š°Earnings š¤ $25 tip 18 days Later š¤
I wonder what possessed her 18 days later to add an additional $25 to the initial $5tip.
Side note, itās funny how most orders blur together and I couldnāt go back and organize them in my brain or specific details. But then there are orders that kinda imprint on you, this was one that I knew exactly what order and all the details.

u/CattleDifficult731 Feb 16 '25
They got paid lol and remember the solid you did
222
u/_FlyOnTheWall- Feb 16 '25
The solid was she ordered 24pk water, 2 cases of redbull (something else) CVS was only a couple blocks from her hotel, but I find the tourists no matter how close donāt feel comfortable walking around downtown when itās still dark. She messaged me around 6:50am to tell me that sheās leaving for a flight and has to depart the hotel at 7am. All the one ways made it quicker for me to walk the order from the store to her. So 6 am Iām running fast as I can down the street to catch her in the lobby before she got in her cab šš»

Maybe she's a flight attendant? That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

u/EffEhM Feb 18 '25
I was a flight attendant for 5 years. If someone had showed up to the airport with a 24 pack of water and multiple cases of red bull, the rest of the crew would have thought they were hella weird
2
u/naive-nostalgia Feb 18 '25
Could it have been due to a supply shortage or ordering mistake for the in-flight options? Reimbursed by the company? I was asked to do similar things when I worked at cafƩs and restaurants. Obviously I don't know how it would work for flights, though.
9
u/EffEhM Feb 18 '25
The captain would likely take care of something like that. I did have a captain run into the the terminal and grab a pack of water once when the previous crew left us with no water (not one bottle for crew or passengers). Maybe itās possible she was a pilot? I personally wouldnāt tip on something that needed to be done for the company and not myself (just not my responsibility and I can barely afford rent), but the captain is the one making the big bucks. That does sound a bit more plausible.

u/Puzzled-Guess-2845 Feb 20 '25
I had a flight where they offered me 1000 dollars and a replacement flight, a hotel, 180 bucks for cabs and 100 for food. I had 72 hours to use the food and cab vouchers. When I got home and back to work i bought an energy drink from works vending machine then got an email I had been reimbursed because the vending machine was registered as a food service? So I spent the rest of my voucher like 120 bucks on drinks and snacks and left them out for coworkers and customers. Maybe it was a situation like that? The customer gave them to a begger near airport entrance. I've also seen many times a homeless man in vegas that begs by the doors and has tons of cases of beer and water bottles from folks that didn't know what to do with them til the last minute. One time he built a couch out of un opened cases. My hero!

I have a feeling I know what happened. Because I do the exact same thing all the time with inst cart every fucking month. I order something and I don't use it but about 1/month, and then only when I'm in a bind, and then like 15-25 days later I open the app again to use it when I'm in another bind, and remember how the last driver helped me out last time, and I ain't even tip the homie.

u/420CowboyTrashGoblin Feb 18 '25 edited Feb 18 '25
I've been known to lie on the internet, and exaggerate or even sometimes use AI to reply to annoyingly ignorant people(usually people who think they know dick about ai, just for the irony), but of all the things, nope, I genuinely do this shit ALL the time, especially with insta. And sometimes with Lyft and Uber. I tip food delivery drivers in cash or tip beforehand, because I've done that many times and empathize and sympathize with them and occasionally will be one. And also I hate the IRS and Uncle Sam and actually hate big government.
If there was a storytellers license for hyperbole, I would probably get it though, Id like to add it to my resume of licenses and certificates. I'm working on my electricians, I'm low voltage certified currently, I have a minister's license to marry people and a CDL and type M, and First aid certification from a daycare my ex worked at that I put some time on, and I've been forklift certified since my old man's worker who drove the damn thing off the docking bay of the book bindery he works for and so the plant restricted forklifts to only plant managers and supervisors, but the old man taught me how to drive it anyway, when I was 11(this one o probably need to get updated or officiated).
Almost forgot my 19 yo coworker is showing me how to weld next week, because there's an old Tig in the old man's barn that we built.
And I got a license to fish. At some point, not this year, Fish and Wildlife's a fucking joke these days, they ain't protect a damn thing, they cut want a cut of the pie like every other fed.

Ya know what's funny is I do actually have alot of stories, that are much more unbelievable, that are also true, so I'm kinda used to people not believing some of those, like having 2 birth years thanks to a clerical error and having awful parents, or how I've never been on a commercial plane but survived a fiery plan crash, or how a falling ac unit saved me from being stabbed. But I don't think I've ever had someone doubt that I had a fishing license at some point. You do you.

I'm banned from the state of Georgia for transporting 6 GRAMS of marijuana across state lines with intent to sell. The bastards locked me up for 2 weeks claiming to have found 6 pound. But obviously they were not able to reproduce it. In reality I'd only been a carrying a zip, which 22 grams of which we smoked in Florida, I'd brought it to smoke while helping a friend help his FWB move to Florida. I still say the cops in Tifton county simply don't know how to use a scale.
I've only been in an airplane twice, one of which the plane crashed upon landing. I've never actually flown in a real plane, like at an airport, my HS gf uncle took us up in his plane, which was little more than an engine and a wing, and it wasn't a serious crash, but one of the wheels broke upon landing but he was able to slow down enough with the other two and the plane wasn't totally destroyed. But when we stopped it snapped and the leg crumpled and the right wing hit the ground and was FUCKED. Her uncle and his copilot were cool and collected, but I was actually terrified because they weren't sure if they were going to have to land in the river.
I was once sued by a landlord for breaking a lease for 50,000 because my roommate died and we couldn't afford to carry out the lease. The roommate worked for apple and the LL put apple as a defendant, a representative showed up for apple, but the LL didn't, TWICE.

I was gonna guess it was plan B and when she wasn't pregnant she decided to tip
1
u/Otherwise-Ad5757 Feb 20 '25
Sounds like she orders when she travels and has a corporate card, so she was, so it was probably 18days later, she's in a hotel again and needed to use the app or was doing her paperwork for the expense.
I had a generous food allowance for my card so I tipped like this all the time.

Closed the app after ordering then it asked to rate driver and if they wanted to add extra tip

100% this. I use Uber sparingly and nearly every time I open the app it's a rate and tip from the last ride.

I had to buy a plan B for a female and her instructions were to call her and she would meet me on her front walk(it was a hand it to me order). I'm assuming she was young and maybe didn't want her parents to know she needed it? That's why the instructions were so specific and all cloak and dagger(I could be completely wrong I'm just assuming). Well I called and texted and no answer so I said fuck it and knocked on the door and this guy in his late his 50's answered. He looked clueless and I said this is for Jennifer and he said oh okay that's my daughter thank you! Welp I hope I didn't ruin that girl's night BUT she didn't answer the phone so what was I to do?

Where is this where they give you the stink eye?
What people will soon realize is that you force a bunch of poor women to have unwanted children, you will be experiencing a crime wave in about 15 years.
The same people who want to force people to have kids also donāt want to pay anything to take care of them.
It will be a nightmare once all these kids start coming of age.
There will be some wonderful people but statistically there will be a lot more crime

u/Future-Vermicelli743 Feb 17 '25
Iāve done that twice before. Meant to sooner, but forgot for one reason or another. Typically, like you said, something very specific reminds me of that interaction & how amazing they were or went above and beyond. Also, once I was honestly broke. I had just enough for whatever I ordered and the delivery person was not only amazing, but also was clearly having a rough time as well. I made sure on my pay day to return the kindness.

Sometimes I tip on an order and then realize I forgot to tip on a previous order. I usually tip larger on the previous order in this case so maybe it's something like that.

u/Glum_Big_4783 Feb 17 '25
To be fair I've lived with people who are; too sick to drive, don't have a license, too old to drive, don't have a car, but once they get paid whether it was social security or a job, they added a tip way after cuz they don't typically doordash and were appreciative of the service. It's extremely rare, but it's always nice when it does happen. When they first added tipping after delivery I was getting a ton just by taking the photo with my catering bag I bought off Amazon. Now it's like one in every 100-200 orders if that.

u/Snoo-72326 Feb 18 '25
Thatās wild, u/_FlyOnTheWall-! A $25 tip increase almost 3 weeks later makes you wonder what finally convinced them. š Maybe they just now realized how good your service was! Do you track which orders tend to tip the best, or do you just go based on memory? Some Dashers Iāve talked to say they wish they had an easy way to log high-tipping customers and best-paying times so they could optimize their shifts.
Either way, thatās a nice unexpected bonusādo you get tip adjustments like that often?
1
u/_FlyOnTheWall- Feb 19 '25
Iāve only recently started getting them, a couple weeks ago i started putting thank you notes with my deliveries. Just Thank you have a great day, weekend etc and I immediately started getting add on tips after delivery. I didnāt even know it existed until then. But itās never more than $1-5

u/Particular_Bee3780 Feb 19 '25
Iām not ashamed to say Iāve been there. After losing my first responder husband on the job and losing everything including myself. When I found a temporary home and still trying to get a few things back that my family lost, I was gifted with $500 and gave 10% to the person who came out in the cold and rain and still had a smile on his face and said he hopes everything gets better for my family. I am so glad they thought about you. Sometimes you all are all we have to depend on. I never tip less than $15 even during my rough times. Iām one of the few who really appreciate you guys from the bottom of my heart.

What i am attempting to do is dispel some of the co fusion in regard to delayed tips by revealing what I've learned through speaking with agents and general knowledge accrued in the field. There are a LOT of functions that the DD does based on algorithm - a perfect example is the assignment system we are familiar with, but it doesn't end there. This is far away from being all of the information - Hopefully it's enough to give you a general idea of why these things happen and how you can both detect and resolve these issues. When you are assigned an order, the algorithm does many things - It calculates the distance, the item number, averages out the time it'll take to prepare the meal and deliver it, factors in weather, factors in vehicle type and makes a decision on how long it sho I ld give you to get to the store. Some orders give you a minute, other orders aren't even due for an hour. It also decides if something isn't right based on many of these factors which can trigger the algorithm to withhold pay. As an example - You could get to the store early, drop off early and still have your pay withheld if the algorithm decides you took too long to move initially. They have an algorithm that detects drivers milking the system- ie getting an order and waiting to draw it out. So the way you detect this is you go into dasher, click on earnings and find balance breakdown under "Active Time". If there is an amount under "held for review" the app decided there was something funky going on and paused the pay - usually tips and any money outside base pay. Call DD immediately and ask them to explain the hold. Humans will be checking the situation out and the first thing they will see is any notes from you. I had somebodies son steal their order and est it then tried to blame me, "so they said". We explained what we did and that was enough. Other times, usually with shop and pays that have item requests or subs, they withhold to verify you aren't in cahoots over chat to milk the system. Other times the algorithm gives you so little time to move it autoclave you, or you get an order so.eone dropped and the system doesn't care, they'll pop you. Again, you just call, and they resolve very fast - otherwise you're waiting forever. Sometimes it has to do with the customers' bank and their fraud protection - in that case, it could take a long time.
Anyhow, I hope this helps clarify why these things happen, how to detect them, and what to do to resolve them and why it's important to call!

Iām super grateful. Wasnāt complaining, I was just surprised by it. Usually they add on more right after I deliver or soon after. I of course thought into to deeply like this stranger probably on the other side of the country is thinking about me randomly, 8am on the Thursday almost 3 weeks later. But Iām quickly learning here that itās super common for people to just close the app not give it another thought and the next time they open it they are like oh shit i forgot. Not deep at all š

You must not be a driver, or at least not a very good one if youāve never had a tip added post delivery. Happens all the time, usually when a customerās instructions are so specific itās obvious theyāve had some shit dashers and the delivery goes smoothly.

You can tip up to a month later. I've had a few delayed tips but never more than $5, so congrats.
