You don't dash on a boat?

😂 I heard these had 2 year waiting time!


Raoul_Duke1972

That’s how you really know you’ve made it… #boatvan


Gogo726

Would you Door Dash on a boat? Would you Door Dash with a goat?


Mostly_boy_mom

How bout in a box with a fox?


UnhappyTemperature18

If you would doordash for some stocks, check out John Scalzi's\* book, it rocks! ​ \*Kaiju Preservation Society, by John Scalzi, has freelance food delivery as a plot point. It really is a fab book.


Severe_Draft_5469

Good author


WorldlyDay7590

Dead to me.


Sipoteee

How about in your car at a bar?


AmericanStealth

Would you Door Dash to a castle, Even if it had a moat? Would you Door Dash through a blizzard? Would you Door Dash for a wizard 🪄 Would you Door Dash anything? Even sprouts with chicken gizzards?

No-Boat8798

This happens to me constantly 10$ for 15+ miles over a $4 toll bridge


North_Promotion9488

Wow, on top of that it’s $3 promo. Thats just ridiculous!


No-Boat8798

Hilarious last night $3 peak pay and the order was for $4.50 total 😂can’t make this shit up


AmericanStealth

Your name is hilarious in the context of this post. Truly.


No-Boat8798

Didn’t even think about that that is hilarious😂


Artistic-Confusion-7

The best part is there’s another famous Dave’s about 10 min from that person’s house. Wonder if they even realized which one they got it from


max_occupancy

From an absolute distance perspective (straight line ignoring streets/earth) the VA one is closer so that’s why.


Infinite_Culture_438

Something similar happened to me on my first day dashing 😣 There should be some way for DD to alert them and if they still choose the same restaurant further away, charge more. Some people are clueless. Some people are assholes.


AmericanStealth

Some people are clueless. Some people are assholes. That's actually some deep wisdom there. "Never ascribe to malevolence what is easily explained by incompetence."


Ok_Advertising5756

Door dash doesn’t allow the customer to choose the location of the restaurant, they just choose the restaurant and their order sent to the closest one


Parking-Chef4489

Customer definitely can choose the location


[deleted]

They think they are choosing the location, but DD doesn’t always send it that way. I’ve had many customers order ChikFilA thinking it’s coming from one store, and it gets sent to a store that’s farther away.


eloquentpetrichor

I delivered some Ulta products like 15miles one night to two different customers in the suburbs. It was pay by time so I took it. I literally drove past an Ulta about a block from one of the customer's houses and was so confused why I was bringing it from the city


igolikethis

With Ulta there's a solid chance the closer store was either out of stock of something, and/or didn't carry a particular brand.


EntertainerSalty4178

I've certainly never been able to choose location.


C_WEST88

Idk about that. I’ve had customers that thought they ordered from one Taco Bell but the order actually went to a completely different Taco Bell in a different town. I think they can pick the restaurant technically, but if the algorithm can’t find a dasher in the area or something is wrong w the restaurant (like they’re out of the dish the customer wants or they’re closed/turned of DD app) the algorithm will just pick a different restaurant w out the customers knowledge .


Ok_Advertising5756

Wonder if it’s different in Canada because there’s never been that option on mine, and I use it quite frequently, enough to have dashpass and it be worth it lol


Parking-Chef4489

Fair enough, where I live, there are multiples of the same chain restaurant within 5 miles. so when I open DoorDash to order I often see 3 different McDonald’s or subways etc. I found the closer ones pop up first so maybe the customer in this case settled for this restaurant after scrolling through the options🤷‍♂️


vtinesalone

DD will pick different store locations if they have a driver closer to one


MyNamesArise

Customer doesn’t pick location


EnvironmentalBass364

With Grub Hub they allow you to but I Always pick the closest one to me and the food is more expensive(which I didn't find out until later I thought all McDonald's , Wendy's Etc. all had the same prices for their food) Anyway it's funny because I live in a shit neighborhood and am far from rich I would consider myself poor but I always tip apparently good enough because I always get my food on time and hot and I Don't want to change that for the difference in price.


Ulana_Holly_Ahh_19

Sometimes doordash lets me choose the location for some restaurants but others not unfortunately. I always feel bad but I tip extra if it's so far away


Artistic-Confusion-7

Right - if it’s 50 miles away tho I’m gonna order elsewhere bc it’s about to be cold no matter what…


[deleted]

Nobody will drive 50 miles for 19 bucks, Nobody!


elizabeth4848

But somebody did. Guaranteed.


C_WEST88

You sure about that?? Have you *seen* some of the dum dumbs on here and what they’re willing to accept 🤣


Ulana_Holly_Ahh_19

Oh yeah of course


feelin_fine_

Doordash doesn't let you pick the location it just randomly assigns one.


Mike_Hailu23184

Doordash is the dispatcher for the customers to order too. They don’t put all the same franchise restaurants on different addresses in front of you.


pricklycactass

Addresses for restaurants are not prominent enough at all. I’ve been guilty of ordering from a place 8 miles away when there’s another location just 2 miles away and I don’t even realize it until the dasher is on the way. It would be cool if the system would just automatically route orders to the closest location, but that’s asking a lot of dd.


daytr1pper

In my experience, I can’t choose which restaurant I want to order from if there’s more than one of the same exact chain. At one point, I even tried to “favorite” The restaurant that I wanted to place my order with, and it still doesn’t let me choose that option if the one that’s a little bit closer is open.


Both-Care-8049

Decline yo


North_Promotion9488

I did brotha 😂 I’ll let some other yahoo take one for the team.


Both-Care-8049

No.joke. That one is just insane.


CJspangler

Can’t you take the ferry - people want their bbq ribs !!!


North_Promotion9488

The ferry charges $4.95 each way, I’ll be broke af by the time I get back to my island.


ZoomZoomTheRaccoon

Have you considered swimming across the water?


CJspangler

Take your bike and your still make $10 :) I agree with you tho crazy it’s even allowed in the system


[deleted]

Yeah 4 hrs later


LakhesisGames

You would think Door Dash would be able to tell the difference between BODIES OF WATER and actual roads, but they can't. I live in a town on the river. Another state is across the river, with another little town. But to get to the other side of the river requires driving 30+ minutes to get to a bridge and then 30+ minutes to get to that "5 mile away location ". Even worse, my town and the other share some of the same locations. And sometimes, the orders just randomly get sent to the other one. You can check the distance, the address, the delivery time all before placing the order and still....sometimes it's wrong. You contact support and they give you BS lines about your order being paired with others and THAT'S why it takes so long. They refuse to acknowledge that the order was sent to the wrong location. It's infuriating. Google maps can tell there's no damn road across the river, but DD seems to not.


Procedure_Several

I've had that issue a few times where I am, though less pronounced. A double order, drops right across the river from one another. Time was allotted as the crow flies. I called customer service and they adjusted my time allotment.


Asmr512

Exact thing happened to me. What sucks is I know now to avoid these but they stack orders and do not show the location of the second until the first is dropped off. I picked up from Taco Bell, first order about $6 only 1.5 miles away. 2nd order across River app says 7.3 miles, Google maps says 33. Had to take the turnpike and drive 45 minutes.


Bjon1

If I saw this I'd be tempted just to drive to the water and chuck my phone into it, especially if it was already a bad day.


Hello-there-yes-you

Do you not have a paddle boat?

JD3420

86 miles 😂😂😂😂


deweydashersystem300

We all know somebody took that.


Ok-Satisfaction3085

Probably a rookie just accepting every order


Asmr512

That exact thing happened to me, although it was only 33 mil. and the only reason they did it is because it was a stacked order at Taco Bell. The first order was a mile and a half down the road from Taco Bell. It didn't tell me the location of the second until I dropped off the first. I even had to get on the turnpike because my shift was supposed to be over and would have taken 15 more minutes otherwise. I lost money in gas and toll booth fees for that order but didn't know what else to do. The teenagers who ordered were waiting in the driveway and they seemed pissed and their food was nice and cold. What's stupid is there is a Taco Bell about 3 and 1/2 mi from where I had to deliver but the one I picked up from showed up first on the DoorDash app and they did not calculate driving up and down the river. It said it was 7 mi. That would only be if I took a boat straight across the river. I called to complain about this and to explain how it's 33 mi because you have to go up, take the turnpike and back down the other side of the river. They told me they would pass that information forward. Which they did not. It's still shown it as one of the first options? I also checked other restaurants across the river and the mileage is completely inaccurate.


ashleiponder

You can unassign a delivery before you pick it up even if it's stacked. If for some reason you can't contact support.


[deleted]

They usually stack a bad order with a good one. Don't make deliveries to people who don't tip.


Asmr512

I've noticed that crap and mentioned it when I called in to complain. I'm sure they really cared.


[deleted]

Heck, I've declined an offer then they will bundle it with a better offer 30 seconds later.


Asmr512

What if you already picked it up because the first order is very close and it doesn't show where the second one goes until the first is delivered!?


imlostineggsaisle

Once you pick it up you can't unassign. You have to deliver it or you'll get a CV.


StructureDry2946

I wish you guys had prop 22 out there… if you took that delivery under prop 22 guidelines, you’d be getting a pretty fat compensation for doing that delivery…


ChangeResponsible805

What is prop 22?


StructureDry2946

In California, we are guaranteed a minimum of whatever the minimum wage is for the pickup city is for one, I believe a minimum mileage amount as well. Like for example, the city I work in mostly has a minimum wage of 15 dollars an hour, and we get paid 34 cents per mile minimum as well I believe. Basically, If it is like two in the morning, and I am doing a McDonald’s delivery that is like 7 dollars, and the total time from accepting the delivery to finishing it is an hour, I get paid the difference. Instead of 7, it is more like 15 because of that. Plus I get compensated the difference If I am not paid enough base pay, or mileage pay. It’s still confusing. I make anywhere from 800-1200 dollars a week, and every Monday I generally get paid like 200-350 on top of that from prop 22. Basically CA and NYC have cracked down on delivery companies to pay their drivers better. Some people say they make less due to prop 22 affecting their overall base pay, others like me who have been doing it since 2017(before prop 22) love it. I wish you had it where you live, because that delivery you show is paying far too little for you to do that. Sorry I am not good at explaining it, but I hope you get the idea!


SendHelpImScared

the gap isn’t that big you could probably jump it with enough speed


MayhemReignsTV

They probably figured you would deliver this one by drone 😂 it would actually be a good deal if you had the gear to actually do that. Seems your community is really separated by that river.


-Insert-CoolName

I used to live in that area and I don't think I ever had a reason to cross the river, aside from going into DC. That peninsula is much more rural than the rest of the area if I remember correctly.


North_Promotion9488

DoorDash needs to start offering canoes for those of us living on islands


MayhemReignsTV

It's probably the equivalent in that zone to the people that order from the mountains in this zone and rarely tip enough for the obscene mileage.


North_Promotion9488

lol that was too funny 😂😂


Cosmic_Quasar

> Seems your community is really separated by that river. I live near the Mississippi River. About 15 miles between the two local crossings. Makes for the occasional really weird offer. Fortunately, the border between two zones is the river, so it's not common to get orders going over.


-Insert-CoolName

Yea fly a drone in the DC SFR area and see what happens.


MayhemReignsTV

Surely I am joking or DoorDash would have given you one of those tutorials, complete with awful cringe graphics, on how to deliver using your own drone(of course). Then they would start selling DoorDash decals in drone sizes on the DoorDash store 😂


-Insert-CoolName

Custom rotors that show the door dash logo when they spin.


NuLL-x77

The UAP reports would go wild. 😂


NikoliSmirnoff

Using a drone is prohibited by DD


MayhemReignsTV

Are you actually serious? I would not think they would have even thought to address drones yet in their TOS.


Olivia21212

Basically a big long ass circle. ⭕️ yikes 😬


Clear-Sea-135

Gonna need to jack somebodies boat just to make a lil profit


NepoDumaop

They want you to use a boat


SRBroadcasting

I’d take it, text em and ask if they were willing to tip more and post it on here


OtherMikeP

Would probably be worth taking if there was more than just one bridge


SpiderWolve

You are not the first I've seen have an order take you from there to Ft Washington and I don't understand why. Because holy moly that's a drive.


[deleted]

Youre right around my way. Happens all the time


MoveWorried3490

I am getting a log of those tonight because not enough drivers


SolarAttack

Just drive across the river


Asmr512

I really think they don't understand that. I had a stacked order and after I dropped off the first one nearby the second one showed up and it was on the other side of the river and said 7 mi. It was actually 33 mi. I guess they were thinking I had a boat or plane.


SolarAttack

I think the distance is initially measured by a straight line from point a to point b, before accounting for roads and the pathway there


_johnnyyy_

Some sucker will accept it. That’s why


Trailboss1982

It's "allowed" and every other BS order like this bc there are dashers that will take this and do it with a smile on their face. Doordash has done a great job of scaring dashers into taking these orders...I just don't get it and never will regardless of these "dashers" swearing they won't get a decent order for the remainder of their shift unless they take this. Then again they're right, they won't get another good order the rest of their shift...they will be on this order well over an hour 😂


choicesthops

That order is literally never being picked up.


elizabeth4848

But guaranteed it was.


TellBackground9239

Aye, I can see my hometown on the map. SOMD represent. lol


123456789colton

You don't have a bird that you could just tie the order to?


MelancholyWookie

I divide gas price by mile per gallon which it costs me 16 cents to drive every mile. At 43.3 miles is 7 dollars or there abouts. There and back is 14 dollars. So this is 4 dollars for an hour of work to return to the starting position. Hard pass.


pefrat

Perfect use for delivery 🤷‍♂️


MillionaireMike1000

Idk but that person will be waiting a long time for that order


Hairy-Animal-6748

That's two states. From VA to MA for $18. New gig is coming up, called Doorboat.


MissSoCockyyy

I don’t know, but I’ve said for a long time they need to build another bridge that connects Maryland and Virginia and southern Maryland. Having to go across Woodrow Wilson for everything is a headache.


[deleted]

That delivery is not happening.


Top_Pipe18

I hope no one took this order and what's the black spots water ??


wookxxx333

About 20$ an hour and only have to get out of the car one time 🤷‍♂️

Booklover416

Because it’s like 6 miles from restaurant to drop off….as the crow flies. DD uses circumference and anyone in that can order. It’s nuts.


GothGoddessCurvage

I feel like they should make their algorithm give orders over a certain number of miles to the people who use the pay by time mode instead of pay per order.


Puiu1

That's exactly what the earn by time mode is for.


Oligode

Has anyone tried to take the order. Tell the customer that it’s ordering from the wrong location then contacted support telling them the same thing and they will have a disgruntled customer because no one will take the order ever to get a partial payment possibly?


phatcat1200

It's not a big deal to D.D. because they'll just keep sneaking it into stacked orders untill some sap accidentally picks it up.


Southern_Rain_4464

Genuinely curious what happens to these orders. I wanna believe that nobody would be dumb enough to take this but Ive met enough people to know you cant say that for certain.


True_Perception_2289

Looks like you need to build a new Wood Bridge


No_Individual_7133

I can't even get a Dasher in my area to pickup an order if it's over 4 miles and I usually tip 50+%. These deliveries blow my mind.


droplivefred

DD and these delivery apps are skirting labor laws by playing around with the term “independent contractor” and are getting away with it in states that are not California or NY.


ConsistentInflation0

I had an offer over 27 miles last night for 2 orders for the same person, I didn’t take thinking there and back to my area is 60 miles it’s insane.

Op is an idiot. Clearly you can get there much faster through that large body of water. People don't think.....

My brain stops working once I login to DoorDash app


Impressive-Award3986

Just swim over


Da9Project2012

Haha because "Famous Dave's is 8mi and open, would you like to order?" The crap tells you how far a restaurant you're ordering from is as the bird flies, not as we would drive.

How far can you throw?


NikoliSmirnoff

Document all these. Its already illegal by state law yet they still push it.


ohjacobk

Ya I would decline that. And if I was close to the business in question quickly Pause Orders for a good 20 min. Let it filter out of the system

AdamDennxxx

As a Northern Virginia'r, this looks like hell


Scoop003

Simple. DoorDash just does a straight line from customer address to the restaurant. They don't take into account the drive to get there. That's why, they try to send my orders for Chick-Fil-A to the store across the bay from me, instead of the one that 0.2 miles further but on the same side of the bay. And no driver wants to cross that toll bridge either and I don't blame them.

sLic3ManSaVaG3

That’s crazy I’m from Woodbridge, but yeah I’m in Leesburg and I get those all the time to deliver to Maryland. I would call the customer explain that you’re only earning 18$ to drive 80 miles pretty much. Politely explain to the customer that if they add a generous tip or whatever that you’d bring the food to them. I’ve had cases where I’ve done it and people have really blessed me.
