- My Experience with Uber Eats, Spark & Instacart has NOT Been Good Lately…
Lets Talk about how I have been feeling about Delivering Food to People.
How Much Longer Can I do this?
This video is not very positive… but gig work can be like this at times

I cant be the only one that feels like this sometimes...
A lil man go to Costco soon as they open every morning if they have one out there that's where the money is for instacart earlier mornings soon as they open you suppose to be teaching people you a rookie at this we making money
You put bad energy out and you receive it back lol
This how you get your money back f the rules you'll never get that 11$ back pick a order with a good batch pay idc how many items not tip pay batch pay then call and say the register is down they will pay you the batch pay automatically rookie aldi does not have a phone number for them to check
Brother after I had to get a W2. I really don't feel like chasing money on these apps anymore. It takes too long to make what I need. Also, there are way too many drivers. I am still doing it on the weekend, but I have to really motivate myself to it. So I feel you
No your not the only feels like that. Ive had my days too that hasnt been great.But recently i had been getting frustrated and little patience. Btw the uber app sound is soo annoying! But dont feel defeated its just a season. I Love your content!! You are the real one. Plus It is the summer so its a little slower. Lastly, you have always helped us and encourage us, dont pay no mind on the trolls online. We have to bring each other up and right now wecneed to support you. Again love your content and keep going! Much Love❤🙏🏽
Bro I don't think its karma or you deserve it. I think your finally seeing what 90 percent of gig workers are dealing with.. Doordash was so good in your market you were blind to what the rest of us were talking about. Since you lost doordash. You sound like the rest of us not in a large market. What your going threw for the last 2 weeks. People have been dealing with it for years.
That’s the big takeaway. It’s been like this for most of us for a while.
Why is he gonna go in on strangers. Bro you gotta leave that street stuff alone before you run into a Drake like Rick Ross did🤣😂😂this is CZcams man not the streets of Beverly Hills where you live apparently 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂 all good man
You're*** absolutely correct. He could easily make 400 bucks in less than 12 hours in his market on DD, and he took it for granted. If I could make 400 dollars in less than 12 hours in my market, I'd be dashing 6 days a week and stacking my money. I understand he has a family to spend time with, but cmon man, even a blind man can see 👀 the opportunity at hand in that type of market. He could have bought a brand new vehicle and still had money in the bank if he had worked 5 days a week at around 12 hours or less per day for the last two years. We all are aware these apps aren't going to allow us to make that type of money (400 dollars per day in less than 12 hours) for the long haul. Making a good chunk of money in the gig economy is extremely temporary. I could never make over 300 dollars in 15 hours of work in my market. The best my market ever was 270 bucks in a 15 hour day on DD and that was back in 2019/2020 when I was exclusively only doing DD. Now if I was to do DD for 12 hours a day I'd barely clear 200 bucks and that's on a decent Monday or Thursday. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Fridays are not great earning days in my market. Fridays have a lot of volume as far as orders, but everyone & their mother are out dashing on Fridays, so my earning potential is not great. I'd be lucky to clear 80 bucks during the dinner rush on Friday. Some Friday nights, I only make 50 bucks on DD. To be fair, I multi-app, but still, the large Friday night dinner orders are very rare in my market. Pedro fumbled the bag with DD imo. But yea I totally agree with your comment. Great comment. 👍🏽 💯
@TheStudioEternal It's been like this since the beginning of 2022. So for the last 30 months, the gig economy has been extremely stressful for full-time gig workers who have to maintain a strict specific budget to make ends meet. Pedro dropped the ball on not seeing the reality on the gig economy.
Definitely should not be doing any restaurant delivery in that vehicle.
I quit gig work in January to start trucking and I never been happier. I feel like you’re comfortable. You gotta step out of your comfort zone to continue to grow as a man.
That’s good! I have a friend who does trucking for nabisco and he gets paid very well.
Facts 💯 but Pedro doesn't want to adapt 🤣
same lmao, i started in march
Agreed
He might need to just go back to a w2 job. For me it's just my wife and I so I can go to another state and make money for a week there and drive back and my wife is understanding. I know Pedro has kids so his options are limited
Never ever pay for stuff out of your own pocket
I have never and will never
He said by mistake.
We literally tried to tell you this about the apps yet you called us miserable clowns 🤡 … we the people that gave you your views and CZcams income … Think about that for a moment.
Now u see what all the other app workers are talking about
@jeremym367Yup it's easy to say "You must adapt. You have to adapt." When you're sitting in a goldmine market for DoorDash making at least 300 to 400 dollars within 12 hours on any given day. Pedro now sees the stress other folks have been going through in worst off markets. I can't even clear 200 bucks in my market within 12 hours on DoorDash. I have to multi-app and still their is no guarantee I'm clearing 200 bucks on any given day working 10 to 12 hours.
Burnout is a real thing. It's OK to take a break to do something else, or take a vacation. I don't do any delivery apps, but I like watching videos about it because it's good to see the perspectives of drivers and what they have to go through.
I quit 3 weeks ago and ive been stress free ever since.
What are you doing instead? Just curious
Get out of the doordash youtube scene. It will bring you back
I been delivering for DD ever since the pandemic and UE for about 2 years now. There are some down days, but I could care less cuz these gigs are just my side hustle. Whatever I make on the gig app, it’s just extra money. People, stop treating these gig work like it’s your full time job. Go out and get a W2 job and do DD/UE on the side. Trust me, you’ll be a lot happier.
@@nhialor5321
Facts 💯 the problem is just that you have the delusional people of this world that want to treat gig work like a full time job or career and it ain't happening. The pay is not consistent and the fact you can get deactivated at any given time without cause and many other variables are reasons that you cannot rely on gig work as a full time income. Problem today is after covid people are stuck in this "work remotely" phase and can't accept the fact the pandemic is over and life is back to normal and people are being required to go back to the office. The stay at home and not have to work while you receive stimulus checks and benefits is one of the reasons our economy is at a downfall, not to mention our president and the democratic party are to blame as well for poor and irrational decision making as well.
@@nhialor5321 I was eating tacos w my buddy & i saw a 17yr old young man picking up for food delivery. Extremely polite, asked questions where to pick up, looked like a pro but still young and always hungry to learn at any moment. I did the classic smile deep inside because wow i am so proud of whoever raised that young man. Teaching him to work hard & earn young. Teaching him what the world is really like, while earning money for college or savings hopefully. Just an eye opener & you are right. This is side money. People using this as full time are sometimes gonna be let down. But, you should be grateful to make full time money. Yes its good pay but at the end of the day be grateful for everything you have man. SOrry rant over lol
The psych here is clear. You want to make it so miserable watching you supposedly suffer and struggle through making these other apps work, that your audience downright demands you return to DD. That way you can keep the petty, but give in for your channel, and return right back to where you definitely want to be. This whole saga is so telegraphed. I’m not saying it’s fake, It clearly isn’t. But even my dog knows you will end up back on that app.. And I don’t even have a dog my brother.
😆 🤣 😂 Predicably sad ! FACTS 💯
HAHA this whole thing is theater. Pedros new schtick is to become the Jerry Springer of gig apps. He's adopting the WWE business model but he broke kayfabe before he could really cash in on this whole facade. He blew it by making it obvious it was fake before he could really milk it.
Gig work can be very stressful at times
Alot of times goggle maps don't help either
I see it your eyes , I hear it in your voice . I’ve felt this too often . It’s degrading which sometimes just makes me as well not even want to go out and try . I mean who wants to feel defeated . It fucking sucks
It’s more like I hate delivering Uber. You know you miss doordash. Atleast DoorDash gives you catering order and then huge pizza orders. Not Uber. 🤣🤣
I've worked DoorDash, Uber, Grubhub, Spark, Instacart, and 6 other apps full time since April 2017 as my only income and never had one big pizza order or catering order. Thousands and thousands of deliveries.
Uber is absolutely dead in my market until about around 5pm at night. UberEats really picks up late night after midnight.
Door Dash rarely gives catering anymore and the algorithm already is making sure we only can make so much.
Please Pedro, do NOT fight your audience. This will never create a good outcome for you (end of this video). You know that there will be a thousand dickheads out there causing you frustration. Be above that and turn this bad situation around into a positive one. Your Channel in 2021 got me into DD, and for a while that was positive, but it was never going to be forever (ended in June 2023). So you are now in a very powerful position to turn "Pedro DoorDash Santiago" into "Life After DoorDash Santiago" and focus on all the things people can do to simply use food delivery as a starting point to creating even better online money making opportunities. Keep going and I hope you can think more about AUDIENCE GROWTH as opposed to an AUDIENCE FIGHT. Be strong, you got this!!!
I always wonder why creators fight their audience?? There will be 1000s of good comments and they spot light the bad one..? I hope Pedro takes that advice… prolly the best one in this thread…
I can relate I got so fed up no patience to be waiting for orders even driving it felt like I was wasting my life away
Dude, you’re having a meltdown. There are literally hundreds of other ways to make money. If you don’t like what you’re doing, don’t do it.
What a goody comment
@@Mr.Betonyou Yep. Take the advice or leave it. Bitching doesn’t fix your situation.
No shit Sherlock
There's not a lot of ways. Everyone's situation is different. Skills, background, economy, etc. It's not that simple.
@@TheDecider2024 This is America. People make money doing sleep studies and playing video games.
Sending you good vibes, Pedro. Hope your season turns around soon.
Pedro, call your credit card company and do a charge back. You’ll get the money instantly.
It was a CashApp card.
You used to say use the apps as a stepping stone. You stopped saying that when the CZcams money started rolling in. You had to know you’d burn out at some point.
And no, you’re not the only one. I stopped chasing the fast cash on the apps to go sit at my W2 extra for over $40 an hour. The W2 > Gig Apps
There is no "stepping stone" happening here.
@@SteveAaroe That’s what I’m saying. Normally this is when you’d said someone was comfortable. But he isn’t that. He’s stuck.
You're not alone. Thanks for keeping it real. I'm exactly where Pedro is. I feel every word and emotion. Used to love gig work, but hate it now. The flexibility has been a blessing with my health problems, but I feel defeated and depressed getting out every day only to feel stressed and frustrated over and over. Love the freedom/flexibility with my children and wife. That family time is priceless, but this work is killing my soul and my wife sees it. We are struggling financially because of how bad it's gotten. 8 years doing this full time, my only income. I hate change and being uncomfortable. I like the familiar and my comfort zone, but I've got to change something. Being miserable all the time is no way to live. So much wasted time for nothing to pennies. It used to not be this way. The orders and pay just aren't there anymore. It's so bad I'm forced to take the $3 to $5 orders because it's that or nothing. My family depends on my income. One example - Driving 20+ minutes to Walmart to pick up an order, waiting 20 minutes to an hour, only to have it canceled because it's not in their system or someone else picked it up last week, and I get nothing. All that wasted time!!! Unacceptable. I've got to be out nearly 12+ hours a day 7 days a week to hopefully maybe scrape together enough money to pay the bills. So stressful. I have no life anymore. Running the car into the ground, spending tons on gas and maintenance, so much wasted time for such little pay. My family deserves better. This is not a wise use of time and I don't feel like a responsible provider. I'm honestly embarrassed, as a 51 year old, that this is where I'm at in life. No one to blame but myself. Pedro is smart and will find a way out of this.
You seem to have an awesome personality and honestly you should look into a career in insurance, either Medicare and/or Life. It’s a simple study l, test and fee and you can work from home and still be with your family and provide for them big time! Look into it it’s the best decision I’ve ever made in my life!
Choosing that vehicle was a two weeks notice in my view.
That’s a fact General Motors is garbage
They probally gave him a “good” deal
Pedro, it seems you have a lot of anger in your heart. Have you considered talking about this with someone? Honestly man… I hope you get well.
He thinks he deserves to make $100/hr just talking. He really doesn't want to work. He wants EZ Money without work.
@@SteveAaroe he thought he would get a catch phrase like not tip no trip and sell hella merch and be a millionaire youtube star and ride off into the sunset...he has so much hate in his heart. for his own health, i hope he does something else
He seems like a lazy bones. All he does is complain.@SteveAaroe
@@SteveAaroeeverybody want easy money what the hell are you talking about .
Pedro, you’re not “acting like a bitch” , you are problem solving your way through this, with all your faculties of emotions to help lead you. You’re just doing what humans are made to excel at - problem solving. Thanks for letting us be part of your journey. This is what we in the smaller markets go through like I already said and others are saying.
Dude you self sabotoged. Its good you are keep it real admitting thing suck since leaving DD. You had a good thing going your market was way better than average this economy is cooked rn and you are learning that rhe hard way brother.
My suggestion for Mr. Bet On You would be to pack the following; a folding chair, a six pack of cold brewskis preferably ice cold, a tackle box, and a 🎣. Turn the phone off and find your nearest beach or lake and cast your reel for a couple of hours. Then, good back to it or hit the ground up and running the following day. 🎣😁
NOW you see what everyone else has been telling you all this time...... now you get it. When you kept telling us to quit whining and complaining, just adapt, and how it's not that bad..... now you get it. This isn't a diss to you. I'm a supporter of yours, but I've seen comments of people trying to tell you this and trying to tell you that all markets weren't the same or as good as yours when you were making videos ranting about people complaining. I wish you well and hope things get better for you. We feel your pain, but again, now you get it.
It's the economy headed for complete melt down. Millions will soon lose their jobs, cars, houses and be thrown in the streets. Straight up hungar games incoming !!
yo pedro, it is frustrating knowing the hard workers like us are struggling with this kinda stuff, to save your morals and values is hard especially now, people like us want to work but also takes the other side to recognize the potential and treat us accordingly
The struggle is more relatable to most gig drivers.
The biggest TRUTH that seems to be missing from most gig-youtubers is the FACT that these Apps are PART-TIME. To rely on these clowns for fulltime money just makes YOU a clown.
Yup very true
They weren't part time at the beginning. You obviously haven't done gig work very long. It wasn't always like this and that's not an excuse for these companies to break labor laws. It's easy to say that but until your in his shoes you can't say for sure.
I have listened to you for a long time and have learned a lot about doordashing because you taught as it
Exit Plan....most of us understood this train would run out of track. I'm in a fortunate situation of being retired. I respect all of you out there hustling and somehow, some way making it happen... Pedro you got this brother 💪
Pedro u are not wasting ur life. Ur helping look out for ur family
Feeling the same way. It’s getting hard to get up and do this work.
Lol I was having trouble getting up too, there’s a weird energy going around the gig economy
Problems is coz low pay,no orders too man drivers If im lucky i get out of this soon
Homie, why not rejoin DoorDash if they will allow you back? Obviously you do not have to bc your life is your life but why not just rejoin and make the easy money in the ez DoorDash market.
He might have to swallow his pride and do this
@@Ink30 eh, he said he wasn’t going to do it and I respect and understand not wanting to go back on what he said. I just don’t like seeing it go down like this.
EXACTLY WHAT I SAID !!
He needs to go back to Doordash
@@desiretoexcel6078 did I miss something? Last I heard they said he could fill out some forms or something.
Gotta have an empty cup and an open hand for blessing to come in but if your fists are closed and full of junk from yesterday disappointment blessing can not come in.

@@powpow50cal24 is it though or is it that we just refuse common sense
Us drivers need to stand in solidarity and demand for better pay! Across the board
Unfortunately I don't see better pay anytime soon. These delivery app companies owe us nothing man. If we don't like it we can leave that's there attitude and they have and will continue to have thousands waiting for an opportunity
@jeremym367I do this part time now and even then, it still makes me nothing these days.
@@bballah9969definitely some truth to that unfortunately.. but I wouldn’t say it’s impossible! Definitely hard though
@jeremym367
Absolutely right
1. You’re gonna have to go back to DoorDash
2. To be 100% honest doing gig work is 10000% your choice so idk why so negative
It's not always a choice. People get trapped. Economies are not always good. Some people won't hire due to one reason or another. It's not as simple as you think. Maybe someone has something in their background that prevents it or maybe medical issue.
Spark is only good when you are getting those $30-$40 plus orders back to back but most of the time it doesn't pan out and you end up waiting for the next order for the hour.
You are GROWING :) You are naturally transitioning/transforming to the next stage of your life. FAR better things await. You need to untangle from the spider web and fly! Life awaits, it’s a massive world out there ❤
Yes I'm feeling jaded on food delivery as well. Tips have fallen. Pay has fallen. Volume is down Drivers are everywhere.
Bidens migrants took over the apps
The bottom line is, the gig apps used to have higher base pays. Bad orders used to be 6/7&. You can’t keep up a car when they are getting paid 0$ on second orders and keeping you to $2 a run for single orders.
Sounds like it is time to step away for a beat. Self care is the best care.
Sending Pedro warm energy and positive vibes. Things will get better. The people that are being critical and mean need to stop being jerks. ** hugs ** ❤
Pedro,
I 100% understand what you're going through right now. The best thing you can do is keep pushing right now. I know it's hard and days like these make it challenging. Try to stay positive and look for alternative way to better yourself and the income you bring in. I always thought life itself was a learning lesson. It's just on the matter on what path you're willing to go. You can take the easy way out and do nothing. Or,look at this a challenge that you, yourself will overcome. Always twll yourself,this isnt longtime. That this is just an obstacle thats in your way. I believe youll overcome this and learn from this experience itself.Yes,the door closed with you on Doordash and the orders on Uner eats is bad. Dont let this put you down. Push yourself to learn other things. Push yourself to find other ways to make money. Find that inner drive and use this frustration as a way to fuel you. Once you overcome this,keep leaning new ways to better yourself and your families life. You live, you learn, you grow. You got this!
As long as there are people that will keep consistently taking out the trash and no tip orders all the time.Will never get away from these no tippers
The illegals are taking the 2 and 3 dollar offers and perpetuating this nonsense! Yeah, I said it!! So sue me.
Been there done that make a change before the exploitation starts taking it's toll.
I waited to long to get out and it almost completely took me out so I went back to trucking and it has made a huge difference in my mental health and financial situation. Best move I ever made.
I quit last summer because of the over saturation in the Houston market. Moved to New Mexico and deliver El Paso, Amarillo areas, All of New Mexico and I am picking up a load of potatoes in Southern Colorado right now 😊.
10,000 miles a month using someone else's equipment.
I think we're all feeling the pain right now
Pedro, I been doing this gig work since 2017. I see the pay goes down. I don't put all in one basket. Everyday is different. I understand how you feel. I been there many times. Just keep your head up. Take a day or 2 off to cool off. That's what I do.
Bro you the realest one in the space I completely agree with you!
I feel that the market is over saturated and many people use 2 accounts in two different phones that’s why we never get good orders in my opinion. I feel there is a lot of iffy stuff going on.
Just curious if you hate delivering food then why you doing it?
🤦🏻♂️
Time to get therapy or take a drink or somèthing....
@@SteveAaroe I agree.
Pedro, I have felt this way for at least a year now. I need to make a change. Take care... Jennifer in Dallas
Why do you feel this way, dont you like being your own boss?
@@nicholasrivera7089I love being my own boss. But if you're not making enough money anymore, it's time to change things up.
I feel you bro. I’m going through it too. I drive Uber and Uber Eats in Austin Tx. It’s been pretty brutal this summer. Horrible offers, no tips, waaaay too many hours online trying to make enough to barely get by. I’m looking for a W-2. I’m done destroying my mental health and my vehicle for $15 an hour.
You get further with honey than with vinegar! 😁
@Pedro I get it, I generally like delivering food, but the pay is never truly fair anymore, not with what base pay succumbed to. Nearly all of the honus is on the customers, if they don't tip well, we're screwed!
If the delivery apps expect their customers to pay the driver in the form of a “tip”then they should lower the merchant fees and in turn, the merchants can lower their food prices, then most customers would be happy leave an upfront tip for the drivers. I deliver in Australia where we don’t have tipping so the delivery apps have no choice but to pay us if they want us to accept an order. The positives of this is that we don’t have to mess around with “no tip” orders but the negative is that food prices are higher because wages costs are higher and delivery is extremely expensive, meaning it’s a premium service and not as busy during off-peak hours
I’m right there with you brother. The shitty scenarios keep adding up and seem to be more frequent…
I get you I'm feeling like going back to starting my own business
Why the phuk did you ever stop. You should be step-up and running good. Why pause to waste time with gig apps if you can start a real biz for yourself?
That's what everybody wants to do but most people don't have their own start up capital and.... maybe not even be personally able to run a biz even when they think they can. Lacking education, discipline or enough personal motivation.
Many ill-planned, ill‐prepared people try to start and end up failing. I think 1-10 start-ups succeed or otherwise, 90% fail in the first 5 years.
@@SteveAaroe just say fuck, but many factors to explain in your comment, but I'll keep it simple, cause I can
Get a Job
I've been doing the gig work doordash ubereats etc since 2018..
I'm burnt out lol
It just sucks .. we are independent contractors with conditions
How can a 42 year old man not hate delivering food.... it means something went very wrong in your life.
Don't age shame the man lol
People love putting people down👎
Lol! I paid off a 30 year mortgage in 21 years with money I earned cooking the damn food... now I earn earn twice as much sitting on my ass driving it!
Ain't nothing wrong with my life! Easy money and no worries...
@@ericwolfe8119 do your thing brother👍👍good to hear success stories
At least he has hair.
Dumplin app might be something you dig. It’s basically your delivery service where you build your own client and merchant base. Your pay is proportional to your ability
No
It is NOT.
The app is the employer and you are the employee. You have no control over the pay nor over how often you can get an offer.
Just like you, I am keeping 100. I have watched you for over a year now and respect your grind. I will say that Positive Pedro and Petty Pedro are very inspiring and entertaining because I can be both as well. But this latest incarnation of Pouting Pedro is not a good look. I do understand your frustration but now is the time to BetOnYou more than ever. You are a grinder and will come back stronger. Just make it happen (even if it means putting pride aside and working a little DD since you say it is the big hotter in your area) just until your next move is ready. Then tell them to eff off. Just my two cents. You got this and thank you for the motivation over the past year.
Just go back to DoorDash Pedro 😂😂
Pedro dont let the haters bring you down. Your video brings up the issues that 100% of gig workers deal with on a daily basis. Stay strong brother.
Support is horrible. They are no help whatsoever and they don't even listen to you half the time. This shit is bullshit. Dude I am right there with you. I you literally are reading my mind. I say the exact same shit
Pedro was happy and did not know it !
Ever since the $9.99 unlimited deliveries a month it’s gone to shit. The customers figure since they pay a monthly fee they shouldn’t have to give us tips. Customers assume the apps are paying us well and so do the restaurants. They are always shocked when I tell them how little we make. It’s not just you Pedro. We are all getting to a point where we are considering giving up. It’s very depressing
For all of you reading my comment men or woman, I had the same feelings when I quit using the apps! Miserable people look at you down also doing uber or dash or other apps won't make you a good resume! Go learn a trade like a did! For me it was HVAC! In 8 months I had my diploma! You can do it guys! Learn anything that has value, you can do electrician, plumber, hvac , or nails or to do facials I mean anything, don't wait for other people that have less than you out work you guys! I still watch Pedro regardless because I like the channel and also I learned from him how to use doordash but when are you goin to say enough? Much love and peace! And remember doing something that have a purpose and can be helpful to other's is way way more satisfying ❤❤
I cleaned carpets for 5 years..money was pretty decent but there came a time when I was ready to move on. Actually I decided to quit my job when I caught COVID. When it’s time to move on you just gotta jump. You got this bro 👊🏼
I did the same drove that van end to end in every corner of the city and yes it was okay the pay.. it wasn't what the hype was about but I did it! 😂
catering slows down until September
When you call customer service, and it's a foreigner, they don't give a shit about you.
They are also making $0.25 an hour
Yeah I've felt this way at times doing this job but half of this is remembering none of this is personal all is about perspective. I understand those who don't appreciate your service can get under your skin like any of us. Take it on the chin and keep going because soon their get backs will come around but you'll never see it. I love being at peace with myself and life these costumers are what they are
Oh hell no, you're not the only one that feels like this! I am so sick of this work. I haven't had a W-2 in 16 years and I don't want to go back. So I'm trying to get another year out of this. But I don't know how much longer I can take it!
Got canned a couple months ago when I had jus ben TD 3days prior. Iss really unbearable how trash tha pay iz anyway
When I went back to a W2 I wanted to go back to Gig work, Pedro has no clue how lucky he was with DD.
Cmon man, just get back on dd. Don't worry about pride and what the haters are going to say. Plain and simple, dd gives you the most opportunities out of all of the gig apps
I agree with you
He needs to swallow that pride and stop being stubborn. He's in a great market for DoorDash and he's squandering it thinking these other apps are the solution.
That’s what I was going to say, market happens.
@@dolphindave1966 you’ve got to be kidding! They take advantage of you! Meanwhile the CEO’s gets millions on your efforts. They don’t care if you depreciate your car to the point of worthlessness’s.
@lucybarrionuevo4393 I'm a cherry picker and only take profitable orders and I actually stay pretty busy. In a span of 2 and a half days this weekend I made 570 while driving 225 miles. I do a lot of grocery orders. That's where it's at
Maybe it’s time to do start your own service… like maybe a shuttle. There is a service in my area that does multiple runs from Atlanta to Chattanooga. You seemed excited about your new car… ride share for yourself vs for Uber. Who knows, you might be able to build a nice little fleet of shuttle vans. Also… remember that we get what we tolerate. We don’t get what we want… we get what we are. If you’re always frustrated… you’re only going to attract more frustration.
Damn pedro are you still on your menstrual cycle ?
Haha 😂 we all know that you are craving for another dash 😂😂😂😂
Do you always relish in someone else’s pain?
Bro my back was against the wall about 2 years ago and doing uberX (rideshare) in philadelphia literally saved my life 😭 it sounds dramatic but i was lost and fed up with W2 life and then started doing 12 hour days on uber and would bring in no less than like $280 on a bad day and made even WAY more on weekends. granted i was sleeping out of my car and purposely not driving home (an hour commute) to maximize profit but i could never go back to doordash or ubereats after my profitability on that platform forreal dude 💯 ima trucker these days but thats just my 2 cents bro! theres always a way for hustlers like us i promise!
This is my experience with doordash honestly and last week was helll for me I was out every night until 10 but I feel ya 100 percent
Sometimes I hate food delivery and passenger delivery too
You are a food delivery driver.... the world looks down on you. Tips are not mandatory. You need a career coach and a therapist.
Reality Check 💯 😆 🤣 😂
You look like me calling support, jus miserable and dc anymore. I'm starting to hate driving as well. I just stuck and don't know where else to turn.
Funny i watched this video this morning cuz of how im feeling. Ive been stuck doing gig work full time for a little over 6 years now and ur words are exactly how im feeling "waste of my life"...all because i chose a career i wound up absolutely hating before i did this. On the other hand ive been looking for a job for almost a year, gotten one interview and every job only pays $17-$18 an hour in my area so wtf am i supposed to do because that is nowhere near enough to even have a one bedroom around me without working 70 hrs a week. Im making between 1000-1100 a week doing this usually but lately its been a real struggle especially with the massive immigrant problem in my zone. I feel completely stuck and im too damn smart to be stuck doing this at 36 years old...i completely feel u bro
I think the deactivation has affected you in a way you didn’t realize but you can pivot. You need a break for sure take a few days off to decompress. Instacart refused to reimburse me for a Sams club order of over $100 (I forgot my card) so I charged it on my Sams
Club Visa card. They told me 2x that I used a GIFT CARD. I eventually got the money when I detailed the visa number that was glaring obvious. It’s like talking to 2nd graders that need everything explained 3x. Also it’s a holiday week not much catering happening. So time for a family break come back recharged.
Needs to “adapt”
I hate it so much. Have no choice until I find another job. I’m trying to go back to w2. Tired of these games.
I was in a funk the last few months. Definitely a roller coaster. Ride it out man
You got this Pedro, your current situation doesnt define who you are, nor does the amount of money you make, you still deserve that self love and encouragement. In my opinion you are a bonafide hustler and this situation you are in right now is peanuts, whatever you plan to do, make sure youre happy brother and ignore the ignorance
I've been feeling the same way. I'm burned out after almost 4 years of this.
I recommend tweeting them or using other means of social media to contact them. I did that for Uber.
Door dash looking pretty good after the last week
😆 🤣 😂
You called me stupid on my comments to you and yet both of my DD and UE are tremendously doing great!
How’s yours doing? If only you just humbled yourself and let those customers off from your mind you won’t be in your situation today!
You’re reaping what you are sowing! Don’t let your pride take you on the wrong side of the road!
Cap
Not forever, you need to grow.
I only have watched a few videos . He wastes a lot of time with his ego and anger... He lets everything get to him ..
@@elizabethmillar1829 Looks like you should saying that probably to yourself or Mr Pedro Let me catch your order deactivation Santiago.c🤣🤣🤣
You lyin’. You get the same $2 orders as everyone else. Stop the 🧢
@mrbetonyou remember you use to always say this is just a stepping stone . Sometimes I think I have not stepped off soon enough
The only place Pedro is stepping off to is his next best app.
Just means you are in the position to elevate even higher. You've already gone through the experiences, dealt with the hard work that comes with it, and you've gained wisdom because of it. The sky is never the limit because there is outer space.
Pedro I feel the same way the past couple weeks. All i can say is focus on your loved ones and use food delivery as a tool.
You have said you like ride share. Why are you dragging your feet about getting back in it?
So what you're trying to say is that the apps are trash? Time to hang up your hot bag, cowboy. You could go back to Applebees.....Pedro can I take your order Santiago has a nice ring to it.
L🤣🤣🤣🤣L
@@Standup428bs! The business world is massive! He has talents he can make a ton of $.
That's where this is headed because he ain't qualified to run a pony show.
Lol
The other issue is the mindset of including an automatic tip being added to each order.
I feel you pedro because this is how I feel often while doing the same in my trash market & disrespectful customers and dumb agents support. Idk what to say but you are a gentleman and respectful pedro u deserve better.
I wish all the best for you brother
Pedro same for me on DD $97 7 hours 100% AR Cuz u can fall to 70% in one day that’s how bad the offers I saw 1 plat order entire day
After getting a better vehicle, I stopped doing food and grocery delivery and started focusing on Uber/Lyft. I do take Delivrd orders when they come in too. Spark has declined in my area and will occasionally do it on a Sunday when it’s busier. I live in San Antonio, TX and rideshare is pretty good, especially at the airport. I’ll even take some nice 1 hour trips, like passenger’s going to Austin, or Kerrville, and filter to get me rides to get me back home. Sometimes I’ll just work a little in Austin too. I go with the flow all day and stress free 😊Good luck Pedro 🙏🏼💗
