Each and every Friday I begin my morning with an acceptance rate between 20-30% and end my night with a 0%. Now I’m not saying the order assignment algorithm is fucked beyond repair, but when a driver is declining 100-150 orders in a day then perhaps the company should look into why that is. Just a thought...

Personally I think said driver should look into why they are still working for doordash. I don't take every order. I do decline orders. If I declined that many in a row I would see no reason to keep working for this company.
I would love to see the offers they received over the course of that many deliveries and declines. I also really wish doordash would remove these people from their platform. Many sit there and wait for the one really high guarantee or the one that promises to be a high over guarantee.

If I get 3 bad orders in a row, I just don't decline or accept the 4th order (unless it is somehow good) so DD will do the work of pausing my shift for me.
Just remembered that tactic for the other thread about how to End Shift with a million order offers coming in. let it run out, it will put you on pause and then you can end the shift at your convenience.
Did two DoorDash orders today. A Drive order that was half pay when I arrived to find out the merchant cancelled it on their end by DD didn't cancel it on mine. So I was paid to start my day by driving out of my residential zone into the restaurant zone, where I then just took order from other apps.
Then it was my last order of the day where it paid me to drive home.
More and more, this is what DD is becoming for me. A way to get paid where I wanted to drive anyway. I have a drive order tomorrow that will put me next to the Movie Theater.
I’ve often wondered what the point of is telling them why we are declining it, especially for a 15 mile “too far” decline and then they immediately try to get me with another that is even farther.
I personally enjoy the “I don’t want to go to this restaurant” only to get three more orders from that same store in the next minute
They really should have a max mileage seething
