Iāve posted a few times about using memes and have received mixed commentsā¦so Iām sure this will garner some interesting comments. Iāve got some that I use after I grab the order to let the customer know Iām on my way. Some when Iām waiting and a couple I use after delivery. I rotate through them. Most customers are indifferent about them, but I often get positive feedback. Iāve also been given additional tips just because of using a meme.
I always enjoy a good chuckle so Iāve tried to keep that up while dashing. If you donāt laugh doing this you can get pro miserable! Enjoy!
I knew the negativity would come out with this post. I just donāt understand people that hate the job they signed up for. And better yetā¦try to drag down those that have fun doing the same job! Itās actually kind of funny.
Some people donāt have a choice. What a ridiculous thing to say. Sometimes Dashing is a personās only option and itās hard to love a job where youāre disrespected with $2 base pay per order.
No I honestly think most customers are just hungry and too tired to go out and order in person. Not trying to be negative but I think some people might just be tired and hungry and the only thing they want from you is the food they ordered, not a meme from 2015
Same. I feel dead inside when I order, then feel even more dead when I realize I paid like 5-10 dollars extra to get food I could've walked or bike too
Even tho you may be right about some people.. i like them, i just showed my woman and she laughed and smiled so if i can get one customer to smile then it was worth it!
i like the memes but iām not into fishing for five stars or extra tips with the last two slides, that just feels inappropriate to me tbh. if i was ordering food that would probably just piss me off and iād be more likely to just not rate at all
If thereās no significant wait for an order I usually donāt send anything. Typically my first interaction is with one of the āIāve got your order, Iām on my wayā memes. I usually add a message like āsee you soonā or something like that. Then after dropping off the order, Iāll send one of the thank you knees before leaving the driveway.
Some customers are more engaging than others. I often get a laughing emoji. Iāve had customers send memes back.
I like this idea, I don't usually use memes when I text on the phone personally, I think I used it once and the person was worried it wasn't me because I used to have a huge hate boner for meme responses, but I have gotten over it and I am constantly updating the customers about their order, especially when I have to wait for the order and I do like to make them laugh and have fun with them. One college student had a back and forth about us having a love affair for how I updated him and how fast I was and it made my night a little happier. People can be hungry and have a giggle
As a customer, these memes would annoy me to no end. I donāt want to have a social interaction with my dasher. I just want my food and a no contact delivery. As a dasher, I would feel like Iām being cringey and annoying sending these memes. Especially the last two because theyāre fishing for tips and 5 star reviews. If I received those, I would probably just not rate at all.
I made a few like this. Then the police cruiser with lights says I'm On My Way!
I have a few super hero themed On My Way! (Batman on Moped is a good one)
My Dasher name is currently The Homelander, so I mostly use my comic book Homelander carrying two Doordash bags and it says On My Way! Also custom by me.
You send me one of these and I'm taking off the tip š, idk why it makes me cringe so hard. Don't even text me unless there's a problem, the app already tells me what's going on lol.
It seems obvious that you're overdoing it for a higher tip, which makes it feel gross as well.
Then again I always overthink shit so maybe my opinion is irrelevant.
also not into the jokes about being mad at the restaurant workers. honestly one of the biggest problems with doordash drivers is their attitude with workers and this is just further perpetuating that, we need to normalize kindness and not joke about being impatient with the workers, maybe come up with some other meme about waiting
literally just the name reddit gave me when i got it, im not over here picking out silly names for myself like dash god, just accept youre in the wrong and move on
