My son left early for a field trip today so I started work early at 7 am. Got this grocery order pretty far but solid pay and only 10 items. I found out when I got there that 10 items means 10 crates filled with bags and 4 cases of water. Wouldn't have been that bad if it were to a house but it went to the worst possible apartment building. I had to make 4 trips getting buzzed in each time and the elevator was a good 100 yards from the entrance. $150order and no tip. This order took 1.5 hours plus another 30 mins to get back. My last time accepting a grocery order

They used to show exactly how many items but I guess no one was taking the orders

You may as well do Instacart if you're open to doing grocery store runs. Definitely make more per hour.
Yea Ive heard good things talking to drivers I run into. I actually signed up last year got the card and everything but couldnt pick up any blocks. Gave up after a while and then found out I had to reapply when I tried a few months later. If its that hard to pick up blocks Im not interested. Thats the main reason I stopped Flex too

Guess its someone else's turn to be suckered next time. What a brutal cycle. Somebody's figured out how to rip the delivery person

It did say extra-large order, but I suppose you only get a certain amount of time to Accept or Decline?
When you use DoorDash, don't you sign up for hourly slots, and then need to take everything that comes your way?

You sign up for blocks but you can decline as many orders as you want. Unless they're paying bonus then you have to maintain an 80% acceptance rate during the bonus hours

What the hell were you thinking accepting an 18 mile job for just 21 dollars? That's a mistake I'm sure you won't repeat anytime soon.

It was 7:30 am so I wasn't as picky about orders. It was a learning experience and def the last one I ever accept

Sounds like a Walmart order here. We don't have the grocery option...yet. I now know to look closely, sounds like a lot of them will be turned down.
It was pretty much a Walmart order. Thing is Walmart orders used to show exactly how many items. Which is why I thought 10 items was actually 10 items not 10 crates
