Biking Chicago for Uber & DoorDash: The Wait, The Deliveries, and a Fun Day Downtown

Ойын-сауық

Join me for another biking adventure as I navigate the streets of downtown Chicago while making deliveries for both Uber and DoorDash. In this video, I'll take you through the ups and downs of the day, with a unique challenge: the wait times for some orders were longer at the restaurant than the actual delivery!
But don't worry, it wasn't all about the waiting. I had a blast, and I'm excited to share this fun day of deliveries with you. Experience the energy of the city, the challenges, and the joy of the ride as I bring you along on my journey.
Watch to find out how I handled the waiting game and made the most of my day in downtown Chicago!
I just invited you to drive with Uber. See how: drivers.uber.com/i/9fshz47mz824

    @1:55 I did my very first door dash job two weeks ago. Oh man. I felt that one. I hate when I get a downtown building with and address, and have troubles finding it. When I did a drop off. it lead me into 835 Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611. I call the customer, even though they gave me instruction. But I really fail to realize that's Water Tower Place, and I have to get inside, and go into the store they were in. Yeah. best way to learn is to mess things up.

    I think it would be cool to also have some "uncut" or unedited videos, where the rides from and to the restaurants/drop offs are not sped up. I have moved out of Chicago and just being able to see the streets and all that again is super cool. Would be nice to get more of that, maybe just have a less edited version of some of the videos every now and then?

    Bro - that warning at the beginning felt a little too targeted towards you lmao! It looked just like you. And, how you gonna say they can't see you with all that hi-vis on? Too funny. But your nephew had a good point, you really could take some of the most interesting parts of your videos and make them into shorts or Tik-Toks. Like a compilation of folks not seeing you on the road, or rude customer service folks, or horrible road conditions, funny item combinations at shop-n-pays etc. Oh, and ignore the haters man, your supporters far outweigh them.

    There are dozens of benefits to it. Yes they are cold 🥶. I like doing them in the morning shortly after waking up. It’s the mental toughness benefit that I like. I figure if I do something that is not easy first thing then the stressers in the rest of the day don’t seem so bad. Look up ice bath benefits on tik tok or KZread shorts to get lots of info on benefits quickly.
