    I get more tips on Uber Eats by messaging the person this statement: "Due to Covid, pease leave any cash tip under the doormat."
    This person was probably not gonna leave a tip. But now seeing that a tip is an important "expectation" for great service, they will do one or two things: 1) message you back saying THANKS and they leave a tip, or 2) messaging you back that they will tip thru the app.
    Either way, it gets the person thinking of leaving a tip. Works for me all the time!

      @@Amen.ahmed1 that's why I said "more tips" and not "every tip". Some people aren't gonna tip, either due to being cheap on service or either due to not realizing they can/should tip. I get a lot of people that say, "...my first time using Lyft/Uber...", so for them to not leave a tip could be out of not realizing HOW to tip, or even that they should tip a rideshare driver.

Might seem strange to some people, but I’ve noticed there were certain towns I stay away from because the likelihood of getting chips for food deliveries is not that great at all.😊

    So....... tonight, a Door Dasher and I were both dropping off to the same leasing office at an apt. The Dasher took off and the guy picking up the Dasher's food thanked me. I said "oh- that was another Dasher- he just left." He said, "oh shoot- he took off already? I was going to give him this" ($5)
    So now I'm wondering how often that's happened to me! I know, I know... Probably not often but still! Guess we definitely shouldn't just, well, dash off!

    I work my area early AM times. This morning I had an issue with restaurant was not able to fulfill the order, vegan donuts, so I called support they cancelled the order. But I am not able to get miscellaneous pay it has been suspended. Why because I have a lot of the restaurant that is supposed to be 24 hrs have been closed lately and it's been erratic you never know who is open and who is not. And because the phone doesn't get answered when support calls restaurant. Yes I called ahead on restaurants no answer. 🤔

    • @TheSideHustlersSociety
      @TheSideHustlersSociety 3 роки тому +9

      Sure. There are areas in your market that will give you the highest chance of getting a ping based on where you're at. Just start paying attention to where you are when you get orders. After a little while, you'll start to notice that you get more orders when you drive down a certain street or when you're parked at a certain place. The way you can find out this info is to leave your app on as you're driving. Keep in mind you don't have to accept the orders that come in as you do this. This is so you can start to notice the patterns. Of course if you see something good, why not take it lol. From this, you can eventually make hotspots from this information.
