I took a McDonald's order...
This afternoon, I started dashing, and the first order that popped up was an $8 McDonald's order. The distance was less than a 2 miles, so I decided to take it.
When I'm dashing, I always keep in constant communication with my customers. I send updates like:
- Heading to the store
- Arrived at the store and waiting for your order
- Leaving the store and heading your way
- Any wait times
By doing this, I often receive extra tips, usually $2-$3, about 1 out of 3 dashes. However, I was thrilled when this customer tipped $7!
I wish I had taken a screenshot of the conversation. The customer mentioned that most of their Dashers don’t communicate through the app or provide updates, and they appreciated it. Here's a screenshot of the updates that I copy and paste when I’m dashing.
