    Filled in my #dasher tracking sheet today and added a chart!

    This one shows most of the stores I've got orders from since I started tracking that more closely in March. (there is a 'long tail' of <5 orders on the right that is not included in the picture.)

    No big surprises for me in here. McDs and Dairy Queen are the 'bread and butter' locations. Other good performers pop up as the number of orders declines including NoodleBox, Boston Pizza, and Walmart.

    Little Valley and Panago are good ones on the less frequent side.

    7-11 is frequent, but pay is terrible.

    “Walmart SFS" is their package delivery vs. grocery. It's an anomaly. It does not allow tips, and the orders are generally 5-10 packages at a time per offer which is why it has the most orders, but the very little cash.

    I'm also always considering these numbers geographically... as in, where is the best place to stage myself for the most pay. There is a 'north' and 'south' side of town and It's not a clear choice.

  6. I wonder what regulatory pressure might have been involved here. DoorDash's Crimson Card (their debit card where they instantly send payouts) has always been a pain in the ass to move money out of, having to wait several days in order to do so. I always figured it was so that they could mine the data from your purchases, knowing that many dashers can't afford to wait several days to put money in their own account and they'll instead have to use the Crimson Card. The conspiracy theorist in me believes that they track your gas purchases on the card and give you shittier offers when they think your tank is full, betting that you'll be more likely to take those bad offers on a full tank than a near-empty one.

    Well, now, for a two dollar fee, you can immediately move your own damn money into your own damn account instantly, where DoorDash can't see what you do with it.

    Finally.

  7. There used to be a #Linux application for text input with a mouse (or joystick/maybe eye tracker) >10 years ago, where you would move the pointer within a continuum of moving characters and syllables. It felt like Markov chain suggestions with the most probable next part of a word being bigger than less probable ones.

    EDIT:
    @notabenemovies found it. It was #Dasher, dasher.zone/

  8. This is probably the weirdest delivery request I’ve ever seen for DoorDash. Customer said leave at mailbox. Sure, why not. I’ll throw your Mickey D’s in the middle of a lake if you want me to.

  9. Blue Dashers at Van Horne Retention Pond

    20 July 2024

    After the disappointing visit to Fairview Farm Wildlife Preserve, I decided to stop at the retention pond at Van Horne Park. On the 45-minute drive home, my mind drifted, and I had a brief conversation with myself about bacon.

    When I say bacon to someone from the United States, they usually think [...]

  10. May was a decent month for #doordashing considering I was actually very busy with other things most of the month including one week that I was almost totally absent from. Still got to $1200 for the month. An average of $23/hr.

    I’ve noticed a few new faces on the rounds lately but mostly it seems to be me and a group of about 6 other fellows (most of them know each other) that do 99% of the deliveries. I’ve introduced myself to a few.

    I’m getting consistent good paying deliveries most of the time. I’m still waiting for the one remaining <5 star review to drop off so I can have a full 100 five ⭐️ rating which should maximize the opportunity.

    I enjoy it. I have a system. Although it is definitely less profitable in the Prius vs the EV. And also, I haven’t had an offer for a shopping order in weeks, which is awesome. *knocksonwood*

  11. Not sure why, but I've already made 47 #Dasher deliveries this month and my pay rate is hovering around $25/hr compared to $18 or $19 the last two months. Overall not making a lot more because I am shortening my time dashing to gain back downtime, which is nice. #DoorDash #Gigwork #GigEconomy

  12. "Achievement unlocked"? I guess.

    "You have unlocked Dash Now Anytime, which lets you dash anytime you want."

    I am now a "Top Dasher".

  13. Just discovered the Category Groupings in Apple Numbers. Useful! Extended my spreadsheet for Dasher tracking all the way out to the full year and now I can group by year, month and week (the Dasher app goes by week).

    The one trick is if you want subgroups you really have to do it at the beginning. It's very hard (impossible?) to properly add subgroups after. They get all mixed up.

    The groups create their own calculation line where you can sum, average, etc that column in the group.

    I’m going to have to use this for my historical weather spreadsheets!

  15. Did some more dashing. Getting those ratings up. This is gamification, and satisfying algorithms, but also, it is satisfying. So far about $19/hr ave. And ~200km driven. #gigwork #gigeconomy #doordash #dasher #driving #EV

  16. Well, I guess I have officially joined the 21st century Gig economy. A few months back I set up a Dasher account on Door Dash just to see how it worked.

    On New Year's Eve, we were bored of the second run of the NYE TV show, so Tree and I went dashing mostly for the drive and did a couple deliveries. We had fun.

    So I've been doing a few more this week when I had an hour or two to spare. It's an impressively efficient system considering how new it is to our area and the variety of restaurants that use it, even in my small town.

    I've put in about 6.5hrs (mostly NY Day) and made an average of $CAD20/hr inc. tips. Not sure if it's going to be a solid thing, but I guess my foot is in the door.

    If you're interested, let me know. Happy to answer questions about it. I've done tech consultant/help kind of work off and on for over 20 years and have had a business name associated with that for most of that time but it's never been more than the odd job here and there. That was kind of the 20th century version of the side hustle.

    This app-based stuff is interesting.

  17. #Missouri residents can don their kerchiefs and caps and settle down for a long winter's nap tonight, knowing that #Santa's nine #reindeer are free of tuberculosis, brucellosis and chronic wasting disease. The state's Department of #Agriculture recently issued a permit allowing #SaintNick to fly his team through the state to deliver presents this #Christmas Eve.

  21. Astoundingly, Dick’s Sporting Goods may fulfill holiday orders from their website locally via #DoorDash.

    Unbelievably, #Dicks may not inform you. So when the #Dasher cannot get into your gate access neighborhood because you were unaware anybody needed a gate code, the Dasher may leave your delivery on the street.

  22. #mushroomFM What does Santa Claus say when he eats too many cookies? “Ho, ho, hwuh! 🤮” #Dasher

  23. Not sure what is worse: prancing or dancing on the table. I think dashing from table to table mixing and mingling sounds more fun. #MushroomFM #Dasher

  24. Wow, the #Dasher text-entry system stillworks on #Android. Did not get an update in 7 years. But it's still available from #fdroid

  25. is a mouse based keyboard.

    Dasher allows you to type using mouse movements. Letters are presented as boxes, with probable letters given larger boxes. Dasher can learn as you type, making letter predictions more effective, improving typing speed. Dasher is great for use with joysticks, head mice, or eye mice.
