Door Dash, As a Dasher, I enjoy the work but have encountered several issues that make the experience increasingly frustrating, with little help or support from DoorDash. Maintaining a Platinum acceptance rating feels nearly impossible because of the absurd delivery requests I receive. For example: A delivery offering $3.75 requires me to drive 8.3 miles—16+ miles round trip. I decline this every time. Another offering $4.75 expects me to drive 11.9 miles, nearly 24 miles round trip. Again, I decline. These types of requests are not worth the time or gas and should never even be sent to Dashers. On Sunday, I declined multiple unreasonable deliveries within minutes, and my acceptance rate (AR) dropped from 83% to 79%. The same thing happened on Wednesday—three declines in under a minute caused another 3% drop. DoorDash promotes the Platinum Dasher program, claiming it offers access to high-paying orders, but my experience has been the opposite. Instead, I’m stuck with low-paying, high-mileage requests that damage my rating. I enjoy dashing, but DoorDash needs to improve its system to make it fairer for Dashers. These repeated frustrations are driving loyal Dashers away. Shame on you, DoorDash, for failing to support your Dashers as promised!
