Just as soon as you get used to something in Amarillo, it has to change. That is especially true when you are out delivering with DoorDash. They have had several changes over the last several weeks, and I will share all of them in the weeks to come.
The first one I noticed that really caused stress in my life for a time was the missing ‘pause’ button. If you are out delivering food, your deliveries can take you to other areas to drop off. DoorDash will then, upon drop-off, try to find you more deliveries.
The Stress of Constant App Changes in Amarillo
The problem is sometimes you don’t want to pick up in that area. You don’t want to necessarily get stuck there picking up and delivering. You want to get back to your familiar area. Your normal area may have better restaurants to deliver from as well, so you don’t want to get stuck in different areas of Amarillo.
The Case of the Missing Pause Button
All you had to do in that situation was toggle a little button that said to pause on delivery. That pause button was easily found on the main page after you accepted an order. Then all of a sudden it was missing in action.
So my only option was to hurry to a screen where I could pause the dash as soon as I dropped off food to a customer. That wasn’t always easy because after a delivery, DoorDash wants to know how the delivery went. You either hit thumbs up or thumbs down.
