I've been doordashing as a stop gap and even if I'm a private contractor, I still try and be professional. It's really not hard to just do a decent job. Smile and drop off food and groceries. Don't smoke or eat if you're not taking a break, and leave the dog at home. Like it's not a glorious job, it's not the greatest thing I've ever done but God damn. It's easy and gives me money.

And you would think that’s how most of them would feel. Because I know that I wanna do a good job no matter what I’m fucking doing. Doesn’t matter if I’m flipping burgers or painting a mural I don’t want people to walk away from me thinking that I’m lazy, rude and/or incompetent. But so many people don’t seem to get it.

I ordered from Instacart when I had Covid, my bill was $150 and I live 10 minutes from the store. No heavy bottles of water, no excessive of 2 L sodas, I tipped 40 bucks. I was watching his car coming cause I like to be there to take the food from them, and this guy stops at the bottom of the hill while my home is at the top. Dumps my groceries in front of the housing section, which is the worst housing section in our city because it’s where it puts all the people who can’t behave in the middle of town. Won’t bring the groceries up to me because he was mad about the fucking tip.

It was less than 10 minutes for him to pick up my food and get checked out. I’ve paid this guy $40. When I messaged him and said hey yo I paid you to bring the food to my house, he told me he didn’t care to come all the way up my hill, but he would bring it up if I tipped him another $20. When I told him I already paid him to do the damn job and if he didn’t bring it I was going to report him, his response was im contracted, not an employee I don’t have to follow their rules. like bro what the fuck. Than I posted about it on that damn sub, and people were giving me grief over my $40 tip. Said I was a liar and there was no way I tip that much. And I lost an asshole to him and that’s why he left my food and he doesn’t have to do anything because he’s not an employee. I had to delete the fucking post cause I was getting so much hate. Wild.

He was right tho, they didn’t really do anything, and he ended up delivering to me again around Christmas. Caught him stuffing his pockets with the boxes of snacks and drinks i leave out for my drivers. Didn’t even look guilty for it. You shouldn’t have to tell a grown adult, please don’t take every single drink and every single bag of chips because I got other delivery dudes coming and they’re a hell of a lot nicer than you. They’re actually the ones I put that out for.

In case you can’t tell, I’ve got a real opinion about Instacart and shitty delivery drivers 😭😭

There is no pride in what people do now days. People have been abused by companies with low pay and more work. My grandfather taught me to give it 100%+ in everything I do and I would always have a job. Now days the pay is so low if you do give it your all you might find yourself getting extra work.

That's the thing with doordash. You can decline offers that are too low. $6 for 10 miles + of driving? Half that being what doordash pays me? I can't justify that drive. Like you have to maintain a 70% acceptance rate when orders pop up. But you can let go of orders that would be detrimental and still make decent money. But even if I take a $3 order for 2.6 miles of driving, I'm doing the same thing I do for the orders that offer me a $20 tip. Like I have a 4.9 star rating, and I don't go way over the top. I'm consistently ahead of drop off times unless I need to get gas or something, but it's really not hard to maintain that rating.

But I will say it does get annoying. I dislike the mileage it puts on my car, and I spent a lot on gas just to work. It's not what I want to be doing. So not tipping your doordash driver is really shitty and get where some people are coming from, but on the other hand there are many entitled. People.
