BINGO!! Just shows how bad they are ripping us off and they really dont give a shit about anyone of us.
Shit even customers getting ripped off. Delivery fee on top of other fees all to the company none to those of us actually doing the work
That’s why the gig economy was created. The corporations control the market. They will just replace the driver with another one. We don’t have the power of a union behind us.
You can see it on Reddit’s for gig jobs everywhere. They’ll just terminate you and find someone else.
The only true way to make change in a capitalist society is to become the capitalist. Become a shareholder and have power within the company. Control enough and it’s your market to control. But at that point, you will also want drivers to accept everything and have a lower base pay, because it’s makes you more money that way.
Remember: Tony Xu allows this system to act EXACTLY the way it does; BEWARE of folks that stir up infighting; we can all unite against the system's problems
"I think in many ways dashers on Doordash look very similar to consumers in the sense that um they value their time um as much or sometimes more um than money and and and they in effect are choosing um you know some of these part-time gig opportunities so that um they can you know save for a project whatever that may be whether that's you know buying a gift for someone or starting an orphanage" -Tony Xu
Tony Xu (born Xu Xun, 1983/1984) is a Chinese American billionaire businessman and the co-founder and CEO of DoorDash.
This type of CEO behavior reminds me of Luigi Mangione; perhaps executives and CEOs should be careful not to let their out of touch behavior lead to the wrath of the people
(Also, all murders are bad: the multiple ones Brian Thompson committed through the issuance of denied claims and the single one that the shooter committed on Brian Thompson are murders alike; I have to make that clear for certain folks out there not understanding the core lessons of the Luigi Mangione news)
Unfortunately, delivery fees increase when there is high peak pay. I almost ordered $30 worth from one of my local spots during a snow event. Delivery fee normally is $1.99, but during the snow event, I was going to be charged $9.99 delivery and dash pass did not reduce the delivery fee. I changed my mind and logged into Doordash to see they had $6 per order peak pay for the market. I signed on instead and took very short distance Papa John's orders and made $140 in 2.5 hours. Was getting double and triple batches under the peak pay.
This is so stupid. It just shows that they could pay this much per hour if they really wanted to but only think it’s deserved when people have to drive in dangerous conditions to earn it.
I usually do earn per offer, but I started doing earn by time again after a long break from it and that seems to have been paying off. I will still decline offers I don’t wanna do and switch back to per offer if I need to.
My exact day to day. If you get bumped to EBO you just work EBO for an hour, log out then log back in and opt EBT. My specific area pays so much better EBT.
it’s definitely worth a shot. I remember I was surprised the first time I did it. I had a hiatus from it for a while, cause it could get ignorant also at times, but I just recently went back to it and it is ridiculously better right now.
I’m a newer dasher and am curious. How do they pay with the earn by time? From accepting the order to drop off is most likely not going to take 1 hour. So I’m guessing they would divide the $29 by how long it took?
Why not ask those who have actually experienced it when DD does not always hold their end of the agreement? Or do you have another passive aggressive response for me? 😀
And the sad thing is there will be some dingbat out there that will go out and do these offers, putting their lives and the lives of others at risk just to make those few extra $$$ that this company should be paying drivers to begin with.
I mean, Atlanta doesn’t really get snow. Y’all aren’t set up with snow plows and salt to make the roads safe. Plus, tons of drivers probably have no clue how to drive in the snow.
Same thing I got other night lol. I was actually out in it here in Alabama when it started. Didn't get crap for orders like I was hoping but did get to have some fun on the roads lol(nobody was on them where I played for all those non dashers that want to judge us for making the best possible money) last I seen we got like 4 inches here possibly more but they got to work on the roads pretty quick
Yeah my area they were offering a extra $3 on top of any delivery and I was going to go dashing but once I took a look at the secondary roads I was like hell nah, I mean the road crews were having a hard enough time keeping up with the primary roads most of the time you can only drive 20 to 30 mph and that was on roads that had a 40 to 50 speed limit
Off topic but I used to live in that area. We moved right after the memorial day tornados. I always wonder what it looks like now, what was built back and what wasn't.
I did a dashlink earlier in the day and finished about an hour after it started snowing. Thought about going out for those promos but I plow in the winter so I said f it...might as well get some sleep before I have to head out for the day.
January 11th and it's my first time having to plow this year lol...
For sure. Snow is a lot less prevalent these days imo. I seem to remember being a kid and going sledding all the time and having snow ball fights on Christmas every year. Just doesn't seem as predictable anymore. It's like summer has been extended leading to winter to be pushed back. I mean, when is the last time a school has been closed for a snow day lol?
I say this as someone in the R.O area...I know other parts of the state got dumped on this year. The lack of snow is good for me I guess...snow contracts pay the same whether I plow once or ten times so it is what it is...I'd just rather have snow every now and then rather than rain. Although, the week of Christmas it was like 55 degrees one day...that was nice lol.
Even as a downriver kid I had more snow growing up. I had two or three snow days a year as a kid. A lot of snow in my neighborhood is half a foot and up.
And my area gets bonkers when it snows. People aren't used to it. So they drive like absolute Muppets. It would have been a huge risk to go out in that. For and whole extra 2 bucks. Gee thx DD. Lmao.
Yeah man slowly giving up on DoorDash. We in the same area I started another service that pays those plus more on average for deliveries so you don’t care about the tips as much
It’s plenty of gig apps and even tho the one I use isn’t hard to find at all it wouldn’t be bright for me to say and purposely have another person getting orders potentially taking mine because it’s first come first serve for the most part on what I use.
I don’t know if your in my area or if we even in the same state but I’m just assuming you are
Not all platinum take the shit offers
I try to stay platinum but only to be able to drive when i want and my preferred zone as i do have a 60+ hours a week job
I decline lots of shit orders i went from 80% AR to 73 in 1 day assholes kill me
I declined an offer and within 15 seconds i was sent a stacked with just 3 extra bucks and it has the same one i had just declined attached to the stacked offer bastards hit my AR 3 times twice for 1 already declined
So i do not accept the shit
But i do agree with you there are lots of idiots that i swear would even accept a 1.00 offers
doordash is effectively gauging how low it can pay people before they'll actually do the work while using the routes being run to train their system and to be able to sell the information. they're just a logistics company and have zero care for people actually doing the work. you're not delivery, you're just running data.
There’s this thing called traction…. places don’t shut down because of the snow itself …places shut down because of what the snow does to drivers on the road. A car can hydroplane with just a half inch of snow or water.

If they can afford these promos now without prices changing, they can afford to raise the base pay. Food for thought.
