V016 | DoorDash + Shipt Ride Along - Heat, and a Big Decision

Back at it on a Monday in Mount Pleasant, trying out some new strategies after what I learned from my last video - and the heat had other plans. Triple-digit temps turned today into a battle between melting groceries, manipulated "plus" orders, and figuring out which $6 runs are even worth taking. If you've ever wondered what 100° actually does inside a delivery trunk, you're about to find out. Today's run covers heat-related order struggles, a breakdown of how DoorDash's "plus" order system actually works behind the scenes, a clarification on large orders vs. catering that a lot of viewers ask about, and a big decision about where I'm running tomorrow. 📱 Apps I Use: DoorDash, Shipt This channel is about showing the real ups and downs of gig work - tag-teaming with my wife, one car, clean multi-apping, no dirty stacking. Good days, bad days, all of it. 💬 Let's Talk: Have you ever had food/groceries ruined by extreme heat during a delivery? Do you think DoorDash should be required to disclose when they're adding money to "force" a plus order? What's your cutoff temp for refusing triples or big shops? Anyone else considering switching markets because of low local pay? If you're new here, consider subscribing - I post regular ride-alongs showing the real numbers and real struggles of gig work in a small Michigan market.
