Doordash To A Motel? 🤯
That’s a first for The Silver Dasher! In this episode, I take you along on a full DoorDash day that includes breakfast and lunch dashes, hospital and hotel deliveries, Dollar General shopping orders, Starbucks runs, Chick-fil-A chaos, icy winter conditions — and yes… my very first delivery to a motel.
I’m a retired DoorDash driver sharing real-world gig economy experiences: good orders, bad orders, declines, repeats, cold weather struggles, and the decision-making that comes with working food delivery after retirement. If you’re a retiree doing DoorDash, thinking about gig work, or already delivering food, this video shows what a real day looks like — no sugarcoating.
Along the way we talk:
• Accepting vs declining low-pay orders
• Delivering to hospitals, hotels, and motels
• Dollar General shop & deliver challenges
• Cold weather dashing in winter
• Liquor delivery mistakes & lessons learned
• Why DoorDash sometimes sends orders 12 miles past another restaurant
• Acceptance rate pressure vs smart dashing
If you enjoy honest gig-economy content from a retiree’s perspective, you’re in the right place.
