  3. 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?

    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?

      Some people are really lazy, and the workers of these services are usually so underpaid that it's not even that crazily expensive.

          I choose to believe it was a disabled diabetic person who ordered one candy bar. They needed to quickly regulate blood sugar and couldn't get themselves out of the house alone and in time.

          Paying a few extra dollars would be a small price to pay.

            My sister is a manager at a Dollar General and they get orders all day, everyday for single cheap items like this (soda, candy, chips, etc). While some of it is probably add-ons to other orders, many are not.

              It might not be about laziness. Maybe it was for a pregnant woman with a craving. Or a stoner with the munchies. Or someone lost a bet.

                When I rode for Postmates, I once picked up someone's drycleaning. Another time, it was a sweatshirt left at a friend's place (though for all I know that one was a drug delivery wrapped in a sweatshirt).

                  Its the same with Walgreens. Its always one to two items. Did a curbside for 2 small items and a dasher picked it up not the customer. I don't whete they getting the money? Doordash is expensive as hell. And this a small town.

                    With the tip had to be at least a 10 dollar candy bar, or hell more. Candy bars around here are 3 dollars for a full size.

                        Through DoorDash? No. But that is literally how Postmates works. The delivery person gets the total of the purchase on a prepaid card and then shops and delivers. I've used it ONCE to get a pack of smokes while wasted at a party, but that was years ago when it was just $2 more than going out and getting them myself. No idea what ridiculous fees they have now.

                          It's $10 to not have to go somewhere. Cost of the candy bar is kind of irrelevant.

                              I can absolutely imagine sitting around with mates and deciding to order a delivered candy bar just to see if they would do it.

                                Also a small number of people with so much money that the convenience is worth it.

                                    Well think only reason Walgreens stays open is the amount people who come to load money to their cashapp or chime card. These people all look the same, and I guess don't have bank accounts. Add the amount of mouth breathers wearing Trump hats and for some reason do their grocery shopping exclusively at Walgreens is nuts. I mean we have grocery store that much cheaper across the street.

                                    Also you be surprised how many people still print out 4x6 pictures. We keep running out of the printer paper for them. Got people doing 300 pics at a time. I am like who fuck still does physical pictures like this. And its not all old people.

                                      Nope we haves Reasors grocery store across the street. Several gas stations. I mean we have 3 Quick Trips. Also Walmart is probably a mile down the road.

                                      Edit: forgot to mention we have 5 Dollars General in town then add in the Dollar Tree we have plenty of food places.

                                        Ok so you have $6-7 in your wallet. You have to pay door dash. Although I don't know why they wouldn't use DG.

                                          With the tip had to be at least a 10 dollar candy bar, or hell more. Candy bars around here are 3 dollars for a full size.

                                          Shrug. Some people just don't care about money like that. Some are even just that rich.

                                          Either way, being out of baby formula is kind of a big deal, so it makes sense to pay extra to get it as soon as possible.
