Is Gig Work Dead Or Is There Still An Opportunity?| Doordash, Uber Eats, Grubhub Ride-Along

In this Saturday Night Multi-App Food Delivery Ride-Along we are faced with the though that Gig-Work might be dead. Is it still an opportunity or has gig-work become a dead end job. We look at the other options and give our thoughts as we deliver for Doordash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, & Instacart during a dinner shift.

    Just remember this positive... you are appreciated especially by those of us that have no car, can't drive, can't leave the house, and count on the kindness and service from people like you to get us what we need that we can't get for ourselves. Unfortunately there seems to be more cheap lazy tippers than those of us that don't take you for granted but know you are awesome!

    Waiting for someone to come out is annoying. Happened to be on DD: I called, texted, and let the timer run out. The app said leave order in a safe place w/pic. Then the customer called me when I was up the street and said it was marked delivered and she didn’t get it. I told her where I left it and there’s a picture.

  • @peterlee3467

    Often the customer doesn't answer the door, and I wait for awhile, then I call them, and they immediately answer before I can say hello and say "Can you just leave it at the door?!" in a rude tone before they even hear me speak....that pisses me off because it means they knew I was waiting the whole time.

    I've pivoted to doing life insurance & retirement gig work and it's great. I've found that it's best to order delivery myself and give a cash tip to other drivers too to actually find leads as other drivers are getting squeezed due to an overcrowded marketplace given drivers are squeezed.

It's just they choose to never learn English. Then they raise their kids in their native language to and it's America. Bi lingual is okay. But when you can't speak English at all is a problem.

    I had an UE meet at door and needed pin # to complete delivery. Customer text early on in order to leave at door.... before I knew I needed pin number😮. Then they never text me back or answered my calls.... all I needed was pin number!! I kept texting, calling and ringing door bell. So I waited for timer to run out and it gives you option at that point to take picture and leave or continue to wait or return order. So of course I just took pictures and left but it is sooooo annoying!!

    My shortest delivries- Jamba Juice to a T Mobile store across the street and a KFC to Tractor Supply Co across the parking lot. We know that the person that made you wait is sorry, but she still should apologize. Uber and Instacart needs to reduce the forced wait time or add a penalty fee that goes to the driver for wasting our time. As infuriating as leave at door yet I'm outside waiting orders are, (possibly trying to score a free meal by accusing us of theft) the hand it to me yet I will ghost you orders come off as a stronger "fornicate yourself".
