Learned something new tonight.

Dasher (> 1 year)

I've been an on and off Dasher for a couple years now, just over 1100 deliveries so I'm not exactly a big time Top Dasher but I follow the basic rules. No tip, no trip; pay must cover mileage; avoid problem restaurants; no walmart/kroger/Walgreens orders etc.

Well as per usual I'm declining far more orders than I accept when I see my Completion rate had dropped from 93% to 91%. This is odd as I haven't had any issues that would make me un-assign, and I haven't been contacted about any failed deliveries.

So I call support, and I learned that every 6 deliveries I decline I have one automatically accepted and then unassigned by the app on my end. If I don't like this I am encouraged to end my Dash, uninstall the app, reinstall, and attempt to dash again afterwards.

Let's just say I'll be uninstalling to solve this issue...

Have you considered the possibility that the support agent was full of crap?

I accept almost no offers recently and my completion rate hasn't changed

She had the info for all my accepted orders as well as my declined orders and the times I had declined them. Now if she was talking out of her ass then I'll only have her to thank for giving me the last push I needed to stop using the app.

What? This isn't true

My completion rate is 100 percent and just got done declining like 25 Randall's deliveries in a row

All km doing is relaying what I was told. If its not true or limited to certain areas then you have nothing to worry about

I get that but what I'm saying is they are lying to you. Whoever you spoke to is full of crap.

Not only that, they can't force you to accept an order nor can they punish you in any way for not doing so

I just wanted to know why my Completion Rate (my only lifeline for when a really shitty store tries lying to me about when the order will be done multiple times) had dropped 2 % without me unassigning a single order. This was the explanation.

Yeah this is not true at all.. I recently declined every single orders because they were keep feeding me with shitty orders. I did zero dd delivery this week and my acceptance rate is same.

Autoassigns = class action.

Anyone else have a glitch that sometimes declining orders actually increases your acceptance rate? For me it’s around 20% I notice every order I decline I’ll go up 1%

I'm having my acceptance rate jump 1% every single order I accept no matter how many I decline a night.
