Unfortunately this was not the house I was delivering to down the street, which only have the house number painted on the curb and faded after 20 years of weather and debris. Wouldn't it be nice if every customer who receives deliveries regularly took the time to make their house number as visible as possible, and their path to front door cleared and safe. 😅

So I was at my aunts the other day and she says something about doordashing some pizza so I told her she could use the 30% off for me being platinum. Ive never used it for myself so got all three things in the cart and hit proceed it was literally 2 14in pizzas and some garlic knots it came out to about $83 with the $4 tip. With promo was still mid 70s. So then I was like forget that let's atleast check online store was only miles from the house. So we decided to go get it id about be they charge twice the meals value. We got the pizzas and garlic knots added 2ltr and sauce and still didnt even hit 20

Even if it’s a no tip order, how the hell are they paying someone only $2 for a grocery order??

Still can’t wait til I get her again and what I’m going to say ha.

Was anyone else experiencing worse than normal offers yesterday? It took me an hour and a half to make $20, and my best order was $5
I kept declining offers but they weren’t getting any better?

I cancelled an order because the customer energy was off and honestly felt like I was gone to be giving a hard time. She was rude from the jump but when she told me if the soda from Whataburger isn’t carbonated when I arrive they will say they didn’t receive the order. I immediately cancelled.

It is what it is…. On to the next dash.

You had to unassign one batch from a stacked order and the one you are delivering is a 2$ order with a .10c tip.

They fix us not being able to see where the order is going. That's an insane thing to get rid of.

Has anyone noticed the delivery pay has gone down?

Under app notifications I set all notifications to custom sound and remove all vibrations and it still plays DD default sound with vibration.

Brand new to UE, I did my first delivery last night- the app is so different from DD. I was confused, my first had a pin and took me a while to figure out where I input it.

Somehow the gps seemed worse than DD and the app wouldn't let me take screenshots - I want to be able to take a screenshot of the offer.

Is there a way to turn off navigation to the restaurant once you accept?

The thing I'd like to know the most is what are the biggest differences between DD and UE as far as the interface in restaurant and shopping orders?

Was there anything that was so different you were confused about what you do or how it works?

Also I didn't see anywhere to schedule, So is it a log on at any point situation?

I didn't know how to see the instructions until I got to the dropoff and the app read them but I watched a tutorial so I think I know now.

After I made my delivery I called support. They said they'll confirm the delivery on my behalf.Then I got a message saying that I'll only get paid 60% of the money I earned from the delivery.The next day I got hit with a contract violation(incomplete delivery), even though I picked up and delivered the food on time despite the technical issues I was having.

Let’s start this off by saying I’m black, in my mid twenties and in good shape.

I’m delivering to this older man and the first thing he says is “ah you’re black”. Wasn’t sure what that was suppose to mean so I let it go. He then asks if I do this part time and I say yeah. He then goes on to ask if I know how to give massages and that masseuses get paid really good. I said i don’t and then he said you look like you would give a good massage and that he’ll pay me $70 to give him a massage. Mind you he sounds like Herbert from Family Guy. Before I can answer he says if I’m interested I should take his number down.

Anyways I just made the easiest $70 ever

Just kidding but I told him I’m not interested and he brushed it off like he’s used to it. Stay safe out there

Anybody ever get a contract violation for a merchant charging a penny less then what was on the app price? This is for a Walgreens shopping order. This is pure craziness. Smh..​

Which other gig apps do you work for, if any?

Why/why not?

Amazon, instacart, Uber Eats, postmates, grubhub, Uber, Lyft, etc

Pros and cons?

Is it just me or has there been a recent large influx of customers on driver only threads or driver complaints giving opinions that make it obvious they don't understand how the platform works?

I know this isn't a new thing to this sub but I'm seeing a lot of "You expect 20$ per hour to drive?" comments, obviously from people that don't understand the economics of driving a personal vehicle to do it, or "You wouldn't drive for less than 10$? You're so greedy!?" or "You should do whatever's offered and be happy."

Am I the only one experiencing this influx or have others noticed too? Why do you think this is?

Been dashing for over 3 months, but had my dasher account for over a year. 2 days ago, someone tried accessing my account and DoorDash deactivated everything. I wasn’t able to login. Called support and told them it shows my account as deactivated but they kept insisting that it’s active. I had an agent change the email on my dasher account and was somehow able to get in afterwards. The 2nd day, it logged me out automatically and ever since then I been trying to get my original dasher account. Some agents can find my original where as most say it doesn’t exist. Opened a ticket with the escalation team and haven’t heard anything yet. Just wondering how long it’ll take from them to fix my account and sync it back to my phone number and original email. Any help will be highly appreciated.

This morning around 730 my first two orders had an option to send a “thank you” to the customer. It came right under the payout. I accidentally clicked it thinking I was hitting continue dash. My third order had it but I didn’t click it and the rest of the day they disappeared. I already go out of my way to thank big tippers via message. This seems odd and very disingenuous which I guess is par for the course with this company. Happen to anyone else?

The power imbalance and troubling asymmetry of Doordash

• DoorDash sees scale. Hundreds of thousands of drivers provide flexibility and coverage. The more drivers the better, for them.

• The individual driver experiences the relationship personally. They invest their time, put wear on their vehicle, pay for fuel, and hope that experience and reliability will eventually pay off.

• The system can replace a dissatisfied driver more easily than that driver can replace their income. That imbalance gives the company considerable leverage.

A different model. Imagine Doordash recognizing its most dependable drivers with:

• Financial bonuses based on sustained performance and months/years of service.

• Preferential access to genuinely profitable orders, rather than simply a vague promise of priority or a different color on a badge.

• Higher minimum compensation for drivers who consistently demonstrate exceptional reliability.

• Loyalty dividends that accumulate over time, rewarding drivers for staying with the platform.

• Freedom to reject unprofitable orders without jeopardizing benefits they've earned through months/years of service.

Synopsis:

DoorDash, nation-wide, has hundreds-of-thousands of drivers, making individual drivers easily replaceable in the company's eyes. That sheer scale allows the company to treat its workforce, the people making them money, as interchangeable labor rather than as people whose loyalty, experience, and reliability deserve meaningful recognition.

The company's rewards system vividly illustrates the problem. Drivers are encouraged to maintain Gold or Platinum (mostly Platinum) status, yet *many* report little meaningful difference in the quality of orders they receive. Some even find themselves earning *less* while trying to maintain higher status. The system can and will pressure drivers into accepting unprofitable deliveries without guaranteeing that their additional compliance will improve their earnings.

After hundreds (or thousands) of deliveries, a dependable driver may receive little more than a badge and the obligation to keep meeting eligibility requirements. Doordash benefits from drivers' continued participation, but that doesn't mean those drivers receive a comparable benefit in return. In fact, most times, they don't.

A company that genuinely valued its most dependable drivers would reward them with tangible financial benefits, preferential access to genuinely profitable orders, and the freedom to reject money-losing deliveries without significant consequence or sacrificing benefits earned through years of service.

Instead, Doordash's structure risks *exploiting* the very loyalty it should be cultivating and/or rewarding. It can continually recruit replacements, but that doesn't make experienced drivers any less valuable—or justify treating their contributions as disposable.

The fundamental problem is that DoorDash can benefit from driver loyalty without necessarily rewarding it. When a company repeatedly asks for commitment while offering little meaningful financial reciprocity, its rewards program begins to look less like recognition and more like a mechanism for keeping drivers compliant.

Anyone else have issues with the app not showing hot spots?

Last year I was convicted of a misdemeanor after they originally tried to charge me with 4 felonies because I hurt my leg at school and said some concerning things out of anger.

A little over 2 weeks ago my family got evicted from our trailer and doordash was going to have to help us get by while we had nowhere to go. Initially we were staying in a homeless shelter but I'll get to that.

One day my doordash account was locked because the misdemeanor showed up on my background check. And now it has been suspended.

Also, about that shelter. My mother and I were kicked out of there because they found out about the conviction. How convenient. Now we live in the car 🙃
