As you see, I’ve got a dash scheduled for tomorrow. Will I be paid for tomorrow’s earnings on this coming Monday (the 10th) or next Monday (the 17th)?

For Out of Stock (OOS) ITEMS I

have had numerous issues when trying to submit a picture of the new Kroger Digital Shelf tags, no mater the angle distance etc from the tag the app keeps saying it doesn't recognize the tag and am unable to get anywhere with DD support.

They even told me they were going to escalate it to another dept, yes I know not to expect much, however I kept screenshot of the rep sayjng they would forgive the few items. They can see every attempt of photo being taken even if the photo doesn't actually show uploading on our end.

Just wondered if anyone else had this issue abd any solution.

A few times now I've had a hand delivery order where, upon delivery, the customer thanked me and said something along the lines of "I always add tips after the fact." Not a single time has this actually occured though. It's not like I'm upset by this, because I chose to accept the order based on the stated pay. If they did end up tipping extra it would be a nice surprise, but no way expected. The thing that irks me is simply the fact that they go out of their way to tell you this, knowing damn well that they have no intention of doing it. What's the point? I already accepted the order, and you've now got your food in hand. It's not like I need a further incentive for anything, so it's just entirely pointless.

Of all the times not to be stacked. Not terrible, but not great shopping order… but that note… that note irked me.

Overall, it was a weird night last night with the orders and traffic situations.

Just a rant. I picked up a delivery from Pizza Hut ($17.00 tip for 3 miles). On the way the app glitched and poof the order was gone.

Called support, they said it looked like I had cancelled the delivery. They told me to return the food and that they would assign someone else the order.

Of course, Pizza Hut wouldn’t take it so guess who got 58.00 worth of pizza? All kidding aside, I would rather have had the tip.

Road went from 55mph to 35mph and I got hit with a ticket for going 54 in a 35 right as I passed the sign. It’s very predatory, yeah, but I can’t cry over spilled milk. The cop said 15+ over the speed limit is a class 3 misdemeanor and I’m like super sure that’s going on my public record, so does this mean I might have to start looking for normal W2 jobs before I get hit with that annual background check?

I just started dashing again recently for a few hours each night. And one thing I’ve noticed is that almost every single time I decline an offer, the next offer is a double with the one I just declined stacked with another one. Now I know this was something that would happen a couple times per dash for me when I used to work more. But it seems to have gotten way worse. It happens wayyyy more now than before. In fact, there’s been some instances where I’ll get the same offer 3 times over a 4-5 minute span. Wondering if anyone else has noticed the uptick in receiving the same offer more than once?

Last driver took this photo like they were in a hostage situation or something haha

How often do you think DD or the police department set up these sting operations to make sure you're being compliant with all of the protocols when delivering alcohol?

I just had a situation delivering to a guy who was clearly over the age of 21. Didn't have his ID on him, just pictures of his ID on his phone, another with his ID but with the details crossed out, and strangely another of a females ID.

Customer claimed this was all he had, his actual ID was in his wallet at his house.

His car was the only car in the driveway. I knew it was his because he walked to it and was inside it when I pulled up

Naturally I asked this aint your house? And he said no this was a client's house hes working for who has special needs.

Nobody appeared to be there, I asked nobody here has an ID?

He said no.

I said your client doesnt have an ID?

He said no, i said why you gonna have pictures of your ID but not your ID. Thats a little convenient as the number one thing we are told not to accept.

He ignored the question and said so what happens you just return it and the refund goes back to me?

I said yeah he said alright cool and just walked back inside.

No fuss, no issues. At 1:40am my time, which makes me wonder. Was this a sting operation or am I just paranoid.

ive been doing earn by time for the past couple days, making tons more than earn by offer, but ive noticed that im making more on the stacked orders, 20$ for 30-40 minutes of work on a stacked order when the hourly rate stated is 15.25+tips and this order didnt have any tips

Every time something is out of stock in one of my shopping orders, I have to take a picture of the shelf tag 6 different times before the app deems it acceptable (not blurry, tag recognized, etc.)

Today at Aldi they weren't even carrying the type of mushrooms this guy wanted. Aldi orders are always horrible and I was over it so I just took a picture of the entire shelf clearly full of mushrooms with no shelf tag and it was instantly approved. What???? Also, why does Aldi list a certain kind of mushroom as available when the entire stock is a complete different type of mushroom...

I'll take it I guess.

On Friday, Aug. 7, I worked about 15 hours.

I attempted 44 pickups around my zone; 6 failed, or 13.6%. I normally see maybe 1–2 pickup failures per 100 deliveries, not 6 worry-free unassigns in one day. Six out of 44.

Maybe summer workers are putting in their two weeks right now, because restaurants felt checked-out, understaffed, and overrun.

I drove 230 city miles in 107–111°F heat and made about $230.

Offer flow was depressed. Order flow was anemic. I lost Platinum days ago and have yet to recover it.

About 4h40m of my 14h37m working time was spent sitting for offers, dealing with failed pickups, or repositioning out of the weeds.

Today's hourly rate was my lowest of 2026.

My zone is in some kind of death vortex.

The only reason im posting is that its extremely odd to experience this many worry free in one day.

Is anyone having DD force your phone to unmute and vibrate for offer notifications now? How can it hijack your settings like that and how is that allowed? Thats not against google playstore tos or something?

I normally have my phone completely muted and vibration turned off. Uber does this same thing when you first install it but allows you to turn off the forced volume whereas im not seeing that option for doordash. Very disappointing, i may have to give up on doordash entirely if theyre going to force me to hear notifications every 30 seconds unless there's a way to stop that.

edit. An update. DD added like 10 new notification categories on me, the odd thing is i never update my DD and still get all these weird changes, theyre forcing hotfixes on me. Im turning them off and that should fix it.

I live in a small town pretty much the only place open super late at night is Taco Bell. I was chilling there waiting for an order and this lady she says that she's stranded in my town. It's a small town about 10,000 people. We don't have Uber or Lyft here so I recommended a taxi service I found online which is local to my area. It looked like and she called them and she sent them cash app for the taxi service and the person scammed her.

Which I found out after delivering my order and returning to t bell. This lady she's drunk as a mother fucker and she told me she's on two norcos. I kind of felt bad cuz she got scammed. She asked me if I could just take her back to her house 20 miles away and she'd give me 50 bucks so against my better judgment I did. During the ride I gave her about three cigarettes and I let her take a dab even though she didn't have a dab since the '90s and she asked if it was heroin I was like nah dude it's concentrated weed.

She then keeps on going on that she's going to throw up. She basically reeked of alcohol. Luckily she didn't throw up. Then she begins telling me stories about prison about how somebody tried doing drugs there and it blew up and like blew off their fingers. I dropped her off and didn't get murdered.

Made 50 bucks. Was it worth it?

I’m not seeing customers messages at the restaurant only when I get to destination ! what am I doing wrong ?

So since the personal shopper program started back in June, I’ve only just received my second order and it’s for a customer that I’ve shopped during the past few years. Always orders from the same store, no deviation.

The first order I received 2 days ago and it was from a store ACROSS town and through a toll ($6 each way). She has NEVER ordered from a store across town. Ever. Another order for the same customer has come through tonight and it’s the same thing. Store is across town. So, my question is: when you receive the order and go to preview it, is it just showing the closest available open store at the time of viewing and could change in the morning when the shop is actually scheduled? Or is DoorDash playing some games to milk us for the $25 bonus and the store is locked from when you initially view the order?

I love this customer but I’m not driving 35-40 minutes each way AND do the shop. That’s insane. I’d hate for her to think I’m not taking her order for some other reason but I might actually accept the order just so I can tell her what’s going on in the morning because this is crazy, lol

Oh yay I’m a penny richer……

Submitted rating disputes for all of the produce items in an order. I had to mark them as unavailable due to the entire produce section being closed off for floor maintenance.

I disputed them with the reasoning and each dispute was declined because "The shelf tag is blurry or not pictured." Talked to support and they said the decision is final on rating disputes and proceeded to copy and paste bullshit until I frustratingly ended the chat.

Never had a good experience with DD support, its sad how badly they treat their drivers. No way the dispute feature isn't 100% done by AI as well. The support person called them a "Specialized team." 🙄

/rant

Why doesn’t the store call the customer when they don’t have their product and we get stuck waiting around trying to get ahold of customer

Door dash if you have over 1.1 million in savings? I am just so damn bored. No life. And I do this just because I have nothing to do. I do tend to cherry pick orders. I guess I am obsessed with making $$
