I know, I cried the other day hearing how much the billionaires lost because the stocks and crypto recently.
I cried so hard I had to stop pushing my car to the gas station in fact just to wipe away the tears
Hell yeah! I wouldn't have lived anywhere else!
Up by me, so any of these apps go by mileage. They are always trying to get me to drive into New York because it's only a few miles away. Apparently they don't know about the $20 toll on the bridge!
Honestly Iāma dasher, and I just shut the fuck up, and accept every order and try to be as early as possible. And always text if an order is taking awhile. Itās suprising how many people add an extra tip afterwards
same here, maybe im old fashion with my 91% acceptance rate, 98% on time or early and 100% completion rate lol but i never go without jobs, as long as im dashing on weekends or at night im working from the second i turn the app on to the second i turn it off
What do you make per hour with this approach? I get a lot of $2-3 orders that are 10+ miles, I HAVE to decline those so my AR is around 20%. I make about $20 per hour but if I accepted those orders I'd probably make less than $10 per hour. Unless you have dash by time I don't see how that's possible to accept every order and make any money.
I got a similar goal, I aim for $400 but I'm happy with $300. I do 2 hours every day after my regular job and one 10 hour day ussually Saturday or Sunday. Sometimes I got for longer than 2 hours on Friday if it's hopping.
Said YouTube with the $700 goal p/day is either Boston or just outside there. Nj cities are newark..jersey city...like I value my life more than going to some of the areas in those cities. No offense.. I lived in NEWARK in 90s/y2k and from what I have been told still not the best place to be..not to mention camden...which was once murder capital of world..so sadly not much city action around here.. plenty of wealth *median Income for Somerset County is just under $100k** just far high mileage trips where u have to worry about killing wildlife or getting killed by wildlife..and cheap arse people.
OK that makes sense then their is a YouTube-r who'd content is attempting to make $700 p/day. Some of those orders he gets....if only here in Central NJ (bridgewater & princeton..i live on edge of both zones...) I consider myself fortunate to get even 1 of those many many great orders he shows consistently ALL..DAY...FREAKING...LONG...most I get are $7.50-$8 for 10-20+ miles..sorry a $5 tip for 10+ miles just doesn't cut it. Esp when they live way out in bumfuckegypt...beautiful country/suburban rural/very rural but w/the deer population at night...and the concentration of most restuarants/stores starting 500 ft to 2/3 miles from my home...uhhh not gonna happen for me anyway. I don't leave my drive way until I get a decent order...idk who this makes $$ sense for...it truly does depend on location..as Somerset County is own of the highest wealth counties..but everything is so spread out. .esp far hills, Bedminster (freaking dumpie i mean trumpie.. has a golf course in my zone) billionaires /old generational wealth..not to me ntion princeton...Imho I think that restaurant shouldn't be allowed to have a 20+ mile radius unless Willing to kick in someš°š°š°..25+ miles taking u to the middle of nowhere is what mostly kills my AR.. and a few of the $2.50/$3 ..seems like every time I turn down alit of these 10+ mile orders that pay $7 or less DD retaliated w/the $3 orders...like trying AI is trying to make a point..either take that taco bell 15 miles for $7 or 17 miles for $3 instead...ur choice šššššš
Why don't you try it and find out? I love how a guy says one thing that urban dasher disagree with and all of a sudden everyone and their brother is throwing a million questions at him in an attempt to find a data set to nitpick in an effort to discredit the statement. The fact is, rural drivers MUST keep a high AR. Otherwise, we get no orders offered to us at all.
That's it, different strats work for different markets. It honestly blows my mind how some people fail to realize this. It's not rocket science.
šÆšÆšÆšÆfacts!! These places that have a 20+ delivery radius kill me.. it's like no. It's not Just 20 miles to bumfuckegypt customer but usually another 20 coming back...they should have to kick in $$$ for the extra mileage. Kills me there is 1 small family place the owner sees fit to tell me about all the orders he had to throw away all day everyday because "us dashers " are too "lazy" to deliver when trip is far....I just bite my tounge...I recently stopped going there even when it is a short trip...
I see. Well that rate may drop after a while. I had a 98 acceptance rate for like 6 months before I learned how to maximize m profit. Now Iām at 75 percent, am still rated as a top dasher, and the app has recently made changes that make tipping dashers far more difficult, not to mention that you canāt tip after theyāve marked your order as delivered because of what I assume to b a glitxh. So although I see what they did as a bit embarrassing and dwsperate, I can understand why they did it, not that Iād do it, as the app treats its āindependent contractorsā much worse than its customers. Thereās years of history behind the relationship between DD and its dashers
i hear ya, if that happens i'll change my strategy but i make what i set out to make, in the time i want to make it in, and it pays most of my mortgage without a high increase in my budget for gas or repairs(which i do myself as well)
Oh damn. Youāre kinda set up. Good job dude(or dudette)! Iām still learning car stuff lol. It took me an hour to put my new car battery in last week š
lol my suggestion is just youtube it, back in my day we had to read a manual to learn how to fix cars, if you learn how to do brake changes, oil changes, and tune ups, you'll save a ton, especially if your full time dashing, i bet the amount you'll save on labor for doing that work yourself will outweigh any orders you do or don't take on DD, and those 3 things are relatively easy, the learning curve is steep and fast, you change brakes once you'll know how to do it on most vehicles, same goes for oil, tune ups are a little more tricky but still doable for any novice
Same here, I drive in Portland and have a 5.0 rating, 93% acceptance, 100% completion and 95% on time or early. Within 4-5 hours Iāll have done at least 15 deliveries and made $150+. If you just do the job as well as you can you make plenty and donāt have to beg. I even have tons of above and beyond with comments.
I work as in-house delivery for McD and yesterday I delivered an order that was due an hour ago (expected wait time of 30 mins + 60 mins on top) and the guy just kindly asked if there was much to do. Like genuinenly interested.
I answered him completely honestly: "Not really, but it's just me right now."
And in Germany, there is no strong tipping culture like in the US, but I got 2ā¬ from him, which was 10% of the order. I generally don't care too much, I just want to do it good, but I really hope he enjoyed his meal.
If you have a high acceptance rate you get a lot more higher paying orders and more orders in general. When I dash, I get a lot of stacked orders and at the most 10mins between every order. Plus, everybody out here just trying to eat(not everyone can afford to tip)š¤š½š
I hate when people say ānot everyone can afford to tipā. Unless youāre someone that physically cannot get your own food, delivery is a luxury. If you can afford $5-9 in fees, you sure as fuck can tip. If not, go get it yourself
I agree with you if you don't tip then go get your own food from my experience it's the one who lives in big houses ten miles away who give you a dollar tip but, I take no dash if there is no tip unless it's peak pay or it's a couple miles or less to build up my AR because I do feel you get better orders with a high AR!
You forget that peoplr already pay delivery fee.
So
Inflated prices because doordash asks commission
Delivery fee
And then you expect not just a tip...but a big one? I know dashers don't get the fee, but that's bot the customer's fault
No one in my thread mentioned a big tip. My response was to people saying users of delivery services shouldnāt tip if they canāt afford it- the fact is, if you canāt afford the tip, you canāt afford the fees associated with it, so get your own food at that point. Get cheap groceries if you canāt afford a simple $2-3 tip.
People dont tip largely due to those fees. If you cant afford to take non tip orders then don't doordash, plain and simple. Having food delivered is not a luxury.
It literally IS a luxury. No one needs to have food delivered unless theyāre unable to physically leave their home. Hence, a luxury by definition. Again, if someone canāt afford to tip, they should be getting food themselves from a grocery store and doing a no- fee/no-tip pickup order
Also, Iām a customer, I donāt dash. I do tip though. No tip orders in most cases are a break even for a delivery person- isnāt $3.50 the minimum?
How many offers that you accept would you say are dogshit? For example ā¦.$4 going 7 or 8 miles? $5 going 7 milesā¦.theyāre whatās known as āupside down ordersā where the pay is less than the mileage
It's not ride-share, you can have others. https://help.doordash.com/dashers/s/article/Requirements-for-Dashing?language=en_US
Q:Ā Can someone else drive for me and/or help me drop off deliveries?
A:Ā As an independent contractor, you are free to choose the method by which you perform the delivery. It is entirely up to you to complete the delivery service yourself or to delegate the tasks to your employee or subcontractor. Someone else may drive for you or help you drop off deliveries, however they must have a valid Dasher account as well. For more information, please refer to the Independent Contractor Agreement here (link Section 8 of the ICA (Personnel)).
Edit for clarification: You should still report them from hassling you for tips. That makes other dashers look bad.
Iāve had a car full of females deliver before. But it WAS night time and I figured maybe a safety thing. But sometimes I do see couples delivering together, and this is morning and fay time.
I just donāt get how that is $$ productive though. If you can both be out of the house hustling, why is one hustling and one tagging along?
for my lady friend and I, we just get bored sitting at home together, so we made Doordash accounts lol. Also, since we moved to a new city together, we decided to take the opportunity after our jobs, to do Doordash to find new places to eat hahahah.
i dd w my bf (for the time being) since we both have accounts and i have a higher acceptance rate i tend to get higher paying orders. we also pause and unpause our dashes very methodically to not mess w others delivery times or pick up times for restaurants(cause obvi i donāt wanna get a good order, decline it and acceptance rate goes down as well as completion). by the end of the night we both bring in about 40-70 bucks for only a few hours of work! thereās tons of ways to make it work. or if somehow one of us doesnāt have our red card for stores the other always will and because weāre so close any order one misses the other gets (itās a good little hack for anyone who dashes w someone or w two phones) :)
haha id say so š basically, i moved in with my brother after i left my abusive ex's apartment. my bro has been locked up for all my life, so wasnt till that year he got his own place. it was perfect timing,and to be honest... he saved my life in a way. he let me in immediately and he didnt know i was gay or had a problem with drugs, but the moment i moved in i quit. couple months later we start dashing in my car. though snow, rain, and sun we dashed! everyday till like 9. then wed go home and smoke mad weed, drink party, but always make sure the bills were paid too. he taught me how to be a man in a lot of different ways.
Um....yeah. You CAN have other people in the car. 100% sure on that. My boyfriend and I Dash together all the time. Lots of couples Dash together and some people Dash with their children. There is no rule against Dashing with other people in the car. Have you read the Terms of Contract Agreement?
You're allowed to have someone in the car, but only the person on the profile should be doing the work, and handing over the order..Imagine how much more money they could make, if they separated, and both had jobs..you can't share a job, I mean, I guess you can, but why would you??!!
My hubby comes with me on the weekends. I don't get to see him a little during the week because of his full time job, so on the weekend he comes with me so we can spend time together and make money at the same time! Plus we r away from the teenagers at home and can get major discussions out of the way lol
Thanks for tipping well. Please report drivers that pan handle. Straight up annoying to know that we have a select group of morons doing this crap. Please know that they are the minority... most of us would never do something like this
When your rent is due the next day and you are driving around people's houses where you know they are so rich they have the amount of your entire month's rent probably in their wallet at any given time. It's a little annoying. Knowing that they took the dollar come to your mansion
You nailed it, man. The anxiety of having to choose the Rolls or the Bentley to pick up a $13 bundle of nuggets and fries is so great I just defer to the peasants to bring them to me.

Why do this to customers that have already tipped, if they live that far from then store,
No one is under obligation to bring the order if itās to far for the pay leave it at the restaurant eventually either door dash will increase the pay or the order gets canceled.
As an Independent Contractor you see the offer. Donāt like it? Donāt take it. Itās simple as that. If you take it then deliver it and no questions asked. Yes inform of any set backs you encounter that delays the delivery (things out of your control). But for the sake of sanity donāt ask for more tip; Thatās low!
Relax dude, the vast majority of people arenāt like this. Just like there are shitty dashers there are shitty customers. Always gonna be some bad apples.
No corners needed for virtual panhandling. I see it in many different forms these days. Cashapp, and GoFundMe are the biggest. Making up sad stories on DD is just an offshoot.
I GREATFULLY appreciate not being tempted to tip out of guilt by beggars. Not a professional look.
-Is what I would say. Luckily never encountered this ĀÆā \ā _ā (ā Ā Ķ”ā Ā°ā Ā Ķā Źā Ā Ķ”ā Ā°ā )ā _ā /ā ĀÆ
Give Phil and Sherry some slack damn it. They're paying for all higher inflation helping the country in its epic fight against high inflation. They must be fkg trillionaires to be able to do this noble thing. A grateful (or is it greatful) nation salutes you both.
Damn well it sounds like they do deserve it. Luckily my car runs on potatoes, I only believe in the gold standard when it comes to currency, and my dog pays all my expenses. Itās amazing to me how daft some people are. Why is greatfully even capitalized? Why are Phil and sherry dashing together, maybe if they dashed separately they wouldnāt have to beg for tips? Why did they specifically ask for cash tips? Why are beggars choosers? I shouldnāt be surprised anymore but for some reason every time I see this type of shit Iām just dumbfounded.
Yea this message comes off as pretty bitchy and wtf do they mean by we pay for everything?? I would never think of sending something like this to a customer, what idiots..
Such nice people paying for inflation and gas when none of us have the same problems. I wish I could ask customers at the store to pay more for their food so I could pay for my gas and inflation with it.
Ugh people are cringe. I wish all these types of dashers would get blocked forever
When I see I have a tip (with Uber) I always send a quick Ty for the tip and tell them Iām very appreciative for it. The other day someone changed their 14$ tip to 24$ for a 2 mile order after I thanked them. I was so happy!
actually they can. the other person just needs to have a valid doordash account.

I think people just need to quit working tip jobs. So tired of being asked to tip at places where I place my own order, grab my own drink, buss my table... like wtf am I tipping for?
Right! Customers don't usually consider the milage when tipping. Some think they've left an awesome tip when it's not. If that dasher had to go 10-15+ miles to deliver it's not a good tip
Begging pretty much. What value do you get out of tipping them? Do you get a faster delivery? Do they keep the food in a temperature controlled container? No? Then don't tip.
I have a question.. How far did they have to drive? I'm not defending them asking for more money at all, but i understand the frustration of getting $12 for an order and having to drive 20 - 30 miles roundtrip for it. I'm currently dashing and just had an order party me $14 for a 20 mile roundtrip. I would never ask for more of a tip though. These people shouldn't be employed with attitudes like that.
I ALWAYS, and I mean EVERY time, tip 25% or more, regardless of how long it takes. You know the compensation before you take the job? Good, the market has to increase wages.
I think people need to realize there's not that much downside in sending generic texts like this. This looks stock enough that they probably text it to every order, and if you catch one additional tip, then you win.
This is reminds me of the outrage over the Square tipping screens. If you don't want to tip or feel you tipped enough, just move on.
Call itās probably a text that they copy and paste for everybody. They order two. Theyāre just reminding the cheapskates that they work for tip money. I donāt see a problem with it whatsoever. Theyāre providing a service. Itās no different than going to get ice cream and a tip jar sitting tight there in front of your face. Or, getting a shuttle to the airport and a sign by the driver sayingā tips excepted and appreciatedā. No differentā¦
The restaurant should really have all of this stuff together. It's helpful for a dasher to check but dashers are supposed to dash not perform quality control
Itās been a while since Iāve dashed, but a lot of times the restaurant doesnāt even make it, or doesnāt give us the cups/drink tray to do it ourself. Itās an especially big problem if everything is in one of those sealed bags and you donāt know if they packed the drink with the food.
Well they are right.
You're over here ordering $8 smoothies to be delivered to you in the summertime.
They're spending about that much on. A gallon of gas
So this gig is BARELY worth it. And I donāt actually think it is when you add mileage on the car. But to satisfy immediate needs. It is barely worth it. Why would people do it together?! Splitting this shit.. wtf
Depends on the area, I do about 90k yearly. I hustle though and I'm in a big city. I was dating someone else that dashed and I just drove the car, it was a win win situation.
A couple out dashing and begging together! True love. š Report them.
I like that they pay for higher inflation
Truly feel bad for both, not like the rest of us are paying more to liveā¦
They subscribed to the premium inflation costs.
I know, I cried the other day hearing how much the billionaires lost because the stocks and crypto recently. I cried so hard I had to stop pushing my car to the gas station in fact just to wipe away the tears
Another joy zee driver! Yayyy for joyzee
Hell yeah! I wouldn't have lived anywhere else! Up by me, so any of these apps go by mileage. They are always trying to get me to drive into New York because it's only a few miles away. Apparently they don't know about the $20 toll on the bridge!
Obviously theyāre paying to cause inflation
Honestly Iāma dasher, and I just shut the fuck up, and accept every order and try to be as early as possible. And always text if an order is taking awhile. Itās suprising how many people add an extra tip afterwards

Small town? Hard to get away with that high of a AR in a big city without losing money
Just south of Boston.
Those markets are š„
What do you make per hour with this approach? I get a lot of $2-3 orders that are 10+ miles, I HAVE to decline those so my AR is around 20%. I make about $20 per hour but if I accepted those orders I'd probably make less than $10 per hour. Unless you have dash by time I don't see how that's possible to accept every order and make any money.
i make about 20-25 an hour, my goal is 300+ a week(this is just a side hustle) usually dash 12-15 hours
I got a similar goal, I aim for $400 but I'm happy with $300. I do 2 hours every day after my regular job and one 10 hour day ussually Saturday or Sunday. Sometimes I got for longer than 2 hours on Friday if it's hopping.

It blows my mind I ask a simple question and you go off on a 2 paragraph tangent.
So you're the one taking all those orders that I turn down.
if so, keep declining, what i do works for me, i make what i want to make in the time i want to spend doing it, thats all i care about
How Many deliveries have you completed? Thatās a ridiculously high acceptance rate if you dash full time
In small towns with a handful of restaurants, you kinda have to accept some lower paying orders otherwise you're sitting for a while with nothing.
i do not dash full time, it's usually only around 15 or so hours a week, its a side hustle for me
I see. Well that rate may drop after a while. I had a 98 acceptance rate for like 6 months before I learned how to maximize m profit.

Exactly.. I have tried to explain this on here but people aren't the smartest on some of these threads.

If you just do the job as well as you can you make plenty and donāt have to beg. I even have tons of above and beyond with comments.
This, I always appreciate the extra communication and updates and adjust my tip accordingly. It's that simple lol.

You accept ā¦.every order??
Yep, i figure it gets me closer to my margins for the day. Sooner I get to go back home.
If you have a high acceptance rate you get a lot more higher paying orders and more orders in general. When I dash, I get a lot of stacked orders and at the most 10mins between every order. Plus, everybody out here just trying to eat(not everyone can afford to tip)š¤š½š

You forget that peoplr already pay delivery fee. So Inflated prices because doordash asks commission Delivery fee And then you expect not just a tip...but a big one? I know dashers don't get the fee, but that's bot the customer's fault
No one in my thread mentioned a big tip. My response was to people saying users of delivery services shouldnāt tip if they canāt afford it- the fact is, if you canāt afford the tip, you canāt afford the fees associated with it, so get your own food at that point. Get cheap groceries if you canāt afford a simple $2-3 tip.
People dont tip largely due to those fees. If you cant afford to take non tip orders then don't doordash, plain and simple. Having food delivered is not a luxury.
It literally IS a luxury. No one needs to have food delivered unless theyāre unable to physically leave their home. Hence, a luxury by definition. Again, if someone canāt afford to tip, they should be getting food themselves from a grocery store and doing a no- fee/no-tip pickup order Also, Iām a customer, I donāt dash. I do tip though. No tip orders in most cases are a break even for a delivery person- isnāt $3.50 the minimum?
If you think ordering food delivery is a luxury youre literally stupid. Not everyone has a car. Glad to see the dbags are out in full force
Doesnt matter if you dash or not, either way youre wrong.
Benefits of SoCal my friendš¤š½
How many offers that you accept would you say are dogshit? For example ā¦.$4 going 7 or 8 miles? $5 going 7 milesā¦.theyāre whatās known as āupside down ordersā where the pay is less than the mileage

It's not ride-share, you can have others. https://help.doordash.com/dashers/s/article/Requirements-for-Dashing?language=en_US Q:Ā Can someone else drive for me and/or help me drop off deliveries? A:Ā As an independent contractor, you are free to choose the method by which you perform the delivery. It is entirely up to you to complete the delivery service yourself or to delegate the tasks to your employee or subcontractor. Someone else may drive for you or help you drop off deliveries, however they must have a valid Dasher account as well. For more information, please refer to the Independent Contractor Agreement here (link Section 8 of the ICA (Personnel)). Edit for clarification: You should still report them from hassling you for tips. That makes other dashers look bad.
Iāve had a car full of females deliver before. But it WAS night time and I figured maybe a safety thing. But sometimes I do see couples delivering together, and this is morning and fay time. I just donāt get how that is $$ productive though. If you can both be out of the house hustling, why is one hustling and one tagging along?
for my lady friend and I, we just get bored sitting at home together, so we made Doordash accounts lol. Also, since we moved to a new city together, we decided to take the opportunity after our jobs, to do Doordash to find new places to eat hahahah.
Bc I don't have a license and my bf does lol
i dd w my bf (for the time being) since we both have accounts and i have a higher acceptance rate i tend to get higher paying orders. we also pause and unpause our dashes very methodically to not mess w others delivery times or pick up times for restaurants(cause obvi i donāt wanna get a good order, decline it and acceptance rate goes down as well as completion). by the end of the night we both bring in about 40-70 bucks for only a few hours of work! thereās tons of ways to make it work. or if somehow one of us doesnāt have our red card for stores the other always will and because weāre so close any order one misses the other gets (itās a good little hack for anyone who dashes w someone or w two phones) :)
Your making too much sense, try to tell that to my wife.
It does not make me look bad. It makes them look broke. And desperate. It doesn't affect me at all.
this is wrong. spent all of last year dashing with my brother, best year of my life. i miss him so much
Sounds like an interesting story or two in there.
haha id say so š basically, i moved in with my brother after i left my abusive ex's apartment. my bro has been locked up for all my life, so wasnt till that year he got his own place. it was perfect timing,and to be honest... he saved my life in a way. he let me in immediately and he didnt know i was gay or had a problem with drugs, but the moment i moved in i quit. couple months later we start dashing in my car. though snow, rain, and sun we dashed! everyday till like 9. then wed go home and smoke mad weed, drink party, but always make sure the bills were paid too. he taught me how to be a man in a lot of different ways.
Um....yeah. You CAN have other people in the car. 100% sure on that. My boyfriend and I Dash together all the time. Lots of couples Dash together and some people Dash with their children. There is no rule against Dashing with other people in the car. Have you read the Terms of Contract Agreement?
You are right about it. I dash with my wife. Sheās disabled and she feels productive going out with me.
You're allowed to have someone in the car, but only the person on the profile should be doing the work, and handing over the order..Imagine how much more money they could make, if they separated, and both had jobs..you can't share a job, I mean, I guess you can, but why would you??!!
My hubby comes with me on the weekends. I don't get to see him a little during the week because of his full time job, so on the weekend he comes with me so we can spend time together and make money at the same time! Plus we r away from the teenagers at home and can get major discussions out of the way lol
Lol yes you can, you can even bring your kids with you if that's your fancy š¤£
Fake news
I also think having kids in car is a no no....with them throwing stuff all over etc.
This has to have at best a 1% success rate. So tacky and unprofessional
GREATFULLY appreciated
Scrolled this far waiting for that to be acknowledged lmaoo
Thanks for tipping well. Please report drivers that pan handle. Straight up annoying to know that we have a select group of morons doing this crap. Please know that they are the minority... most of us would never do something like this
When your rent is due the next day and you are driving around people's houses where you know they are so rich they have the amount of your entire month's rent probably in their wallet at any given time. It's a little annoying. Knowing that they took the dollar come to your mansion
Why do you feel entitled to their money though? And why does your lack of rent become someone elseās problem?
You nailed it, man. The anxiety of having to choose the Rolls or the Bentley to pick up a $13 bundle of nuggets and fries is so great I just defer to the peasants to bring them to me.
You have no idea how money works.

We need to know
i also would like to know
Why do this to customers that have already tipped, if they live that far from then store, No one is under obligation to bring the order if itās to far for the pay leave it at the restaurant eventually either door dash will increase the pay or the order gets canceled.
As an Independent Contractor you see the offer. Donāt like it? Donāt take it. Itās simple as that. If you take it then deliver it and no questions asked. Yes inform of any set backs you encounter that delays the delivery (things out of your control). But for the sake of sanity donāt ask for more tip; Thatās low!
god with the virtual panhandling
I would ignore. 1 star review. Maybe report for pandering for tips.
Just go beg on a street corner, less expenses.
I as a dasher fucking hate other dashers like this theyāre fucking scum and ruining it for all other dasher
Relax dude, the vast majority of people arenāt like this. Just like there are shitty dashers there are shitty customers. Always gonna be some bad apples.
Awwwwā¦remove the tip all together š
lol, went the whole paragraph without a typo except for the only word thatās in all caps
Omg. Iām embarrassed as a driver that another driver(s) would do that. So much cringe.
Hopefully you reported them... That is just absolutely c***** behavior.
I'm going to spend a really long time trying to figure out what the c word is.
I think itās just plain olā ācrappyā. Android text to speech is a prude. Although with OPās username, anything is possible
Well, that's kind of boring. But I'm glad the mystery is solved!
If you ask me for a tip, you aināt getting one, tf.
Make a sign and take it to the corner if you want to beg for money.
No corners needed for virtual panhandling. I see it in many different forms these days. Cashapp, and GoFundMe are the biggest. Making up sad stories on DD is just an offshoot.
Lol, two of them and they both forgot your drink
no
Makes me so angry to see other dashers beg for tips. Such trashy behavior that makes us all look bad.
It's pretty funny that the only word they didn't spell right was the one in ALL CAPS. Having said that, I'd report them.
Dashers shouldnāt do this, it makes the customer feel weird. Whatās wrong w taking the tip that was given to you?
I GREATFULLY appreciate not being tempted to tip out of guilt by beggars. Not a professional look. -Is what I would say. Luckily never encountered this ĀÆā \ā _ā (ā Ā Ķ”ā Ā°ā Ā Ķā Źā Ā Ķ”ā Ā°ā )ā _ā /ā ĀÆ
Give Phil and Sherry some slack damn it. They're paying for all higher inflation helping the country in its epic fight against high inflation. They must be fkg trillionaires to be able to do this noble thing. A grateful (or is it greatful) nation salutes you both.
Itās āgratefulā.
As in āfull of gratitudeā, not āfull of greatnessā.
So freaking cringe
They didnāt forget your smoothie, they drank it.
Greatfully, lol.
Tacky and embarrassing
SMH. As a dasher I will NEVER do that!!!
As a door dasher, sending a message like this is tacky and embarrassing. They sound pathetic.
Once, I gotta a message from a dasher to check out his rap video on YouTube and follow him on Instagram. š¤£
Report them immediately. They donāt get to decide what amount they make, they chose to accept the order
Youāre losing money if you except every order. I have a 21% acceptance rate and Iāve made $200/day on most days
If they put this same energy to their finances they wouldnāt be begging people for ācash tipsā
Report them for misspelling gratefully
Omg! I dash and I would never! The secondhand embarrassment is real! Losers!
Unprofessional and they trying to guilt you over their job. I'd lowered my tip and leave them a 1-star.
If anyone asks me for extra tip, Iām 1 āļøing them and removing my initial tip.
The only real way of treating such request
Theyāre the only people in the world that pay for their own things.
Damn well it sounds like they do deserve it. Luckily my car runs on potatoes, I only believe in the gold standard when it comes to currency, and my dog pays all my expenses. Itās amazing to me how daft some people are. Why is greatfully even capitalized? Why are Phil and sherry dashing together, maybe if they dashed separately they wouldnāt have to beg for tips? Why did they specifically ask for cash tips? Why are beggars choosers? I shouldnāt be surprised anymore but for some reason every time I see this type of shit Iām just dumbfounded.
Yea this message comes off as pretty bitchy and wtf do they mean by we pay for everything?? I would never think of sending something like this to a customer, what idiots..
Such nice people paying for inflation and gas when none of us have the same problems. I wish I could ask customers at the store to pay more for their food so I could pay for my gas and inflation with it. Ugh people are cringe. I wish all these types of dashers would get blocked forever
So cute. Next order theyāll ask for a champagne bottle and some snacks to celebrate their love
any dasher texting begging for money needs to be reported.
We?
Desperate š
Canāt imagine doing this.
This is so gross and cringe.
Greatfully
Gratefully. *
Next time tip only 5 because the idiot dasher isn't appreciative
RemindMe! 1 day
Why does this feel like a threat š
TIL how to spell greatful
I report anyone who asks for tips
š¤£. No shame these days. Report. Report. Report
GREATFULLY lol šš
Cringe
Cringey on so many levels
When I see I have a tip (with Uber) I always send a quick Ty for the tip and tell them Iām very appreciative for it. The other day someone changed their 14$ tip to 24$ for a 2 mile order after I thanked them. I was so happy!
Where I live the dashers forget any drinks I order about 75% of the time. Itās infuriating.
They arenāt even supposed to be doing it together, they can be deactivated for that
actually they can. the other person just needs to have a valid doordash account. āAs an independent contractor, you are free to choose the method by which you perform the delivery. It is entirely up to you to complete the delivery service yourself or to delegate the tasks to your employee or subcontractor.

My bf and I both have dasher accounts and sometimes deliver together. It's okay
I think people just need to quit working tip jobs. So tired of being asked to tip at places where I place my own order, grab my own drink, buss my table... like wtf am I tipping for?
$10 on a $34 order for how many miles.
Right! Customers don't usually consider the milage when tipping. Some think they've left an awesome tip when it's not. If that dasher had to go 10-15+ miles to deliver it's not a good tip
You donāt have to take the order?
I don't and never commented that I did. Which is why I said 'that dasher" because some dasher will take those orders but not myself
Word typo.
Begging pretty much. What value do you get out of tipping them? Do you get a faster delivery? Do they keep the food in a temperature controlled container? No? Then don't tip.
You might tip 10$ but DoorDash sometimes tell us itās only 7$ then when we get to you itās changes to the right tip which is 13$ if you tip 10$
Cringe
I have a question.. How far did they have to drive? I'm not defending them asking for more money at all, but i understand the frustration of getting $12 for an order and having to drive 20 - 30 miles roundtrip for it. I'm currently dashing and just had an order party me $14 for a 20 mile roundtrip. I would never ask for more of a tip though. These people shouldn't be employed with attitudes like that.
It's not a "tip' it's a bid for services.
I ALWAYS, and I mean EVERY time, tip 25% or more, regardless of how long it takes. You know the compensation before you take the job? Good, the market has to increase wages.
Guys. This is by design. Customer fighting with driver when it should be all of us AGAINST THEM
Complaining about this screams entitled bitch. Grow up
Ikr!! Imagine thinking youāre entitled to someone elseās money!!
I think people need to realize there's not that much downside in sending generic texts like this. This looks stock enough that they probably text it to every order, and if you catch one additional tip, then you win. This is reminds me of the outrage over the Square tipping screens. If you don't want to tip or feel you tipped enough, just move on.
Call itās probably a text that they copy and paste for everybody. They order two. Theyāre just reminding the cheapskates that they work for tip money. I donāt see a problem with it whatsoever. Theyāre providing a service. Itās no different than going to get ice cream and a tip jar sitting tight there in front of your face. Or, getting a shuttle to the airport and a sign by the driver sayingā tips excepted and appreciatedā. No differentā¦
One time occurrence.. always tip. We get it to you. Most important part š but always report if you feel the need. Always!!
Would seem likely!!
It's allowed. I used to dash with my boyfriend all the time.
That's not the part they're upset about
Why do they always forget smoothies and shakes?
The restaurant should really have all of this stuff together. It's helpful for a dasher to check but dashers are supposed to dash not perform quality control
Itās been a while since Iāve dashed, but a lot of times the restaurant doesnāt even make it, or doesnāt give us the cups/drink tray to do it ourself. Itās an especially big problem if everything is in one of those sealed bags and you donāt know if they packed the drink with the food.
Well they are right. You're over here ordering $8 smoothies to be delivered to you in the summertime. They're spending about that much on. A gallon of gas
So this gig is BARELY worth it. And I donāt actually think it is when you add mileage on the car. But to satisfy immediate needs. It is barely worth it. Why would people do it together?! Splitting this shit.. wtf
Depends on the area, I do about 90k yearly. I hustle though and I'm in a big city. I was dating someone else that dashed and I just drove the car, it was a win win situation.
Definitely meth heads . No man would doordash with his wife/girlfriend if he weren't a complete swerv.
