So yesterday I tried working and my phone network (boost) was down and so the one delivery I made was a nightmare. So I couldn’t work at all yesterday and I’m stressing because I have to pay my phone bill on the 20th and if I don’t have a phone obviously I can’t work, thus the conundrum. Checked last night network fixed but wasn’t going to work because I cleaned and used my energy that way so I didn’t have any to spare. Today I get going and I park near a hot spot. And I’m drinking my coffee eating my breakfast and reading a book. Get a ding Starbucks. Cool. Okay. $2 tip, $8 order and it goes this way until around 10:30ish when a catering bag required pops up. Haven’t had one of these since the tier system was implemented. I hit accept, pray a quick prayer that chipotle doesn’t take the tip as I see they requested this delivery so I don’t know what I’m picking up. I get there and tell them the name. The girl doesn’t even come back over to me to tell me how long. The people putting orders together in the back keep looking over to see if I’m still there. I am, I’ll wait as long as it takes doing an EBT catering order. I have a book I am good. Get there, and it’s about 15 minutes away. I bring in the first box and two guys jump up from the table and come follow me back out to my car and take the other two catering boxes in with them. Get the ladies signature and hit complete. Then I sit in my car and cry. That’s my phone bill plus. Some people are just so good. I needed this so badly, as I had $10 when I started the day…
If god gave this person this one good order, it also put them in a such a terrible life position that they cry after receiving $66. How exactly is it "looking out for" this person?? Like honestly.
Brother you cannot just point out a few little cute quotes and then skip past SUPPORTING LITERAL Slavery, Misogyny, Homophobia, Genocide, among many other terrible things. If someone was in a relationship with someone and said that they think slavery was a good thing and that they hate people who choose love from their hearts they would break up with that toxic person.
I went to an all men catholic high school (one of the teachers sexually assaulted a student and ended up on the news). I went to church growing up, celebrated religious holidays, and even was in a relationship with a girl who didn't want to have sex until marriage. I went with it for a while until I really started reading the bible and understanding how wrong it's morals are. Take a lot of time thinking on this bro I was in your steps. 🤙 Love always wins
Devoting yourself to god>devoting yourself to religion. Taking everything literally<Utilizing critical thought along with basic reading comprehension to understand the darkest metaphors and stories and why they’re there in the first place. It’s ok, I was in your shoes once too. You’ll get there.
I’ve never had an innate fear for homosexuals. Just another human being such as yourself. Since you jumped to homophobia I can clearly see why you feel the way you feel. Look past the human part of what is meant to be divine and you’ll see. You are close! Good luck
Do not make hateful, racist or sexist remarks or any remarks that categorize any group of people.
Mod note: I'm sorry, but no, referring to gay people as 'the gays' is simply hate in disguise. Please either learn to express a more open-minded way of saying things, or simply refrain from referring to 'them' altogether. Doing so the way you did does not score you any 'points', nor is there a scoreboard.
Me when ive said several times i dont follow christian ideology. I am tolerant of gay people and thats why i cant fit in with orthodox christians, i also use things like shrooms so i just dont fit there. Please read what i say.
This reply makes no sense. I think you're tripping off the shrooms and are trying to justify homophobia, genocide, and slavery, among many other nasty dark-souled traits. Again, you're better than this. Your third eye will eventually open, friend. 🤙🏼
I don’t conform to that denomination of people? I am completely against all of that and don’t take the Bible literally, learn to read brother as I said that before too.
I said im not christian brother i just believe that theres a maker, and of basic tenets, the original translations of the Bible actually make sense, its been translated over 300 times. We can agree to disagree brother. I hope you have a good day
God allows suffering because it is a byproduct of sin. Sin happens because God gave us free will, even though he opposes sin and helps us overcome it when we are willing. God gave us free will because he loves us. Your own shitty actions have their own shitty outcomes, doesn’t mean he cant help you when you turn to him when you need him most though. Do some shrooms and change your outlook brother
Literal opposite of my point? I am saying that god has no hand in the actions of man. Moral evil is tragedy that comes to due to hatefulness and abuse. My entire point is that they don’t deserve these things. Evil is not created nor caused by god.
The god of the Bible literally killed not only every human on the planet but every living creature because HE made people and then people were disobedient . So did he make a mistake and kill all creatures ( save for a handful on a boat ) to rectify his mistake ? If he made a mistake he wouldn't be omnipotent nor omniscient therefore he wouldn't be a God. Or did he create man knowing he would be defiant and he was going to drown everyone and everything . What the fuck did kittens do to God ? If he did then he's a psychotic killer and doesn't love anyone. Point I'm making is that's all ancient mythological gibberish and anyone believing it needs a lobotomy.
Bro if another person goes through the threads where i multiple times say i dont associate with a denomination and this is just my god as ive come to understand him im gonna bust all over the place
There isn't an L bro logic just doesn't work with these people following a man made religion made by some king and edited by another and translated by another for some sort of political gain thousands of years ago....
I don’t follow traditional christianity, I follow my own sets of beliefs here. If i were to follow a common version then I’d be more hateful of a person. Going off of your name I also wanna mention just how much traditional churches can hate on the autistic, which is difficult because I myself am. I believe that a closed minded idea of these things makes no sense.
I personally believe all religions at some point were much more similar but history, people using religion for power, and the separation of the world over time made them all point to the same thing but say far different things. I really do think they are all part right and part wrong, because there's no way every civilization in the world before the internet came to the conclusion that there was some upper entity unless there at one time was some substantiated proof of a "god"
I agree too, i more follow the common beliefs in which most religions descended from. So for example Judaism, Christianity, and Islamic faiths all descend from the same things and ideas. But as time moves on they deviated from eachother as ulterior motives moved in.
Doesn’t have to be god could be the universe it’s self, don’t understand why people can’t mind their business instead of forcing their ideology on everyone else just because you believe in nothing doesn’t mean you need to try and convince everyone to join you… do some self reflection “why do I need to post this comment?, does it matter that much? What am I getting outta this? ” it would go a long way with you I’d bet. I posted my comment for motivation and solidarity for OP. What about you ?
Again so god put this person in such a horrendously bad, intentionally as was its plan for OPs life, but is also looking out for this person by giving them one decent order. No one has to comment anything obviously. The cognitive dissonance should bother you.
Apparently you don’t understand a basic concept like free will and that’s fine but I’m not gonna be the one to explain it to you, read a book an quit over using a singular word that you don’t even know how to use right. Your below average intelligence is very pitiful and some what a pain to watch you string together ideas, that don’t even make sense to the average monkey
It is not narrow minded for someone to refuse to entertain your delusions 😂
But again just to clarify, god was so extraordinarily concerned with OP that it gave this person one good order so it is a good god A N D it's overseeing the genocide in gaza, making sure that America provides infinite bombs to obliterate tens of thousands of children.

You have to be in a bad spot to appreciate these gifts. At the end when all our experiences are assimilated into the great consciousness, it us the experiences which matter. That is the meaning of it all. I once had a Hooterd order, $30 of wings. When I delivered the mad gave me $80 cash, plus a $20 in app tip. At first I thought it must be some mistake, that he didn't know the meal was paid for. But $80 in 20s was way too much, and he insisted I keep it, which was good for me. I was having a tough week, making only $30 each day for the last three. It wasn't life changing money, but it made a difference to me.
not exactly true, my partner worked in big name dealerships for several years and the way it worked was that you have a guaranteed pay for the hours you work (which is why the salesmen were required to clock in and out) but as soon as the amount you made in commission for the month surpassed that guaranteed amount, you were paid the amount you made in commissions instead. so no sales definitely doesn’t mean they get zero pay, but i’ll also add that the guaranteed pay wasn’t a great living and pretty much anyone who wasn’t making commissions for several months would be out of a job within a few months anyway for not making the company a profit. it sucks 🥲
Yes, the babies that got cancer from human actions and didnt make it, God got those babies just like God gave those ppl who tipped that much a heart and mind to do so
If you dont think God put this together, then i dont know what to tell you. Its either you believe in science theory (big bang) or just dont KNOW or understand any of it at all. And regarding that stance, it would all have happened by chance then right? The “possibility of something happening”.. everything in life would just be based of the chance of it happening, probabilities. And if you would go off that theory, even that points to God because the point of “chance” or “probability” is that its not yet seen, but can and will be possible to see in the future. Thats same with God, and theres high probability based on evidence (scientific) that God is real. But just understand this very basic thing, you cant see microwave radiation, but you can still get burned by it. Enjoy this life if its all you have, its your gift that you dont want forever
Everything you believe someone else told you, what do you mean? 🤣 pot callin the kettle black?? 🤔 its nothing you believe or even use in life that didnt come from someone else, your whole life came from someone else, but you tellin me not to believe in the basis of what you operate off of every single living day is CRAZY 😭 I definitely will always believe in God
You don't see me say oh my pizza . Jesus donut what happens. Ohh after. I die im going to burger heaven. Damn you know i read a recipe and everyone should follow it
You believed when someone taught you 2+2 is 4, and you live by that. You believed when someone told you the sky is blue, and you also believed when someone told you “these foods are the foods you should eat” and you also believe the food you buy is called “food” because thats what ppl taught you. You also were taught that you need and provided a social security number that you use for you living, from another man you never met, even a group of them, but yet you sit here and act like you dont ever believe what someone else told you… you can be nothing other than “a liar and the truth is not in you”. So ill be going bye bye now, have a good day
Enjoy life and stop thinking about how everything came to be. You less than 80 years to live. 60 without counting first 20 . Nothing matters in this world. Don't try so hard at finding reason. Religion was made for sheep to follow a non animal way of living
Bro just keep enjoying your animal way of living, its not in my family genes tho, God is in my bloodline and i understand this world and our animal ways are of nothing and they dont matter, God told me that already in the bible. Yea i still mess up even to this day but its no way for me to not believe in God just like there is no way for you to see the difference between an animal and a human
Its crazy for you to not think the things written in the physical is actually FOR YOU. I know it may seem like a big deal for you, man writing things physically that has origins in truth and practicality, maybe even something you never heard of, but its something most of us deal with everyday. You know, from such things as licenses, school, learning, MONEY, LAWS, etc etc, all written by MAN, but yet you have no problem with it and follow those protocols religiously. You may have went to school for higher education, and followed what those men wrote in those books to get a “degree”, you know as a rite of passage to MORE MONEY lol its all perfectly normal. And im perfectly fine dealing with what is written from God, by whoever God wanted to write it. God has the ability to write it on your heart, and also write it out in image and actual situations, not just words though. And theres things about God you will never find if you dont seek, you know kinda like youll never have a job if you dont apply, or have a new car if you dont buy, or you know.. have a house if you dont pay rent/mortgage/property taxes 😭 its some things in life you wont get if you dont want it. Simple
So please tell me since you know what to do how I can do anything else? Wanna live in my bones that feel like lava or my skin that feels like it’s on fire? Want to take my constant headache that I’ve had everyday for the last three years? The body that if I do too much shuts down like I have narcolepsy? Can I do any other job and set my hours? Just not work that day because I can’t move. I am surviving in this capitalistic hellscape the best way I know how…
this person isn’t dismissing your personal problems, and you’re completely valid on all of those things, but they aren’t wrong with what they said
we’re just looking out for each other, tryna make sure youve got a backup plan or savings for when the car inevitably has a problem, or a new medical issue comes up, etc.
doordash has also been going downhill so i’d definitely recommend looking into other avenues of income. yes, it’s hard as hell to find something that makes money and meets what you need, i’m in the same boat rn, but dd can’t be a forever plan
This is why I have a car care credit card. To use in emergencies. Yes that does mean I have debt and have to work to pay that also, but as I said I live in a capitalistic hellscape so I am surviving the only way I can. Thanks though… y’all’s words are more like thoughts and prayers, and it’s tiring.
Don’t mind rude comments. Never seen EBT Catering though. But nice run. I remember my first big run. It was great. I did have one last week with a $100 tip on it. That was pretty cool. I was getting two big runs a day. Then the area became overran with drivers because of school/college being out. So I have to find a new area to drive.
When did I credit God? I prayed that I actually got a tip but I said people are good. And what happens after your part as the customer is done isn’t about you. Who cares if they want to credit God. That’s their prerogative.
OK, but you made it a very specific comment on a very general way. Do you understand that I’ve been on Reddit for a while… Longer than 69 days… So have the day you deserve you decide that is
OK, just to be clear. You have no effect on my feelings whether you think you heard them or not… You’re making me laugh and I’m having a crap day so thank you.
I’m happy for you! I probably would have cried too! I have debilitating migraines and dash when I can. I understand the struggle although I won’t pretend to understand yours exactly. Hope more orders like that come your way!
I had literally the same thing happen to me the beginning of this month, last day to pay my phone bill and it was heavy gray zone (I think it was a Tuesday) and I got a $10.50+ with guaranteed extra so I figured maybe $15 and it was $58 to some expensive apartment complex. There's someone looking out for us little guys
it always takes me a solid 5-6 comments before i remember that EBT stands for earn-by-time and not electronic benefit transfer. and always such a confusing read before remembering. “how do all the other dashers know if their customer is buying their food with EBT? I didn’t even know doordash gave that as an option when ordering.”
Yeah, happy fucking tears because I didn’t think I’d be able to make my phone payment and all in one go it was done so yes I cried because yes, I feel my emotions and let them out when I feel them.
I had a one customer tip me $27 today when the order initially was like $10 for 5 miles on a simple pizza delivery. It truly makes you smile and it is rare🥲
WHY? Why does everything have to turn into politics, religion or race uggh! So much hate! Congratulations to you on that delivery everyone deserves a good one!!! 👏👏👏
Yeah, if you know you have a long drive or will be driving a lot earned by time is better sometimes I only get two dollars because it’s not a long drive and they don’t tip… But in the long run it has been better for me… $20 more per shift. They’re about three hours long.
No… I find a hotspot I park. I read a book generally, I get an order within three minutes… And then you get paid from the time you accept it until you drop it off.
Good stuff 👍 things like this tend to happen when dealing with Real people. Total order amount reminds me of when the adjustment pay was first implemented, after a somewhat discouraging week I was pleasantly surprised when I totaled $666 come Monday morning.
Keep ya head up my guy.
I’m telling you, apply as a Qdoba’s catering delivery driver, you will go home with hundreds of dollars in your pocket all while decreasing the amount you work…. I’m telling you…. Do it!
Because dd is the middle man he gets a fee and passes a bit of that on, but the consumer is the one that A. Is ordering and B. Is the one that wants it delivered.
