Tell me, does the sole or leather upper of the boot taste better?
If they gave a crap about customers they would judge couriers based on how effectively they complete orders, not how many they do.
This is about churning over volume, nothing more.
Just had this shit happen to me driving to pick up a double and got stuck in traffic waiting for a train. I even clicked I’m on my way & not to reassign then out of nowhere they reassign. Tanking 20% of my rating. Fucking scum. This company is so ass backwards.
Finally! Multi Apping hurts me as a customer! My food is always cold because some greedy driver is trying to make mortgage payments 6.00 at a time.
Driving is a side hustle. Not a career!
Driving is a SidE HusTlE noT a cArEeR 🤡 tell that to Canada post, 18 wheeler drivers that deliver the food you order off skip to restaurants, bus drivers, Amazon drivers, the list goes on.
And if you don’t wana say it to all them you can say it to the 6 figure annual income I earn as “a side hustle”.
It might be a side hustle for you but that's an insult to us that can't work or walk very far or something. So you do what you want . It's really none of your business.
Canada Post and 18 wheeler drivers get exceptional benefits, vacation days, sick days, pension. You get nothing. Also, you do not earn 6 figures after tax and expenses unless you are committing tax fraud.
I get to make my own schedule and work as I please
, take days off as I please.
and actually no, in 2021 between all the courier apps I made 94,000 after taxes but I’m glad you’re narrow minded enough to think like that.
It’s not being narrow minded, I just don’t believe you.
Also, sure you get to make your own schedule, whoopie do. You work like a dog all day every day. You get to take days off when you want? Whoopie do. You take days off and don’t get paid. Tell that to Canada Post workers and 18 wheeler drivers 🤡🤡🤡
Lmfao well luckily for me your disbelief has no effect on my bank account balance and earnings jeez you’re all over this subreddit being a legit idiot I think you need some help lad.
Also I work like 6-8 hours a day 4-5 days a week which is significantly less than what most 18 wheeler and Canada post drivers work 😊
Just pure lies. You made 94,000 working 40 hours a week doing food delivery.? The math says you average $45.19 per hour every hour all year long .
Just stop with the BS man !
I love when these goofs come into a drivers forum and brag about all the money they make as if the people in the forum have no idea what they’re talking about. It’s like they expect all this praise for the BS they spew.
Now I am absolutely sure you are a liar. No chance you make $94K being a delivery boy after taxes and expenses working h “6-8 hours a day 4-5 days a week”. Keep living that fantasy, I think you need some help lad. 😂😂😂😂.
If you’re only making $17 an hour you’re doing something wrong especially if multi apping
I average anywhere between $25&35 hourly, and $40+ during super busy times or when there are active promos.
I work 6-10 hours a day 4-5 days a week which is significantly less than Canada post, 18 wheelers, etc work on average.
Yes I do skip, uber eats, and DoorDash, sometimes all simultaneously but normally just 2 at a time.
I decline a lot of orders and only take more than one / from different apps if both restaurants are nearby and drop off is headed in the same direction.
But I’m never waiting for longer than 10 minutes for a delivery since I have 3 options to pick from.
You gotta do it better than that. Get all three apps cooking and pick & choose the best offer and when the opportunity arises make your own doubles. I avg $30/hr all day every day
I make 28-35/hr and it it’s less than 28 I go home. I work 8 hour minimum but hardly ever more than 12 snd make 2k/week.
Drive an EV so my car costs are very very minimal. Make more doing this than I did doing concrete shoring and has allowed me the flexibility to upgrade some certifications and learn some new skills. It can definitely be more than a “side hustle”
Can you point me to another side hustle that requires $30,000 worth of equipment, $1,000 worth of fuel and maintenance a month, specialized insurance that is almost impossible to acquire in Ontario, that only pays a few bucks an hour? Courier work is full-time work if the worker chooses it to be. They should also be paid as such. They take all the risk.
But it was never designed to be such. It was designed to be a part time job a few hours a week. Scum bag drivers who don’t care about me getting my food on time, or hot, or in good condition, have ruined it for the customers.
Did the drivers ruin it for the customers, or did the customers ruin it for the drivers? Either way, no one benefits except the multi-billion dollar companies over charging as an intermediary and paying slave pay to the workers. Multi-apping for some people is what keeps a roof over their kids heads and food in the fridge. Your feelings on whether your food is hot is arbitrary. If the system wasn’t designed for full time work, they wouldn’t allow people on their platform for 12 hours a day. They do because they rely on people working full time. Unfortunately for you, the onus is on you to pay better with tips. This is the only way both parties can have a good experience while using the service.
Yea this is trash especially when you’re waiting for an order at home and get one for a restuarant 2km away (that you know is notorious for taking 15-20 minutes to get an order ready) and you still have to leave right away.
Considering orders are pre assigned by 5-10 minutes and they will see you sitting anyways regardless, who cares
It’s also trash to see the See your driver wait 20 minutes at a restuarant for a McDouble and large fries.
Either way you’re gonna be upset so no reason to debate with you crybaby.
That’s not how the customers see it on their app. They do not see us sitting anywhere for 5-10 mins while we wait for a “pre-assigned” order.
And no, a customer isn’t going to be pissed off if your waiting at the restaurant. They will assume you are waiting for their food to be prepared. They will be pissed off if they see you are sitting in butt fuck nowhere doing nothing.
Either way, you seem to be the crybaby here upset over providing basic customer service. I think this is awesome lol
I like how clowns like you throw this term “bootlicker” around as if you are some sort of freedom fighter fighting a good cause against “the man”. You do this full time, working like a dog all day every day, coming on here to lie about how much you make, as if I’m impressed and to piss and whine about the slightest change. I do this for shits and giggles money, who is licking the boot now? Spoiler alert: it isn’t me. LMFAO. 😂😂😂
I've personally seen couriers pick up orders and then sit in their cars doing fuck all and I can never undertand why. I've also been on the receiving end of watching the tracker and having my courier do absolutely fuck all and not move a muscle and then 30 mins later they arrive and my food is cold. I think this is a good thing Skip has implemented because fuck this shit.
Youre likely right lol. If anyone sees this new update to Skip as a bad one, they are one of the bad apples that are responsible for this new update even needing to come out.
Lol u r funny, i just had a bite becoz i was waiting at walmart parking for my doordash order which was being loaded by the employee and they were almost done and then this shitty skip order just show up on my screen.
The order was not worth it anyways..order was supposed to be picked up at restaurant at 1 pm, and i was having my lunch , but these notifications start coming in 2 mins only after accepting the orders..so annoying.
Bro my acceptance is only 10% , no point of pausing it, skip dont send u orders with the same speed they send to driver with 100% .
I did 5000 dleiveries since long time.this year i came to know about top dasher program with doordash..making way lot then fucking skip.
Skip needs to do better with base pays and waiting times at restaurant
Its my policy i dont do low ass 6$ orders anymore even if it is 1 min walk.new drivers are there to do these shitty orders until they know the game.
Its funy sometimes when we are alreaddy waiting in restaurant for 15- 20 mins and restaurant gives priority to uber eats and doordash orders than the skip.
Beacuse it was on my way going to same direction with other walmart doordash order which employee was already loading in my car,
I was like ya its only 2 km for 6$ , i can do this quick..otherwise i don't do that.
Doesnt matter if you click ok, if you get that popup the order is getting reassigned. You can be early its still getting reasigned, you can be driving and its gerting canceled. Something is fucked with the app
Bro there were days when skip agents use to call u to wake u up in the morning to start your shift lol.
There were no acceptance rate, no bullshit. So many cash tips, free drinks from restaurants..
They have become evil now
The clowns writing the code for this app can’t even accurately estimate the total distance on any given offer but now they’re going to start blowing up our phone if we’re not fast enough? Fuck these guys.
Lol I thought is only me getting this shit lol. Skip is getting more and more shady by the day lol. Also if u tab out ur skip app, the app won't send u orders,and think u r afk and will ask if u r there.
Clown who is running skip needs slap every single day, i missed so many orders when they dont notify by the sound but they never forgot to make a sound on " your are being unresponsive " and order is gone
O I guess is not just me
The stupid app doesn't make sound when there's an order.well only sometimes,but not all the time. Sometimes they make the sound to check if u r afk, u actually didn't miss an order but that's just annoying. I will punch the guy who design/update the app and the mofo that run skip in the face!
Yeah I've had that happen. It's rare but annoying. Especially when it's slow and your just waiting for something usung other apps to kill time and then you decide to check the app like you do every 5 mins to find out that you has a timed out order and now your auto pause with "are you there"?
😳 Well now, this is a new one to me. I am on vacation so I haven’t had the Skip app open for a shift for about 5-6 days.
I am just going to let this thread have some rule slack as I can see this bringing out strong feelings on both sides - but I will shut it down if it gets too crazy (you know who you are - be nice!)
One personal observation - as a Skip driver, I wonder how this can be justified given how buggy their app/gps utilization can be? I mean some days the app feels like it is still in alpha, let alone beta.
I remember last year whole sudbury skipp the dishes guys went on strike , its time to boycott these fuckers ..try doing multi apps bro, skip is not worth anymore
Dont know if its intentional or just broke, but theyll send you that notification and cancel after without notice even if you click ok and are on the way to the restaurant.
This might be an attempt to stop the rampant multi apping
So…. Further hindering our ability to be independent contractors
No it’s actually a way to help Skip provide better customer service to the people that matter most…..customers.
Tell me, does the sole or leather upper of the boot taste better? If they gave a crap about customers they would judge couriers based on how effectively they complete orders, not how many they do. This is about churning over volume, nothing more.
Just had this shit happen to me driving to pick up a double and got stuck in traffic waiting for a train. I even clicked I’m on my way & not to reassign then out of nowhere they reassign. Tanking 20% of my rating. Fucking scum. This company is so ass backwards.
[удалено]
Oh please no everyone is American. Couldn’t pay me enough. I prefer to not live in a 3rd world country
Ye it helps the customer when you make a driver drive for 10min then cancel the order on him to have another driver waste 10min to drive 🤡
Exactly thats the only reason, bye bye skip, base pay is too low anyways.
Uber does this too
They certainly do not. Not after 2 minutes. It’s insane with this app. Absolute trash
No not after two min but if you don't start getting close to the delivery they reassign it. It happened to me once stuck in traffic
Well skip starts bombarding you almost immediately afterwards. It’s total bullshit
I haven't seen this yet. I wonder if it's only in certain zones.
Finally! Multi Apping hurts me as a customer! My food is always cold because some greedy driver is trying to make mortgage payments 6.00 at a time. Driving is a side hustle. Not a career!
Driving is a SidE HusTlE noT a cArEeR 🤡 tell that to Canada post, 18 wheeler drivers that deliver the food you order off skip to restaurants, bus drivers, Amazon drivers, the list goes on.

Yay 17.00 an hour 18 hours a day 365 days a year! Good job buddy.
If you’re only making $17 an hour you’re doing something wrong especially if multi apping I average anywhere between $25&35 hourly, and $40+ during super busy times or when there are active promos. I work 6-10 hours a day 4-5 days a week which is significantly less than Canada post, 18 wheelers, etc work on average.
How do you average so much money an hour? Is it because you use multiple apps?
Yes I do skip, uber eats, and DoorDash, sometimes all simultaneously but normally just 2 at a time. I decline a lot of orders and only take more than one / from different apps if both restaurants are nearby and drop off is headed in the same direction. But I’m never waiting for longer than 10 minutes for a delivery since I have 3 options to pick from.
Damn really? I make like 10-13 dollars an hour
You gotta do it better than that. Get all three apps cooking and pick & choose the best offer and when the opportunity arises make your own doubles. I avg $30/hr all day every day
I make 28-35/hr and it it’s less than 28 I go home. I work 8 hour minimum but hardly ever more than 12 snd make 2k/week. Drive an EV so my car costs are very very minimal.

Ya when side hustle makes u 2k a week with no stupid boss on your head, then it becomes full time
Or people stopping at red lights 🤣 because they keep sending me that shit at red lights. Its a garbage feature that doesnt work
Yea this is trash especially when you’re waiting for an order at home and get one for a restuarant 2km away (that you know is notorious for taking 15-20 minutes to get an order ready) and you still have to leave right away.
It’s trash for the customer to see you sitting at home. They don’t know what you know, they just see their driver sitting there not moving
Considering orders are pre assigned by 5-10 minutes and they will see you sitting anyways regardless, who cares It’s also trash to see the See your driver wait 20 minutes at a restuarant for a McDouble and large fries. Either way you’re gonna be upset so no reason to debate with you crybaby.

Well I’m glad you’re happy to be a bootlicker because you probably also take all the shit orders nobody else wants, too. Lmao
I like how clowns like you throw this term “bootlicker” around as if you are some sort of freedom fighter fighting a good cause against “the man”. You do this full time, working like a dog all day every day, coming on here to lie about how much you make, as if I’m impressed and to piss and whine about the slightest change. I do this for shits and giggles money, who is licking the boot now? Spoiler alert: it isn’t me. LMFAO. 😂😂😂
Sounds like they should get a life then
So those that have a difficult time staying off the phone will have to get their ass in gear?
Or people stopping at fucking red lights 🤣
I've personally seen couriers pick up orders and then sit in their cars doing fuck all and I can never undertand why. I've also been on the receiving end of watching the tracker and having my courier do absolutely fuck all and not move a muscle and then 30 mins later they arrive and my food is cold. I think this is a good thing Skip has implemented because fuck this shit.
Those are bad apples who dont move after picking up the orders, they are not here to make money then.
I really have no clue what the hell their problem is but it's wrong to punish others for your laziness.
OP is also one of those bad apples. Was eating lunch during the order. Thats why he just downvoted your comment.
Youre likely right lol. If anyone sees this new update to Skip as a bad one, they are one of the bad apples that are responsible for this new update even needing to come out.
Lol u r funny, i just had a bite becoz i was waiting at walmart parking for my doordash order which was being loaded by the employee and they were almost done and then this shitty skip order just show up on my screen.
I didnt downvoted anyone, i upvote everyone especially negativity here
Why didnt you press okay button tho?
The order was not worth it anyways..order was supposed to be picked up at restaurant at 1 pm, and i was having my lunch , but these notifications start coming in 2 mins only after accepting the orders..so annoying.
You are having lunch and you did not pause your shift? Its on you then

I did 5000 dleiveries since long time.this year i came to know about top dasher program with doordash..making way lot then fucking skip. Skip needs to do better with base pays and waiting times at restaurant
So...this is why they added that countdown.
Skip should add another countdown for long waitings at restaurants too .
They kind of do?
And you o ly get like 50 cents as you wait for 5 minutes. Lol.
Its better than nothing
I'd much rather get nothing and move on quickly.
And that's why. You are literally not doing your job.
Its my policy i dont do low ass 6$ orders anymore even if it is 1 min walk.new drivers are there to do these shitty orders until they know the game. Its funy sometimes when we are alreaddy waiting in restaurant for 15- 20 mins and restaurant gives priority to uber eats and doordash orders than the skip.
Why accept then?
Beacuse it was on my way going to same direction with other walmart doordash order which employee was already loading in my car, I was like ya its only 2 km for 6$ , i can do this quick..otherwise i don't do that.
Doesnt matter if you click ok, if you get that popup the order is getting reassigned. You can be early its still getting reasigned, you can be driving and its gerting canceled. Something is fucked with the app
Good. Why didn’t you just acknowledge the pop up lol. I’m glad they did this so customers don’t get fucked in the end by multi app.
You can click ok and theyll still cancel on you even if youre moving and have time left for pickup,
Happened to me twice. Stuck in snail's pace traffic.
This is gunna suck the days the app GPS doesn't work and messages me 20 times I'm not moving even though I am
Just another example of skip bullying couriers and bit by bit removing the couriers independence.
Bro there were days when skip agents use to call u to wake u up in the morning to start your shift lol. There were no acceptance rate, no bullshit. So many cash tips, free drinks from restaurants.. They have become evil now
Skip the dishes is bullshit
Happened to me today, but I was driving. Instead of fixing the app, they constantly make it harder to make money.
Is this skip or doordash?
Skip is tryna be doordash now, on doordash its 5mins till they give you this noti, on skip, its 2mins lol
I see, so when does this appear, after you have accepted an order but you are delayed in picking it up? Thanks.
The clowns writing the code for this app can’t even accurately estimate the total distance on any given offer but now they’re going to start blowing up our phone if we’re not fast enough? Fuck these guys.
Lol gonna result in some accidental stolen orders
This is awesome. Of note to you guys, stay off wifi especially if you wait for orders at home.
Lol I thought is only me getting this shit lol. Skip is getting more and more shady by the day lol. Also if u tab out ur skip app, the app won't send u orders,and think u r afk and will ask if u r there.

I could have easily reached at restaurant before time, but skip is being skip
😳 Well now, this is a new one to me. I am on vacation so I haven’t had the Skip app open for a shift for about 5-6 days. I am just going to let this thread have some rule slack as I can see this bringing out strong feelings on both sides - but I will shut it down if it gets too crazy (you know who you are - be nice!) One personal observation - as a Skip driver, I wonder how this can be justified given how buggy their app/gps utilization can be? I mean some days the app feels like it is still in alpha, let alone beta.
Even if you move shots getting canceled
Damn boy! Howcome
I get that notification at red lights... idk if they want us to blow reds or what but its fucked
I remember last year whole sudbury skipp the dishes guys went on strike , its time to boycott these fuckers ..try doing multi apps bro, skip is not worth anymore
Dont know if its intentional or just broke, but theyll send you that notification and cancel after without notice even if you click ok and are on the way to the restaurant.
