  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?

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

        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?

        A friend worked at amazon for a short time, they sent small stuff like 1 chips package.

        I guess some people are very lazy.

        Or don't want to take the car after drinking/smoking, which is a good thing.

          Yeah didn't think of that. That would be a valid reason to use Doordash plus something someone high or drunk would do. Probably regret it when they sober up though.

              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....

                    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.

                      Quicker and cheaper than a visit to the hospital.

                        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...

                                        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

                                          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.
