      I hope you tipped! I drive for them and they barely pay a thing. A trip that would cost 20 bucks on uber or lyft pay like $6 at most. Average is $2-4 per delivery, seriously

      @guacaholic Never take low paying orders. Let that shit sit on the shelf at the restaurant to get cold. Not the drivers problem

      @guacaholic dang. I will say I would be able to tip higher if DoorDash didn’t raise menu prices so much.

    They need to pay their drivers more.. I just signed back up for uber bc getting 4.00 to drive 20 minutes is complete BS. And I’d say about 1 in 20 people tip a couple bucks. It’s only worth driving when the bonus areas are up, but even that will top out at $3.00 per delivery, which I would always drive during bc it offers the most possible I can make. Usually the bonus areas are $1.00, if they’re up at all. When I say a delivery will pay you $2-4.00 to drive at least 20 mins round trip, I’m not exaggerating. Its atrocious how little they pay their drivers. I’m one of them.

      There’s videos on YouTube where drivers are making hundreds of dollars a day. Are they BS?

      @H they only make that kind of money in huge cities. I live in a town of less than 10k people and I’m happy to make 10 dollars an hour.

      Shit I’m in Baltimore and you can make a hundo in a day but you’re gonna be driving ALL. DAY.

    Always cringy when a person uses the trope “Look”, when starting a statement. We see it as a sign of low IQ, fear, narcissism, lack of knowledge, racism, mental health deficiency, etc. Also very ‘sus’ is how can someone who made so much money not have the ability to get a haircut that doesn’t make him look like a special needs kid?!

    Any one that order from door dash is supporting their evil empire. Bullying small businesses and their drivers. It’s a shame that people that order from it don’t know what they are doing to their drivers.

    The smartest thing he did was incorporate insanely fast grocery store delivery like Safeway and quick safe payment like ApplePay.

    DoorDash just lowered it’s driver pay, that is why. Lol. Base pay is $2 to drive your order to you before tip.

    Pay drivers more money tony and stop hiding the tips just straight cheap

  11. twiggyb67

    Customers suffer because of the low base pay . Drivers can`t cover costs to the car and time so they have to decline the orders. This gets repeatedly declined by several other drivers with the same costs and the order gets delayed greatly allowing food to cool if and when it does get picked up or canceled completely. Customers also expecting orders to travel several miles for low or no tip as well.

    Here’s a little known fact…us drivers aren’t happy anymore.

  15. Eric Fondriest

    August 15, 2021 at 3:34 pm

    I’ll never use DD and if I do I’ll never ever tip a driver ever. I used to be a driver at a pizza place and was fired because my company outsourced it to Doordash. Since then their deliveries have gone down like 50% but they make more money not paying drivers.
    Also not to mention Doordash ups the prices like 50-60% and doesnt tell you, and if you just call the restaurant they’ll charge normal price then just ask for delivery.

    Alot of talk about customers, what about driver’s lol

      They don’t care about drivers.

    DoorDash need to pay drivers more not reduced the base pay

  18. Steady Stackin'

    The demand side is EZ. Executing on the operational aspect is the key with this company. Long term, its probably autonomous driving that makes this company successful

    ..,..,,AMAZON:
    Yep, I bought a ton on the dip. It’s getting cheaper relative to its current earnings (half compared to last year).

    Amazon invested $14 billion in the last quarter alone, the same as it spent in 6 months before that. It is a do not sell stock.

    …With the Delta virus coming at full speed ahead, pandemic sales will make a comeback.

    Amazon is investing so much money, that no competitor will ever be able to catch up.

    Amazon’s not going anywhere so I know that eventually it will come back.
    Fidelity considers Amazon as a large growth company (probably because as big as it is, it still only has 7% of the retail market)

    Get on board or be runover, it’s up to you.
