensive and I am not going to accept orders that pay $5 and make me drive 10+ miles and he repeated “you need to raise this acceptance rate for me that’s not a good reason you’re providing.” I literally called the person to talk about why my app wasn’t working. Is this normal? Is this something that happens to everyone? My app issue had nothing to do with orders btw if anyone is wondering.

How can anyone make decent money.

This is unreal. In San Francisco it’s like this everywhere. I live 2 blocks from here and figured I could dash from home (which works super late or super early) DD doesn’t care they just want their cut (which is about 60 to 70% of the juice, probably more. I did pizza delivery before all these apps and a slow night was $150. Busy Friday $450+. Now all that goes to DD. Blood sucking vampires.
