Ha! I just ordered food from DoorDash for the first time ever. I'm really excited about this! I wonder what will happen.

What a time to be alive, eh, jsusc?
If not for Door Dash, I don’t think my neighbor would know how to eat. I don’t know how he affords it.
I’ll see him pull into his driveway from work and then the Door Dash guy will show up an hour later. I’m like, “Just pick that shit up on the way home.”

Better than Grubhub. They screwed us over so many times I deleted the app. DoorDash is the most consistent to my experience.
It was kind of pricey, but I wanted to see how rich people live.
I don’t understand how the driver makes money. You put wear and tear on your car, drive to the place, wait for the food, then drive to the house for what, $3? How is it possible that these people make anymore than like $6 an hour?
So I do instacart and shipt in my spare time when I’m bored and I can make $1200 to $1500 some days . Just for giggles I did it an entire week and made almost $5000 in 40 hours . It’s definitely hard ass work however .
Yeah mostly . Some days you can make insane money some days it’s not even worth it . Most of my orders are beer and wine . People tip like crazy . Basically instacart pays you a couple of bucks based on how big the order is and then the customer tips on top . Most folks who can afford to have their groceries and booze delivered have no problem tipping $40 or $50 . I just do it as a side hustle but there’s some weeks that it’s just insane . If you live in a big tourist area like Charleston or MB you can make bank . However it’s hard work . Carrying 5 cases of water up 5 flights of stairs in the 100 degree heat in August can get a little old !! I play music for a living so during the day I have a lot of spare time so it’s a good way to get out of the house and make some extra $$ .
If the fries were in there they probably ate 2 or 3 before they arrive.
First and only time I ever used it, the driver got in a wreck leaving the restaurant. I was supposed to receive my food at 7:35. I waited until 8:30 and called the driver, they answered and were in the back of an ambulance. I wanted so bad to ask “so what about my food?” but I didn’t. Tried to call the restaurant but they didn’t answer. So I had to email doordash to get a refund. Figured that was my sign to never use it again and I haven’t.
Used it once in Charlotte and I ended up getting into it with Door Dash and Wingstop. Never again...fug em.
Just want to say, if DoorDash leaves your food on the porch, and rings the doorbell and runs away, and the bag is on fire, whatever you do, DO NOT stomp on it!!!!
That avocado was so nasty. Free was still too much to pay for it. I saw that DoorDash guy through the window, but I had on a tattered shirt so I couldn't speak to him. I think he had a forearm tatoo.
for Charlotte there's Door Dash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats.
If you continue to use them... be prepared to eventually have some bad experiences like any other food service.
I've had completely wrong orders get delivered.
An order stolen by the driver and claimed to have been delivered.
A driver pick up the food but still not deliver it for another 90 minutes making everything cold.
And probably the worst, a driver demand for a tip more than 20% because traffic was bad
It’s just like any other service business.. You will get some really excellent drivers who go above and beyond and some who just suck . In all gig work you can rate your driver and if they do a piss poor job rate them accordingly . Enough bad ratings and they will eventually be deactivated (fired) or have their order opportunities significantly decreased . On the flip side if you receive exceptional service rate then highly . This weeds out the bad ones . My neighbor is a full time gig worker . He does DoorDash , grubhub , Ubereats , instacart , shipt etc etc .. and he makes bank . He works his ass off . He told me he came over from Haiti 10 years ago he had $100 In his pocket . Now he drives a Lexus SUV and is putting his two girls thru college doing gig work . The cool thing about the gig economy is if a person has a cellphone , a car , and some initiative they can be extremely successful since the demand is so high . I think it’s pretty cool.
I gave this guy a high rating. He was so fast, he must've been sitting in the Wendy's parking lot with his car in gear just waiting for an order, and he followed the directions on where to leave it if I wasn't at the door. My Frosty wasn't even melted!
I used to use Postmates some. But out here, they hardly ever have any restaurants to order from or drivers to deliver the food. However, they keep sending me discounts and offers out the wazoo. It would be nice if I could actually use them...
I've never used any of the food delivery services, but when I see them picking up orders from the to-go lines, I've often thought the drivers look really sketchy. Like "I wouldn't want that guy carrying my food for 15 minutes" kind of sketchy. No offense to any of the drivers on here, of course. I'm sure it's just a few that stood out to me.
Yeah, like I said, I think that guy had a forearm tattoo, but he could've been drunk when he got it.
Weren't we before? We just drove through McDonalds or KFC. Now it is all delivered. Pizza has been this way for years.
I got a job delivering pizza one summer when I was in school. On my first day the guy that was training me looked at me and said, "So, what's your problem?" Perplexed, I was like, "What?" Then he said, "We are pizza delivery drivers for a reason. See Fred over there? He's a drunk. Gary likes to diddle little kids. Walter? Recovering drug addict. Me, I'm lazy a Hell and have no ambition in life. So, I'll ask again. What's your problem?"
I told him I was a chronic masturbator.
Try Marco’s. It’s a little pricey, but it’s the best “corporate “ pizza, imho.
I’m glad you brought this up. The problem I have with Doordash, Ubereats, etc. is they back up the drive thru. Especially if they aren’t pulled forward, which I haven’t witnessed yet.
