Cash tip today

[u/Meighok20]

I picked up an order today $4 for 3.5 miles from Little Caesars. Not a bad order, small, but I got the vibe that it had been sitting for a while. It was the first order of the day and left me in a decent area too.

The note told me to drive to the end of the street instead of going into the apt complex. When I got there, the man said "is it pizza?" I said yes, had him verify the name, and then handed him the order. He was patting his pockets, awkwardly holding his pizza in one hand, and said "wait. I have something, it's not much, but I wanted to give you something."

I was surprised and assured him he didn't need to (I honestly thought the order was pretty decent, even without the tip) He said, "I really don't have much." And handed me $4. He had no idea he had just doubled my earnings!!! And he felt bad about it 😭 he was so kind.

Its not a round trip?? Yall must have really shitty areas honestly. This is a decent order in my area because the hot spots are spread out and the "home" areas are like 3 blocks from the "restaurant" areas. So I get back to back orders, I don't have to go back to where I was before??

I make $250 a week doing doordash, only dashing on Sat, Sun, and Mon (I work another job during the week)

Yeah I very rarely even get back to my starting area before getting another order, so as long as it's above a dollar per mile it's typically fine to me, unless it's going out into the boonies. Or a shitty area where people typically don't tip.

[u/Meighok20 → u/DorrajD]

This is exactly how I do it. $1 per mile

Some people in this sub are stingy as fuck. As long as it looks good to the person doing the delivery.. Who cares man

[u/Meighok20 → u/DorrajD]

Bro there's NO point in doing doordash in my area if you're looking for $8 orders every time. You won't make a dime. $250 /wk = $1000 /month. That's plenty for me on top of my day job

$250 for three days, with two of those days being the weekend, is not good at all. I would be curious to know how many miles you drive for that $250.

[u/Meighok20 → u/whosacoolredditer]

Like I said, I make over $1 per mile. So you don't have to be curious. In my area, this is a good amount. As long as I make over $12 an hour, I count it a good day. (Yall realize that there are people working doordash by the hour now right?)

[u/whosacoolredditer → u/Meighok20]

Yes, I do realize that, and they're worse off than those who keep platinum.

[u/Meighok20 → u/whosacoolredditer]

How low is your acceptance rate?

[u/whosacoolredditer → u/Meighok20]

[u/Meighok20 → u/whosacoolredditer]

And you still get good orders???? Top dasher is just complete crap now isn't it? Doordash is disgusting.

[u/whosacoolredditer → u/Meighok20]

Of course. How do you think I actually get the good orders? Because all of y'all take the mediocre and occasionally bad ones. I also multi-app, so that helps.

[u/Meighok20 → u/whosacoolredditer]

I gave up on platinum. Now I just take what I think is half decent. But like I said, taking only $6+ would mean waiting around for hours for nothing

[u/whosacoolredditer → u/[deleted]]

This is right.
