What delivery method do you prefer ? I switch between scooter on bolt and E bike with Wolt..for some reason there are hardly any orders when on motorcycle mode with Wolt..Bolt on motorcycle pays about 30% extra compared to E bike with Wolt ..E bike has the benefit no fuel costs but repairs and maintenance are expensive..and it keeps me in 1 or 2 zones in the city but on a motorbike the orders are not consistent enough and can end up on the outskirts of the city having to ride back towards the centre for another order..

We’ve had it for over a week now. Constantly showing medium or high, high during peak hours like 1-3pm and 7-9pm but there’s almost no orders. As in multiple couriers standing around at hot spots and waiting for a miracle.

What’s the purpose of this? lol

Just had a restaurant worker completely ruin my mood today while I was trying to hit my daily target.

I went to the restaurant to pick up the order. I walked in, they asked for my bag, and I put my delivery bag on the floor while I reached for the pizza, the worker completely ignored me, then came over with the pizza and started bossing me around, telling me to put my bag on the table. It already felt unnecessarily rude, but I kept my cool and did as he said.

Then he started checking my personal Wolt bag without saying anything. I let that slide too.
After that, he started telling me to flip my bag around. When he tried putting the pizza in himself, he was struggling because it wasn't fitting properly. I politely explained that I normally put it in this way so the pizza doesn't flip during the ride.

Instead of just listening or explaining what the actual problem was, he started getting aggressive and yelling at me to flip the bag his way. I tried explaining again that I know how to pack the orders safely, but he kept insisting and eventually threatened not to give me the order.
That's when I just stopped arguing. I was about to contact Wolt Support because this was getting ridiculous.

Then suddenly, he backed off and gave me the pizza and I showed him how I normally pack it. When I put the pizza in the way I know works, he told me to take it back out.

This time, I didn't back down. I had already explained why I pack it that way, and I'm the one who has to carry it during the ride. I wasn't going to keep taking it in and out just because he was ordering me around. I know how my own delivery bag works.

I chose delivery work through Wolt partly because I wanted the independence of being responsible for my own work.

We're supposed to work together to get the food to the customer safely. There's no reason to treat drivers like they're beneath you or like they have to blindly follow every command.

The whole thing could literally have been solved by just communicating like a normal person.
