Should be illegal to advertise “40% off” to then charge 40% in fees. Just absurd at this point - quite literally the only reason I’m not placing the order and deleting the app lol. There’s no room to tip when the apps try to charge you $17 in fees beforehand for an average size order to a restaurant within 5 miles lmao.

If I have an order of $20, which is the minimum needed to get this promotion of 35% off my total, I should receive a discount of $7 off the total, for a total of $13 on my order before taxes and tips.

However, this promotion only applies to a discount up to $5 off my total. $5 / $20 = 25%

Why doesn’t the promotion offer of 25% off my total? A promotion that offers a discount of 35% off the total but to only ever discount 25% off seems like a lie to me, as a customer.

"Why does it say there are X comments but I don't see any?" The comment was probably removed by a mod or automoderator because it was a top level comment that was NOT a promo code. In the past, there were numerous complaints about having to scroll through hundreds of comments containing complaints and requests for code before seeing an actual code.

I recently started driving for Postmates, honestly, the tipping with ride share is horrible. I had new car, kept it clean, let pax charge their phones, loaded unloaded luggage, groceries, broke down wheel chairs, assisted getting in and out of my vehicle and very rarely would I get tipped. So to see all the tips come in on the postmates app is refreshing to me haha. I do t think I’ll be going back to rideshare anytime soon. 👍😊

Customer texts me; Do you have a problem finding the address?

Me: No, I've been hit by a car, I won't be able to deliver your food

Customer: So what street are you on? You're telling me you can't deliver it at all?

Me: I got hit by a car

Customer: Fine then, I better get a refund

I've been delivering for PM/DD/etc for a little bit now, and I wanted to see if any other young female couriers have either safety tips or experiences they'd like to share. I've been harassed & made really uncomfortable by merchants, customers, and anyone in between. Whether it's snide comments or straight up sexual advances while WORKING, I take as many precautions I can really think of while doing this job (which I love)- I only work while it's still light out (not sure I'm going to be able to keep that up in the winter), staying in suburbs and surrounding areas so delivering to mainly families, keeping my keys on me and staying alert etc. Being harassed is obviously nothing new to me, but I am definitely much more exposed and ~vulnerable~ at this job, as I'm constantly in and out of my car/restaurants, and have no coworkers or managers that have my back or someone to report to.

Most of the couriers I see in person at restaurants are men, so I just wanted to hear from any women and their experiences.

Edit: totally appreciate hearing tips or experiences from any gender! I just wanted to specify what I've experienced and wanted to invite other women specifically to share!

All drivers will be offered employment as a result.

I’ve had plenty of bad experiences with Postmates, some of them were the merchant’s fault, some the courier’s fault, some the app/system’s fault, some probably my own fault. This ordeal takes the cake.

I placed an order at 12:10PM, my Postmate arrives at the restaurant around 12:25PM. He waits around a few minutes until I notice I’ve been assigned a new Postmate, and the app says “Order was delayed at the merchant”. This new person isn’t anywhere near the restaurant and doesn’t start moving towards it. A few minutes later I’m assigned a third courier, closer than the last one but still nowhere near the restaurant.

20 minutes pass and they haven’t moved so I call to check if they want me to cancel or something. “Nah it’s good I’m on my way.” Cool.

Another 20 minutes pass and they’re still nowhere close. Now I’m assigned a fourth Postmate, who was great and got my order to me not 10 minutes after he was assigned to it. Of course, my food was stone cold at this point. I left him a generous tip anyway because none of this is his fault.

So I go to tell support what just happened. They completely ignored what I said in my support ticket, including my request for a refund. Told me “we’ll let the merchant know your comments so this doesn’t happen in the future”. Here’s the kicker: this wasn’t a merchant issue. My receipt from the restaurant says my order was ready to go at 12:30PM, 5 minutes after the first Postmate arrived.

I have no problem waiting an hour and a half and getting bounced between couriers if the order’s taking a while to prepare. That wasn’t the case here. The first guy left and let my order get reassigned when it was sitting right there. Everything after that I’ll chalk up to bad luck, but support has been utterly useless. Fingers crossed the Postmates_Help twitter helps me out here

ETA: And just as I posted this, Postmates_Help twitter refunded my full order plus $10. They’re great but why do I have to complain on Twitter to get the support I should have gotten thru the app...?

ETA2: I should add that I’ve lurked this sub for a loooooong while so I know how PM mistreats y’all. That’s another part of why I’m done with PM, I’ve been on the fence a while and this sealed it. All of your explanations helped a lot too, thank you!

This is my first time running into this: a customer put in an address that took me to a location of one of his other offices, but not the one he wanted me to go to (im unsure his logic.) Once I contacted him, he then told me to go to location B, which was several miles away...im new to this, but doesnt that mean i have to go to a new location and then return to my first location in order to do complete the order? I just left the food there and completed it. Basically telling the guy "make sure the address is correct next time." I feel like that's a little fucked up, but im not doing special favors for $3.00.

Another question is how will postmates handle this on my end?
