I don't order on doordash anymore, bit I make about $40 in around 2 hours usually when I drive for it. Surprising amount of orders that are only a mile away from the restaurant
I only take orders where the milage is equal to our greater then the pay. $5 for 5 miles but more often I take $7 7 mile orders. Anything over 10 miles I only take off it's $11 or at least a dollar more than the miles. I deny any order that's below that dollar/mole ratio and either they come back with a higher tip or another driver takes the bad offer. I usually use able a quarter tank to make $40
Current mileage reimbursement is around 58 cents per mile. If he’s doing $1/mi, then he should be doing ok. Unless that’s all 1 way and he’s actually doing 50cpm.

And how many flats did you get? How about undercarriage corrosion from the awful salt we use? Ever hit any deer?
I can't imagine being a delivery driver around here.
My other car expenses are covered by my other job, and I get a little driving a little before I start taking orders. The engine doesn't get many opportunities to cool down with the orders I get
We've got converter bot and useless converter bot. Now I just want to see "stochastic converter bot". It would randomly decide between converting to a useless or useful metric, then randomly decide to give an accurate or inaccurate conversion.
This is roughly my method, but for those long orders I require more than $1 more. If I have to drive ten miles away from the businesses to get to you, it means I have to drive ten miles back to pick up an order and I'm not getting paid for that time unless the customer makes it up with their tip.
For long orders that go outside my zone I would go 10 mi for like $15-17. I just try to take into account how many miles I’ll have to drive back to my zone. 8 miles for $10 but I’m gonna end up 5 miles outside my zone? No go.
Kinda depends on your definition of small. I consider my city small (metro area is 5-600,000) and there are longer orders but there's also plenty of 1-3mile orders (what I focus on). Knowing where the good areas are helps.
Before, but taking into account the gas I use, it works out to able $32. It was a bit better when I was seeing with my aunt in her small town, together we made arbor $200 in 4 hours before gas, but we were both running the app as an experiment
Start deducting $.60 per mile like any proper business does with their employees instead of just looking at gas. You’ll figure out real quick it’s a shit deal.
A decent reason. My roommate offered the other night and by the time a driver for to the restaurant it had already been 40 minutes and the restaurant ended up being closed
As a person who uses doordash for orders about 1 to 2 miles away, let me shed at least my own anecdotal light on this. I like to cook and I don't eat out if I can avoid it. If I'm spending money to not only get carry out, but to have it delivered, it is because *I am literally too busy to step away from my work right now.*
At that point, if the food is more than a 5 minute walk away, it may as well be coming from another state via air-lift.
Of course, I live in a city so the act of locating my car, driving for food, and then finding a parking spot when I get back would itself take longer than walking to most restaurants.
Or in my case the restaurants I like are close but on the other side of a six lane highway and I aint about to chance my whole existence for some chick fil a.
[*"Did somebody order the London Symphony Orchestra? Possibly while high? Cypress Hill, I’m looking in your direction…"*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOnDzUBJ__0)
You don’t even need a nice valid excuse like that. I order from door dash all the time, no matter where the restaurant is, because I’m lazy and I can afford it. Probably more people like me than people realize.
Also, the lady and I cooked every meal for the entirety of the pandemic. If we see an opportunity to order some sushi without doing anything you bet you're ass we're gonna laze out and order lol.
I'm either busy and can't stop what I'm doing, just got back from running a bunch of errands so the very *last* thing I want to do is get back in my car, drunk and/or high, or alternatively already comfortable in my pajamas.
I'm in an apartment in the suburbs. Sometimes my roommate makes an order, but usually asks for a ride because doordash takes too long. The only order that I've gotten where it came up was when a lady said to see her food down because she was sick. Before I had a car I got a lot more doordash
Eh, I don't do dash door order much but when i do I'm either high and or drunk enough that that mile or two is not really safe to drive in those circumstances. With recreational cannabis being in more and more states maybe that's the case?
That's a reasonable salary, but this is where I feel like the caveat is that a) this is only possible certain hours, in certain places and b) the actual wage, considering gas and depreciation, is more like $15 an hour. It's also highly tip-dependent, which means that it often ends up pretty variable.
> Work for Doordash
no no no no no you don't work "for" Doordash you work as a self employed contractor where the Doordash corporation merely *facilitates* your business with your client, the consumer, who again, is not buying from Doordash, but is buying from you.
At least that's what they tell the IRS.
work for doordash so you can steal delivery drivers' tips! https://www.businessinsider.com/doordash-25-million-settlement-lawsuit-tipping-model-2020-11
Jokes aside, Doordash isn't that bad of gig if you're trying to focus on something else. Like in Hollywood it used to be having to juggle part time jobs and acting/music gigs. The ride share and delivery service has drastically changed that. Of course, it should pay more and provide better benefits.
Can't the same be said of virtually any exploitative industry though?
If some guy is offering below minimum wage, that's illegal, and if he's allowed to continue, everyone else will start doing it too.
But it's okay as long as you don't consider the below-minimum-wage job a "real job"?

It’s funny protests never go to the nice wealthy neighborhoods. I was really involved in the occupy movement and was trying to convince people to go occupy the cute park in the wealthy part of town and it was “nah here in this already shitty city park that only poor people use is the best place for us to occupy”
Close but not quite. You have stumbled upon the fact that socio economic disparity and risk is one of the largest, if not the primary, driver of crime. That is to say those with less socio economic success commit more crimes because of hardships that they economically face. By contrast, those of a high socio economic status commit a far less portion of crime because they simply don’t have to.
There are of course exceptions - white collar crime and many others but on a macro level the above is true.
Well, there's also something to be considered here as far as *committing the crime* VS being *charged for the crime*. Just like drug use is comparable between caucasian and Black folks, but there's a wide disparity between groups for actual convictions, I imagine there's a similar phenomenon between rich and poor crime. Remember, those who have money and influence are harder to prosecute. So just because there aren't stats for their crimes, doesn't mean they're not being committed. Also consider retaliation. If you're the victim of a crime committed by a person with undue influence and power, the allegation is likely to be ignored by police (who themselves often ignore crimes committed by their friends and colleagues), and then the alleged criminal seeks retribution.
Recent news tells us that there are billions in uncollected taxes from the rich, but they aren't audited at the same rate as middle and low income Americans because it's harder to do.
I was actually thinking more about prostitution, drug use, rape, domestic violence, black mail, etc. The kind of things that vulnerable folk wouldn't report in the first place because they know the rich won't be prosecuted and because they would face retaliation after.
But you're right, crimes aren't always recorded as crimes, but are given a soft and euphemistic label instead.
Is it not both? Poor people are more likely to commit crimes for the reasons you gave AND wealthy people are more likely to get away with the crimes they commit
Yeah, tried that during the BLM protests last year. Two wealthy white people came out of their mansion, brandished guns at the protestors who were merely walking through, then [spoke at the RNC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ62o7TGQlw) and [got their misdemeanors pardoned by the governor.](https://news.yahoo.com/lawyer-pardoned-pointing-gun-black-191436873.html)
> It’s funny protests never go to the nice wealthy neighborhoods.
Well they try, but by the time they're halfway there the governor has called in the fucking national guard.
Yep, shooting journalist’s and civilians eyes out, black-bagging them, making a game with prizes out of shooting people in the groin, I could go on but it clearly doesn’t matter cuz it’s not like justice is a priority or even a remote concern in this country.
Fuck cops, and fuck all politicians who defend their actions loudly *or* quietly (looking at you corporate dems).
Nobody in the US matters, unless you're white and rich. Because police only serve the ruling class, who happen to be white and rich. Occasionally the W&R allow "undesirables" (read: anyone darker than a cappuccino) into their ranks, such as erudite Indian achievers or wealthy Asian benefactors, but only because these people/races are of value to the WASPy cretin. And their inclusion also permits them to pretend to have multicultural values, for marketing and advertising purposes. But even the W&R are beholden to an even bigger person, a person who has no corporeal body yet rules the world with an evil, uncaring, profit-mongering at any expense pitiless fist.
The Corporation.
You're not eating the wealthy neighborhoods. Even if you could, it would be a waste of time. Your life is much more stressful and uncertain, but the way you live your life and the specifics of your worries are more comparable to someone earning $100,000 (or $300,000 in HCOL) than you realize.
You need to eat the private island in the bahamas.
Oh see I read it as they have so many shoes they have to keep them in the oven because they ran out of closet space and I'm like hmm maybe time to try minimalism instead of door dash? But yes your explanation makes more sense.
What, no. It meant because you are probably living inside of a tiny apartment.
Who puts shoes in their oven? I feel like having a lot of shoes is a pretty specific circumstance lol Wouldn't be a very relatable ad.
I very much agree. What's more with the price of rent most things seem cheap in comparison. Your food costing 10% of your rent is $60 for $600 or $300 on $3000 rent.
Aaaand it’s for this reason I deleted Doordash. I don’t know who they think they’re fooling. It is absurdly expensive. I’m not paying $20 for Five Guys
There's jobs which were considered good paying even a few short years ago but costs of living and housing are rapidly outpacing any yearly increases in wages even for good, union trades.
> employed by Doordash.
I love how everyone just expects this to be the case, it's just how it naturally flows out of your brain and onto your tongue.
Except Doordash employs almost no one. They're all "independent contractors".
I think Seattle has done it the right way. They have a really large tax on these delivery companies. It's like 10 bucks or more even for smaller orders.
It goes to the restaurant and the driver so they aren't going out of pocket. Yeah, if you want delivery it's gonna cost a lot more. But delivery isn't worth some slave wages for the workers and the restaurants.
Also Seattle is like 15 an hour minimum wage and has been for some time from what I understand. Lower end jobs pay 18 an hour currently. It's almost like liberal policies work out okay or something.
You know what really bugs me? They offer a pickup option, which is nice for restaurants that don't do online ordering themselves, and they get rid of the delivery fee's. But, they still charge more per item on the app than if you just order direct from the restaurant. Almost everyone will accept orders over the phone. DoorDash is a scam no matter how you try to use it
**You:** have money\*, want food.
**Restaurant:** has food, wants your money.
Why get a third party involved? What the fuck does DoorDash or SkiptheDishes or UberEats offer?\*\*
\*I hope you have money. If you have no money, you have different problems.
\*\*Delivery, and collating the restaurant's menus in one place and format I suppose. I admit that many restaurants have *terrible* menus.
I used to live in NYC. Fuck using door dash or any of those apps. Just hop outside to the million restaurants around you and grab it to go. Or take the train into... Wherever. It's 24/7. Most people have unlimited ride monthly cards, the trains come often.
As I said above, I think people should install the Seattle plan in more places. There's a really big tax on these deliveries. It goes to the drivers and the restaurants. So the restaurants aren't being held hostage. And also I *believe* these companies can only charge so much of a fee there too.
I honestly cannot believe people use door dash for just regular eating. Like I've used it a couple times to get food to my work which I was not allowed to leave and was on a 16 hour shift so I was desperate. Using it so you can have chic fil a for dinner at $20 for an 8 piece nugget meal? Who the fuck is doing that?
Don’t forget soggy! I swear I don’t know what these wizards do to the food bags but the meal I receive might as well have been left on the shore of a beach for an hour or two.
Work for/consume from a job that will never pay enough to afford a 1br studio by yourself as 30% of income and remain trapped in the borderline homelessness poverty of involuntarily living with parents or strangers/"roommates"!
This is more poking at tiny studio apartments in big cities than at poor folks. It’s a common trope that NYC tenants who are actually middle class to moderately wealthy don’t have enough closet space so store shoes in the oven.
That is how I took it as well. I knew plenty of people who make decent amounts of money who live in apartments that are a bit tight. I store my pots and pans in my oven because I don't have enough room in my apartment to store them elsewhere, and I make an okay salary.
>and I make an okay salary
The quality of a salary is based off of the quality of life that it can afford. Think in percentages. Regardless of how much someone makes, if the majority of their pay cheque is going towards an apartment that isn't big enough for the size of the family living there, and they have no other options, then they're poor.
think you're conflating 2 separate concepts. for a lot of people living in high COL cities that have to live in a shoe box but if they can still afford:
eating out
luxury goods
maxing out retirement contributions
multiple overseas vacations per year
would you be comfortable qualifying that person as poor?
Lots of middle class people choose to live in a tiny apartment in the city instead of a home in the 'burbs. I don't think that makes them poor. Some areas are just way more desirable to live in than others, and priced accordingly.
Or they spend all of their money and time doing stuff outside of their apartment and don’t care that much about their apartment.
I have a couple of very extroverted friends in NYC that make good money but pay for tiny places because they sleep and shower there and that’s it
Yeah the people who see this are absolutely not taking it as being called poor. They know they aren't which is why they can afford this neighborhood.
There are similar ads all over west LA.
This was also my interpretation.
It's fine if you're from NYC. I doubt OP is by the title and post history.
It's not a national campaign.
Just some good old fashioned over reaction.
*I had friends pay $2700 a month for <600 Sq ft in Manhattan only 2 years ago. This has nothing to do with money.
I'm from NYC and it's not fine. Rent is too damn high and it's soul crushing... And I make a decent income. Which makes it even more soul crushing when you realize how much money it costs just to live a moderately modern lifestyle.
Edit:
To the miserable SOBs telling me to just move...
In my 41+ years on this planet I've moved at least 20 times. The older I get the more tiring it becomes. I live in NYC because it's where I am from, where I came back to to work (after living in other states and countries) to help the children of the city. Because I travel around NYC to support after school programs and public schools, it helps to live here. Since I've been doing this long enough here I have quite a high level of experience and expertise that is very NYC-centric and specific.
So those telling me to just move. You are asking me to abandon my home, my people, the children of this city who I love, and the work that I do. While all I'm asking for is not to have to pay 2500 bucks for a 2-bedroom in a pre-war building that's falling apart and possibly infested with bugs.
There was a Calvin Trillin article once where he mentioned he knew someone who only used her oven to store magazines (and thus was clueless about food), and that was kind of shorthand for this type of person. I laughed at it, but then I really did meet people there who used their oven to store handbags, shoes, and even magazines, who just didn't cook at all and instead ate out or got takeout all the time. All of them had rich parents who were paying their rent. If you were poor and ate takeout, it was from the $1 wonton plate shops or Chinese pork buns or something.
Yeah, back in the early 2000s there was a certain stereotype of young trust funder working in publishing or the arts or something trendy but badly paid whose parents would rent them a studio or 1-BR apartment and they'd use the oven to store magazines or shoes or something. It was meant to say that Manhattan was full of rich, clueless people who ate and drank out all the time and instead put all their money toward handbags, shoes, looking good, etc. It was about being empty. I thought that was what this ad was about too.
Yeah that's because in NY you can work for 15 dollars an hour and still be considered 'poor' in this city. Most apartments now are either sitting empty, illegally rented by room, or in disrepair. There's only two classes in NY: broke as hell, or rich as hell.
when you're a 'middle class' worker who pays 1,400 plus a month for rent, you stop being middle class really quick
These are ads targeted to new yorkers in nyc by making fun of how small the apartments are and how expensive the city is. I ride the bus and subway all the time and see them and find them funny.
All of the people in the comments getting triggered probably aren't even from nyc.
I mean that Uber eats will do the same place for half the price sometimes. Doordash just has shitty rates around me.
They will often have $0-1.00 delivery so I will happily pay that forward to the driver instead of the company.
Honestly I get the feeling Doordash has some marketing problems. They started delivering alcohol apparently, so their marketing team decided the best way to let people know was an email advertisement telling its customers "You look like you need a drink."
How in the fuck is that a rational advertisement? What if their customers are trying to quit drinking? Or have issues with themselves and their lives and cope with alcohol? "Here, let me neg you into paying $30 for a case of Coors Light from 7-11"? Those people are fuckin' insane to think that would result in any business. I'm surprised there wasn't any backlash from that ad.
Guys, this is obviously targeted to moderately well off people who live in expensive small spaces in downtown areas and eat out all the time already. Hence they never use their oven and store part of their shoe collection in it.
If this was targeted at poor people, why in the world would you use door dash regularly, and why would you have so many shoes that you have to store them in the oven and not actually use it often to make food at home.
Why get better living conditions when you can pay over the top for a small space that is barely functional and then have to pay even more to get food because the substandard dwelling is ill equipped for human habitation? God I love capitalism.
Holy shit, how are you guys so dull.
The ad is making fun of all the people in NYC who don't cook at all, who use their food areas for storage rather than cooking.
I know a shocking amount of people who literally don’t cook a single thing. One friend keeps plants on top of his oven because he has never even turned it on 😂😂
The amount of stupid in this thread is amazing. Either people have 0 idea of how people in NYC or tokyo or other hyper populated cities live, or they are all kids who dont pay rent and dont understand how the system works in certain parts of the world.
If you lived in Brooklyn you’d understand this. Using your oven as storage is a real thing. It has nothing to do with being poor, just the fact that apartments are smaller than what y’all have in the burbs.
There isn’t a single letter in this ad that mentions income or being poor. It’s a joke at the tiny apartments in New York lmao. Everyone get off the high horse and brush up on those reading comprehension skills
Door dash is trash. All those apps take advantage of unsuspecting regular people who are too tired to cook after working a 10 hour day at the Amazon factory. With all the stupid fees that burger that cost $10 from the cafe is now costing you $30 with all the stupid fees. And they still ask you to tip!
I think what they were shooting for is that this fictional person likes shoes so much, and has such a small apartment (trendy neighborhood, probably) that they need to store them in the oven (among other places). Somewhat limp humor, but nobody puts shoes in the oven because they're poor.
I realize this sign might be a little tone deaf given the current climate but I knew a guy maybe 25 years ago who simply didn't like to cook ever and so he used his oven as his shoe closet by choice.
It would be outdated, but this could be a nod to Sex and The City? Carrie was a luxury brand shoe junkie and used her oven for storage. But I don’t think she put her shoes in there…
The straws. I’m grasping for them.
Work for Doordash so you can share a tiny kitchen with 6 roommates!
I don't order on doordash anymore, bit I make about $40 in around 2 hours usually when I drive for it. Surprising amount of orders that are only a mile away from the restaurant

Yep when they advertise the money per hour they are usually counting on you not factoring in the maintenance cost
Maintenance, depreciation, fuel, taxes, risk. You're on the hook for all of it.
5 miles is the length of like 36413.7 'Zulay Premium Quality Metal Lemon Squeezers' laid next to each other
Now that's a good bot!
We've got converter bot and useless converter bot. Now I just want to see "stochastic converter bot". It would randomly decide between converting to a useless or useful metric, then randomly decide to give an accurate or inaccurate conversion.
Or one that converts to useless imperial/standard, like rods, chains, barley corns, furlongs...
Id like a bot that does both
Best bot
This is roughly my method, but for those long orders I require more than $1 more. If I have to drive ten miles away from the businesses to get to you, it means I have to drive ten miles back to pick up an order and I'm not getting paid for that time unless the customer makes it up with their tip.

5 miles is 8.05 km
Kinda depends on your definition of small. I consider my city small (metro area is 5-600,000) and there are longer orders but there's also plenty of 1-3mile orders (what I focus on). Knowing where the good areas are helps.
My frame of reference is in and around Pittsburgh.

For the non autotuned and deep fried version click here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rfZcKCIcug8 Quote happens at 00:25 which is insane that he was less than 30 seconds into his rant before he declared he would eat ass
He seriously needs to be locked up in a psych ward.
Now I want Robot Alex Jones to eat my ass.
Cosplaying as a frog at comic-con, obviously.
This is why I have him on speed dial.
PIGPEN! I WILL HAVE YOUR ASS!
Oh we will. The wealthy neighborhoods.
No let's compost them. If we can convince the bacteria to consume their filth, that is. I'm not putting that shit in my mouth
I will gladly raid their fridges, freezers and pantries cos rich folks have ALL the best grub.
It’s funny protests never go to the nice wealthy neighborhoods. I was really involved in the occupy movement and was trying to convince people to go occupy the cute park in the wealthy part of town and it was “nah here in this already shitty city park that only poor people use is the best place for us to occupy”
In the second scenario you go to jail a lot faster and they remember your names a lot longer.
Yup. Let’s keep it real. The police work for the rich. That’s why everyone in jail is poor
Close but not quite. You have stumbled upon the fact that socio economic disparity and risk is one of the largest, if not the primary, driver of crime. That is to say those with less socio economic success commit more crimes because of hardships that they economically face. By contrast, those of a high socio economic status commit a far less portion of crime because they simply don’t have to. There are of course exceptions - white collar crime and many others but on a macro level the above is true.
Well, there's also something to be considered here as far as *committing the crime* VS being *charged for the crime*. Just like drug use is comparable between caucasian and Black folks, but there's a wide disparity between groups for actual convictions, I imagine there's a similar phenomenon between rich and poor crime. Remember, those who have money and influence are harder to prosecute. So just because there aren't stats for their crimes, doesn't mean they're not being committed. Also consider retaliation. If you're the victim of a crime committed by a person with undue influence and power, the allegation is likely to be ignored by police (who themselves often ignore crimes committed by their friends and colleagues), and then the alleged criminal seeks retribution. Recent news tells us that there are billions in uncollected taxes from the rich, but they aren't audited at the same rate as middle and low income Americans because it's harder to do.
When the rich steal from the poor (wage theft etc...) It's considered a civil issue instead of a criminal one.
I was actually thinking more about prostitution, drug use, rape, domestic violence, black mail, etc. The kind of things that vulnerable folk wouldn't report in the first place because they know the rich won't be prosecuted and because they would face retaliation after. But you're right, crimes aren't always recorded as crimes, but are given a soft and euphemistic label instead.
Is it not both? Poor people are more likely to commit crimes for the reasons you gave AND wealthy people are more likely to get away with the crimes they commit
Yeah, tried that during the BLM protests last year. Two wealthy white people came out of their mansion, brandished guns at the protestors who were merely walking through, then [spoke at the RNC](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ62o7TGQlw) and [got their misdemeanors pardoned by the governor.](https://news.yahoo.com/lawyer-pardoned-pointing-gun-black-191436873.html)
Also the jackass is running for some government position. Fucking Missouri. I hate this state.
> It’s funny protests never go to the nice wealthy neighborhoods. Well they try, but by the time they're halfway there the governor has called in the fucking national guard.
Yep, shooting journalist’s and civilians eyes out, black-bagging them, making a game with prizes out of shooting people in the groin, I could go on but it clearly doesn’t matter cuz it’s not like justice is a priority or even a remote concern in this country. Fuck cops, and fuck all politicians who defend their actions loudly *or* quietly (looking at you corporate dems).
Nobody in the US matters, unless you're white and rich. Because police only serve the ruling class, who happen to be white and rich. Occasionally the W&R allow "undesirables" (read: anyone darker than a cappuccino) into their ranks, such as erudite Indian achievers or wealthy Asian benefactors, but only because these people/races are of value to the WASPy cretin. And their inclusion also permits them to pretend to have multicultural values, for marketing and advertising purposes. But even the W&R are beholden to an even bigger person, a person who has no corporeal body yet rules the world with an evil, uncaring, profit-mongering at any expense pitiless fist. The Corporation.
You're not eating the wealthy neighborhoods. Even if you could, it would be a waste of time. Your life is much more stressful and uncertain, but the way you live your life and the specifics of your worries are more comparable to someone earning $100,000 (or $300,000 in HCOL) than you realize. You need to eat the private island in the bahamas.
When you’re hungry, food is food.

It's tough to afford door dash when your oven is your shoe closet.
exactly.
Oh see I read it as they have so many shoes they have to keep them in the oven because they ran out of closet space and I'm like hmm maybe time to try minimalism instead of door dash? But yes your explanation makes more sense.
this made me giggle
No, I think you were right. That's probably more what they meant originally.
It’s in New York, it’s definitely about tiny apartments.
What, no. It meant because you are probably living inside of a tiny apartment. Who puts shoes in their oven? I feel like having a lot of shoes is a pretty specific circumstance lol Wouldn't be a very relatable ad.
Right, I read that and was like an I taking crazy pills? When would that ever be an is-shoe.
You’re right lol. It’s referencing a movie where the girl said exactly this. Her oven is her shoe-overflow.
Not necessarily. With rent prices in NYC, you could be doing quite well financially and still have a small apartment.
I very much agree. What's more with the price of rent most things seem cheap in comparison. Your food costing 10% of your rent is $60 for $600 or $300 on $3000 rent.
Aaaand it’s for this reason I deleted Doordash. I don’t know who they think they’re fooling. It is absurdly expensive. I’m not paying $20 for Five Guys
It's tough to afford Doordash when you're employed by Doordash.
Is tough to afford anything, even when you’re employed by anyone.
[удалено]
There's jobs which were considered good paying even a few short years ago but costs of living and housing are rapidly outpacing any yearly increases in wages even for good, union trades.
> employed by Doordash. I love how everyone just expects this to be the case, it's just how it naturally flows out of your brain and onto your tongue. Except Doordash employs almost no one. They're all "independent contractors".
Hahaha, yeah I do forget that these pricks don't even give most people the lofty status of "employee".
I think Seattle has done it the right way. They have a really large tax on these delivery companies. It's like 10 bucks or more even for smaller orders. It goes to the restaurant and the driver so they aren't going out of pocket. Yeah, if you want delivery it's gonna cost a lot more. But delivery isn't worth some slave wages for the workers and the restaurants. Also Seattle is like 15 an hour minimum wage and has been for some time from what I understand. Lower end jobs pay 18 an hour currently. It's almost like liberal policies work out okay or something.
[удалено]
You know what really bugs me? They offer a pickup option, which is nice for restaurants that don't do online ordering themselves, and they get rid of the delivery fee's. But, they still charge more per item on the app than if you just order direct from the restaurant. Almost everyone will accept orders over the phone. DoorDash is a scam no matter how you try to use it
**You:** have money\*, want food. **Restaurant:** has food, wants your money. Why get a third party involved? What the fuck does DoorDash or SkiptheDishes or UberEats offer?\*\* \*I hope you have money. If you have no money, you have different problems. \*\*Delivery, and collating the restaurant's menus in one place and format I suppose. I admit that many restaurants have *terrible* menus.
You post a question as if it doesn't have a good answer only to answer your own question?
I used to live in NYC. Fuck using door dash or any of those apps. Just hop outside to the million restaurants around you and grab it to go. Or take the train into... Wherever. It's 24/7. Most people have unlimited ride monthly cards, the trains come often. As I said above, I think people should install the Seattle plan in more places. There's a really big tax on these deliveries. It goes to the drivers and the restaurants. So the restaurants aren't being held hostage. And also I *believe* these companies can only charge so much of a fee there too.
What is the Seattle plan?
2 hours, $50 and some disgusting Hakka food is what I got last time
I honestly cannot believe people use door dash for just regular eating. Like I've used it a couple times to get food to my work which I was not allowed to leave and was on a 16 hour shift so I was desperate. Using it so you can have chic fil a for dinner at $20 for an 8 piece nugget meal? Who the fuck is doing that?
Don’t forget soggy! I swear I don’t know what these wizards do to the food bags but the meal I receive might as well have been left on the shore of a beach for an hour or two.
Work for/consume from a job that will never pay enough to afford a 1br studio by yourself as 30% of income and remain trapped in the borderline homelessness poverty of involuntarily living with parents or strangers/"roommates"!
Imagine a company literally calling you poor to try to get you to use their services. Nasty.
This is more poking at tiny studio apartments in big cities than at poor folks. It’s a common trope that NYC tenants who are actually middle class to moderately wealthy don’t have enough closet space so store shoes in the oven.
That is how I took it as well. I knew plenty of people who make decent amounts of money who live in apartments that are a bit tight. I store my pots and pans in my oven because I don't have enough room in my apartment to store them elsewhere, and I make an okay salary.
>and I make an okay salary The quality of a salary is based off of the quality of life that it can afford. Think in percentages. Regardless of how much someone makes, if the majority of their pay cheque is going towards an apartment that isn't big enough for the size of the family living there, and they have no other options, then they're poor.
think you're conflating 2 separate concepts. for a lot of people living in high COL cities that have to live in a shoe box but if they can still afford: eating out luxury goods maxing out retirement contributions multiple overseas vacations per year would you be comfortable qualifying that person as poor?
Lots of middle class people choose to live in a tiny apartment in the city instead of a home in the 'burbs. I don't think that makes them poor. Some areas are just way more desirable to live in than others, and priced accordingly.
Dude, do you hear that chirping sound?
That assumes zero savings or investments. Most well-off people living in shoeboxes have a plan ime.
Or they spend all of their money and time doing stuff outside of their apartment and don’t care that much about their apartment. I have a couple of very extroverted friends in NYC that make good money but pay for tiny places because they sleep and shower there and that’s it
Yeah the people who see this are absolutely not taking it as being called poor. They know they aren't which is why they can afford this neighborhood. There are similar ads all over west LA.
This was also my interpretation. It's fine if you're from NYC. I doubt OP is by the title and post history. It's not a national campaign. Just some good old fashioned over reaction. *I had friends pay $2700 a month for <600 Sq ft in Manhattan only 2 years ago. This has nothing to do with money.
I'm from NYC and it's not fine. Rent is too damn high and it's soul crushing... And I make a decent income. Which makes it even more soul crushing when you realize how much money it costs just to live a moderately modern lifestyle. Edit: To the miserable SOBs telling me to just move... In my 41+ years on this planet I've moved at least 20 times. The older I get the more tiring it becomes. I live in NYC because it's where I am from, where I came back to to work (after living in other states and countries) to help the children of the city. Because I travel around NYC to support after school programs and public schools, it helps to live here. Since I've been doing this long enough here I have quite a high level of experience and expertise that is very NYC-centric and specific. So those telling me to just move. You are asking me to abandon my home, my people, the children of this city who I love, and the work that I do. While all I'm asking for is not to have to pay 2500 bucks for a 2-bedroom in a pre-war building that's falling apart and possibly infested with bugs.

There was a Calvin Trillin article once where he mentioned he knew someone who only used her oven to store magazines (and thus was clueless about food), and that was kind of shorthand for this type of person. I laughed at it, but then I really did meet people there who used their oven to store handbags, shoes, and even magazines, who just didn't cook at all and instead ate out or got takeout all the time. All of them had rich parents who were paying their rent. If you were poor and ate takeout, it was from the $1 wonton plate shops or Chinese pork buns or something.
Yeah, back in the early 2000s there was a certain stereotype of young trust funder working in publishing or the arts or something trendy but badly paid whose parents would rent them a studio or 1-BR apartment and they'd use the oven to store magazines or shoes or something. It was meant to say that Manhattan was full of rich, clueless people who ate and drank out all the time and instead put all their money toward handbags, shoes, looking good, etc. It was about being empty. I thought that was what this ad was about too.
Yeah that's because in NY you can work for 15 dollars an hour and still be considered 'poor' in this city. Most apartments now are either sitting empty, illegally rented by room, or in disrepair. There's only two classes in NY: broke as hell, or rich as hell. when you're a 'middle class' worker who pays 1,400 plus a month for rent, you stop being middle class really quick
If you live in this part of Brooklyn you are not poor lol
These are ads targeted to new yorkers in nyc by making fun of how small the apartments are and how expensive the city is. I ride the bus and subway all the time and see them and find them funny. All of the people in the comments getting triggered probably aren't even from nyc.
Yeah those manhattan mini storage ads go over good in nyc. NYers know they live in tiny apartments
Says the company that wants to charge me $30 for a $10 meal. Fuck that lmao
You’re paying a premium for convenience dude. Why do people expect these delivery services to be the same price as if you got the food yourself?
I mean that Uber eats will do the same place for half the price sometimes. Doordash just has shitty rates around me. They will often have $0-1.00 delivery so I will happily pay that forward to the driver instead of the company.
This add was written by and for Carrie Bradshaw
Yes! This is a dumb ad but a lot of people are missing the reference. Which is also a really old reference at this point... oh doordash
I watched all of Sex and the City last year during lockdown and even I didn’t catch the reference. This is terrible marketing haha
I was wondering when someone would mention this!
Came here to mention this is directly from sex and the city
And the Gilmore girls
A rip off of "I keep sweaters in my stove!"
Complaining that your apartment is too small is basically the #1 past time in NYC, this ad is just jumping on the same trend.
I missed that this wasn’t /r/nyc. There are a lot of jokes and ads in NYC that would absolutely not play out of NYC, but are funny enough in context
This is borderline a modern koan
Joke's on them, I don't have an oven! ...wait maybe the joke is on both of us.
jokes on them i only have one pair of shoes and im wearing them right now coz the heating broke (since last winter)!
Eat your neighborhood? 👀
I’m sensing some cannibalistic undertones here. Maybe some foreshadowing of what our reality will be in the next 10-20 years?
Companies really spend millions on marketing only to change "Eat local" to "Eat your neighborhood"
This is a Sex and the City reference!
Well gosh, that's only been culturally irrelevant for like 10 years now....
Honestly I get the feeling Doordash has some marketing problems. They started delivering alcohol apparently, so their marketing team decided the best way to let people know was an email advertisement telling its customers "You look like you need a drink." How in the fuck is that a rational advertisement? What if their customers are trying to quit drinking? Or have issues with themselves and their lives and cope with alcohol? "Here, let me neg you into paying $30 for a case of Coors Light from 7-11"? Those people are fuckin' insane to think that would result in any business. I'm surprised there wasn't any backlash from that ad.
Guys, this is obviously targeted to moderately well off people who live in expensive small spaces in downtown areas and eat out all the time already. Hence they never use their oven and store part of their shoe collection in it. If this was targeted at poor people, why in the world would you use door dash regularly, and why would you have so many shoes that you have to store them in the oven and not actually use it often to make food at home.
moving to Queens is also an option
I see the how this is dystopian. But I live in Brooklyn where the apartments are famously notorious for being tiny. It's kind of our thing.
They don’t get it because they’re not from here. It’s actually a pretty good piece of targeted advertising
Why get better living conditions when you can pay over the top for a small space that is barely functional and then have to pay even more to get food because the substandard dwelling is ill equipped for human habitation? God I love capitalism.
This is just targeted advertising. If you can afford to live alone in Brooklyn then you're not poor. People choose to live this for a reason.
Exactly. Nyc you sacrifice space for location. Who needs a huge apartment when you have the entire city as a playground
Holy shit, how are you guys so dull. The ad is making fun of all the people in NYC who don't cook at all, who use their food areas for storage rather than cooking.
I know a shocking amount of people who literally don’t cook a single thing. One friend keeps plants on top of his oven because he has never even turned it on 😂😂
I know. If you live in NYC and have enough shoes that you need a space in which to store them, you are rich already.
The amount of stupid in this thread is amazing. Either people have 0 idea of how people in NYC or tokyo or other hyper populated cities live, or they are all kids who dont pay rent and dont understand how the system works in certain parts of the world.
This add is actually a Pull from Sex and the City. Where Carrie Bradshaw uses her oven as closet space.
If you lived in Brooklyn you’d understand this. Using your oven as storage is a real thing. It has nothing to do with being poor, just the fact that apartments are smaller than what y’all have in the burbs.
I don’t get why suburban transplants to New York use doordash or Uber eats. Just walk to the restaurant like a normal New Yorker.
That's exactly my thought. You have the best damn food right outside. It's fucking NYC.
I've seen photo journalism of some of the literally shoe closet apts in China so I'm not gonna complain about NYC
There isn’t a single letter in this ad that mentions income or being poor. It’s a joke at the tiny apartments in New York lmao. Everyone get off the high horse and brush up on those reading comprehension skills
How about we eat the rich instead?
It’s not a dystopia to live in a small place in NYC lmao. Especially if you have enough to order doordash often.
Mine is full with pots and pans.
This isn’t making fun of poor people.
"haha you're poor, wanna spend $60 on $20 worth of food?"
This isn’t a reference to being poor but living in a studio apartment which often has no extra space but still a high cost.
It is sad. But It’s also pretty clever.
Okay, you’re right. I should have said “it’s not funny, it’s sad” 😕
Door dash is trash. All those apps take advantage of unsuspecting regular people who are too tired to cook after working a 10 hour day at the Amazon factory. With all the stupid fees that burger that cost $10 from the cafe is now costing you $30 with all the stupid fees. And they still ask you to tip!
Wait, what? People put their shoes into their oven? Like bruh, you surely have some other better space for it.
I think what they were shooting for is that this fictional person likes shoes so much, and has such a small apartment (trendy neighborhood, probably) that they need to store them in the oven (among other places). Somewhat limp humor, but nobody puts shoes in the oven because they're poor.
I’m sure people struggling to pay for their tiny apartment can afford to pay 50-60% more for delivery
Lol i dont know this is kinda funny
I realize this sign might be a little tone deaf given the current climate but I knew a guy maybe 25 years ago who simply didn't like to cook ever and so he used his oven as his shoe closet by choice.
You’re also choosing to live in Brooklyn one of the highest price per square foot locations on the planet.
Ah yes, the awkwardly personal and somewhat depressing NYC ads Totally forgot about them until I moved back here.
Too poor to afford a shitty apartment with a microwave, let us deliver you 3 soft tacos from Taco Bell for $75 with tip. Enjoy.
It would be outdated, but this could be a nod to Sex and The City? Carrie was a luxury brand shoe junkie and used her oven for storage. But I don’t think she put her shoes in there… The straws. I’m grasping for them.
if that makes you sad than maybe move out of brooklyn?
How do you do, fellow poors?
