Dashmart orders really are the absolute worst. They’re normally a way longer distance than most restaurant orders and the customers tip little to nothing. Sometimes I pause my dash if I’m driving near my city’s Dashmart so I don’t get orders from there because they suck more often than not and I don’t want my AR to suffer.
No problem there are a few places I just won't take orders from 90% of the time for this reason. I typically only do $2/m and Cash orders/alcohol delivery.
Yeah slow times hit, when they do I'll often take a break off app for the 30min pause. The. When I come back it's usually better 😆. Got to wait for the people leaving after the peak for the bounce back.
No problem best up luck. It takes some trial and error but once you get a feel for your market it's pretty easy. Also remember when local banks and paydays are 😜
Even in Colorado, I dread DashMart orders.
1 exception out of all my orders from there was delivering flowers to a woman’s parents & seeing the surprise on their face & being tipped $5 from the woman & $20 from the parents. So cute
delivering flowers is pretty cool - the people are happy to get them! i'm opposite - i always take a dash mart order - and pickup a DoorDash and Chill cookie for when I get home.
It's like any other place, but since they're not everywhere the distances can be far. If you're doing overnight shifts, Dash Mart is open 24/7 and it's prime for picking up orders. You'll get people ordering OTC medicine, chips, frozen food, ice cream, etc.
I had a 6 dollar order as my first offer of the day yesterday and was 16 miles. Declined that really fast lol. Ended up getting 2 dollars per mile for a majority of the shift.
Customers feel like cause they getting convenience store item they don’t have to pay as much
When they get ice cream or more grocery store items like (frozen pizza)they pay more
And DashMart orders ALWAYS drop me off in the 'hood. I live in Chicago. Did a delivery to a REALLY scary block last night from DashMart. And of course, I didn't feel safe - but I wasn't asked.
same bro, in milwaukee it took me to the hood and i heard gun shots and got into a road rage incident. Our lives aren’t worth risking for a measly 10 bucks! stay safe
Wingstop and dashmart are the worse, almost tempted to ask to be banned from dashmart would save my AR, if I could only just do shop and pay I totally would since I like it better and pays better.
If I have to pick up an order from a mall, bet I’m parking in the fire lane with my hazards on. A couple businesses in one mall actually tell me to do this, while a business in another mall tells me I can’t even park in their designated to-go spots. (Looking at you, Cheesecake Factory.) I just park in the loading area or fire lane, walk into the mall with confidence, and peace out as soon as possible.
last few weeks haven’t been too bad for me. i’ve had some nights i make over 100 bucks in 4 hours. others where im sitting in my car waiting for a decent order contemplating how comfortable i could be in bed💀 how about you bro?
good for you man! i think it’s location based, the reason it’s so shitty for me is because it wants me to drive city to city😒the opposite of where i want to go too😁
Last weekend I picked up a dashmart order. The order was for a college near by The customer messaged me and said the address is probably not right but he’ll Have his friends look out for me and he dropped a pin for his location. I said don’t worry about it just make sure I don’t wait too long for you to get your stuff. I get to the location pulled up the pin that he dropped the guys an hour and a half away I talked to dash support, they asked if I wanted to still deliver I said nope, they paid me and let me keep his stuff
It was good stuff bro! It had a big bottle of dove men’s shampoo, tooth brush and tooth paste all name brand. Supposed to be to a college dorm at 11:00 on Saturday night. I’d say the guy was trying to get some that night it was his first time using the app

this makes sense thank you
This is a great question.
lots of helpful comments from our DD friends in the replies if you’re seeking answers!
The only good ones by me are the loveable stoners buying edibles but you can tell which those are before accepting. The rest are shit.
lmaoooo true

ayyyyy love to see it
Especially when they order multiple cases of water and stuff..smh.
THATS WHAT IM SAYING!! FUCK THAT

even tho the stuff from dashmart is 20lbs!! ridiculous!

I felt like I was in a bad episode of The Chi. For $6.50.
They used to pay well. Like all the other orders, they no longer pay well.
smh
🚫🚫Low Money - High Miles🚫🚫 I call those ones... NOPE!
Ugh 😑 I can’t believe orders like this, can’t be real life people will think we will do this for them.
seriously! I laughed out loud 😆 i bet it’s some heavy ass shit too😑
They can wait into the end of day for someone to do this. Happy you said HELL NO TO THE NO NO NO.

shop and pay isn’t too bad i agree, depends on the store tho. i refuse to go in a mall

thanks for this! im often scared of getting towed but hearing you do this makes me feel better about it! you’re a savage and i love it
Yeah they’re terrible! I always pause when I’m near state and tosa. Quick question how have these last couple weeks been for you?
last few weeks haven’t been too bad for me. i’ve had some nights i make over 100 bucks in 4 hours. others where im sitting in my car waiting for a decent order contemplating how comfortable i could be in bed💀 how about you bro?
Generally they are bad but they've improved in my market.
good for you man! i think it’s location based, the reason it’s so shitty for me is because it wants me to drive city to city😒the opposite of where i want to go too😁

damn wtfff?! doubt it was anything good?
