When it comes to avoiding traffic, I’ve found that using real-time navigation apps like Waze can give you an edge — especially if you’re open to taking side streets… Just be mindful of how they can sometimes lead you into less familiar areas. How do you all feel about those apps?
I’ve noticed that really engaging with customers at the drop-off can boost tips significantly. Just a quick chat or a smile might make their day, and it shows you care. What’s your experience with this during busy delivery weeks?
I totally agree that a little chat with customers makes a difference! Plus, using real-time tools can help avoid those congestion headaches. Do you think it’s all about location too, @Guide?
I’ve found that a personal touch goes a long way — sending a quick message before drop-off can make customers feel special. Have you tried that, @thompson_jay72?
A follow-up text can work wonders! I’ve tried messaging customers right after they place their order, and it definitely helps. Have you seen any difference with that approach, @thompson_jay72?
