​
PLEASE BE AWARE - Dashers are paid absolutely nothing for our time. We are paid to pick up and drop off only. Even on the Shop & Deliver portion, no consideration is given by DD HQ for any additional time required to have to wait while a store clerk goes in back to see if an item is available or conversations back and forth with the customer while a substitution is agreed upon. This is why I don't do any shopping for DoorDash. There are always delays.
​
Below is the list of merchants who are currently experiencing long wait times and/or under-staffing. Please take this into consideration when tipping. Thurs-Sun wait times have been anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. If you use the DoorDash App, I just don't accept orders from merchants on this list anymore during lunch & dinner rush. The wait times are just too long. Your order may be declined by other dashers too simply because it's coming from one of the places listed below. You might want to have an alternate merchant ready just in case or you can use me independently and pay the additional $5 fee for wait time. I can't wait for free.

It's only because of your generous tips that we dashers are able to survive!
NOTE: When everything runs smoothly (ie; order is ready when I arrive for pickup, traffic is optimal, no long lines, not making multiple deliveries, no app crashes, etc), I am NEVER LATE! There are a lot of contributing factors when it comes to on time deliveries.
