Many won’t. What’s even crazier is most of the orders that come through small are mostly just customer tips with like a dollar or two base pay. Yes it gets that bad. So imagine when nobody tips just how small it is all the time. I know many are like, I’m not taking small orders because they believe it’s non-tippers but I have found that’s not always the case. It has ended up being that DoorDash decided to pay very small for that base pay. So the customer is left thinking, I tipped the driver not sure why it would not be picked up?? Either way still not a good pick up but there you go.
Everyone needs to understand one thing. These corporations don't want you to make money. They need an army of broke and hungry drivers trying to survive one day at a time. Drivers are disposable and easily replaceable. They don't have any problems delivering good orders. They create all of those high AR tiers with just one goal - delivering every $2 order there is. A $2 order doesn't necessarily mean it's a small order an DD is getting every penny in their fees they charge a merchant and customers. DD doesn't give a squat about you driving 12 miles for $2. Paying customers and shareholders is their priority period!
This is why I quit DD and switched to Spark. Much better pay and low low mileage, or in my area anyway. And they don’t care about ratings so I decline anytime that isn’t $3.00 or plus per mile. Now, I feel relaxed and not stressed out. I did 8 deliveries today and made $241.81 and didn’t start until 12:30, took a break from 4-5, started back at 5:10 till 8. Only drove 52 miles today! Last week, I made $918 working 5 days and put just a little over 300 miles on my car. Week before last, I worked 4 days and made over $600. So much easier, and much better money. Love your channel ♥️
That is good money. I just wish I could get on the Spark app. They seem to have me blocked, but I haven’t even drove for yet. Support team is horrendous though. can’t seem to get them to understand and clear this up for me. I ended up just opening a new account but not sure how that will go. It’s on a waitlist anyways. I don’t know if my market is busy I know, but there are also some that are not.
I agree wholeheartedly. I refuse to take crap offers, period. The tier system just came to my market and I’m not falling for this scam. Last week, I made more than I usually make by not giving in.
I do ebt in the morning and lunch and do earn per offer at dinner and only take bangers. That’s the the only way I can stay busy and be profitable . EBT is not bad in my area. I usually make over a dollar a mile.
I’m getting complaints from customers about the distance and how long it takes for them to get their food. They will wait for me at the door and ask me why they couldn’t order from the store that’s 2 miles away instead of the one that’s 14 miles away. And the app forced them to order from then store that’s farther away. They always say they’re going to stop ordering if this continues.
Is that what's going on? I thought it was the customers doing that. WTF is up with DD and they letting the u know who come in and work on their platform. They gotta be apart of the beast system
Sad to say this but McDonald's workers are making more money than 90% of gig workers😮 you have to make better life decisions people😮 if you ended up delivering food for a living you need to look back and see all the mistakes you made make peace with them and start making better decisions😊
What exactly are those better decisions? Many of those that entered gig work, love the freedom of setting their own hours. They also are not micromanaged as bad as far as in the moment as you would be on an hourly job. I would say love to be your own boss, but that’s beginning to fade away. These gig apps are basically becoming managers wanting more for little.
Things have literally dropped off a cliff. DD and Uber eats both suck ass now. My car is suffering and I am most definitely suffering. Thank you for this video. 💚🙏
Hey! You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about what you're saying. DD ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT CARE AT ALL. The car I used to drive to DD is now sitting in my driveway had to do so much repairs on it because of driving out so many miles to deliver orders. Thankfully I have other vehicles.
Honestly I could care less about my AR. I refuse to accept high mile low pay offers. If I could work a w2 job I would but I have a disabled child and need the flexibility gig work gives me. Im desperate to make money to avoid homelessness with 3 sons but Im not stupid. DD cares nothing about us
I honestly like the new tear system. Some people may disagree with me, but I only use the new tear system with earn by time and I’m gonna tell you I take advantage of it where everybody’s complains about picking up two dollar orders I have never got one 2 dollar order I know how to take my time with the restaurant. I know the minutes I get to the restaurant I push I’m there and I try to get there quick enough where the food still not made yet and I’m waiting about 10 to 15 minutes I’m making $13 per hour then on top of it maybe some customers don’t tip but when I finally do deliver it I’m pulling about eight dollars per trip and if the customer chips tips, I’m making more
0:44 I hope that's true because these silver gold platinum levels are terrible I'm platinum level and its so much harder to maintain than top dasher I have to go everyday after my day job because it's constantly dropping delivery's everyday and if I drop below 100 I lose dash anytime and in my market I have to have that choice to dash anytime
Really good video - like listening to a well-delivered monologue. I am going through a gig depression for what seems like several months now. It shouldn't be this way.
Everything will give you depression and life is hard. The only thing you can do is either get therapy, complain to the gig apps you use and most likely won't listen or take your advice, use multi apps and pull up your bootstraps and continue on.
It will never gonna go back. It will get even worse. DD will continue to squeeze drivers. CZcamsrs are playing on the side of DD. You see more and more videos like "I'm taking every order", "I'm taking every order until I'm platinum" etc. Poor soles are watching these videos and trying the same. Nothing is gonna change for the better as long as drivers continue to chase this high AR hoping to see those $50+ orders.... I don't do that on general principle. To make the story short any W2 that pays over $20 per hour is better than driving for these apps.
The gig apps don’t really care if people quit because there’s an endless supply of people who are coming of age and want the opportunity to take this job. The tear system is not going away just like two dollar orders have never gone away… it’s unfortunate but it’s a business they’re gonna run their business to make the most profit possible regard regardless of whether it’s right or ethical for those of us that work under them. I would say perhaps the best option is to try to influence local legislation and possibly a state level where you live to try and fight for what you think is right for these gig apps.
I can tell you that I was a cherry picker, diehard, until they took away my ability to dash now or even get a schedule as a non-platinum driver. And what’s my reward for working so hard for the privilege of platinum? Even more garbage orders. My AR is 70 and my CR is 95, rock bottom. Next time I log on I have no option but to deliver the trash they send if I want to be able to work. Some Independence isn’t it?
I do this part time only and I could not mentally do this full time I can’t get to 80 AR the highest I get is 75 then horrible orders I refuse to take I can’t go 15 miles for 8 bucks refuse to go to these non tippers.
Tier: are you saying the cherry pickers are suffering because they were top dashers and now there's new top dashers via platinum tier and they are going to have car problems now? I'm about to buy a beater for around 500 yup it will be a disposable car because where I'm at you can make that on the weekend. I can't complain too much about the system other than they should inforce 15% tip minimum but I don't just do food delivery, I can see how just doing door dash would be stressful.
The thing about sitting and waiting for something $$ reasonable, never knowing how a day will work out, being treated less than by the companies, merchants and customers, and knowing you're destroying your vehicle which may be the only tangible asset a worker has left will do that. That car goes and you're not prepared to fund a repair or replacement??? Its a really bad setup unless you roll a few hours here and there during busy times. Otherwise, a losing proposition! Sorry. Thats what it turned into. But it proves a person is willing tp work and put in the hours and put up with some real nonsense. So get a regular stable job with benefits. Better pay and maybe a promotion or better future. This gig thing aint it!
what about retirement for drivers, how are young people planning to collect social security, or have a 401k delivering food? this job is for part time, when you need some extra money only, not to live 100%from it , I think
GrubHUB offers way more than DD if you maintain a high level, but at the same time they pay me way more than crapdash so I’m more likely to keep clicking accept. They do have a 401K as well
DD does not take into consideration what the dashers think. They just want their food delivered. All these tiers, and top dashers, and cherry picking is not a thing. DD doesn’t care or know who delivers, as long as it’s delivered. You’re WAY over thinking it.
The issue is dashers needing to realize when they are in a market that or even city or state that has no business even doing doordash so you cause yourself this heartache. You have to blame yourself when you keep working these jobs. Like my market I get paid a high amount and I’m in the surrounding area of Los Angeles and this market area the pay is good I’m making 800-1000 bucks a week with 20-30 hour a week dashing. Nobody wants to go get a w2 job they want to have the luxury of doordash to work when they want but complain about the pay and nobody can answer why they don’t want to just go get a regular day job
It’s depressing and gets your angry it’s not healthy and it messes with your mental
Make better life decisions
The programmers are probably some psychopaths, that enjoy playing you like puppets on strings
Damn! Best gig app video on CZcams! This girl is 100% correct about everything she speaks good job

I'm not a driver, but I can't see even getting out of my car to pick up a $2 order.
Many won’t. What’s even crazier is most of the orders that come through small are mostly just customer tips with like a dollar or two base pay. Yes it gets that bad.
