I've been trying out doing double-duty delivery, Door Dash and Uber Eats, at the same time.

There are a number of problems.

1) In my small town, DD still rules, there just aren't the same number of UE. Long stretches of the night will go without a single UE order.

2) Juggling the two apps is possible, but you're left hoping that an order from DD is in the same direction as one from UE. They usually aren't.

3) Because of 2), you have to choose whether to pause or go offline, which (I think) impacts the algorithm and leads to fewer orders, or less valuable ones.

4) Customers really don't like (understandably) if they see you veering off route to another store (even when its an order on the same app!) so ratings are at even bigger risk if you don't make the timings.

5) UE seems to have far fewer tips, so overall, if it werent for the $15 "quests" of extra cash to complete an order the pay is not as good.

6) This is all more stressful.

Conclusion:

I think I'm just gonna stick to DD exclusively for now unless daily totals start going down or its a super slow night.

A black food delivery bag sits partially open on a store counter. Beside it is a small brown food bag and two small brown frosty drinks.

#today hopefully the new tires will come, ordered from Tire Rack mounted, balanced & with new sensors, just have to bolt them on the Bolt and program the new sensors, and we're back in action and working tomorrow. Unfortunately I didn't get a route Fri, nor did I today, though obviously today turned out to be a good thing, so this week is going to be below income goal, might have to work the whole weekend if'n I can find work.

Trying to communicate with the PostNL bot has to be the single most aggrevating experience I've had with technology this year.

The only thing that scrap-pile of useless vibe coded junk can accomplish, is ensuring that people are furious by the time they reach an actual human being.

At #Runyon in #Hollywood I asked if she used #food #delivery apps. She responded "No, that's feudal exploitation". She's right, but left before I could offer an alternative. I'm not Big Tech. I need help getting the word out. Thx!

Chris Powers’ face at the end of this short video says it all.

It’s rather satisfying to see a human on wheels show a robot on wheels how it’s done.

Pretty sure the PO at Starship Technologies did not have “my robot as a skateboard ramp” in their threat model. Now you do.

#ICE director Todd Lyons: "We need to get better at treating this like a #business ,where this #mass #deportation operation is something like you would see and say, like #Amazon trying to get your Prime #delivery within 24 hours. [...] So trying to figure out how to do that with #human beings.”
