I laughed when a guy came in from Doordash and picked up one can of Formula. I thought crazy someone would do that. But he claimed that he once delivered a candy bar. Anyone know if that possible?

I dashed for a bit during the pandemic and I had this one older lady a couple times just order a big gulp from the 7-Eleven a couple minutes away with a $5 tip. She explained to me she ran a business from home and this was essentially a charitable act because she felt blessed in a situation that sucked for most people. Super nice lady.
Also once had an old man in a rich neighbourhood give me a $20 for a pizza that was about 5 minutes away, he said he has more money than he knows what to do with lol.
Also also, delivered some McDonald's late at night probably 1 am or something. This girl in her 20s was sitting out front hitting a bong and asked if I'd take a toke as a tip lol
It was honestly kinda fun to do on the side when I was bored and wanted to feel like I was being productive
Sounds like a very diverse clientele.
And partly fun. -
DoorDash is of course known for their speed and reliability
Quicker and cheaper than a visit to the hospital.

At Walgreens guy claims that he delivered one candy bar to a customer once. Said he got 4 dollar tip on top of cost or the candy bar. I think that's crazy and got to be exaggerated. I mean who so lazy they order a single candy bar through Doordash?
I've dealt with mental health issues my entire life. Crippling depression and anxiety means somedays I physically cannot even get out of bed, let alone leave the house and walk to the shops where there are a bunch of people.
I've used uber eats like this before. I wouldn't consider myself lazy, just somedays I'm not ok and physically cannot face the supermarket. It's not a good feeling to do this, it's not laziness, it's a last resort.
Be thankful you're not in a position like this, and maybe try to see it from another perspective

When I was delivering for Gopuff I had someone tip me $10 for delivering a pack of floss to them at midnight. I think time of day figures into this a lot too, since there aren’t many 24 hour stores anymore.

I could be confusing doordash for a different service, but when you order takeout from a food place they will prompt you at checkout to add various random stuff that the driver could pick you up, like chips, candy bar, various convenience store stuff.

You're remembering correctly, they call it "double dashing" and they don't add additional service fees for the second order.

I ordered a DQ blizzard once. Store is literally walking distance.
But I wanted it and didn't want to go anywhere. And someone might need the money and it'd take em like two minutes so...

Your main food order gets a few minutes colder tho...

Thanks, hope I didn't come off as rude. Just that there are reasons some people might appear to be lazy when in reality they're battling demons

The can of formula may be a mom with a crying baby at home and she can't leave. Ordered only one because maybe she normally doesn't give it or didn't think of ordering more than one because of stress and panic.
The single candy bar could be a person with social anxiety or agoraphobia that was craving one. And it won't order more because this person didn't want to make more hassle than needed. Or a stoner....
Moms of newborns deserve all the help they can get.
Typical scenario is that baby is sleeping and would wake up if she would go buy formula. Then it's time for baby to eat. Mom prepares bottle, puts in the mouth of baby while they're half asleep, and everyone is happy without crying.
As opposed to negotiating with a sleepy hungry baby that you only need a quick run to the grocery, they don't need to cry it only takes a few minutes.

I'm so baked right now I read the title and thought "Formula" was a brand of energy drink. Then I read your comment. Right, baby formula is a thing.
I should to go to sleep, lol.

They sometimes send out a completely different person to do it at no extra cost. Made zero sense.

Regardless of healthcarewrote last edited by [email protected]And more responsible not to drive regardless of your concern for your own well-being. I've heard stories from coworkers who have worked ED of people who didn't want to call an ambulance for their heart attack or stroke symptoms and lost control of the vehicle and plowed their car through the ED waiting area. Also one of the reasons we don't have drunk tanks anymore is cops misdiagnosing things like hypoglycemia. So if you've got the low glucose sweats & jitters it might be worth doordashing a snack.
My advice to people with recurrent chest pain that's confirmed to be anxiety is to call a friend and chat while you do some light housework or go for a walk or whatever. If it gets better with light activity it's anxiety. If it turns out you finally are actually having a heart attack, your friend can call the ambulance.

That's what I was thinking... Plus any physical ailments and you might just want to have the help or even the treat.
I don't know what Formula is but I immediately thought of baby formula and I could easily see someone with a newborn doing that.

I have done extrensive theoretical testing and concluded -without a shadow of doubt- that delivering a candy bar is possible

The people using doordash are the same ones complaining they need more money.
Just another reason for me to think the average person is a complete idiot.

I hope you never complain that you need more money if that's how you waste it.

All the people in here eager to defend how someone wastes their money just reinforces my opinion of the average person these days; most of them are useful idiots.
