The dasher app is coded to drop you from contention for higher paying orders if your average rating is less than 4.7 stars.
Idk who even needs to hear this but seems like an important thing for anyone using doordash to know.
PSA+: Uber drivers get fired once they drop below a 4.5-4.7 Don’t remember exactly. Do the same for them (and Lyft!) please
Car smells bad or they were bad at navigating? Fuck it, 5 stars. They were racist, creeping on women they drove past, or bragged about being deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq? I give them a 1 star and report them to Uber/Lyft for a made up reason
I had an uber driver almost get into a head-on collision. Still gave five stars.
Also, hear them out when they start talking about unhinged conspiracy theories. It costs you nothing, makes your driver happy and gives you a funny story to share with your friends.
My last Uber driver told me we’d reaches the apex of human technology three times already but we lost it all due to human arrogance. My friend who was riding with me thanked me for handling the small talk and of course I took the praise, but I actually loved every second of that conversation. At least the topic is more interesting than the weather or what someone does for work.
