bnmjy Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Some guy was yelling at me for blocking his pathway, not his driveway. He threatened to call the police on me. It's like, I wasn't even gonna be parked there for more than 2 minutes max. Then he watched me the entire time while I found somewhere else to park. Usually, people are helpful if they notice I'm a delivery driver, which is obvious since I am holding food and wearing a mask. Edit: gonna use this thread to chronicle interesting events.

bnmjy Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 So I waited 45 minutes at Popeyes just to be told they ran out of chicken. Doordash paid me 6.25 dollars. If you do the math, it's still above the federal minimum wage. 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of surprised by the chicken shortage as well, but that's only because the last time I heard of an issue it was because COVID-19 was affecting a major pork processing plant. It only makes sense that all meat would have shortages given that meat processing and packing seems to be centralized, something I wouldn't have thought of if not for the pandemic. Cali should also be affected, but the nature of the supply line issues probably means that shortages are sporadic as opposed to universal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: gonna use this thread to chronicle interesting events. when i delivered a long time ago, most establishments give you a sign on your car top to magnetize on. i'm assuming doordash, grubhub, ubereats don't have those... otherwise, if i wasn't parked illegally, i would ignore most folks barking. that is until they would walk towards my vehicle. then i would have to give him my undivided attention.

You aren't impressing anyone here. whats odd is that some people do call the cops, and then you have to wait there after your boss tells you not to leave or that would be "fleeing the scene". so they get there, see you're not parked illegally, see that you're working in uniform, and promptly sigh at the person wasting their time. takes less than a minute for them to tell you "you're free to go" then deal with the irate resident. it happens more than it should.

bnmjy Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Today I had a delivery worth 160 dollars. It took a while for the restaurant to prepare the food. I got a 20 dollar tip and made 28 dollars for the trip. Not bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunStarHero Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 On 7/8/2020 at 5:23 AM, Doom Metal Alchemist said: How... does a chicken restaurant run out of.... chicken? Not sure this is the case for this instance, but restaurants use certain products to make what's on their menus and when something is out, it's out. Like maybe there are premade chicken patties for a sandwich. Once they're gone, the restaurant just stops serving that item. Sometimes if it's a franchise they will call another store and ask if they can come and pick up whatever they need to serve the item again. A lot of fast food places have to adhere to certain standards so going to the grocery store to pick up more stuff won't work in most cases. Sometimes menu items are made from leftovers and maybe there weren't enough to make a new batch. Likewise, the food might need to be marinated or slow cooked or whatever. In that instance they would actually have the food, but not be able to serve it. Or maybe the walk-ins/coolers went out or something got dropped or spoiled. It may well have been that the store just didn't order enough chicken, but they also could have experienced some hiccups with shipments. Point is, there are tons of reasons a chicken restaurant would be out of chicken, especially a particular kind. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash time is when you're logged onto the app, but don't have any orders. Active time is when you have orders and it includes when you're just waiting for food to be prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnmjy Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Today I had a very Karen-type customer from, of course, Red Lobster. They supposedly forgot her crab legs. She called me whining, in the most horrible tone, "I want my crab legs. I already paid money for it." So I went back and got her goddam crab legs. The manager was the one that handed me the crab legs. Doordash fortunately compensated me for the extra trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnmjy Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 I had the most interesting delivery ever just now. The customers ended up being my two former coworkers.

PhilosipherStoned Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I've thought about doing something like Doordash before. I signed up when I found an ad in a local job search once, but google must've just randomly threw it in the list because I found out after I went through the registration process Doordash doesn't operate here when I searched for jobs with the app. It's too small of a town I doubt they ever will.
