A word from your local GrubHub/DoorDash/PostMates driver

I’m a Grubhub driver here, here’s a few things that will make both you the customer happier and me the driver happier 1. DO NOT ORDER DRINKS

Listen, if there is one thing we Grubhub/Postmates/DoorDash drivers hate the most its getting drink orders.It’s one more thing to juggle and this one is decidedly more fragile than the meal; they can spill (In a recent experience I had to deliver four sodas from KFC in the middle of a rainstorm, and the drink holder disintegrated) Trying balance 5 drink orders in a car with only two cupholders is not making any of our lives easier. Now if it’s like, a smoothie place where the whole POINT is the drinks; I get that. But if you can avoid it, please for the love of god don’t order drinks. Just drink something at home. Without drinks to balance we can get the food to you quicker.

2. Want your food faster? Tip us on the app

Don’t get me wrong; we LOVE cash tips! The thing is though that GH base pay is kinda shit. When you tip us on the app it adds to the total GH pay and that’s the total we see when the offer comes through on our end Example: You wanna order in some Taco Bell. You’re planning to pay us say a six dollar tip in cash. That’s awesome! But when we get the offer on our end it looks like “Make 4 dollars to deliver this persons tacos”; and a lot of GH drivers ignore very low paying offers; we’re paying for gas, we need to at least break even. Even though we drivers work for a big company we’re basically independent contractors and we can choose to not take an offer that comes out way... our companies love to punish us for being picky, but we have the right to refuse

Now, play this same scenario again but this time you tip us on the app, and to us that looks like “Make 10 dollars to deliver this persons tacos” Now THATS more like it! Your offer will be picked up extremely fast and therefore you get your food quicker! Side note: If you ARE going to tip us in cash, please specify this and let us know ahead of time in the notes section, like, where you would put instructions for the driver coming up to your place

3. Double Check the address of the place you’re ordering from

I work in an area that’s spread across four towns (Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, Port Orange, and New Smyrna Beach specifically) and I can’t tell you how many times someone will order something unassuming like KFC but they’ll accidentally order it from a restaurant TWO TOWNS OVER when there’s already one in their town Sure, I may get paid more for the distance; but there’s kind of a point where you have to ask if it’s worth it or not. It’s more wear and tear on my car and it’s more time for you the customer has to wait to receive your food Make sure the place you’re ordering from is the correct address to save you money and time, and save us trouble

4. KEEP YOUR PHONE HANDY AND BE AVAILABLE

Sometimes we the driver need to reach you (Gate we can’t get past, apartment building we can’t find, 30-50 feral hogs have surrounded our car...) and if we can’t get ahold of you that’s more problems for both of us. If you don’t answer the door and you’re unreachable after multiple attempts, we’re stuck holding the bag. We gotta call up our driver support system, and if THEY can’t get ahold of you themselves, then they tell us “Screw it, keep the food, go to your next delivery”

NEITHER of us wants that: You don’t get your food, and we’re stuck with extra shit in our car while we have to go deliver more food. The idea of free food is killer for sure, but it’s one more thing we have to deal with/dispose of, and calling up the driver support system is a hassle in and of itself, ask ANY driver. Like, sure, I may have gotten free food from someone elses neglect; but what am I going to do with a family-sized KFC meal that there’s no way I can possibly eat on my own, and there’s no one homeless around to give it too? I can’t just throw out perfectly good food and you see what I mean? Be available and have your phone nearby! Your dinner may depend on it

Keep all of this in mind when ordering your meal and things will be much smoother for you, I promise

There are no delivery apps active in my town. No Grubhub or Post Mates... I tried three others as well. And it sucks because I could really go for some Taco Bell right now and I can’t move.

the worst part of quarantining is having to get food delivered to you. Absolutely love having to use postmates and paying 50 bucks for a 10 buck meal.

#covid #quarantine #post mates #Admittedly a good chunk of that is a generous tip #because delivery workers get fucked over bad and I feel guilty ordering delivery #but even with a reasonable tip its still like 45 bucks for a 10 buck meal

I didn't edit out names as this was already public information so I'm sorry.

This post is about the company postmates.

Ok, I usually only post stuff having to do with anime, but this just happened to me recently and I think it's time to really start spreading the word about how shitty this company really is. While I am aware that people have never had a problem with them, soo many others have, including myself. This company refuses to acknowledge their mistakes and they steal from their customers, I have tried up and down to contact them having only been denied my refund as well as them pretty much making me out to be a liar... Yes I have an email they wrote saying that the driver did speak to me (which she did) and I confirmed that the food was delivered (it was not) they chose to believe her instead of a customer who was giving them business. Now... I am not saying that all the drivers are bad, no no nooo! I just do not understand why she, or the company needed to lie about it instead of giving me back my money which was over 30.00+ this is legit THEFT. Please help spread awareness of this because we work way too damn hard in this already shitty economy with a pandemic going on for something this stupid to happen.

Episode 8 of Daybreak is masterful storytelling.

It completely upended what we knew of the goal of the main protagonist, but in a completely logical way that made earlier incongruent bits make sense. The whole bit about Josh not being with / going to break up with Sam when the bombs hit didn’t make sense...why would he do that? Is he an idiot? Turns out, yes, he was an idiot, although that was exacerbated by the death of his father. And it added depth to a character previously only seen through the eyes of a besotted teenager. The show has been doing that with characters throughout the series, trying to explain the motives of truly malignant people, but in this case it showed the motives behind a benignant person.

Some further thoughts:

Until this episode I was struck by the fact that in the whole show, the only two people who were not near-psychotic arseholes were the two who aren’t American. That’s some much-needed introspection.

They better not try to redeem Turbo or Burr.

Isn’t it great that “benignant” is a word? Malign --> malignant, benign --> benignant. I really think we need to bring this word, and what it represents, back.
