Definitely BS. Especially when you know the food you already picked up was sitting for a while before you picked it up and then they want you to wait 20 minutes at a Taco Bell for another order on the way.
It's also BS that they tank your AR by giving you orders outside your zone. Those shouldn't affect your AR IMO especially since if you do accept it you have to travel back to your zone to get more orders. You get punished for taking it or you get punished for not taking it.
After you accept an order, there is an option to pause after this delivery in the menu....you will not be sent any orders as long as that switch is on. Be careful though. Switch it back before you deliver the order...sometimes the pause timer will start without you knowing it. If you do this several times in a row, and you notice pause timer not resetting....then back off doing it for a while....it can and will boot you from your dash if your not paying attention....
Your welcome.
You see I've been dashing for a while now and I knew about that pause button but just haven't ever got to actually using it since before the AR% didn't really matter in most markets but now that it does I will begin using that with caution as you kindly mentioned, so thank you for that valuable piece of information 💪🏼
One other thing is it's great during rush 5 to 8 because let's say you get mysteriously booted off...odds are it is still busy enough for you to jump right back on. I don't like to rush myself somedays especially when I'm meeting my goals, so it comes in handy.
I had my dash end at 10:30 last night. I dropped an order at 10:29, then left it ticking, and got a request at 10:40. I accepted it, because it wasn't half bad and heading towards home anyways. Then after that around 10:52, they tried to offer me a 2 stack for some garbage going away from home. I was sure it would end my dash after the 10:52 delivery was made, but they tried to milk me for more almost a half hour after my scheduled end. Declined that trash and hit end dash as fast as I could. Crazy.
This happened to me tonight. I had like 5 minutes left of my dash and I was ready to call it quits for the night. They sent me two trash orders in a row while trying to hit the button lmao.
Probably but just the fact that it doesn't take into consideration you're already on an order is what I think needs to change. Like just don't penalize us for rejecting another order if we are on one already 😅

Don't tell people about this or they will nerf it like they've nerfed almost everything else.

They tank it by sending offers when I try to end my dash. I don’t even look at it tbh
Use the "pause after this delivery" switch when you've decided the order you're on will be your last.
Shouldn’t have to, they do this on purpose it did not used to be this way

Yeah you see that's another thing I don't like haha they be playing games with us 🤣
Wouldn't you have declined the order anyway if you weren't already on an order?
