Are there any places that's become an instant decline for you?

Places that have just become a guaranteed "there's gonna be a problem" place
or just not worth the time and effort?

I'd love to hear what places some of you have just simply stopped going to. Doesn't matter the pay, doesn't matter the order, you see the name, you decline it. And what made you stop accepting them.

For me, I have 3 currently. (granted i stopped doing shop and deliver orders, but when i was doing them, two of them on this list was instant no-gos)

1. Aldi's
My final straw was accidentally picking up 2 40+ item orders, $38 bucks. It took me damn near 3 hours to find everything, having to bag it all myself, and at the end, seeing neither orders tipped. Which felt like salt in the wounds for my efforts. Aldi's is HORRIBLE to shop in because the app never feels consistent with where things are at, and it's abysmal to find nearly anything there, if it's even in STOCK.

2. Wingstop
Frankly, I'm sick of being made to get the drinks myself. Especially because they never pay attention to what's out of stock, and force that to be our problem, where now we have to contact the customer to ask what they want instead, and i cannot tell you how many times they've had multiple things out, and nothing the customer would want after having to tell them "sorry they're out of that too" 2 to 4 times. Plus they run out of ice and never refill it so i'm forced to wait around for someone to refill the drinks if they even have it, and then refill the ice as well.

Honestly the fact that I stopped accepting their orders purely off of the fact that I don't want to do the drinks myself almost feels cartoonishly simple. "Just get the drink it's not hard" AND YET I SPEND AN EXTRA 10 MINUTES THERE ALMOST EVERY TIME JUST BECAUSE OF DRINK PROBLEMS.

3. Dollar General
Unorganized, a mess, inconsistent, almost never has what's being asked for in stock, and god forbid it's something generic without a proper shelf and you have to fight with doordash to convince them "no i'm not bad at my job, yes i asked the staff, they can't even find it either, yes the 3 substitutes that the customer offered just in case are also not available."

I've literally had orders that was like, 4 items, become an hour long ordeal because of stuff like that.
