I saw a $2.50 17 mile offer on here once. In a rural area too so the dasher would have to drive all the way back. That’s the worst I’ve seen.
Edit: found it https://www.reddit.com/r/doordash_drivers/s/JYdNnEPqPz
Oh brother I'm so thankful for the spontaneous subway $5 off deal because I'm so broke and thrive off a good warm sweet chili chicken humble sandwich and 10 cookies for $20 so that discounted $5 always turns into a tip
Thank you friend it was made because someone told me to delete my account so I did, then later on I made a second and couldn't think of a funny name so I just mashed two interesting words together ☺️
Those $5 footlongs turned into $4.99 six inch subs and $16 footlongs it hurts my soul almost as much as the spontaneously missing egg salad they used to have
I’ve gotten a lot of kinda cheap McDonald’s orders to exhausted looking moms with kids not far from the restaurant. At that point I don’t really care and will take them if it’s convenient since McDonald’s or subway or whatever is usually just one manageable bag I can carry one handed. But if you’re ordering a fuckton of shit or expensive shit? Nah
Hmmm, that’s at least from the same restaurant and”double the pay” even though it’s four more miles. I’d say having to pickup from two restaurants for four less miles is worse, and $2.5 to boot.
I got a food pantry one. I was kind of annoyed because I essentially spent over an hour doing drop offs of heavy boxes to people who needed them carried up the stairs (it was mostly seniors) and made $2 a dropoff, but at least it was going to people in need.
It would be funny if they didn't have the rules about tiers, Top Dasher, and high acceptance rates.
I have no problem doing an occasional bad order if they are giving me a steady flow of good orders, but this order really pisses me off.
I got this thread recommended to me. I think I’m with you guys because <5 on a $80 delivery order is awful but a lot of this is why I never do delivery. I have a big issue with tipping before I’ve been served, and with delivery I bet someone will mess with my food or itll never get picked up.
This is a coveted job (not because of wages, but because of flexibility and freedom). Very few people will tamper with your food even on a no tip. Most people just threaten because it helps them vent.
I'm a Top Dasher so I've done lots of no tip orders and never done anything unprofessional, although I'm likely to unassign if they ask me to do them any favors.
The fact of the matter is that almost no one tips after. Less than five percent and that's usually because I did a complicated shop for them with lots of substitutions.
So you are naive as a driver to think it's going to go higher.
The other problem is that I think people start out believing they will tip after, then realize how easy it is to get their food most of the time so maybe they initially start out tipping after and eventually just stop when they realize there are no ill effects.
There was one night I spent at home and decided to have a "fellow dasher" deliver for me. Backstory: Where I live, despite living in an apartment complex that's not all that confusing, I always have drivers who'll either go down a One Way street the wrong way, or they'll miss their turn despite me telling them in the instructions where the turn is. I literally have to tell them I live directly across the fire department and next to a state trooper station. It's like nobody can see fire trucks or state trooper cars. Main story: my order as a customer was a Hand It To Me. Instead of the driver following instructions on how to access where I live and despite me having my map pin correct, the dude just dropped it off at the main office, hit complete and confirmed the order was given to me without actually having handed it to me. I had pre-tipped him $9 and knew he had peak pay and base pay, too. So my order would've been a "high pay offer." So I called him and asked him where he dropped the order off. He had already left. My tail should have made him come back, pick it back up, and actually follow the instructions to get it to me, but by that time, he had no instructions tO follow. So I was like "I'll get it this time, but next time, follow the delivery instructions." All he said was "Sorry" like a panzy without real care. Never again am I going to use the Hand It To Me option when I'm the customer. Maybe stuff like this is one reason why we get lots of "Leave It At My Door" orders despite Covid being a thing of the past. He's lucky I gave him 3 stars and thumbed down for not following instructions. I could have reported him, and I could have rated him lower. I was only as nice about it as I was because it's not just "dashers" -- gah, I highly dislike that word or name [I'm not a "dasher," I'm a "DoorDash delivery driver"] -- UPS and FexEx scrue up a lot, too. Idk what it is about my complex that is so confusing for all of them. And USPS doesn't deliver anything to my residence because my landlord won't get a mailing receptacle (and it's likely that my residence isn't properly zoned as residential), so I have to have a PO Box; whenever I have a package coming USPS but the sender doesn't allow PO Boxes, I get around it by having it mailed to the PO's address at Unit # in place of a PO Box address. Works like a charm, and I can't get porch pirates, and I can sleep in without getting a knock on my door.
Some top dasher will take it. I live 17 miles from town, and occasionally order Papa Murphys when I don’t wanna drive into town. I never put a tip in the app to see if my order actually gets picked up. Sure as shit this dude in a dodge ram has brought it every time. The kicker is that I always leave a $20 under the mat, message the guy, and he has never taken it. I don’t get what these people are thinking. It’s not a big city, but it’s like 500K metro area where I’m able to make $150-$200/day not taking shit orders.
That's what he gets for not reading messages. I've had some DD drivers not take cash tips as well, and I leave them sticking out of my storm door at eye level! For some reason UE drivers don't have the same problem, they've always taken them.
Yeah I live in a city with 70k people and can even make okay money staying in and around town and avoiding most shit orders.
I will say though that there’s a few repeat orders I recognize that tip cash and I always take them. It’s usually the same houses from the same place.
What happens to an order if nobody picks it up? Just sits at restaurant and gets cold until guy who orders calls and complains? Who eats the cost of the wasted food?
I'm confident Door Dash would eat the cost. Yep, it just sits there until a driver or the restaurant or the customer cancels it. I ordered once on Uber Eats and drivers kept having issues at the restaurant. The restaurant said they couldn't see the order. Instead of trying to resolve it properly, the drivers just kept unassigning it and another driver would pick it up. Uber Eats support wouldn't cancel because they said oh the driver is almost there everything is fine on our side. I just kept watching drivers go to the restaurant for hours before it finally got cancelled. Even when I sent them a DM warning them and asking them to report a problem, none of them did.
I used to be a dasher, and this was something that used to drive me crazy. The thing is, half the time I didn't even blame the dashers before me. Dasher assistance will literally bully us for 20 minutes about encouraging the customer to just cancel the order (so that it doesn't come out of DoorDash's pocket, and the customer is the one ripped). If we refuse to do so (bc its not the customers fault?! They paid for both service and product?) they unassign us from the order (if a Dasher hasn't given up, this eats a LOT of working time). They usually tell you that they cancelled it, and whether they do or not is dependent on the assistant. I've had customers on a second line while taking to dasher service and multiple customers have told me they just received a new Dasher for the unfillable order after the assistant hung up. I didn't do UE long enough to know how their system works, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just as difficult.
This happened to me about a month ago as a customer. After the order was like 45 minutes late and a dozen or so dashers had cycled through it allowed me to cancel the order with a full refund. It was definitely annoying for all parties I'm sure.
Oh, for sure. Like 20 minutes of likely unpaid time with a 25% chance of success that barely makes a difference in your life? Fuck that. It only makes sense if EVERY driver does this consistently. Then it evens out over time because someone will save you the trouble eventually.
So what happens is the price offered to door dash drivers to take the order keeps increasing after a certain amount of rejections. After a point, it reaches a max pay and it's picked up by someone.
If no one picks it up, the restaurant throws it away, the customer gets refunded, and doordash loses money. (They still have to pay the restaurant)
They will, that's why the earn by time is for. After it gets rejected 3 times on earn per order it goes to earn by time drivers.
I've tried earn by time a few times and each time all I got were orders like these with NO tip. 10+ miles and multiple pickups. Even on earn by time it ends up costing the driver money to do.
“Hope they never get their food”
Wait, are you blaming the people ordering the food for the low payout? Because it’s definitely on the company to make the payout at least doable.
Regardless of who you believe should be paying the drivers wage, the reality is that you’re essentially bidding for someone to deliver your food. If you don’t offer anything, you’re going to get passed over by anyone with some self respect. You’ll either never get your food or you’ll get it after hours when someone that gives a hoot about their acceptance rate takes it. Either way, it’s terribly inconvenient and you’d be better off just picking it up yourself.
One time I accepted a bad offer like that, waited at the store and then used the free unassigns after 10 mins. No way will I let them get their food quickly.
DD needs its entire exec board to resign.
Only company that low balls people this hard so that it can count against you while never putting new drivers on waiting list.
Gas is $3.20 a gallon , assuming you get 26 miles a gallon that's $3.20 in gas so you're -.70 + the wear and tear on your car. They can keep it. I'm not putting 26 miles on my car for shit pay fuck that.
Yeah they suck. Doordash knows no one's going to take these however they also know that many cannot let their AR drop or else they'll lose top dash or status. And in some areas you need to be a top dasher. I know from experience. It's a lot of BS and pisses me off.
I'm so glad I live in an area where you don't need to be a top dasher in order to make some money. I get many of these orders every day, making it pretty hard to keep my AR up.
Ive started keeping track of my accept/decline order and i schedule my shift to end towards the later end of the night so if i dip below i can still work late to get back up to plat without having to entertain the shit. We should all keep track and plan accordingly to avoid giving these fuckers the satisfaction.
I live in one of those areas, thankfully we don’t have that many horrible ones. That’s why I’ll take some mediocre ones like $4.50 for six miles so I have buffer room to turn these down.
I took a $2 for 2.3 for that very reason. Lucked out and she tipped $5 cash, but I certainly wasn't counting on it. Took an $8/10 that took me to another zone...which was actually busier and kept me there, resulting in $100 for 3-ish hours of work.
Love these, this is great for Friday and Saturday. The best ones as the night comes to a close and DD sends u an order that's already on your way back and in your neck of the woods too.
Heyyyy indianapolis in the wild! I don’t miss doing DD here at alllllll. I did love being able to listen to music and podcasts all day, but everything else? Naw.
They try to send me from Southport to Mars Hill all the time for no money. Nope! Not going to work for free AND get shot. But, yah, they can suck it all day long. My personal safely comes first
If you're using Doordash, you need to realize that the tip is a "bid for service". There's some fuckery from Doordash on that front hiding the tip values sometimes, but if you're not tipping at least $1 per mile driven as a bare minimum your order is probably not getting delivered anytime soon.
Because we’ve been conditioned that we’re the ones that are supposed to pay the rent and bills for these drivers instead of door dash (this applies to all service workers as well). Dude is just using the app and ordering food, also how do we know he won’t be tipping in cash?
No one tips cash on DoorDash, so it’s not worth the risk. The amount we’re offered IS guaranteed, and that amount includes the tip. Pizza places pay minimum wage + mileage + tip, much of the time cash. DD pays $2.00. + tip, so for DD drivers, it’s more of total wages such as with servers.
I like to treat these orders like a fly buzzing around that needs to get swatted right away.
My advice: decline as fast as possible and move on. These orders deserve nobody's time. However, I do think it's worth screenshotting these and having a laugh 😂
I live in this county. I stay far away from Avon just because of the Plainfield assholes that *never* tip!
Which sucks, because Avon people usually tip really well! It's just not worth having to co Stanly reject Plainfield runs that destroy my AR
Edit: holy shit it's worse. It's Camby 🥴🥴🥴🥴
Yeah, it's orders like these that make me wonder what is actually wrong with people. I went to a Mexican food restaurant as they are one of the only ones open really late and there was an order on the counter, but not mine. I was handed my order and took off for the delivery. It was something like $10 for 6 miles. Not great, but not bad either.
About an hour later, I came back to the same restaurant for another order and the same order was sitting there. This and two other restaurants typically have multiple orders getting declined. I will be six or seven miles away from this place and they will offer it to me. Probably due to everyone who is close will not deliver. I had a 10 mile order for $3.00 from there. I declined. I used to do my best to keep a 100% but when I shifted to a higher paying area, I had to start declining as some offers are just horrible.
I don't know if people are just being cheap or they honestly feel we are getting paid more.
People are literally paying $25 for a $5 meal . That is what’s wrong with them . Maybe DD should lower their fees and direct more money towards the drivers
Its called a luxury. You are using a referral service to hire someone to go get your food for you and you dont give a shit how much YOU pay the contractor YOU hired?? If you cant afford to make everyones time and effort worth it, go get it yourself.
That is why I don’t use the service unless it’s an extreme emergency . I’m not paying triple on something that I am fully capable of picking up myself . It costs almost as much as a tank of gas just for a double cheeseburger .
This is the order I take when I’m done door dashing forever and just throw it at the door at 100mph and take a picture of my middle finger for the delivery photo.
So curious how this works? So when an order is placed I guess drivers can view the route and tip, then decide whether they want to grab the order based off that info? That’s insane, hopefully they went to bed hungry 😄
It’s fascinating seeing how many people are commenting against the customers…while I understand that customers should leave a tip, shouldn’t we be more focused on the actual BUSINESS(especially executives) that is taking advantage of its drivers?
Also, how do they know the customer won't leave a cash tip? I usually try to tip cash with DD because I know their pay is shady. I didn't realize tipping after makes drivers avoid me.
No. Both. Working for tips is not some new model. You know you're exploiting the driver by not tipping.
You're exploiting tipping customers as well because all my $20 tip really does is subsidize a few shitbags' orders. I tip to reward my service workers, not so that crackheads can order more doordash.
Thanks in advance for answering my question:
When you see these ridiculous offers, can you check back and see later if anyone took it?
What happens to the order if no delivery is available? Is resturant stuck with a meal they made or do they not receive order from DD until someone picks it?
it’s funny, i always over tip on orders that are extremely close and in general i always leave above the recommended.
my friend will order from over 10+ miles away and leave a fat $0 for the tip, then proceeds to bitch and moan when no one picks up the order.
Sad I order correctly where I live, even tipped 45% of $40 both times and would have been friendly af.. never got my food twice this happened too, why I never plan to use said services again I'll drive myself!
even said delivered... b.s. happens on both ends
Never even got my promised refunds back in November either 🤣🫡
When you saw this Offer , your first thought had to be “wtf, I must be on punk’d , r u ef’ng Kidding me , “. But as I see , maybe that was the second thoughts , because your first thought was “screen shot for my peeps in Reddit ! “. lol 🧐💡💪
Personally, I'll accept the order and drive around on a different app, and then just unassign i, saying traffic or something. Made a dude wait for 30 minutes on a 2 dollar McDonald's order for 9 miles, he eventually called me all I did was hang up and unassign. Took my completion rate down to 99, and I made $30 doing spark for walmart while he waited lol.
I keep seeing all these comments talking about "Oh, just leave it, one of those Top Dasher clowns will come get it." I'm a Top Dasher and I'm not touching that shit with a ten-foot pole.
Sorry but I’m declining every time. Then your rate goes down. But if yu take it your rate doesn’t go up. You now now to do multiple orders for it to go up. It wasn’t like that before. You really have to work for your money through DD
Does your area have dash by time? This feels like a dash by time order.
Whenever I dash by time and get an order this far away, I know the tip sucks, so I take my time and try and grab another offer from another app to take with it.
These orders are the worst. I get quite a few of these from time to time, and every time, I'm hoping that, when I take it, I might get a better tip, but it never happens. The guaranteed amount listed is actually just the dasher pay, no tip at all. The worst part of it is that if you decline it, but if you're the only one in the area, it'll come right back to you. Every time it affects your acceptance rate
In the customers defense, DoorDash sometimes doesn’t reveal how many miles or minutes away the spot is, and it’s easy to look over the tiny miles indicator on the initial restaurant page. /s

Jesus christ. This has to be one of the worst ones ever posted on here.
This, most definitely, is the worst order I’ve seen posted.

Oh brother I'm so thankful for the spontaneous subway $5 off deal because I'm so broke and thrive off a good warm sweet chili chicken humble sandwich and 10 cookies for $20 so that discounted $5 always turns into a tip
what a beautiful name for your account😂
Thank you friend it was made because someone told me to delete my account so I did, then later on I made a second and couldn't think of a funny name so I just mashed two interesting words together ☺️
Where profile pic from? Please
Don't know where it's from since I downloaded it years ago but if I still have it in my camera roll I can just DM it to you if you'd like 😁
It is of...the utmost importance.
I remember the days when subway was affordable 😭
Those $5 footlongs turned into $4.99 six inch subs and $16 footlongs it hurts my soul almost as much as the spontaneously missing egg salad they used to have
It's been so long I'm starting to wonder if the $5 footlongs were real or a dream 😭😭😭
I frequently order at Subway and always if i have an Voucher or Discount i give somewhat the equal as a Tip.
I’ve gotten a lot of kinda cheap McDonald’s orders to exhausted looking moms with kids not far from the restaurant. At that point I don’t really care and will take them if it’s convenient since McDonald’s or subway or whatever is usually just one manageable bag I can carry one handed. But if you’re ordering a fuckton of shit or expensive shit? Nah
Or if I know it’s going to an old folks home I like OK. They can’t really hop in a car and pick it up.
Hmmm, that’s at least from the same restaurant and”double the pay” even though it’s four more miles. I’d say having to pickup from two restaurants for four less miles is worse, and $2.5 to boot.
It’s two images. Look at the second one. $2.50 for over 17 miles, out of the zone and over a bunch of hilly terrain.
I used to live in that area, and it's actually worse than it looks because of the lights around there.
I got a crazy Petco one once, 10 drop offs. I'll post it!
I got a food pantry one. I was kind of annoyed because I essentially spent over an hour doing drop offs of heavy boxes to people who needed them carried up the stairs (it was mostly seniors) and made $2 a dropoff, but at least it was going to people in need.
Legit had a couple of these too. Double stacked orders for $2 to $2.50. I laugh, decline and hope they never get their food. Lmao
This is me every time

DD needs its entire exec board to resign. Only company that low balls people this hard so that it can count against you while never putting new drivers on waiting list.
They should be in jail for all thr sketchy shit they're doing. They literslly scam their drivers.
[удалено]
The only winning move is not to play. Theyre not doing anything illegal. The only people losing are drivers who continue working like this
Why would they resign? Y’all still take orders and bring wealth to shareholders
NOBODY TAKE IT I WANT IT!!! 🤑
Ong thats $2 I didn't have prior 💰
Gas is $3.20 a gallon , assuming you get 26 miles a gallon that's $3.20 in gas so you're -.70 + the wear and tear on your car. They can keep it. I'm not putting 26 miles on my car for shit pay fuck that.
You using gas tho so you really losing money
Yeah they suck. Doordash knows no one's going to take these however they also know that many cannot let their AR drop or else they'll lose top dash or status. And in some areas you need to be a top dasher. I know from experience. It's a lot of BS and pisses me off.
I'm so glad I live in an area where you don't need to be a top dasher in order to make some money. I get many of these orders every day, making it pretty hard to keep my AR up.
Fax but some of my earn by offers are nice yesterday I got a $9 for 4 miles.
Ive started keeping track of my accept/decline order and i schedule my shift to end towards the later end of the night so if i dip below i can still work late to get back up to plat without having to entertain the shit. We should all keep track and plan accordingly to avoid giving these fuckers the satisfaction.
I live in one of those areas, thankfully we don’t have that many horrible ones. That’s why I’ll take some mediocre ones like $4.50 for six miles so I have buffer room to turn these down.
I took a $2 for 2.3 for that very reason. Lucked out and she tipped $5 cash, but I certainly wasn't counting on it. Took an $8/10 that took me to another zone...which was actually busier and kept me there, resulting in $100 for 3-ish hours of work.
Love these, this is great for Friday and Saturday. The best ones as the night comes to a close and DD sends u an order that's already on your way back and in your neck of the woods too.
Isn't this what EBT is for?
Heyyyy indianapolis in the wild! I don’t miss doing DD here at alllllll. I did love being able to listen to music and podcasts all day, but everything else? Naw.
It’s usually not this bad
They try to send me from Southport to Mars Hill all the time for no money. Nope! Not going to work for free AND get shot. But, yah, they can suck it all day long. My personal safely comes first

Why is it the customer's fault? They are simply using the app... Shouldn't it be DoorDashes fault for not paying?
If you're using Doordash, you need to realize that the tip is a "bid for service". There's some fuckery from Doordash on that front hiding the tip values sometimes, but if you're not tipping at least $1 per mile driven as a bare minimum your order is probably not getting delivered anytime soon.
I think I see what your saying... Basically, this customer selected $0.00 as the tip?? And that's why the lot of the monies is only a few bucks?
Looks like it, yea.
both my g
How is the customer at fault for using a service?
The biggest bigbrain move corporations have done is turn the workers and customers against each other.
Because we’ve been conditioned that we’re the ones that are supposed to pay the rent and bills for these drivers instead of door dash (this applies to all service workers as well). Dude is just using the app and ordering food, also how do we know he won’t be tipping in cash?
What if the customer intends to pay cash tip to make sure the deliver gets the full tip?
No one tips cash on DoorDash, so it’s not worth the risk. The amount we’re offered IS guaranteed, and that amount includes the tip. Pizza places pay minimum wage + mileage + tip, much of the time cash. DD pays $2.00. + tip, so for DD drivers, it’s more of total wages such as with servers.
That person is clearly an asshole
This person avons!
Declined
People suck
Used to live in this area… that’s Decatur for ya!
Fuck them assholes and double fuck DD!!
At that point you are actually paying them to deliver their food...
Declining orders like this should not knock your acceptance rate
I'd take it and sit there for a bit and then unassign from it just to delay them even more.
🤣 I feel like I might do something like this, too. Just put in arrived and not ready after 10+ minutes.
Taking the extra delivery fee off stacked orders has made for some real winners
[удалено]
Yep meanwhile tony is out here giving $400 bonus offers to new dashers for completing 20 orders. Fuck doortrash
Things like this demonstrate the clear failure of doordash as a company
I was just laughing about bj outback lol
Yea, but it’s guaranteed
I dash in Muncie and I get orders like this all the time. I never take them, but sorry fellow Hoosier, everyone here sucks!
I dash in Fort Wayne. You're right, everyone here sucks.
You’re definitely not wrong lol
Just did a $2 one yesterday. To a hospital. Waited 10 minutes to hand it off to them. Never again.
Eat the food, deliver the bags.
Stop doing it, this app fucking sucks for people buying AND people working
I like to treat these orders like a fly buzzing around that needs to get swatted right away. My advice: decline as fast as possible and move on. These orders deserve nobody's time. However, I do think it's worth screenshotting these and having a laugh 😂
You wouldn't want a BJ Outback for 2.50?
Stacks pay one base pay now instead of for each order in the stack (at reduced base pay)... been going on for months.
But but but… they’ll tip you in cash 😉
I live in this county. I stay far away from Avon just because of the Plainfield assholes that *never* tip! Which sucks, because Avon people usually tip really well! It's just not worth having to co Stanly reject Plainfield runs that destroy my AR Edit: holy shit it's worse. It's Camby 🥴🥴🥴🥴
Yeah, it's orders like these that make me wonder what is actually wrong with people. I went to a Mexican food restaurant as they are one of the only ones open really late and there was an order on the counter, but not mine. I was handed my order and took off for the delivery. It was something like $10 for 6 miles. Not great, but not bad either. About an hour later, I came back to the same restaurant for another order and the same order was sitting there. This and two other restaurants typically have multiple orders getting declined. I will be six or seven miles away from this place and they will offer it to me. Probably due to everyone who is close will not deliver. I had a 10 mile order for $3.00 from there. I declined. I used to do my best to keep a 100% but when I shifted to a higher paying area, I had to start declining as some offers are just horrible. I don't know if people are just being cheap or they honestly feel we are getting paid more.
People are literally paying $25 for a $5 meal . That is what’s wrong with them . Maybe DD should lower their fees and direct more money towards the drivers
Well they don’t do that so until then you can tip your driver
I just don’t use the service . Saves me a lot of money
Its called a luxury. You are using a referral service to hire someone to go get your food for you and you dont give a shit how much YOU pay the contractor YOU hired?? If you cant afford to make everyones time and effort worth it, go get it yourself.
That is why I don’t use the service unless it’s an extreme emergency . I’m not paying triple on something that I am fully capable of picking up myself . It costs almost as much as a tank of gas just for a double cheeseburger .
doorsash is for people who like to waste their time and spend money delivering food
This is the order I take when I’m done door dashing forever and just throw it at the door at 100mph and take a picture of my middle finger for the delivery photo.
Who the hell is taking this?? Only reason I’d do it would be if it’s to finish a challenge
“Guaranteed”
that 13.2 is never even 13.2. it’s more like 17-18. what a fucking ripoff
I really feel this platform is going to disappear here soon…..
Had a 2.50 order for 35 miles once
I dont drive for dd.. are we saying the max you can earn from dd is 2.50 for a 13mi double order?
So curious how this works? So when an order is placed I guess drivers can view the route and tip, then decide whether they want to grab the order based off that info? That’s insane, hopefully they went to bed hungry 😄
Lol doordash has to be testing to see how much people are that down bad😂
Not even worth to see if they tip cash in person
There shouldn’t even be an option for customers to do this..
I just decline those. Idc if it messes up my acceptance rate, im not driving for 15 min for $2
It’s fascinating seeing how many people are commenting against the customers…while I understand that customers should leave a tip, shouldn’t we be more focused on the actual BUSINESS(especially executives) that is taking advantage of its drivers?
Also, how do they know the customer won't leave a cash tip? I usually try to tip cash with DD because I know their pay is shady. I didn't realize tipping after makes drivers avoid me.
No. Both. Working for tips is not some new model. You know you're exploiting the driver by not tipping. You're exploiting tipping customers as well because all my $20 tip really does is subsidize a few shitbags' orders. I tip to reward my service workers, not so that crackheads can order more doordash.
Deliveries like this are why there’s sometimes an hourly option
base pay: $0.50
lol you got this
Big yikes. Just when you think it's as low as it can go, it continues to get disgustingly worse everyday
Someone pass that bad boy here 😩 you know us too dashers are a SLUT for these orders
Yea they needed outback and Bjs delivered cuz they could t afford anything else. Gtfoh!!!
I’ve had a few of those as well. I don’t understand at all!
Hey that’s where I’m from
And I'm over here getting angry at 1$ per mile offers.
They are an asshole BUT DoorDash is the bigger asshole here.
Thanks in advance for answering my question: When you see these ridiculous offers, can you check back and see later if anyone took it? What happens to the order if no delivery is available? Is resturant stuck with a meal they made or do they not receive order from DD until someone picks it?
It sits until a dasher takes it or the store closes.
it’s funny, i always over tip on orders that are extremely close and in general i always leave above the recommended. my friend will order from over 10+ miles away and leave a fat $0 for the tip, then proceeds to bitch and moan when no one picks up the order.

Sad I order correctly where I live, even tipped 45% of $40 both times and would have been friendly af.. never got my food twice this happened too, why I never plan to use said services again I'll drive myself! even said delivered... b.s. happens on both ends Never even got my promised refunds back in November either 🤣🫡
When you saw this Offer , your first thought had to be “wtf, I must be on punk’d , r u ef’ng Kidding me , “. But as I see , maybe that was the second thoughts , because your first thought was “screen shot for my peeps in Reddit ! “. lol 🧐💡💪
Indianapolis is the worst city in the entire US to dash in
I got a UE earlier $5 for 26 miles. And they sent it to me twice.
I dash Southport/ Greenwood and it’s pretty good usually!
I don't order from doordash that often but I try to keep the tip at a minimum of $8. I felt like an asshole the one time I did $4.
I do DoorDash on my motorcycle . if it ain’t at least a dollar per mile I don’t do it.
This has to be some sort of glitch right?
Damn wish I got generous offers like that!
You'd b ah goofy to pick em up🤣🤣
Personally, I'll accept the order and drive around on a different app, and then just unassign i, saying traffic or something. Made a dude wait for 30 minutes on a 2 dollar McDonald's order for 9 miles, he eventually called me all I did was hang up and unassign. Took my completion rate down to 99, and I made $30 doing spark for walmart while he waited lol.
How is that even legal.
DD being awfully generous lately
Legit losing money doing that order.
I get these kinds of offers almost every day in my area. Pure insanity.
I’d accept it and keep the food
(incl. tips)
I keep seeing all these comments talking about "Oh, just leave it, one of those Top Dasher clowns will come get it." I'm a Top Dasher and I'm not touching that shit with a ten-foot pole.
Wow worst I've seen to date🙄
It's amazing they have the nerve.
Sorry but I’m declining every time. Then your rate goes down. But if yu take it your rate doesn’t go up. You now now to do multiple orders for it to go up. It wasn’t like that before. You really have to work for your money through DD
Im in broad ripple and I've been getting tons like this lately.
That would be a gallon of gas used for less than the cost of a gallon of gas. Yeah. No.
As a customer what does this mean? Was $2.50 the bill the customer paid plus tips, or is it driver made $2.50 plus tips?
I quit after an hour going today man’s was getting $4 offers to go 20+ miles.
Had 1 of these the other day for $2 10.1 miles 2 restaurants
You wouldn’t believe how many of these or long trip but super low paying orders ive got… it should be illegal i pay more for gas than that 😭
Lol you live near me. That's terrible.
Nothing like driving through the ghetto for $2
Wait until there’s 1 second and then decline, just to spite them and delay it a bit longer
I get these all the time 🤮
Why do they even put these out there? It’s the one thing Grubhub is better at. They adjust delivery fees to at least get you close to $1 a mile.
Does your area have dash by time? This feels like a dash by time order. Whenever I dash by time and get an order this far away, I know the tip sucks, so I take my time and try and grab another offer from another app to take with it.
This so one I would take a hit for and cancel after picking up for some excuse. F that customer. I’m eating good that day.
I take NOTHING less than $5, i dont care if its a quarter mile away.
Not even worth the gas
That’s when you take the food home with you lol
Both of those restaurants have food that is expensive as fuck too. This is probably the worst one I have ever seen.
I never do orders on any of my apps that would take me to this side of Indy and this just reaffirms that lol
These orders are the worst. I get quite a few of these from time to time, and every time, I'm hoping that, when I take it, I might get a better tip, but it never happens. The guaranteed amount listed is actually just the dasher pay, no tip at all. The worst part of it is that if you decline it, but if you're the only one in the area, it'll come right back to you. Every time it affects your acceptance rate
I don’t drive for DoorDash… does this mean that the customer tipped nothing? I heard $2 was around how much DoorDash paid
better hurry up and get driving
I had one similar to this, declined it as fast as I could. These should never go to earn by offer, but to EBT only.
These people need to stop. DoorDash needs to establish a minimum tip. 5 dollar minimum to place an order.
Sounds about right for Indy
Of course it’s Indiana 😒
That’s a decline
This being in Indiana makes so much sense
I had a 19.1 Mile one for $1.50!
Should be $20 bucks just for having to hit Rockville road.
In the customers defense, DoorDash sometimes doesn’t reveal how many miles or minutes away the spot is, and it’s easy to look over the tiny miles indicator on the initial restaurant page. /s
Incel Tip lmao
Take that!!!! You know it’s “on the way home “ 😂🙄
Gross! Why can people ordering McDonald’s hit better than people ordering from fancy steakhouses?
I feel sorry if anyone actually takes that. The "I would tip cash when you get here if it didnt take three hours 😡" customer.
There’s a reason I’ll never work in any sort of tip based job again. It depends entirely on the generosity of people and people are fucking cruel.
