The McDonald's by me has a sign that tells you to ring the bell if the lobby is closed. Then they bring it to you and avoid waiting in a long drive through line
26:42 the home screen acceptance number on the top I find slower to update than if you go to the “ratings” button. Some days I have to end that dash and the next one it updates.
17:05, Very true... I have learned overtime doing DD fulltime to not take alcohol orders under 10 dollars. Even if its 1 mile... I have met rotten customers with alcohol deliveries.. I only deliver to good neighborhoods delivering alcohol.
2:38 LOL,,, yeah my AR was at 15% last winter, I rode the edge of a zone not far away. I found a way to where section 8 buildings couldnt reach my phone. was pulling 240 a shift on DD mostly with a little GH and UE included. My ar climbed upto 68%. After a month it seemed as if the algorthm caught on to what I was doing and shot me down..
Status doesn’t matter late at night because there’s few drivers. Therefore, it is unlikely to be a higher status driver in proximity to the restaurant to have the good order dealt to
Alott of gig workers have went to using the Spark platform. Thinking ther making more money. But ther really not . People seem to order out when the weather is cold or rainy
Same here, 2 years and 2k deliveries, and have never seen a comment from a customer. Only thumbs up (thankfully but am not sure it counts for anything).
27:20 Sorry, had to comment. We got a bunch of weird walmart people sitting on lawn chairs at the spark pick up. I seen black people with them too, not sure if theres white people with em either. I think I heard the black people speak english and were parked next to me at a pick up spot. I think they can be in groups of 10 at a time at some walmarts. Sometimes groups of 3 that dont speak english and maybe only 2 out of the 3 had cars... I think whats going on is that they are rejecting all orders together to make the pay go up and up and up and up. Just a guess. If so, how would they decide who takes what??? LOL.
No tip customers who don’t turn on their porch light. There’s one level scumbag and then there’s another and they managed to tick off both boxes. If you have an uneven walkway to your door and I trip and fall. Which I have come close to doing a few times. I’m not gonna be happy.

If you have an uneven walkway to your door and I trip and fall. Which I have come close to doing a few times. I’m not gonna be happy. The only reason I try to keep my acceptance rate up is because I’m trying to do this challenge of doing all 50 states and I don’t feel like waiting for a zone to turn pink so I can dash. As soon as I’m finisher with the challenge I’m done with DoorDash
Whenever I've done the project dash orders the drivers have had a separate entrance. I didn't wait in line with the cars that were picking up 1 box for personal consuption. Stinks that they didn't have it set up similarly on yours, or that they didn't put it in the notes if they actually did have it separated for delivery people.
Also LOL on Long Wong's, that particular location is on my probation list too for taking forever to prepare a simple order for wings, that they didn't start until after I arrived to ask for it. I've also noticed that a good portion of the offers there try to suck you into Tempe, which I try to avoid and recall that you avoid also.
@@AaronsGig Haha yes I've been a subscriber for a while now. I drive in your same area, except mostly daytime, and very part time at that. We actually met once briefly at the McD's at Chandler crossroads. I think your content is awesome. Honest with no hidden agenda. Happy to see your channel continue to grow.
Recovering from Hurricane Milton. I havent been able to do DD due to no power, flooding, and biggest is internet connection. Looking forward to getting back on, trying tomorrow. Its impressive your drive, working all those hours
@@AaronsGig almost flooded my apartment. Nightmare but don't know where to move to..all of it lately sucks. Crazy thing is, I can't DD but still dropping numbers. I think DD should freeze all that but oh well..not taking my car in flood zones because you know people will order in them 😂
I would tell you if your platinum you should call DoorDash to tell them why you can’t drive so they don’t penalize you, but they won’t do anything about it
If your 100th ago order was also declined, then you're replacing a declined order with another declined order, so your acceptance rate out of the last 100 orders stays the same. If the 100th ago order was accepted, but now you decline the latest order, your acceptance out of the last 100 orders will drop by one percent. So pretty soon once all of your 100th ago orders are the ones you accepted to get platinum, your acceptance rate will start to crater as your declines replace all of those previous accepted orders.
You are correct..I tracked mine for 2 1/2 months until I knew exactly when a prior accept or decline was going to come around. The thought process was this would give me an edge..boy was I stupid. The algorithm knows how many declines you are going to have coming up and it will make sure to throw you the crappiest orders in their arsenal at you. It's rigged against the driver.. and its bad
I turn my phone upside down and use it as a flashlight on those no porchlight orders. Gives me just enough light in front of my feet so I can see where I am going.
Also that waypoint in the middle of zone if you are returning has something going on with it currently at least in my zone... I live on essentially a spit next to the mouth of Chesapeake bay so I always have played around position wise cuz it's water north of me everywhere all the work is east west or south... in 3 years of cherry picking from home once a year there will be a period that I can't get anything from home or near home at the far extreme of my zone but the closer I get to that DD way point in my zone my phone lights up like a Xmas tree... Might want to give it a try
You got status. It's called "cherry picker status." I schedule whatever morning or evening/night time blocks I can get at midnight everyday,and my A.R. is always around 5% to 20 %. All 3 tier levels are scams and that's good you figured it out.
Start scheduling Aaron, when I go back to my hometown they are now playing that game all day... you can get on but tricky they changed to the time it goes red from 15 and 45 past the hour to 5 and 35 past the hour. We get last option to schedule with no status so you can only do a few days at a time not the whole week. What I do to combat that is every night at midnight I schedule out the new day that was added. Also seemed to be more and better offers when scheduled vs just going online whenever it's red...
Lifetime cherry picker here. You will have good days and bad days regardless of your area. I folded a 7PM last night (Sat) . I had $58 on. Started at noon, But had an excellent day the day before. Go figure..
@@AaronsGig I have about 3 zones I can use to get scheduled when my zone is not lighting up. The dash along the way option changes depending on which area of your zone you are in. The cool thing is that you don’t have to dash in that other area, you just stay in your zone. Works great for slow times.
@@AaronsGig okay right. I know it used to be 80% for a long time . Everything gets harder and worse and less and less pay. I’m literally about to pickup an order for $5 for 7 miles and I’m platinum lol it did make my AR go up from 82% ➡️ 83%
Well the good thing about working graveyard is at midnight you still get to schedule if you are not on silver status.. since you actually work graveyard it should be no problem for you to schedule at midnight if you want..
AR is calculated based on your last 100 deliveries. So if your last 100th delivery was a decline and you accept one, it goes up. If you Decline an offer and your last 100th delivery was an Accept, it goes down. Accept to Accept doesn’t change your AR, same thing with Decline to decline. Stays the same. Hope I explained it right.
One time I was stuck at 61% for a little while , I kept on accepting but it wasn’t going up. I was like how many possible ACCEPTS can I have on the other end that’s not making my AR go up 😒
The McDonald's by me has a sign that tells you to ring the bell if the lobby is closed. Then they bring it to you and avoid waiting in a long drive through line
Wow!!
Keep it up Aaron 💯🎉
Honestly think that if you work graveyard, status means even less than it would normally
Yes. If you're one of the few out there there's few people to send the bad offers to.
I think I means nothing all day, I’m never over 20% AR and I’m still averaging $25/hr no problem.
Tier system is for fools who don't realize the rewards program is a fake program.
I hover right around 15-20% AR. The tiers are pure manipulation. Just schedule at midnight
26:42 the home screen acceptance number on the top I find slower to update than if you go to the “ratings” button. Some days I have to end that dash and the next one it updates.
Good to know thanks.
So glad I learned to trade options and got away from these apps. Don't miss them at all. Market opens in one minute. Got to go to work.
Keep the videos coming I always watch the whole thing while I’m out delivering

I wanted to come try out that area. I dont think I will now 😅
Try out Tempe
11:25 crazy I’ve yet to see a quote from a customer 😂
Same here, 2 years and 2k deliveries, and have never seen a comment from a customer. Only thumbs up (thankfully but am not sure it counts for anything).
@@chrisphillips9377I am just starting NOW to see my thumbs down from customers 😂

The tier status is to benefit the company... Not the drivers

Also be carful not to fall below 90% Completion Rate or you’ll get deactivated. DD changed it from 80% to 90%
I was just under 90 for a few months earlier this year and never did get deactivated. Just kept getting reminders about it, still do at 92% actually.
@@Tyler77573 🤷🏻♀️
Very cool to see how this works.
I'm at 0% seriously...it won't go to negative 1 n so on and so forth😂😂😂😂
I have no status AR stays below 10%, i still get 5 large catering orders a week. I just have to make sure i schedule a week early and im good
Now im the one trying to get reactivated on doordash Aaron 😅

$20 a hour sucks, especially late at night. After gas and expenses, you are barely making minimum wage.
Is there a law that they have to give you a long time to look at the offer in Arizona?
Has it cooled off yet? Such a beautiful area when it’s not 150 degrees lol
Not yet💥
My acceptance rate is currently 38% . And I actually get better order's then when I was at 58%

I am at 49 percent on DD and will continue to cherry pick. Love the long videos
I have been scheduling for 4 years. No matter status. Not worth it. I hover around 20. Dash and spark together. That’s the money.
I’ve heard a rumor they raised the deactivations for any completion rate under 95%, but I know for sure you can’t go lower than 90% so be careful
It says right on the app.

Lmao im dashing with an Ebike and i just started
What's up Aaron? 👋
I would schedule yourself five or six days in advance if you do hit high stats, that way you can keep dashing with low stats
What’s wrong with this order? I knew it was the McDonald’s 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keep it up
Awesome video
And that's assuming that it's still the same
You need a headlamp Aaron.
Well the good thing about working graveyard is at midnight you still get to schedule if you are not on silver status.. since you actually work graveyard it should be no problem for you to schedule at midnight if you want..
I get the same offers at 2% AR** as tier status ...smh
Hang in there
Fun ride along!
Aaron what's cracking
😎💰🏆👍
👌
Great job Chandler hustler
Yep looks like status don't make a difference on the orders you get at that time of day! The dash now is nice but if you can on who cares!
Tested and proven not necessary for me.
$20/hr with your vehicle and costs? So you're not making jack squat delivering for these companies..... maybe $10/hr?
Hey Aaron 🤗
💰💰
AR is calculated based on your last 100 deliveries. So if your last 100th delivery was a decline and you accept one, it goes up. If you Decline an offer and your last 100th delivery was an Accept, it goes down. Accept to Accept doesn’t change your AR, same thing with Decline to decline. Stays the same. Hope I explained it right.
One time I was stuck at 61% for a little while , I kept on accepting but it wasn’t going up. I was like how many possible ACCEPTS can I have on the other end that’s not making my AR go up 😒
Lol
The doordash acceptance rate is one big SCAM when will all of you realize that seriously?
