About 5 days ago, I got a delivery from a local Mexican restaurant (I get a LOT from this restaurant and even eat there myself). I show up to the store, only to discover a pile of rolled up insulation nearly as tall as the building itself.
I walk in with my bag and the smell. . . oh dear god the smell. Nearly made me vomit. I felt myself getting black lung just being in there.
Apparently the kitchen had caught on fire that morning and they weren't making any food. Okay, no problem.
I let the customer know, then call customer care and tell them that the kitchen was toast and no deliveries were going to come out for some time. She says okay and that she'd mark the restaurant as 'out of serv
I rarely will take a delivery that requires Red Card ordering because it just takes too long and DD doesn't pay enough.
Do you think it would be a good idea to have DD set up a system where they pay (and charge a customer extra) ~$2 for a driver to simply drive to the restaurant and place the order, then send the delivery to another driver that is near.
I don't know how many of you actually take Red Card orders, but I just don't unless I know it's quick.
**edit**
Obviously I'm talking about peak times where there are orders coming in back to back. Can even send the order placement as an initial route while sending them a 2nd p/u & d/o as an add-on order (like a double).
I went to a Papa John's today to pick up 1 large pizza. . .
She looked slightly annoyed when I arrived, but was very nice during the interaction.
I asked the lady in there "don't you guys have delivery drivers?"
"Yes and I don't know why in the world they made a partnership with GrubHub."
I was pretty baffled, but the payout was good so I accepted it. I kinda' felt bad because their own driver could have taken that and probably would have cost the customer less to take it.
The customer tipped $4.12 on the order, then gave me another $5 in cash when I delivered it. I was happy.
Have you picked up at a pizza place that has its own drivers before? Did it feel awkward
So, from a 'technical' standpoint, sure, the driver gets 100% of the tip, but the customers probably don't realize that this does not give most drivers 'more' than just the delivery fee, but instead goes directly to Door Dash via having to pay out far less to the driver.
Let's face it - there isn't a single driver out there that would accept a delivery if it was $1 pay-out, but allows the driver to keep any tip. Just no.
Charge the customer $3-5 per delivery, plus whatever DD needs for operation, give all of the $3-5 and tip to the driver. Your amount of rejections will go down, for sure.
I think we should all pick a day this week to reject every single order we get during that day. Then
tl;dr - do you tear open sealed bags to triple check the food? Do you try to adhere to cooking instructions given in the delivery instructions?
I'm a new DD/GH/UE gig runner and have realized that nearly every time I pick up at Taco Bell, Bricktown, and a few other restaurants, that they will seal and tape the bags shut. Taco Bell seals it with three large stickers all the way across.
On my first few runs from Taco Bell, I ripped open the bag, but then quickly realized I didn't have a clue what I was looking for, so I stopped ripping open sealed bags.
Then one day, this lady put in the DELIVERY instructions to have Taco Bell replace a bunch of ingredients with other ingredients. I didn't
I've been going to the same pain clinic for two years now. I've had the same dosage of medication for all but the first 3 months, which were adjusted to suit my pain needs.
Recently I've had a flare-up of pain in my upper back that radiates through my arms, up my neck, and down my spine. I can barely move my head, look down, turn, twist, stoop, etc.
About a month ago, I informed them that I was starting to have a flare-up in my upper back so they switched my injection site from my pelvis/hip to my upper back (T5, 6, and 7, versus the L and S region).
That fixed my problem for about 1 1/2 days. After the shot wore off (and the shots never last me for more than a day but the clinic conti
Hey there, I'm one of your alpha testers and I have a suggestion - make blackberries fairly non-existent.
Why? This will make it more like 'survival'. Instead of walking 5 feet and finding a patch of 1,000 BBs (yes, I'm exaggerating), make it where we walk 100 feet and find 1 BB bush. When someone loots THAT, then the bush is gone and will spawn (randomly) elsewhere.
This game's survival is too easy (in terms of food/water).
