Doordash tipping by the social stratum

[bnmjy]

#anotherdoordashthread

Lower middle class people tip best, followed closely by the working class. Upper classes tend to tip modestly. And, unsurprisingly, the underclass are the worst tippers.

I also delivered to a kid in a working class neighborhood that got into Stanford (a banner was placed on the side of his house).

How long have you been doing it? I found upper class to be largely the worst tippers, underclass, which, come on, would usually give me a buck at least. Upper class would stiff me with no  internal issue more frequently than anyone. I have delivered 70 pizzas and pounds of salad and been stiffed. But I've also delivered 90 and tipped 150, it's a crap shoot with the upper crust. I think the preference can be that the over tipping can make up for the 40% rate of zero.

Over a year now, over a thousand deliveries made. I've gotten more selective in my deliveries lately. Before, I accepted like over 80 percent of of orders. Now, it's down to like 35 percent, lol

Doordash tells you where you'll go and how much you'll make doing it. The worst neighborhoods have the lowest pay, normally. Occasionally, I'll get good pay and I'll accept them. Sorry, I'm not going to the hood for a 3 dollar McDonald's order (not sorry).

The other day, I did have an order to a snooty neighborhood. The pay was decent. When I arrived at the restaurant, the lady told me the food had been sitting on the table for two hours. I already knew what that meant. The customer left no tip, so no one accepted the order for a while. Doordash increases the pay of an order by 25 cents every time someone rejects an order. That order was rejected at least 10 times by the time I accepted it, lol

Do enough people know that 696 is really the number of the beast?

Just as long as my date knows.

$3.00 at a local drive-thru chain that was struggling.

$7.00 for any pizza/Chinese food delivery.

Drivers that deliver to us seem very happy.

I do 18-25% generally.  I did like $18 on an instacart earlier today.  I've tipped like only $2.00 and still 5 stars on Ubers/Lyfts that are $20+ if the driver is awful though.

So the people that stif are getting the service they deserve... That's a pretty genius way to keep drivers happy and a good customer base. Cause if the people who don't take care of your drivers stop ordering who cares.

Doordash has been getting shifty with the pay model lately. The total at the beginning doesn't tell you if a tip is included. You have to guess that if it's higher, a tip was included. Lately, they've been making it seem like the customer added a tip at the end. For example, say I accepted an 8 dollar order. Normally, that means the customer tipped at least four dollars. Often times now, the total was actually like 12 or 13 dollars, not 8 dollars, but you don't find out until the delivery is completely. This sucks, because good tipping customers should get priority. Some people that live far away tip high to compensate. Few are willing to drive more than 10 miles for a single 8 dollar delivery.

It's another class action lawsuit waiting to happen, honestly.

I’m actually going to try setting a low tip when I do DoorDash and then tip them in cash when they get here. Since I’m not in a hurry I can wait for someone to accept and they’ll get more money from the company bc the prior rejections right? Then whoever accepts will get a big tip and big fee. This could work? I do live far away from some particular restaurants (good cannolis) and I do want to reimburse them well for the distance

It varies market by market. Some dashers have no choice but to accept low offers if they live in sparsely populated centers. My region is dense, so I can be picky.

I live in the swamp. 

Door Dash doesn't come out here. 

No one delivers here.
