They’re here from mastodon. The format looks wonky here as a result.

Worst part of dollar store wrapping paper is that they use paper for the tube.

Tried this with my dog but pants always fall off her butt.

Billionaires are that guy that breaks an egg in his elbow and thinks he’s built different because of that.

Oooh. That’s how it works. Rad

I can’t post photos but I can’t stop looking at the face in the bottom right.

So, I deliver for DoorDash from time to time, and it’s made me change how I view tipping in these apps.

I’m not tipping for quality of service (it’s hard to be ‘good’ vs ‘great’ on pick up, drive, drop off as a service, and if the driver manages to do that badly, DoorDash will make it right for you and ding the driver). Instead I’m tipping based on quantity of work, e.g., the distance I’m asking the driver to cover or the size/weight of the order if it’s something like groceries. While this is something that DoorDash should be doing, it’s not and is left to the customer to close the gap voluntarily.

DoorDash likes to act like they’re just connecting customers to people that want to make a delivery, but they’ve set up the system to feel like DoorDash is the service provider rather than the drivers. In reality, drivers should be setting their fees as independent contractors and DoorDash should only be providing the interface.

They’ve recently lowered the base pay to $2. I’ve had ‘offers’ pop up for $2 on a 10 mile delivery. If I were to accept that I’d be losing money on the delivery.

If this is him, I hope he does it again.

If it’s not him, I hope the real guy does it again.

A little fin, shoulder pads, and a bit more junk in the trunk.

Don’t get too excited.

Something worse will come and fill the void.

That cat knows what it’s doing is bad. What a little shithead.
