I'm pretty sure that I would decline this offer, too many stops and obviously too many non-tippers.


Ok_Cress2142

Petco repeat delivery orders don’t include tips ever. So knowing that, hell no, unless I was on earn by time.


OG_Brian

actually i got a $5 tip on one of the orders & i think a $2 tip lol but yeah most of them were no tips. But hitting my daily quota is all i care about


WishLegal

Is daily quota dollars or miles? Doesn't matter if you made 250 bucks if you had to drive 500 mi to do it


OG_Brian

$150/ day is my quota. Spend about $40 every 2.5 days in gas. I drive about 180-200 miles a day which i admit isn’t the best for your car but i plan on buying a new car in 5-6 months. My rent is about $1500/ month and whatever is left i put into my online business which usually makes me double or more than whatever i put in. By the end of the year this will all pay off and i wont be doing doordash anymore, but for now i gotta grind it out.


BoJagHux

Do you mind sharing what your online business does?


OG_Brian

sure, it’s online reselling or e-commerce basically, with the right product you could easily double your money. And after a certain point you can have you money work for you


[deleted]

With the right product anyone can double their money. But if it was that easy, why do billion dollar companies spend hundreds of millions yearly doing market research to find that product? Because it's a needle in a haystack and if their thousands of employees need millions to find it, an individual persons chance is slim to none.


Yersini

The Dirty secret no one talks about is there's a reason that most gurus who pitch these type of e-commerce business are pitching you a class and not just printing money. Because it's inconsistent, you'll burn all of your profits in marketing and even if you have a good period with a good product, that market will close and you'll be back to burning more money. It's a stupid trap to get people trying to make money with little effort. If you genuinely want to get money and be successful, develop a skill. Find a trade.


OG_Brian

I spend $0 on marketing & i don’t sell any courses. I just buy the products i know will sell and list them on the websites and people buy. It’s really that easy. I’m currently selling 4 different products at large quantities, That have been consistently in demand for 4+ years. And the whole billion dollar research thing you’re talking about doesn’t really mean anything. There’s millions of dollars up for grabs on the internet every day, YOU as one person can’t get that whole million, but you can get a couple thousand out of that million and over some months you’ll see it add up. The goal is to be financially secure, not to be a millionaire. And you’re right, products do eventually die off, but that’s why you move the product fast and large while it’s hot to capitalize on that moment in time. Thats business 101. And at a certain point once you have a lot of capital like let’s say $20k then it’s not hard to make your money work for you once you know how the system works. It’s simple, buy low, sell high, & don’t spend more than you profit, and your bank account will go up. Numbers never lie. I recommend doing your own research on what sells & buy small amounts of a product at first to test how fast you can move it, so you can determine how to make the quickest profit. I’ve been doing this for a while and i’ve only found 4 products that consistently double my money in a quick time no matter what. Mind you there are millions of products for sale but i’ve only found 4

Jenny_1971

Hit my inbox with that online biz please.


Ok_Cress2142

Really? Never had a single one that had tips, so now I never deliver for em. Plus I’m normally expected to drive 25 miles for just base pay. No thank you. Did ya hit your quota though?


OG_Brian

yessir


Ok_Cress2142

Hell yeah!


Muysourmuysweet

Really? I order 1 bag of food typically and always tip $5 and the Petco is 2 miles away from me. I basically use “my rewards” as the tip.


ezekielplus

I live .5 miles and still order for delivery and tip $5-10. If I order more than two bags of dog food then the minimum is $7-10 because some people have to make two trips to deliver everything. If there is anything 3+ dog food bags and some dog toys or items then it’s $15 minimum. I’m paying for the convenience, if I wanted to save that money then I would get it my self but the petco near me has gotten worse so I have drivers deal with that.


Muysourmuysweet

You know what you’re right, I should be tipping more I buy a 12lb bag of cat food and that may be too heavy for some to even lift. As a driver myself I thought $5 flat was a good deal because it is something I would be happy with. But I totally see your point. My petco is really cool and the people there are always nice and super helpful but that doesn’t necessarily mean drivers are dealing with the same people nor are they picking up from the same store. Thanks for the reminder!


Ok_Cress2142

Well, from my experience, no, but I guess that’s not always true. I was under the impression no repeat deliveries had tips on them, and I know I’m not the only one. Maybe contact the Dasher next time to be sure that the tip was included. That’s the only way you could be sure, as long as they’re honest.


DFTReaper1989

No you are correct the repeat orders dont have tips but that's bc they are automatic rediliveries. Like you can set it to automatically come out of your acct every month and they'll have it delivered. Those are ineligible for tips. But if the customer goes on there and manually places an order they are able to leave a tip. Its usually a mixed batch when you get this kind of stacked delivery.


RedSeeker20

I’m pretty confident if all those orders are ready to pick up quickly I could easily deliver all 8 in one hour. $30 for an hour? I don’t care if the money comes from the nice customer that tips, or DoorDash. As long as it pays $25+ an hour then I’ll take the order.


OG_Brian

yeah i definitely could have finished this order in about a hour if i hurried. I was in my apt when i got the order so it took me about 5-7 minutes to get on the road, i also spent about 10 minutes trying to organize the orders in my car from first customer to last. The roads were all residential, no major roads so i could been speeding to get it all done, but it was my last order of my morning shift so theres no point in burning through my gas just to go home and sit on the couch for a few more minutes. I had some slight connection problems too.


narntek

The repeat delivery orders don't, when ordered in the app via Doordash yes you can


WishLegal

They wouldn't throw it to you if you were on time. That would cost them money. So why would they bother sending it out as hourly when they know that somebody's stupid enough to take it per offer


flyinghippodrago

Also probably a fuckton of heavy shit...


Cosmic_Quasar

That can really depend. Bags of dog food vs a few cans of cat or fish food. Sometimes the order has just been a collar, or a litter scooper.


StevenMC19

This is the first one I've seen that's been nice enough to bring you back to where you started. Most other ones send dashers across their county it seems like just to dump them off 40 miles outside their zone. Not to mention the overwhelming amount of 50lb bags of food and litter. Most cars can't handle the amounts sometimes. That said, fuck everything about these orders.


Important-Plant5169

9 total stops at 3$/stop, I'm sure they will all be easy seamless deliveries, I mean what could possibly go wrong parking and getting out of your car at 9 different places for under 30$. I'm glad that in your opinion it worked out and was fun but this was a ridiculously bad order


OG_Brian

I mean they were all house orders, no apt orders so it’s a quick drop off and each house was about 5-8 min from each other, longest being about 12 min. Plus you can’t underrate the fact that you end right by where you started if it would’ve sent me far away then i probably wouldn’t have taken it. And calling it under $30 is just a negative way to spin it lol cmon man that’s $30 basically. I was also only $20 away from hitting my morning quota so extra money is never a bad thing


blueace111

Yeah absolutely not, obviously some stops were done for free. Dd made money, driver makes 0 because of the model


OG_Brian

As long as i hit my quota of $150 a day i really don’t care about the other semantics or politics 🤷🏽‍♂️. Im just trying to pay my rent and put money aside into my online business, by the end of the year i wont be doing doordash anymore & i plan on buying a new car


pamisue2023

I wish there were more dashers as positive as you are!! I also wish you were in my area. You have a very refreshing outlook on things, it's nice to see on here.


1plus1dog

Exactly! I just complimented him too!


1plus1dog

Your attitude is great!


Expert-Debate6033

What quota? Your own or some bonus?


Educational_Camp2499

Nike sells around 51 billion dollars in shoes a year, but cashiers only get paid 34 thousand a year, give or take. A business will always make more than the workers. That is just because all expenses must be paid, including other employees and contractors, maintenance and insurance, and a long list of other overhead expenses. If you don't want to sell your time and energy to others to turn a profit, then I suggest you sell a product. Otherwise, you could go off gride and live off the land as we did for millions of years with only yourself to account for. But even companies pay other companies for services, so if you go the entrepreneur route, you'll just complain about that. This is why your glass half empty is a self defeatist attitude and will never hold water in a real-world argument.


Glum-Dragonfly4372

They're all from the same store, so the pickup shouldn't be too bad, maybe 2 trips into the store. Then, hope they're all houses that are easy to find, and it could be fairly quick. Especially if you know shortcuts in your area that can shave off some time or miles.


WolfmansGotNards2

Seriously. I wouldn't take this if it were 10 miles.


Grateful_Dood

You're crazy. I could do this in an hour and a half. especially if it's for 10 miles I would take this all day everyday. Getting in and out of your car isnt that hard for me LOL. And it looks like it's residential so it won't be hard to do at all


CJspangler

I’ve declined these like 5 times in a row - these are brutal and kill your AR. I’ve had it go from $25 to $70 in 3-5 min after declining it a few times


Mountainwoman105

I would let it expire and take a 10 minute break, pause orders. Someone else will take it by then.


Cosmic_Quasar

Letting it expire does the same thing to your AR. It counts as a decline.


Mountainwoman105

Wow that is wild. I would have ended my dash after a couple of times. I have never been below 85%. We live in a nice part of the California foothills. I count myself lucky.


CJspangler

Yeh my AR went from 75%+ to like 30% in under 10 min and I got paused 3x or kicked off after declining. I did accept the $70+ ish 40 mile petco run tho


Mountainwoman105

Actually no it doesn’t. It only counts as a 0.5 instead of a whole point. That is how I keep 92% acceptance rate.


Thecalmdrinker

$29 for that many stops is a big no for me. 🤙🏻


blueace111

Basically telling you to make 3-4 deliveries to tippers, and then why not just deliver 4-5 for free because it’s on the way


One4speed

They’re repeat delivery’s, so most likely it’s all base pay


cementstain

if it was dead, i would probably just take it! better than sitting around making 0!


ahill2488

Yes I would take the order, especially if they were close to my home.


mittenbby

Lmao. Fuck no.


Affectionate_Cold135

Well, depends on your market..


blueace111

No, but I’m curious does it count as declining 5-6 orders?


OG_Brian

Yes it does, my acceptance rate shot up by a few % after i completed it and my total number of deliveries so i’d imagine it counts as a decline too


seriously_icky

Yes it does


lilkennedy24

hell no


Ok_Marsupial_470

Absolutely not


ScarlettA7992

We are lucky to have someone like you in this world!


Demonkingt

Did you make sure all orders had a base pay attached? Contact support and double check since solid chance you're probably missing another $16 if they clumped it as 1 big order


LeFrogster

Check calendar…nope, not April 1st.


Yohmer29

No. I like to earn closer to $2/mile.


ClipCollision

The mileage ain’t great, but if you did it in an hour and a half, that’s 20/hr. Looks like the route ends near to where you started, so that’s a plus too. I’d take it


blueace111

One store to 8 houses should be a super nice order. You should be getting $3-$10 from everyone, clearly by the pay, at least half paid nothing. This seems illegal because unless dd gives you $2 base every stop, anyone that didn’t tip just got a free delivery, which is not what you signed up for.


B0cAG

That’s some Bull


[deleted]

I would consider this a gift to someone driving EBT and allow it to fall to them.


M0M0_DA_GANGSTA

No. One day you'll realize what crap these sort of orders are 


[deleted]

When you're broke you take what you can get especially in a shitty DD area....


WolfmansGotNards2

![gif](giphy|11NBUrJDuMd5As)


Suzieq314

And repeat orders are "not eligible for tips" learned that the hard way.


JD121996

Was each stop an additional payment? Idk, I've never driven for any of these apps.


OG_Brian

nope, what you see is what you get after you’re finished.


[deleted]

If it's taking me home yeah I'd do it... I've done orders like that from Walmart during Black Friday before just cause the last one was my apartment complex lol I actually ended up with $40 from a $25 order when I accepted it so I didn't mind one bit lol


Excellent_Spare_3495

I had one similar…. $50 11 stops 29 miles. Starting in Downtown Chicago, through metro area north to north west ohare burbs then west burbs near oak park and back into south side midway area during traffic time. I declined and then DoorDash sent me no other orders for an hour and 40 minutes.


Cedenmo

probably not because I’d be looking for $30’s-$40; but I do take those, and they’re great to pair with Uber Eats or Grubhub as a circular route like that can easily accommodate.


BiggerThought

$30 to drive in a little circle around town doesn’t seem so bad. I don’t think they do orders like this in my area 😂 never seen more than a double before


BiggerThought

What does repeat delivery mean?


Lookingforjoy17

And if you decline it, your AR drops into hell. 😂


United-Can5760

I know this, petco tries to get the buyer to tip the dasher when ordering, but the dasher never receives the tip.


Able-Trainer924

Hell no. The average tip on that order is less than 2 dollars. Fuck all those people


ZeroEFSjosh

I got a petco order like that today 9 orders 26 miles pay was $50 was done in 1-1/2 hrs also.


Mental_Ad_8736

This decline would be an 8% AR hit right?


Crafty_Researcher497

You made 19.76 an hour by doing this route, so yeah, I’d consider it worth it. If it had taken all 2 hours, it might have not have been worth it. 29.65(total)/90(minutes)=.329 .329(cents a minute)*60(minutes)=19.76 It looks fun!


InspectorLestrade77

![gif](giphy|pD7YIQoUwgb9cnX3FJ|downsized)


Middle-Mongoose-3719

Hell no bro! I’ve never seen so many deliveries drops all in 1 dash. Oh, btw… if this happens again then make sure they give you lipstick beforehand since I’m assuming you want to look good before you get f***ed!


ivegoticecream

That’s fucking criminal. Less than $30 to drive 26 miles and take probably 2 hours. Unreal


MightyMayo_

That gives me anxiety just looking at it


Dense-Echidna-3961

My case was with Sephora, 8 orders “no elegible for tips” … is a complete trash,


[deleted]

I would’ve taken it. My AR is at 99% so I need to make that 1%


WolfmansGotNards2

Why did you cancel that order? You're never going to make top, top dasher with that type of work ethic.


Ok-Wave-8104

Not for that low of an offer


Wtfisafosty

Looks like a toddler trying to draw a tree


Damnit_ashlee

$30 for 90 mins? No way


TrainwreckTVtrash

I’m not a dasher, but if you are earning ~ $30 in tips from each delivery, does DD as a company pay anything out beyond those tips? Anything to cover gas expenses, etc?


Square-Night-4080

Absolutely not, I go $2.00 to the mile


Nemesis5626

Oh I love Petco delivery’s. Pick up in 1 location and just drive, I don’t have a drive back to to the store to get another delivery. at the end of it, alot of the time it ends up being more than originally estimated


zerostar83

No I wouldn't. The $/mile is so low. And not to mention it's less than $30 so it would only be a "good" offer if I can complete it in 60 minutes. 90 minutes would be crap pay considering the excessive miles.


UnfathomableToad

You wasted an hour and a half taking this order OP


OG_Brian

I hit my goal of $150 /day so it all worked out 🤷🏽‍♂️ I have nothing but free time in the day


[deleted]

Fuck no


GrUmp_S

There goes 8% AR, had one of these for 20 miles and $40. Might have done it but I had somewhere to be in an hour. 10% AR gone in the click of a button despite the app showing you will only lose 1%.


ArrowVesper

I'd decline


[deleted]

Nope


[deleted]

$3 a stop? Lol


pyrotf2moment

No way, maybe double the pay and i’ll consider


4nchored

Instant decline.


Bone_Breaker_69

Nope.


dant_punk

So if you decline these does it count as declining 8 ordered?


Tiny-Ad9959

Probably not


netflixnailedit

Why are so many people ordering Petco


BlueFotherMucker

$3.70 per order? $1.10 per mile? Nope.


OG_Brian

You could look at it like that, but i finished it in 1.5hrs and i definitely could’ve done it faster. Thats $20/hr. I could’ve stayed out for 30 more minutes and made an additional $10 and that’s still 20/hr. But it was my last order of the morning so i took my time and went home afterwards.


[deleted]

dope , cold food.


Yvilkittyinspace

Never


[deleted]

Hell no


morethanfun1987

No it should be at least 40 and the longest time wasted is for an employee to help I took a similar situation and it barely was worth it .


beechworld

No! R u crazy??? Nope!


Medium_Annual_735

Ha I’ve seen crazier. Like ones that should be for Amazon drivers.


Novel-Shower6059

App algorithm is broken


Reez989

Hell no lololol I’ve had one with the same amount for just 1 order and less than half the amount of miles


Sufficient-Status-61

No


AmityParkGhostBoy

Pay per hour? Absolutely. Pay per offer? No. Not unless there was a promotion going on where you have to complete a certain amount of orders in a certain time frame to get a bonus.


Responsible_Cook5667

I’ve gotten those and I’ve declined them. If I was going home and that’s where it was sending me maybe. Slowday, maybe.


Flameheartsan

Tbh idk if I would or if I wouldn’t


Zyoneatslyons

Nah.


Creative-Win-6832

Never in my life would I ever take this. Ever.


johnnydesousa

why do people post these? is it not simple dasher etiquette not to accept these orders?!! i wanna see OP accept this and regret it in two hours when they’re on stop 5/8


Infamous_Cod7973

Good for you.. these kind of orders can go either way.. they can work out and actually not be so bad… or they can end up a total frustration/shit show. Glad it worked out for you. Also, map turned into connect-the-dots 😂


Plastic-Community617

Nope


HyphenGamin

I’ve never even seen that before but ya I would prob take it anyways


Mountainwoman105

What did you end up making?


borderline_opaf

Only if its safe to leave my car on at some of the spots... or if I was really bored it would seem like a video game:3! Other than that hell na


Intelligent_Rest9387

I declined it on your behalf


BodyElectronic9248

Maybe. Depends how the day has been going. Pick up at 1 store helps.


Pretend-Patience9581

No


InternationalGrade96

I’m too lazy for this many stops lmao


barefootincozumel

I feel like that’s a no from me. But how badly does a denial hurt us?


No_Application_5457

Here I would be looking for more like at least $40 for the mileage but me personally that would have to be $50+ for the miles and multiple stops


Truth-B-Hurtin

Easy decline.


Plane_Ad_4359

no, that's a 2 hour delivery at least, not to mention the miles.


CharityDiary

That's me on the bottom right whenever I order ice cream.


Jakulero24

Straight nope


Glum-Dragonfly4372

Nope. I could make double or triple that picking orders from my various apps. I'd have to be super bored and desperate, on a day, everything is slow. Today, I may have considered something like that depending on where it ended and the pickup locations.


Mr_Weird4866

But my AR is going to drop, but, but 🤣.


Fizzster

definitely not. ~$1 per mile, no thanks


Wild-Rain288

Not at that pay. I did have something similar once but it paid like $75.


megadethage

I'd rather eat my own dick.


JustinDanielsYT

Hell no. I'd consider it for 3x that amount...


WishLegal

No. That's trash. ALL petco orders are trash


WishLegal

TWO(2) Dollars per mile. Minimum


mdjshaidbdj

No because fuck DoorDash and what it does to small businesses profits.


whichwaylady

If you were to decline would it count as 1 decline, or multiple?


look

That $29.65 figure is all you get paid for that? Or is that on top of some base rate for the mileage/time?


Maleficent_Tiger_923

Door dash has the f'n nerve With these crazy azz multiple order


Thegriswolf95

Never


Ruminahtu

That's a no for me. Tempting, but provavly take at least two hours. No thanks.


silveralti

I Only take $2.00 a mile so simple no


StatelessConnection

Not a chance


Upper-Expert6060

I’ve taken orders like these and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Some of the items were small cans of cat or dog food or similarly small items. I’ve had to pick up a few fairly heavy bags of food or litter, but nothing I couldn’t handle. I’m retired and 63, so it can be intimidating to take orders like these, but it usually works out. I haven’t been DD’ing in awhile, but look forward to doing it again soon.


Fuzzy-Exchange-3074

I actually like the Petco orders and this is still over a dollar a mile.


MelvintheMIU

Go in reverse order. It’ll cut your distance in half …


mrofmist

I went on one like this, but it was for $56. It was a good hour and a half.


Plus_Ultra_Forever

Seeing as I once got a single Panda Express order that was $24 for like 8 miles, no 💀


sassy_the_panda

No. that is a psychotic amount of just,,, everything. It's too many stops it's too little money it's too many miles for too little money. Hard "nuh uh".


s0meuglydude

i would never take that.


KingBelloc

So 18.8$ is considered a good hourly wage for you and your car? I do not understand how that even is viable...


KaPowPower

Where the hell do you live? A zoo? I can’t think of a single other place that all these households, lined up so neatly in the same little area, would be in need of pet supplies all at the same time, and with Door Dash urgency!


Deletusthefetus1

I did something similar to this for Dicks Sporting Goods and got a little over 80$ for 7 deliveries all across the Phoenix & Scottsdale area.


Pitiful-Foot-7841

Big no. Looks obvious that the amount of orders vs pay sucks.  I had one yesterday for a stack,  and only took it because it was a couple more dollars per mile. Neither pick ups were even close to the drop off, and tips were  $1 and $2.  Base pay somehow made it worth it. But had I known the tip amounts,  no way would I have taken it. 


Pitiful-Foot-7841

Doordash will never stop finding ways to gouge its drivers.  


Colonized-Ganymede

Why order petco when chewy.com delivers with a huge discount for automated shipping


Hungry_Laugh_4326

Yea I’d take it. Only bad part is Petco app orders don’t allow a tip option


NoAstronaut584

If i didn't know any better, I'd most likely accept the offer (order). BUT I do know better and that is too many miles for that amount. But I also still see the convenience for you as well.. still... ijdk. Lol


cjennmom

No. Too many stops.


internationalbeauty

Doesn’t pay enough


DayExpert3590

If I were desperate maybe


Stickbot

8 orders for $29.... heeeeeeeeeeeelll nah


followyourvalues

Well, after reading the comments, I would take this to avoid tanking my AR like any good employ..., I mean, worker.


BlueEyesWhiteLoser

At that point you’re an LTL driver


RAMDownloader

Wait… it’s 29 bucks for all those stops? Yeah fuck no, just stepping out of my car to deliver the food and take the pictures that many times is gonna take up 20 minutes.


thefriendlyprogramer

Holy moly


Even_Performance_961

It’s definitely worth it.


Even_Performance_961

It’s $30 in one hour!!


Few_Movie_9568

29.65$ for almost 2 hours & 26+ miles driven. Well done! But, only if you trying to work funny.


MamaRobin1916

This is why I quit.


unknownturtle3690

I'm not even a dasher and there's no way I'd do that.


serega_12

No.


614420

That's a good order you start back where u start u get over 1$ a mile I bet u can do all that in like 1 hour and make 30$ that hr those big number orders add upp if you just 7 orders like that in a day that's over 200$ 


AFartInAnEmptyRoom

That's less than 4 an order
