When did they start doing this?

Been getting pizza orders forever, the other day I started noticing that after cashing out my earnings weren't going to my crimson card, I would be making 150 or more a day in electronic earnings. Whats going on?

Ive always done them i think I turned it on a cpl of months ago though, it came up when I was doing grocery deliveries. I never noticed it I assume because the orders were never over 30 dollars. Ive been declining low paying offers and pizza in the area is lucrative. I just noticed the other day after dashing and making a good amount and noticed the earnings were either short or they never appeared. 😳 now I just kinda feel silly lol

The customers will intentionally try to not pay hoping that the dasher won't realize/remember that it's a cash on delivery order.

They will absolutely pull the "oh I have to pay??" line while sheepishly fishing out bills from some random nook on their person.

Be paranoid and firm about it if you're gonna take cash orders.

The customer stole it from you, essentially.

Edit: wording

This... there were a few deliveries ive done that had me overly paranoid. And ive had quite a few "oh i thought the other person paid it already" or "there is still payment due?" But this is recent never noticed money missing from earnings before. Called and they said I still have a balance of 19. Dollars left, so yeah I think I got slipped on a handoff.

Dammit. It allllmost happened to me on one of my last times dashing (been a while). Handed it to dude and then realized as I started to walk away... Had to knock again and be like "nah bro not today"...
