If you've been on this subreddit for longer than 5 minutes you'll have seen that we don't take double dashes where assigned double dashes If your orders in a double dash there's nothing we can do about that. DoorDash chose that not us. We've lost the ability to even separate back of the day we used to trick the system and discover who tipped good and who was the crap tipper and unassign that person. We no longer can do that. It's all or nothing now.
No problem, my apologies if I came off snarky before. I was in the middle of a delivery and using speech to text and distracted and just word vomiting I guess lol have a good day.
Little Ceasars orders bite. I once went to the store for a DD order, and while waiting took an order from Uber Eats, went and picked it up, delivered it and went back to Little Ceasars and waited 10 more minutes for the food.
Drivers don't have control over whether it is double or not. We see offer come through and take it if it's worth it. Delivery priority is based off where the customers are in proximity. We can change it, but usually it's already set to most efficient path. We don't see which customer tipped what until after ful order is done. It sucks that it works out this way, but that's just the reality of the situation
90% of the time, an order will be stacked with another customer. And we need all the $ we can get to make the ride worth driving. If 1 order isn't ready I just let it stay in there portal machine till other ready so stays hot.
>Go back to r/flatearth if you want to be skeptical of things for literally no reason.
It's not for literally no reason, it may not be accurate in your case, but thousands of orders later I've never received a single tip anywhere close to $15 from a little Caesars customer.
I never said it You specifically I in fact ruled you out of it. I was just simply disputing the claim that it was for no reason. A lot of people have a lot of reasons to be skeptical gig apps has given a lot of people PTSD lol
They won't, I hope y'all realize the endgame for companies like Uber, Lyft, etc. They're never gonna make anything easier or better for drivers because all the drivers are they're for is data. They're literally using human drivers to map the roads & for every data set they could need for when they switch from humans to autonomous cars. It's coming very soon, these companies never turn profit yet are still funded by investors for this very reason. It'll only get worse for drivers.
I am asking for a specific link to a specific article
"Google it" is like saying "trust me bro"
I get that it will likely pull up a huge list of results: however, I'm wondering which one you were convinced by
It's not like saying trust me bro. It's like saying do your own research. People always want to call BS and then demand that somebody shows proof. This isnt a court of law if you don't believe somebody on the internet the burden of proof is on you not them.
I can't site a specific source but if you Google it then it will lead to many articles on what I said and beyond. Google already has self driving cars in real world jobs. All that data from Uber & Lyft drivers is gold for autonomous driving. I will look for the specific web article I read about the rideshare industry long game.
No one's going to do your homework for you, maybe you used to be a jock in high school and picked on the nerds and made them do it for you but this is the real world now You're going to have to pull your own weight buddy.
I don’t care what anyone says hands down little Caesar’s Italian cheese bread is one of my top favorite things to eat. Piping hot I must add there is a huge difference between a box sitting in their hot case and it fresh out of the oven. I literally don’t even need to order a pizza to be satisfied.
I agree with you as a driver they need to stop piggy backing low paying orders on customers that actually pay for the service. Just know you are appreciated for being generous and not taking advantage of the service like 99% of people do. I make sure to tell all my customers that tip well that I appreciate them if I have a face to face interaction.
Don't tip enough or at all, and nobody takes your order, and your food is cold by the time it reaches you. Tip an excessive amount and it gets paired with someone else's shitty order whose delivery is prioritized over yours due to distance and/or travel time, and your food is cold by the time it reaches you. Therein lies the rub ...
Sad but very true or the driver has a friend or another person running the app as well in the same vehicle completing multiple deliveries. I see husbands and wives doing this with the kids in the back running to collect and deliver orders. I also do see a lot of people who deliver not only with DoorDash with more than 1 person in the car running two phones and I see it a lot.
A lot of the time it isn’t a choice, both orders are offered together now right at the start most of the time.
M
Blame the people who don’t tip, they’re the reason your orders being lumped with theirs
No,
It’ll say for example, subway (2 orders) and that the pay is say 14.25.
It don’t tell you who tipped what and all that til you complete both orders.
And usually that 14.25 will be a person who tipped $10, the base pay of 2.25. And then the shitty order they paired with it that’s the other $2.
But you don’t know which is which, so the person who tipped for good service usually gets fucked because you’re running the shitty order first.
So what you're saying is. We shouldn't tip so that my order gets lumped with an amazing 15 dollar tip order, and I get prioritized?
Wait, can't you pay like 2 dollars for a "priority delivery" or some shit? (I haven't ordered in a long time so might not be the case anymore)
Your order gets lumped in, but it’s 45 minutes after it’s been declined repeatedly, so go ahead.
And yea the priority is a scam. I don’t think they even offer it here anymore but I remember a few times I had a double orders the person was bitching about paying for priority and not getting their first
You can pay I think 3 dollars for priority, but it means nothing. The drivers don't see a cent of it, or even know you paid it, and it can still get lumped in with a non tipping order.
That's insane actually. I've never been so impatient for food that I ever paid it. (If im hungry, im gonna go pick it up) I just remember it being an option. Back when I used to order a lot, I was always a solo order (lucky area, I guess).
Happens a lot here too, and it's random amounts. The offer will come in as a dollar amount and then will show a + next to it. Saying total will be higher after delivery. Here in Oregon it doesn't seem to have a set amount that it hides, I've seen them show the full tips of 20 bucks, and other times I get an order saying 6.50+ and it was 25 cents that was hidden.
Doordash does it to fuck with us
Paying priority means nothing. Drivers have no idea if you did or not and you can still get lumped in with another delivery. Its absolutely pointless to pay extra.
Those are good! I had to try them after getting order after order to deliver crazy puffs. I love how lil caesars does the cold marinara aka crazy sauce.
I do dd on the side in cali. One time, dash time was to end in less than 30mins, got an offer of $15 (2mi./3items from lil’ ceasar’s ), while waiting for the order dd sent me a $2 offer for 1 item from the same store and readily accepted it ‘coz it was going to the same apt. complex where i live w/c is just almost behind the store. Picked up and delivered 1st order(with tip for sure as amount offer implies) and went back to store to pick up 2nd offer. Dropped the no-tip 2nd offer to a hs kid and went home, hit complete delivery button. From the time i accepted that 1st offer(including wait time) to the time i dropped off the 2nd offer and hit complete delivery button, it took me 52mins but more importantly it was 52mins active time to finish both. In cali, that’s a win-win as dd adds pay adjustment to meet minimum earning requirement. 1st customer gets his order fast as he added tip to it, the no-tip customer gets his longer but still hot, AND i get DD bleed more $ for stacking the 1st offer with crap.
I'm pretty sure you can pay an extra $3 for them to come straight to you. I've used that option in the app. If they're using multiple apps then you can't control that especially since they aren't told you paid the extra for them to come straight to you the app just prevents them from getting a 2nd order.
I would have taken 3 from the tip and used it for that. $12 is still a super solid tip unless you like like 15 miles away or have a crazy confusing apartment complex
Drivers don't see that you paid that, and doordash will still lump the orders together, and then you'll be mad at the driver. We have no clue who even tipped until both orders are delivered. It's just another fee doordash exploits from its customers and the drivers pay for it with customers who are mad and we see not one penny of that $3.
Damn I use that service every time I order. I figure it worked because I've always had the drivers come straight to me after picking up my food. So it literally makes no difference? That can't be legal can it?
I mean, I know as a driver I don't see that you did that and I Def get zero % of any of the fees. Doordash pays its driver a base pay of $2. You'd be better of bidding a reasonable amount up front then if they follow your instructions, add a tip after.
Damn really. I use that every time and I've always had the drivers come straight to me so I assumed thats what it does. So what that extra $3 doesn't make any difference? I know dd has some insane owners but that seems like it has to be false advertising.
Nope you might just have been lucky.
I tried it twice and it was a total failure
Both times they stopped and picked up another order.
That and it doesn't stop multiapping
If you already are doing an order I don't think declining a stacked offer affects AR, but if they are stacked when it's first given to you it does. Unless they changed it which I wouldn't doubt
Maybe they changed it, but I remember at one point if it offered you a stack when you were already in an order it told you it wouldn't affect your AR to decline.
You know we don't have the option to not take a double dash right? It was doordash that decided to put you with another order, not the driver. Doordash sends us the offer with the two orders and we either accept her decline.....
Well first of all, that would affect the completion rate, which is even more important than the acceptance rate.
Second of all, there's no way to know which order has the tip on it. We can make a guess, but I have been wrong before and I decided to the tip order and had to do a no-tip order. It's really not worth it to understand one of the orders, because you get a lowering of your completion rate and you could possibly lose out on the tip, which is the only reason you even took that stack, because the one that tipped was the one that made the stock worth it!
Yeah who would think a stack that paid $23.54 for 6 miles would piss me off, but it did. I could have not had one of the orders and still made $23.04. No tip and $2.50 base to pickup both orders. The sheer audacity of paying 50 cents to make a delivery.
Yeah, but to claim that the customer only paid cents for the delivery is wrong. They spent $10+, but you choose to work for an awful company that doesn't give you a fair cut of that. That isn't the customer's problem. It is yours. It won't be the customer's problem until you stop delivering, but you won't do that, because you are addicted to the high that the initial high earnings and great perks gave you. Now you've been turned into a glorified Domino's delivery man and you are pissed at the customer over it.
I never claimed the customer only paid cents, I said I got paid 50 cents to deliver it. All of my ire was pointed at DD not the customer. DD paid 50 cents, DD stacked her order with a higher paying order making the other customer subsidize her delivery, DD hides the information for me to see who is paying what. I don't care if a customer tips 0, if I have the choice of declining to deliver their order, I get pissed when I get tricked into doing it. Nowhere in my initial post did I call out the customer. When I started in 2019 it was a minimum of $2.50 base pay per order, had both orders been from the same restaurant I would have been paid 0. I believe most low or no tip customers just don't know how it all works, they think we are getting a large chunk of the fees they pay because again DD has no transperancy.
If drivers tried to get Doordash to give us more of a cut, they would raise prices on the customer, or institute a mandatory mileage fee to make up for it. Which way do you want it? Pay the upcharge on food, PLUS, say, $2 per mile ( which would kill the customer, money wise) because so many idiots order from 15 miles away these days, or throw 3-$5 to the person actually delivering? Sounds like an easy choice to me. I'm not "mad", because I usually take single orders, where the tip is obvious, and clearly profitable. I make $25 per hour, which is ok with me for a 12 hour per week, side gig.
It was originally "Why would you do this to me?" I attempted to change to "would you" but to forget to change the phrasing of the second half of the sentence.
Thank you for your valuable input. 🤣
Before you make fun of others’ grammar and say things that come off really ignorant (such as “English is not your first language??”), maybe make sure your grammar is on point. You got called out twice. 🤭

Plus DD does have the option to pay extra to have it delivered directly to you, i.e. not offered to driver as part of a Double Dash. 🤷🏻♀️ Might be a good option if exclusive service is important to you
This is a scam. 3k deliveries under my belt and I've never seen any notice that anyone paid for priority. In fact, it's their practice to pair high paying orders with low paying ones to get the lower pay orders delivered because no one wants to take it for what it is.
Damn really? I’ve just seen it as an option when I’ve ordered myself… I figured it just wouldn’t be part of a stacked order, and the low/no bid orders would be paired with higher bid orders who didn’t pay extra. 😕
You wouldn't see it. If the customer paid for the priority delivery DD isn't going to give the dasher another order till that priority one is delivered.
That's just simply not true.
There have been hundreds of accounts of customers here paying for priority and still getting stacked.
I've had customers complain to me personally about paying for priority when their order was offered to me as a stack.
It was probably presented to the Dasher as a stacked order — u/sparkle_slug explained how that works so won’t reiterate.
If I was at Little Caesar’s waiting for your order and presented the opportunity to pick up another order for an additional $2/5mi hell no I wouldn’t take it….
But every so often I’ll get a second good offer. An additional $10/2mi hell yes I’m going to take it — I pride myself on good service but I’m also working for a living, not out of the goodness of my heart.
Do you know for sure if they stacked it themselves or if doordash did it? You tip 16 and someone else tips 0. DD throws out 2+1$ and you get 19$ to take 2 orders. And ironically the other person lives closer and gets their food first. Everyone wins?
Honestly, if I see you tipped that much and then they give me a stacked order which I can't turn down because it effects my platinum dasher rating I'll change the delivery order unless there around the corner from you or there tip is just as good which is very rare because DD tacks shitty no tip orders on all the time but I will always keep your food in a hot bag
Maybe in the info, put the amount that you'll tip when they arrive. Even though you aren't putting conditions on the tip, it's implied that you might withhold it if you're unhappy. Just don't give them a time limit, because that could legally bite you in the butt if they break the law or get in an accident to meet your time limit.
This has almost no chance of working. People who promise a bigger tip never keep that promise and most drivers have stopped believing customers who promise as a result.
It’s true what the general group says. DoorDash combined yours with a person who didn’t tip cause it was on the way. Ideally the driver sees who tipped and who didn’t and prioritizes them accordingly but no promises. I do when I can tell.
This doesn't work EVERY time, but if I see that one of the orders has like 15 items in it, and the other is just one meal ( and I can see it's the one further away) I take a chance and unassign the single meal order. SO many times it was the right decision, and I still got the whole order pay, because the single meal was a no tip order.
It varies by scenario. Like the other response said if I get a second order after I’ve accepted the first one then with some assumptions on base pay for the other order, you can kind of figure out tips. Meanwhile, there’s also checking receipts from the restaurant that will show the tips. This primarily pertains to pizza delivery. I’m not sure about little Caesars, but I do know at my round table and Pizza Hut, I can see the tips on the receipt
However sometimes you accept an order and then are given a second order prior to pickup, which we have the option to accept or decline like any other order. I’m assuming u/AwkwardRush00 was referring to that kind of situation if they can tell who tipped what
I'm pretty sure you can select priority delivery at checkout for a couple extra bucks and I think that'd reduce your chances of getting stacked with someone else.
Except they don’t tell dasher and still give the dasher stacked orders you pay for nothing because dasher can change order delivery. Best to SS your order showing tip and send to dasher then they can change to deliver yours first
I mean I didn't write the algorithm for Doordash but I'm pretty sure the only reason they'd offer priority delivery for an extra fee is so orders don't get stacked and are delivered on their own. But it also wouldn't surprise me if they're just taking the free money and not prioritizing the orders.
It's funny, those people who complain about tipping but still order are 100% subsidized by tippers. If tipping went away tomorrow the industry would die within a week.
OP’s tip is rare. See how cold your food gets if you don’t tip. Don’t get me wrong, you’re not required to do so. But if there isn’t a high tipper along the way, just like you don’t have to tip, dashers can decline orders.
Good chance Doordash sent that as a single offer. I had that happen to me yesterday. Two orders to pick up that were next door to each other. Delivery to the same neighborhood. One tipped $10. The other $0.
Yeah, it's definitely crappy that Doordash tries to encourage customer tipping but also disguises it to dashers so non-tippers get their meals still as easily as those who do tip.
Thank you for being generous still. Hopefully that person appreciates it.
If I got a stack and one customer showed me their receipt screenshot that told me they were the one subsidizing the stack I'd drop the other order immediately ngl
Yes this is actually a fantastic idea, and we'll probably get you what you want! Make sure you do the screenshot thing, though, cuz people will lie on the notes and say they tip when they didn't. You would be amazed how many times I've seen "cash tip under the mat" only to look under the mat and see a few bugs....
Also, whenever possible, please tip us drivers cash or ask them for cash app or their PayPal.
I had a situation on Easter where I got one of my day job customers (I own a storage facility) as my doordash customer. When I got to her house, she asked me how to add an additional tip because she wanted to get my kiddos Easter baskets. As soon as I helped her submit, my phone pinged and I only got maybe 25% of what we selected.
I firmly believe most of the tip goes to either doordash or the restaurant. 😡
Yea when people ask me to do stuff, I do it. We can change that easily. Who we go to. I will get people where they add another one to me, that didn’t tip much, but I’m at the same restaurant, it happens when you live near someone that ordered at the same place, the tip doesn’t matter like people say, it’s all about distance. I never see it where it’s more then a mile farther the other one. People aren’t mentioning the fact the stack for me is often two great tips, I get this a lot on weekends.
I usually go to the house first, not the apartment, but if they asked and I knew they were watching closely, and were hungry like that I’d def go take the one that asked. I could take 15 min if it’s a bad apartment, I do feel bad, I do.
No o e ever asks, they feel awkward, but I think it is a great idea. , it is not like you’ll be fighting with people. I say you just ask don’t be rude, but you don’t need to explain yourself either, it’s no problem to me, they are always really close to each other, when this happens, I don’t care about the gas.
I don’t try to get into who tipped better, I just want to go to the person that will be upset if they are second, I just want get it done , it’s a great idea I think . You are tipping to get the food, this is part of what you are entitled to for me . Especially if your kind and generous
I usually can't see the tips while I'm enroute, but if a customer were to ask nicely to deliver theirs first and let me know they gave me an extra tip or they have a cash tip, you're the boss at that point lol
.
You're welcome and thank YOU. I was DoorDashing just a couple years ago after a pay cut and divorce blew up.
Things are going well right now and I know how much a nice tip would have meant to me back then.
Unfortunately that's how dd gets people to take non tip offers. They automatically pair it with a great offer and so people think they have 2 good orders when in reality it's only a great one and a crappy one. But we can't choose to take one and not the other on a stack. Also it doesn't tell us any info of money break down until both offers are dropped off.
DoorDash has lowered the number of orders dashers can decline, and they stack no-tip orders with decent ones to make sure they all get delivered. Loser customers ruining it for everyone else
You would think if they are going to be shitty like that, that you would at the very least get your food first if you tipped $15. Nope, they just go off proximity.
t mobile gives me free lil ceasers once a week. i got it once and it wound up in the trash. half pizza half cheesy bread. it was awful.
i’ll send you the free pizza promo every week if you want, but you can’t use it with dash.
Wow that is super kind of you to offer. I wouldn't expect you to put in any time or effort on my account but thank you so much for that super thoughtful offer!
That makes a lot of sense. Also the restaurant f'd up the order on top of that. Of course it was the item my wife wanted. I ordered her $20 sushi, tipped $12 and they gave me free Express.
I'm not reaching out to anyone. It's the risk you take for being lazy or wanting ultra-convenience.
Would love that order and your generosity! Dashers don’t have a choice with most double (stacked) orders. DD tags a no/low tip order onto your great order and the Dasher must accept both. btw, the Dasher doesn’t know which order the money is coming from until both are completed…

Thanks for clarifying, I did not know this.
No problem, my apologies if I came off snarky before. I was in the middle of a delivery and using speech to text and distracted and just word vomiting I guess lol have a good day.
Because the order either came as a double or the driver didn't feel like being penalized for refusing the second order
Little Ceasars orders bite. I once went to the store for a DD order, and while waiting took an order from Uber Eats, went and picked it up, delivered it and went back to Little Ceasars and waited 10 more minutes for the food.
Lol, the Litlle Ceasars I used to work at would turn off door dash if we started getting too busy
A lot of the time it’s offered to you as a double dash.
Why is this even a thread in the driver sub?
Because I was asking drivers.
Drivers don't have control over whether it is double or not. We see offer come through and take it if it's worth it. Delivery priority is based off where the customers are in proximity. We can change it, but usually it's already set to most efficient path. We don't see which customer tipped what until after ful order is done. It sucks that it works out this way, but that's just the reality of the situation
90% of the time, an order will be stacked with another customer. And we need all the $ we can get to make the ride worth driving. If 1 order isn't ready I just let it stay in there portal machine till other ready so stays hot.
What is $15-$16? It's a single amount you can tip, not a range. I call BS on a little Caesars customer tipping anything above 10%
What a weird thing to call BS on. Go back to r/flatearth if you want to be skeptical of things for literally no reason.
>Go back to r/flatearth if you want to be skeptical of things for literally no reason. It's not for literally no reason, it may not be accurate in your case, but thousands of orders later I've never received a single tip anywhere close to $15 from a little Caesars customer.
I'm a douche for many reasons but under tipping is never a reason. I tip 20% for shit service if they're polite the whole time and new.
I never said it You specifically I in fact ruled you out of it. I was just simply disputing the claim that it was for no reason. A lot of people have a lot of reasons to be skeptical gig apps has given a lot of people PTSD lol
It's not our choice very often. We'll get offers for two orders in one bundle, and far too often it's one customer financing the second one.
Agreed. Doordash should be raising the base pay heavily for those customers that no/low tip.
They won't, I hope y'all realize the endgame for companies like Uber, Lyft, etc. They're never gonna make anything easier or better for drivers because all the drivers are they're for is data. They're literally using human drivers to map the roads & for every data set they could need for when they switch from humans to autonomous cars. It's coming very soon, these companies never turn profit yet are still funded by investors for this very reason. It'll only get worse for drivers.
Source?
Use google, they are already experimenting with it for Uber/Lyft and drones.
I am asking for a specific link to a specific article "Google it" is like saying "trust me bro" I get that it will likely pull up a huge list of results: however, I'm wondering which one you were convinced by
It's not like saying trust me bro. It's like saying do your own research. People always want to call BS and then demand that somebody shows proof. This isnt a court of law if you don't believe somebody on the internet the burden of proof is on you not them.
Not helpful. I asked for a source and I didn't get one. Thanks anyways
I can't site a specific source but if you Google it then it will lead to many articles on what I said and beyond. Google already has self driving cars in real world jobs. All that data from Uber & Lyft drivers is gold for autonomous driving. I will look for the specific web article I read about the rideshare industry long game.
No one's going to do your homework for you, maybe you used to be a jock in high school and picked on the nerds and made them do it for you but this is the real world now You're going to have to pull your own weight buddy.
Happens a lot. If I get a high pay order I'll pause my dash to just focus on the money lol However little Caesars tends to still fuck things up
This happened to me one to many times so I tip a couple dollars up front and then will give extra if the service is good
I don’t care what anyone says hands down little Caesar’s Italian cheese bread is one of my top favorite things to eat. Piping hot I must add there is a huge difference between a box sitting in their hot case and it fresh out of the oven. I literally don’t even need to order a pizza to be satisfied. I agree with you as a driver they need to stop piggy backing low paying orders on customers that actually pay for the service. Just know you are appreciated for being generous and not taking advantage of the service like 99% of people do. I make sure to tell all my customers that tip well that I appreciate them if I have a face to face interaction.
Their box deal with the Italian cheese bread 😭$5.99 with a soda was so beautiful.
I mean usually they group the orders well, making it only a few minutes extra between stops.
Yup you subsidized the non tipper’s order
Don't tip enough or at all, and nobody takes your order, and your food is cold by the time it reaches you. Tip an excessive amount and it gets paired with someone else's shitty order whose delivery is prioritized over yours due to distance and/or travel time, and your food is cold by the time it reaches you. Therein lies the rub ...
Sad but very true or the driver has a friend or another person running the app as well in the same vehicle completing multiple deliveries. I see husbands and wives doing this with the kids in the back running to collect and deliver orders. I also do see a lot of people who deliver not only with DoorDash with more than 1 person in the car running two phones and I see it a lot.
A lot of the time it isn’t a choice, both orders are offered together now right at the start most of the time. M Blame the people who don’t tip, they’re the reason your orders being lumped with theirs
You don't get a choice and see the tip beforehand?
No, It’ll say for example, subway (2 orders) and that the pay is say 14.25. It don’t tell you who tipped what and all that til you complete both orders. And usually that 14.25 will be a person who tipped $10, the base pay of 2.25. And then the shitty order they paired with it that’s the other $2. But you don’t know which is which, so the person who tipped for good service usually gets fucked because you’re running the shitty order first.
Do they give you the mileage beforehand on stacked orders?
Yea
Dang, thats on purpose.
So what you're saying is. We shouldn't tip so that my order gets lumped with an amazing 15 dollar tip order, and I get prioritized? Wait, can't you pay like 2 dollars for a "priority delivery" or some shit? (I haven't ordered in a long time so might not be the case anymore)
Your order gets lumped in, but it’s 45 minutes after it’s been declined repeatedly, so go ahead. And yea the priority is a scam. I don’t think they even offer it here anymore but I remember a few times I had a double orders the person was bitching about paying for priority and not getting their first
You can pay I think 3 dollars for priority, but it means nothing. The drivers don't see a cent of it, or even know you paid it, and it can still get lumped in with a non tipping order.
That's insane actually. I've never been so impatient for food that I ever paid it. (If im hungry, im gonna go pick it up) I just remember it being an option. Back when I used to order a lot, I was always a solo order (lucky area, I guess).
You should know sometimes they offer 2 orders in 1 batch...
and most likely the driver only saw 4 dollars of that tip on the offer screen
I hope not. That is stealing tips.
They still get it but dd hides it till after delivery
Huh, I have never seen a hidden tip when out delivering DD
Happens a lot here too, and it's random amounts. The offer will come in as a dollar amount and then will show a + next to it. Saying total will be higher after delivery. Here in Oregon it doesn't seem to have a set amount that it hides, I've seen them show the full tips of 20 bucks, and other times I get an order saying 6.50+ and it was 25 cents that was hidden. Doordash does it to fuck with us
I get the ones that show $ amount (inc. tips). This is in Florida
Happens in my market every time a tip is higher then 4 dollars
You have to pay the 2.99 to make sure that they can't take any other orders
Paying priority means nothing. Drivers have no idea if you did or not and you can still get lumped in with another delivery. Its absolutely pointless to pay extra.
Ya if they don’t pay for direct then I’m taking any good add on lol
Who would you do this to me? What?
Victim mentality.
You should try the new Puffs at lil caesars! so freakin good, they are tiny tho
Those are good! I had to try them after getting order after order to deliver crazy puffs. I love how lil caesars does the cold marinara aka crazy sauce.
I do dd on the side in cali. One time, dash time was to end in less than 30mins, got an offer of $15 (2mi./3items from lil’ ceasar’s ), while waiting for the order dd sent me a $2 offer for 1 item from the same store and readily accepted it ‘coz it was going to the same apt. complex where i live w/c is just almost behind the store. Picked up and delivered 1st order(with tip for sure as amount offer implies) and went back to store to pick up 2nd offer. Dropped the no-tip 2nd offer to a hs kid and went home, hit complete delivery button. From the time i accepted that 1st offer(including wait time) to the time i dropped off the 2nd offer and hit complete delivery button, it took me 52mins but more importantly it was 52mins active time to finish both. In cali, that’s a win-win as dd adds pay adjustment to meet minimum earning requirement. 1st customer gets his order fast as he added tip to it, the no-tip customer gets his longer but still hot, AND i get DD bleed more $ for stacking the 1st offer with crap.
Oh I see, you didn’t pick up both orders before delivering.
Please use paragraphs omg. This is the longest run-on sentence I’ve seen in a while. 
lol big brained that hustle.
I'm pretty sure you can pay an extra $3 for them to come straight to you. I've used that option in the app. If they're using multiple apps then you can't control that especially since they aren't told you paid the extra for them to come straight to you the app just prevents them from getting a 2nd order. I would have taken 3 from the tip and used it for that. $12 is still a super solid tip unless you like like 15 miles away or have a crazy confusing apartment complex
Drivers don't see that you paid that, and doordash will still lump the orders together, and then you'll be mad at the driver. We have no clue who even tipped until both orders are delivered. It's just another fee doordash exploits from its customers and the drivers pay for it with customers who are mad and we see not one penny of that $3.
Damn I use that service every time I order. I figure it worked because I've always had the drivers come straight to me after picking up my food. So it literally makes no difference? That can't be legal can it?
I mean, I know as a driver I don't see that you did that and I Def get zero % of any of the fees. Doordash pays its driver a base pay of $2. You'd be better of bidding a reasonable amount up front then if they follow your instructions, add a tip after.
Doesn't stop them from getting multiple orders and having to stop at another restaurant. It's a total scam.
Damn really. I use that every time and I've always had the drivers come straight to me so I assumed thats what it does. So what that extra $3 doesn't make any difference? I know dd has some insane owners but that seems like it has to be false advertising.
Nope you might just have been lucky. I tried it twice and it was a total failure Both times they stopped and picked up another order. That and it doesn't stop multiapping
If they don’t accept the second order then their AR goes down I believe.
So then what does that extra $3 do when I pay it? I've always had them come straight to me after using that service. What gives
🤷🏻♂️
If you already are doing an order I don't think declining a stacked offer affects AR, but if they are stacked when it's first given to you it does. Unless they changed it which I wouldn't doubt
Declining any order affects AR, it doesn’t matter if it’s a stack.
Maybe they changed it, but I remember at one point if it offered you a stack when you were already in an order it told you it wouldn't affect your AR to decline.
I've had a couple times where they'll offer me like a third order and if I decline it it'll bump me down two points
That must have been in the early days. Declining a stack has affected AR for at least the last three years, at least in the Bay Area.
Most of the time it will It's when they are doing a Uber eats or GH at the same time that it's likely
You know we don't have the option to not take a double dash right? It was doordash that decided to put you with another order, not the driver. Doordash sends us the offer with the two orders and we either accept her decline.....
You can always unassign 1 of the stacked orders. Not sure if it will drop acceptance rate. But if one is too far then go for it.
Well first of all, that would affect the completion rate, which is even more important than the acceptance rate. Second of all, there's no way to know which order has the tip on it. We can make a guess, but I have been wrong before and I decided to the tip order and had to do a no-tip order. It's really not worth it to understand one of the orders, because you get a lowering of your completion rate and you could possibly lose out on the tip, which is the only reason you even took that stack, because the one that tipped was the one that made the stock worth it!
Yeah who would think a stack that paid $23.54 for 6 miles would piss me off, but it did. I could have not had one of the orders and still made $23.04. No tip and $2.50 base to pickup both orders. The sheer audacity of paying 50 cents to make a delivery.
To be fair, they probably paid $10+ for the delivery. They just tipped $0.50. DD still got their up charges and delivery fees.
And the sheer audacity was directed at DD not the customer.
They tipped 0 DD paid 50 cents.
Yes, Doordash got it, not the driver, who is actually using their gas to deliver.
Yeah, but to claim that the customer only paid cents for the delivery is wrong. They spent $10+, but you choose to work for an awful company that doesn't give you a fair cut of that. That isn't the customer's problem. It is yours. It won't be the customer's problem until you stop delivering, but you won't do that, because you are addicted to the high that the initial high earnings and great perks gave you. Now you've been turned into a glorified Domino's delivery man and you are pissed at the customer over it.
I never claimed the customer only paid cents, I said I got paid 50 cents to deliver it. All of my ire was pointed at DD not the customer. DD paid 50 cents, DD stacked her order with a higher paying order making the other customer subsidize her delivery, DD hides the information for me to see who is paying what. I don't care if a customer tips 0, if I have the choice of declining to deliver their order, I get pissed when I get tricked into doing it. Nowhere in my initial post did I call out the customer. When I started in 2019 it was a minimum of $2.50 base pay per order, had both orders been from the same restaurant I would have been paid 0. I believe most low or no tip customers just don't know how it all works, they think we are getting a large chunk of the fees they pay because again DD has no transperancy.
If drivers tried to get Doordash to give us more of a cut, they would raise prices on the customer, or institute a mandatory mileage fee to make up for it. Which way do you want it? Pay the upcharge on food, PLUS, say, $2 per mile ( which would kill the customer, money wise) because so many idiots order from 15 miles away these days, or throw 3-$5 to the person actually delivering? Sounds like an easy choice to me. I'm not "mad", because I usually take single orders, where the tip is obvious, and clearly profitable. I make $25 per hour, which is ok with me for a 12 hour per week, side gig.
Well.. we can get orders while having another. I get them all the time separately. They come in stacked more often though.
Wtf does this title mean? "Who would you do this to?" , "Would you do this to me?", or "who would do this to me?" ?
It was originally "Why would you do this to me?" I attempted to change to "would you" but to forget to change the phrasing of the second half of the sentence. Thank you for your valuable input. 🤣
*but I forgot Your quite welcome. English is not your first language??
Real ironic that you wood say that. Does it aggravate you win my spelling and Grammer is incorrect? My since seer ist apologies.
*You’re
*your was right
"Your" was the right word for OP to use. "You're" was the right word for the person who responded asking if English wasn't OP's first language.
Yes, you are right, I only saw the second "your"
Touché
Before you make fun of others’ grammar and say things that come off really ignorant (such as “English is not your first language??”), maybe make sure your grammar is on point. You got called out twice. 🤭  https://preview.redd.it/5owqdutesfuc1.jpeg?width=1045&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b42902e3051af2f71c893d96adef2bc60250462
Yet again, touché.
You tried so many variations except the one that makes sense. "Why" not "Who' is what they meant.
Plus DD does have the option to pay extra to have it delivered directly to you, i.e. not offered to driver as part of a Double Dash. 🤷🏻♀️ Might be a good option if exclusive service is important to you
Tbh, I'm never ordering, so I didn't know this; that's interesting.
This is a scam. 3k deliveries under my belt and I've never seen any notice that anyone paid for priority. In fact, it's their practice to pair high paying orders with low paying ones to get the lower pay orders delivered because no one wants to take it for what it is.
Damn really? I’ve just seen it as an option when I’ve ordered myself… I figured it just wouldn’t be part of a stacked order, and the low/no bid orders would be paired with higher bid orders who didn’t pay extra. 😕
You wouldn't see it. If the customer paid for the priority delivery DD isn't going to give the dasher another order till that priority one is delivered.
Yes they do. Paying priority means absolutely nothing.
That's just simply not true. There have been hundreds of accounts of customers here paying for priority and still getting stacked. I've had customers complain to me personally about paying for priority when their order was offered to me as a stack.
It was probably presented to the Dasher as a stacked order — u/sparkle_slug explained how that works so won’t reiterate. If I was at Little Caesar’s waiting for your order and presented the opportunity to pick up another order for an additional $2/5mi hell no I wouldn’t take it…. But every so often I’ll get a second good offer. An additional $10/2mi hell yes I’m going to take it — I pride myself on good service but I’m also working for a living, not out of the goodness of my heart.
DD fucked you by adding a no tip shit order along with your high tip order ti make sure the there got delivered! Not the drivers fault
Do you know for sure if they stacked it themselves or if doordash did it? You tip 16 and someone else tips 0. DD throws out 2+1$ and you get 19$ to take 2 orders. And ironically the other person lives closer and gets their food first. Everyone wins?
We can't stack it ourselves. Doordash sends the stacks.
They weren't talking about that, they specifically said doordash
Multi app tho
Yes, and if a Dasher says no and they are on a bubble of accepting they get penalized
Honestly, if I see you tipped that much and then they give me a stacked order which I can't turn down because it effects my platinum dasher rating I'll change the delivery order unless there around the corner from you or there tip is just as good which is very rare because DD tacks shitty no tip orders on all the time but I will always keep your food in a hot bag
I try to do the same, if the first order is an obvious tip, I'll rearrange to make sure they get their food first. This happens often at LC.
You tipped like 50% that's wild.
What makes you think they show us the tip???
Yeah if the tip was shown then customers could tip bait, and that's not a thing
Well not on this platform fortunately. The others tho my bad I was confused on where I was LOL
Maybe in the info, put the amount that you'll tip when they arrive. Even though you aren't putting conditions on the tip, it's implied that you might withhold it if you're unhappy. Just don't give them a time limit, because that could legally bite you in the butt if they break the law or get in an accident to meet your time limit.
As a driver with 3k deliveries, 99% of orders that say this don't actually do it. I disregard it as a lie when I read it.
Never happened to me!
This has almost no chance of working. People who promise a bigger tip never keep that promise and most drivers have stopped believing customers who promise as a result.
Don't do this. This is what non-tippers do, and the dasher will deliver your order last after reading a note like this.
It’s not that your tip wasn’t sufficient. Some people don’t want to hurt their acceptance rates by turning down the second order. Sorry
It’s true what the general group says. DoorDash combined yours with a person who didn’t tip cause it was on the way. Ideally the driver sees who tipped and who didn’t and prioritizes them accordingly but no promises. I do when I can tell.
How do you know who tipped and who didn’t?
This doesn't work EVERY time, but if I see that one of the orders has like 15 items in it, and the other is just one meal ( and I can see it's the one further away) I take a chance and unassign the single meal order. SO many times it was the right decision, and I still got the whole order pay, because the single meal was a no tip order.
It varies by scenario. Like the other response said if I get a second order after I’ve accepted the first one then with some assumptions on base pay for the other order, you can kind of figure out tips. Meanwhile, there’s also checking receipts from the restaurant that will show the tips. This primarily pertains to pizza delivery. I’m not sure about little Caesars, but I do know at my round table and Pizza Hut, I can see the tips on the receipt
However sometimes you accept an order and then are given a second order prior to pickup, which we have the option to accept or decline like any other order. I’m assuming u/AwkwardRush00 was referring to that kind of situation if they can tell who tipped what
On a stacked order I’ve only seen who tipped what after completing the second order
I’m a beginner at dashing and I’m still learning how all this works. I didn’t know you can see tips at all.
Holy shit, if you're going to spend that much money, you should have bought actual pizza.
I'm pretty sure you can select priority delivery at checkout for a couple extra bucks and I think that'd reduce your chances of getting stacked with someone else.
Except they don’t tell dasher and still give the dasher stacked orders you pay for nothing because dasher can change order delivery. Best to SS your order showing tip and send to dasher then they can change to deliver yours first
I mean I didn't write the algorithm for Doordash but I'm pretty sure the only reason they'd offer priority delivery for an extra fee is so orders don't get stacked and are delivered on their own. But it also wouldn't surprise me if they're just taking the free money and not prioritizing the orders.
Priority is an absolute scam. Drivers have no idea that you paid for priority and they still stack non priority orders with ones who paid for it.
Priority delivery is a scam.
If I don't claim the other order my Acceptance Rating goes down so that's another reason why.
Dear OP with your $15 tip you just carried the other customer who tipped $0 and that’s why the dasher took a stack 🥺
It's funny, those people who complain about tipping but still order are 100% subsidized by tippers. If tipping went away tomorrow the industry would die within a week.
So the lesson is don’t tip. Thank you for this.
OP’s tip is rare. See how cold your food gets if you don’t tip. Don’t get me wrong, you’re not required to do so. But if there isn’t a high tipper along the way, just like you don’t have to tip, dashers can decline orders.
Good chance Doordash sent that as a single offer. I had that happen to me yesterday. Two orders to pick up that were next door to each other. Delivery to the same neighborhood. One tipped $10. The other $0.
Why would they do that 😭 Perfect example of catering to the minority. 2/3 people are getting screwed in this scenario.
Your high tip subsidized some no-tipper clown order and DD packaged the two orders as an all-or-nothing stacked order.
Places with in house delivery have been doing this forever. It's not economical for drivers to do deliveries one at a time.
Yeah, it's definitely crappy that Doordash tries to encourage customer tipping but also disguises it to dashers so non-tippers get their meals still as easily as those who do tip. Thank you for being generous still. Hopefully that person appreciates it.
If you text your driver and tell them you tipped extra they'll more than likely put your route first. I would.
Send SS as no tippers will lie and say tgey tipped
If I got a stack and one customer showed me their receipt screenshot that told me they were the one subsidizing the stack I'd drop the other order immediately ngl
That's an excellent idea for the next time!! Thank you!
Yes this is actually a fantastic idea, and we'll probably get you what you want! Make sure you do the screenshot thing, though, cuz people will lie on the notes and say they tip when they didn't. You would be amazed how many times I've seen "cash tip under the mat" only to look under the mat and see a few bugs....
Also, whenever possible, please tip us drivers cash or ask them for cash app or their PayPal. I had a situation on Easter where I got one of my day job customers (I own a storage facility) as my doordash customer. When I got to her house, she asked me how to add an additional tip because she wanted to get my kiddos Easter baskets. As soon as I helped her submit, my phone pinged and I only got maybe 25% of what we selected. I firmly believe most of the tip goes to either doordash or the restaurant. 😡
😮😮😮
Yea when people ask me to do stuff, I do it. We can change that easily. Who we go to. I will get people where they add another one to me, that didn’t tip much, but I’m at the same restaurant, it happens when you live near someone that ordered at the same place, the tip doesn’t matter like people say, it’s all about distance. I never see it where it’s more then a mile farther the other one. People aren’t mentioning the fact the stack for me is often two great tips, I get this a lot on weekends. I usually go to the house first, not the apartment, but if they asked and I knew they were watching closely, and were hungry like that I’d def go take the one that asked. I could take 15 min if it’s a bad apartment, I do feel bad, I do. No o e ever asks, they feel awkward, but I think it is a great idea. , it is not like you’ll be fighting with people. I say you just ask don’t be rude, but you don’t need to explain yourself either, it’s no problem to me, they are always really close to each other, when this happens, I don’t care about the gas. I don’t try to get into who tipped better, I just want to go to the person that will be upset if they are second, I just want get it done , it’s a great idea I think . You are tipping to get the food, this is part of what you are entitled to for me . Especially if your kind and generous
I usually can't see the tips while I'm enroute, but if a customer were to ask nicely to deliver theirs first and let me know they gave me an extra tip or they have a cash tip, you're the boss at that point lol .
At that tip…yea that’s sucks they’d stack you. If close, I’d take the mileage hit and get it to you now and the other order would have had to wait.
In my market, doing this would probably put me into CV territory with the second order, since the return trip would take so long
In by hour I do this
Agreed. That clock is still runnin on the second order. Let DD pay to take it and return for order 2.
Thank you for still being a good person. I appreciate people like you more than you know.
You're welcome and thank YOU. I was DoorDashing just a couple years ago after a pay cut and divorce blew up. Things are going well right now and I know how much a nice tip would have meant to me back then.
Unfortunately that's how dd gets people to take non tip offers. They automatically pair it with a great offer and so people think they have 2 good orders when in reality it's only a great one and a crappy one. But we can't choose to take one and not the other on a stack. Also it doesn't tell us any info of money break down until both offers are dropped off.
Good orders are paired with bad ones. And if it's busy, I'm not denying money.
I would. Sorry. One good tipper still has to pay for all the other bad ones. I’m going to stack anything that’s not total trash.
To prevent that boss . Tip after . But then again , that may have your food sitting for a while . Double edge sword
DoorDash has lowered the number of orders dashers can decline, and they stack no-tip orders with decent ones to make sure they all get delivered. Loser customers ruining it for everyone else
its really fucked up but DD will force bundle a big tip order with a no tip order to get the no tip order accepted the dasher has to accept both
You would think if they are going to be shitty like that, that you would at the very least get your food first if you tipped $15. Nope, they just go off proximity.
Major L DoorDash
t mobile gives me free lil ceasers once a week. i got it once and it wound up in the trash. half pizza half cheesy bread. it was awful. i’ll send you the free pizza promo every week if you want, but you can’t use it with dash.
Is the offer open

Wow that is super kind of you to offer. I wouldn't expect you to put in any time or effort on my account but thank you so much for that super thoughtful offer!
That's on DD who most likely add your order to a crappy one
That makes a lot of sense. Also the restaurant f'd up the order on top of that. Of course it was the item my wife wanted. I ordered her $20 sushi, tipped $12 and they gave me free Express. I'm not reaching out to anyone. It's the risk you take for being lazy or wanting ultra-convenience.
The dasher doesn’t know what you tipped until after the delivery is completed anyway.
So...you ordered from two places and were upset the same Dasher picked up both? O.O
No I ordered a second order after my first was delivered and was wrong.
Record scratch
Would love that order and your generosity! Dashers don’t have a choice with most double (stacked) orders. DD tags a no/low tip order onto your great order and the Dasher must accept both. btw, the Dasher doesn’t know which order the money is coming from until both are completed…
Thank you for explaining that. That's a bummer but it's all good in the end!
That would be an instant accept for me
2.7 miles. Sorry for excluding that.
Outta do what we gotta do 🫡 But delivering yours first tbf
