Do you enjoy your job?

In this blog, I will tell you if I enjoy my job. I work for Doordash, delivering food and other items to people that order the items through the Doordash app.

It is gig work which means I can do the job when I want to do it, so that is awesome. So I usually do it at night with my sister. We usually only take runs (the completion of picking up the items at the restaurant or Dash mart and taking it to the customer) that are equal miles for cash. If their house is 7 miles from the restaurant, we want 7 dollars or more for the run. That is only fair. Gas doesn’t grow on trees. There are a lot of people that expect us to do a run for $3 and have to go 8 miles. We will not take runs like that because it is not worth the time doing the run.

Another drawback, is doing the job in the rain because it is outside and we are required to take pictures of the address and the food. Dashers (what we are) have been known for taking off with the food or items, which is complete bologna. We would never do that, but since some Dashers do. They make us take pictures of the food at the address, plus the customer can find it easier. When we take pictures of the food at the address, since it is outside, the phone gets wet, which is a problem. So when it rains hard, we stop doing doordash for this reason. Last year, on March 1st, it snowed and we got off after we finished the run we were on. It was coming down pretty hard.

For the most part, the job is good. It helps me pay for the car I drive so it is awesome. In conclusion, I like my job and find it enjoyable. Thank you for reading.
