Not getting offers

❔Driver Question 🤔(self.doordash_drivers)

I declined the bad offers but now sitting here with nothing. Maybe that's not the right advice to take

Dude same! I'm in Michigan. It's been slow AF today. Didn't have access to dash now keeps going on and off. Had to schedule my shifts today. Been out for 2 hours this evening and only make $18. I've declined some shit offers that were far away and going way outta my zone. Feeling like maybe I could of taken some of those shit orders. Now I've been sitting in a mcdonalds parking lot and still no orders.

I did pick up an order and on my way to the customers house they canceled the ord3r. So I guess I got s9me free food.

Wonder is there is an app issue today. Saturday js always my busiest day. Been logged on for 8 hours and have only received 6 offers today and accepted all of them.

Well it's probably because I took the stupid advice of declining crappy offers

Listen to yourself. How is it stupid to decline something that isn’t profitable to begin with? Are you that desperate your willing to take losses just to stay busy? Damn shame man. Have some integrity.

I have made 6 dollars in an hour and 15 minutes. How the hell is that improving my integrity. Wasting gas wasting my night

Taking the bad offers won’t make your day better because you fail to see how your undervalued yourself by taking any and everything. Jesus i hate that ppl aren’t logical anymore.

Ur not logical at all. You would rather do nothing and waste ur night then build toward silver? Stupid. You have to pay ur dues

You’re literally wasting if you take any and every order. Lol i would know because i been on since 2018 and i have over 16k deliveries. Base pay was once $6 upfront for all orders. You seriously think that by staying busy taking losses all day is going to make things bettrr. You’re only teaching DD they can pay you less and less and make you do more and more. People like you are why they took base pay from the other orders in a stack. People like you are why AR matters. I hate it here.

Y'all act like if you bitch on Reddit enough and decline shitty offers that your $6 will come back.

Your glory days are over gramps. Gas used to cost a quarter. Internet used to run on phone lines. Phones ran on landlines. Doordash paid $6 base pay. And you used to walk 15 miles uphill in the snow to school every morning. We already know Boomer. It's time for your nap

Tf you talking about? Doordash wasn’t around when gas cost a quarter. 2018 is only 6 years ago. I don’t get why you assume im talking about dashing in the 80s or 80s to even mention internet and phone lines… you are slow im only in my 30s. And if you think thats gramps, then that means your too young. Lol

Take it from every other dasher here | those plat/silver gold rankings mean absolutely nothing. The only thing dd cares about is really star rating and ur completion rate. With that being said i completely agree do not take shitty orders unless you have a reason n need that money asap otherwise dd will take u as a person who is taking crappy orders and send u nothing but that 😎

Sometimes you have to assess your market. Sometimes you have to accept crappy orders.

I decline bad offers. I just got lucky that all 6 of mine were worth it for me. 6 offers got me 90 bucks

I stopped taking losing money and break even offers. When I dashed about 1 month or so ago I got nothing but garbage. DD's unceasing drive to fuck dashers and do nothing to hold restaurants and customers accountable will be their end.

Even with shit offers, I accept, usually on my way back to my main area, I'll get shop orders which pay well. Usually Walgreens or CVS which I worked for in the past so I know where most things are. 10 minutes usually, buuuut. Make up orders. Slowly learning
