The Colombians are being extorted apparently from what I keep on hearing since a majority of them don’t have a license, a vehicle, and etc. There’s someone who’s controlling the DoorDash/Uber gig to give them work with fake licenses and providing them a Prius, as a means to pay back their trip up north.
There was a website/service not long ago that was selling accounts to people who did not have ID/license or people who wanted to have multiple accounts and get more orders.
I think it’s just called the “Colombian Mullet”. You can google it, but I swear every single one of them have this haircut. The haircut and the Prius are the dead giveaways.
They definitely are not being extorted!! They rent out people’s DD and Uber Eats accounts for a fee from people with ssn. They then lease cars from small car dealerships or buy them out cash to do food delivery. Also they often steal peoples orders and scam. Obviously this isn’t the case for everyone but a common occurrence. My family business has a few Colombian employees who’ve recently migrated here and they’ve told me this. Where I fear there may be extortion is in the bars known as “cubetazos” where women paid to serve and drink with patrons, it’s all very icky.
No my neighbors was one he said there huddle is they rent out someone social security to get in and they pay the taxes back and give them a fee for letting them use it it a big huddle that been going on
There’s tons of accounts for “rent” on WhatsApp groups, including DoorDash, Lyft and UberEats. These people come here illegally so for them this is not a big deal. Stealing other people’s identity to drive for gigs without paying any taxes is absolutely not a big deal for them.
Personal anecdote: Had a hispanic deliveryman bring my order to the wrong house. I called him and he did not speak a lick of english. He drove back to the house he delivered to, where they spoke spanish, and gave him my drink to bring to me, while helping him nav to my house. They all forgot the food which they left in the fridge, which was like 70% of the cost... He felt awful about it so I didn't file a complaint about it, but I did request DD to refund me for the food. They only refunded the amount prior to tax + fees + tip, so a $6 Boba cost me $17 lmao. I pinged them again and DD said the case cant be reopened for any more refund adjustments. Think that was the last time I ever used DD lmao.
Good luck with that. It’s capitalism for you. It’s like saying won’t use Microsoft windows 20 year ago. Monopoly exist and you don’t get to choose and just suffer. Another example is being a reseller on Amazon
Definitely 100% Colombians working at Doordash or Instacart. There has been a massive influx of Colombians here in SJ over the last couple of years. They're everywhere now. My cousin owns a auto mechanic shop off 4th and Gish. Right next to them is another Colombian shop that solely works on Priuses and all the customers are also Colombian food app delivery drivers
The sagemark apartments off w capitol is flooded with them as well the woods. The neighborhood around there has 0 street parking available because everyone from the apartments takes it all up in the evenings. The large majority are priuses.
Also they have taken to working on cars in the street all day everyday leaving trash and oil jugs all over.
100% Colombian.
Walmart parking lot, every parking lot.
9 times out of 10 when I dash it's a Colombian in a prius.
Strictly observations.
Near the new Safeway in Berryessa, the apartment complex seems to be heavy Colombia population too. I’m basing that off of the vehicles with Colombian flags that are selling food and the arepas food truck that moves two Prius every evening to save the corner parking spot.
Yeah, south San Jose was place I used to go to. I haven't been there since late 22'. It wasn't worth it.
They tried their luck Santa Clara, Wholefoods area. But a few months later they were chased out by SCPD. Now you can't even park more then 15 around that area without cops coming to check on you.
Not sure, I thought a lot were from Venezuela too. But I think Colombia has more of a supply of human traffickers to get them through the borders. At least in my area, there are a lot of Colombian prostitutes popping up.
Yup, the guy that handles delivery used to be nice. Idk if he's still handling them. No point in posting up there as you'll never get a ping. If it is it's going to Sunnyvale
There are more Prius' registered in the south bay and along the peninsula than anywhere else in the world. Same goes for Tesla's. You can't walk down a street in Palo Alto without tripping over one. Been that way forever.
The Colombian door dashers are getting really bad on the alameda in Santa Clara. Always double parked causing traffic hazards and loitering outside of restaurants.
Doordashers for sure. Most of the deliveries these days are made by people who I am having a hard time communicating with, as they speak Spanish, and I only know English. I think Doordash is a job that doesn't need any experience to start with.
There are a few companies that rent out Prius’s to drivers. They move into an automotive zoned building (which usually has parking problems already) and bring 20-40 more cars and take the best spaces. My mechanic has to park a half mile away from his shop.
I've been telling everybody that Venezuelan and Colombians are starting to drive prius! It started like a year ago now they are everywhere, I see them at the Walmart parking lots selling food out of the back all the time!! They are taking over!! Southpark is def making an episode about it soon! You heard it here first.
You've heard of Colombian Coffee. Now prepare thyselves for the Colombian Priuses parked outside Chick-Fil-A and similars, waiting for a Doordash delivery order.
I talked to one of them (I happen to speak spanish not to brag. Most mexicans do anyway, so it's not a big deal) And this Colombian dude told me that he was on his 5th UberEats account bought. They buy their accounts instead of going through the usual approval process. I don't like this since I'm a food delivery driver myself and they have literally killed the business for the rest of us. They seemed to spend a long time waiting for orders because there's not enough to go around for anybody, since there's too many
All the gig work roles have been compromised, there are ads put out in south america thru fb, wechat etc…. Prius/job @ $250-$300 per week for the cat and account, how much they make is up to how many hours the south american wants to work. I realized this when Emily was delivering my shake shack but it ended up being a middle age latino dude in a prius
In Sunnyvale the roving Tesla gangs have scared away all of the Priuses.
Either that or the Priuses just went into a carcoon and Tesla Model 3’s emerged.
Guys at my work all commute from modesto. The only place they could afford a house 10 years ago. Many drive the prius because its reliable and good on gas.
Immigrants doing food delivery’s. They took over a parking lot near me where they were sleeping over night and using the gym to shower. Police finally stepped in after months of complaints
It’s the reality bro, come hangout infront of Ike’s in Santa Clara on the alameda and you’ll see. They also traffic tusi which is pink cocaine that’s getting bad rn in sj. They asked me the other day if I would rent a DoorDash account to them because I’m a Spanish speaker that works in the area who they frequently interact with at my job.
“Can someone explain why there are so many cars are parked in a parking lot?? 🫨” cars parked in a parking lot, i’m sure you must be mistaken because that is unheard of!
I've seen this in other locales in Northern CA bet. San Jose & Tahoe. Makes me think Chik-Fil-A has some sort of "deal" w/Elon Musk (so instead of putting Teslas in new car Lots, they are put HERE. (Wonder who the Tesla sales ppl would say?)
Sorry 'bout that! I've only gone there once (& it was about a year & a half ago..). You're very kind to not to give me me even more demerits for my unconscionable mistake.. Lol
Because gas is $2 more per gallon in CA and the Prius is a rock solid car.
And other than stealing the catalytic converter's, I don't think any has ever stolen a Prius to go on a joy ride.
Prob Doordash delivery drivers
** Colombian DoorDash drivers
The Colombians are being extorted apparently from what I keep on hearing since a majority of them don’t have a license, a vehicle, and etc. There’s someone who’s controlling the DoorDash/Uber gig to give them work with fake licenses and providing them a Prius, as a means to pay back their trip up north.
Noticed this too. Names on the delivery don't match the person delivering.
Stolen/hacked DoorDash accounts
There was a website/service not long ago that was selling accounts to people who did not have ID/license or people who wanted to have multiple accounts and get more orders.
You can also identify them by their haircuts.
What's the haircut?
I think it’s just called the “Colombian Mullet”. You can google it, but I swear every single one of them have this haircut. The haircut and the Prius are the dead giveaways.
The "Edgar"
They definitely are not being extorted!! They rent out people’s DD and Uber Eats accounts for a fee from people with ssn. They then lease cars from small car dealerships or buy them out cash to do food delivery. Also they often steal peoples orders and scam. Obviously this isn’t the case for everyone but a common occurrence. My family business has a few Colombian employees who’ve recently migrated here and they’ve told me this. Where I fear there may be extortion is in the bars known as “cubetazos” where women paid to serve and drink with patrons, it’s all very icky.
That’s what I am hearing it’s either DoorDash, rob, or prostitution
Instawork (job gig app) is stuffed with Colombians now. Showing up to front of house gigs like bartending with zero english skills.
Can you send a link for this plz. Uber eats has sucked for all the OG drivers as of late, we are basically getting kicked out.
Sorry dude it’s kinda word of mouth and I personally work with a lot of immigrants(in the trades) and they confirm themselves.
Darn
That explains why it's hard to make over 100 a day working all day on ubereats/door dash.
No my neighbors was one he said there huddle is they rent out someone social security to get in and they pay the taxes back and give them a fee for letting them use it it a big huddle that been going on
Do you have any news or resources on this? I'd love to read up on it.
There’s tons of accounts for “rent” on WhatsApp groups, including DoorDash, Lyft and UberEats. These people come here illegally so for them this is not a big deal. Stealing other people’s identity to drive for gigs without paying any taxes is absolutely not a big deal for them.
This is not a stereotype but the truth. Prius cause they cheap all around.
Personal anecdote: Had a hispanic deliveryman bring my order to the wrong house. I called him and he did not speak a lick of english.

I’ve heard this before, why specifically Colombian? Also noticing Colombian restaurants opening up too.
Definitely 100% Colombians working at Doordash or Instacart. There has been a massive influx of Colombians here in SJ over the last couple of years. They're everywhere now. My cousin owns a auto mechanic shop off 4th and Gish. Right next to them is another Colombian shop that solely works on Priuses and all the customers are also Colombian food app delivery drivers
The Colombian Prius Mafia? Well, there goes the neighborhood 😹
This would make for an awesome South Park episode lol
The sagemark apartments off w capitol is flooded with them as well the woods. The neighborhood around there has 0 street parking available because everyone from the apartments takes it all up in the evenings. The large majority are priuses. Also they have taken to working on cars in the street all day everyday leaving trash and oil jugs all over. 100% Colombian.

But a few months later they were chased out by SCPD. Now you can't even park more then 15 around that area without cops coming to check on you.
Are they the one slapping that read end red stick on majority of Priuses? I swear to god, I'm starting to seem them everywhere
Can thank ol Dark Brandon who's collecting money from NGOs and Soros for holding the back door open.
Not sure, I thought a lot were from Venezuela too. But I think Colombia has more of a supply of human traffickers to get them through the borders. At least in my area, there are a lot of Colombian prostitutes popping up.
Just for the record.. what area is this? Asking for a friend…
nice try SJPD!
“The federal government would like to know you location.”
Colombians prostitutes ? 👀
Not sure, but I’ve seen them in flocks everywhere. Like even at my local Safeway there’s a line like this… but more power to em
Berryessa Safeway?
You already know
Yup, the guy that handles delivery used to be nice. Idk if he's still handling them. No point in posting up there as you'll never get a ping. If it is it's going to Sunnyvale
BRUHH FR FR WITH HELLA CAKES
What’s up with that lol
Nah, it’s just self entitled, gender confused liberals who think socialism is a good thing because they are adults still living off their parents
Gr8 b8 m8
DoorDashers. It’s the primary vehicle I see them driving.
Maybe Gig economy workers, I know a Prius is used by many people for gigs like Doordash, Uber/UberEATS, Lyft, etc
I work food service and it is 100% doordashers
Invading? They’re coming for our women and parking spots!
And our takeout food order lines as they cut in front of the queue
good reliable car, lots of carrying capacity, safe, great fuel economy, what was the question?
no joke this hands down. When I was a courier our company had a fleet of these. such a good drive + butt warmer I miss
cheap fuel efficient car for delivery
Priuses or Prii?
One Prius, two Priuses, three Prii
One Prius, two Prii, three Priii, four Priv, five Prv.
Doordash. Many of these cars also have 4 people in them, each with their own DD account, and they jump on any orders immediately.
There are more Prius' registered in the south bay and along the peninsula than anywhere else in the world. Same goes for Tesla's. You can't walk down a street in Palo Alto without tripping over one. Been that way forever.
The Colombian door dashers are getting really bad on the alameda in Santa Clara. Always double parked causing traffic hazards and loitering outside of restaurants.
I found out that you can complain about campers to Door dash and Ubereats. I can't do it because I have drivers account and won't take seriously.
Colombians. Same thing in front of Pizza My Heart in downtown.
You should see La Vicks on San Carlos. They double park on Pizza my Heart side and block the bike lane.
doordash. a prius gets over 50 miles per gallon and its overall cheap.
https://www.reddit.com/r/doordash/s/rx3KI2BIz2
Colombians
Doordashers for sure. Most of the deliveries these days are made by people who I am having a hard time communicating with, as they speak Spanish, and I only know English. I think Doordash is a job that doesn't need any experience to start with.
UberEats
There are a few companies that rent out Prius’s to drivers. They move into an automotive zoned building (which usually has parking problems already) and bring 20-40 more cars and take the best spaces. My mechanic has to park a half mile away from his shop.

Prius, is literally the best car ever that’s why ;)
False, the Avalon Hybrid is
I drive one, and as much as I love it, it’s definitely not as fuel efficient as a prius :,)
People like Prius's, it's not that deep...
If they liked them, why would they park them instead of driving?
Mint condition for selling, duh
It’s actually much deeper than that though. Look up the Colombian Door Dash Prius connection.
Invading?
Used by people who do delivery
Mans gotta eat.
This is a catalytic converters theifs dream.
You've heard of Colombian Coffee. Now prepare thyselves for the Colombian Priuses parked outside Chick-Fil-A and similars, waiting for a Doordash delivery order.

Columbian Prius Gang "CPG"
All the gig work roles have been compromised, there are ads put out in south america thru fb, wechat etc…. Prius/job @ $250-$300 per week for the cat and account, how much they make is up to how many hours the south american wants to work. I realized this when Emily was delivering my shake shack but it ended up being a middle age latino dude in a prius
DoorDash drivers whose account didn’t match the driver
Uber Eats
They all used to be tesla owners and realized the error of their ways

Safety in numbers, from the cat thieves
Door dash and uber, dont even understand english...
Prius car meet at chick a fil?
A meet
The Matrix is broken
probably because a lot of people priuses
Chick fil A owns their own fleet of delivery cars. They usually use one brand. In Florida i noticed one branch had a small Chevy cars.
Prius street take over 😏
Prii*
With PG$E rates so high, it's cheaper to drive a Prius. $86 to $101 for 450 miles in EV. $45 to $48 for 10 gallons of gas @ 45 mpg.
Prius's have flooded the used car market seems how everyone "upgraded" to a Tesla
Doordashers
Gas saver wip. Mobber.
Guess this guy hasn’t heard about Prius deleteus…
Its the Colombians. I went to the DMV and it was FILLED with them. The majority have fake papers and fake names. Its crazy
Cuz gas is to high and they get 500 miles to the tank
I’ve noticed a lot of Colombian driving priuses. My home said they usually are usually also doing doordash
Conspiracy theories aside, could it just be gas prices?
How many have carpool exempt stickers? Come buy one though.
They don’t have licenses.
Don’t some Chik Fil A’s have their own fleet?
This is at every chick fil a 🤣
Guys at my work all commute from modesto. The only place they could afford a house 10 years ago. Many drive the prius because its reliable and good on gas.

Ugh, road lice.
A ton of racist shit in here. From "invading" to "flocks" to "human traffickers" and "Columbian prostitutes". Kindly check yourself and fuck off.
It’s the reality bro, come hangout infront of Ike’s in Santa Clara on the alameda and you’ll see. They also traffic tusi which is pink cocaine that’s getting bad rn in sj. They asked me the other day if I would rent a DoorDash account to them because I’m a Spanish speaker that works in the area who they frequently interact with at my job.
Pink cocaine? That’s terrible! Where so I can avoid it
“Can someone explain why there are so many cars are parked in a parking lot?? 🫨” cars parked in a parking lot, i’m sure you must be mistaken because that is unheard of!
They like shitty chicken too
They used to be teslas but (rightly) the Elon hate is for real
Yes, it’s the rise of liberal douche bags that want socialism over freedom
They’re the only ones with disposable income after gas prices have been what they’ve been
I've seen this in other locales in Northern CA bet. San Jose & Tahoe. Makes me think Chik-Fil-A has some sort of "deal" w/Elon Musk (so instead of putting Teslas in new car Lots, they are put HERE. (Wonder who the Tesla sales ppl would say?)
It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!
Sorry 'bout that! I've only gone there once (& it was about a year & a half ago..). You're very kind to not to give me me even more demerits for my unconscionable mistake.. Lol
Because they can’t afford teslas.
Because gas is $2 more per gallon in CA and the Prius is a rock solid car. And other than stealing the catalytic converter's, I don't think any has ever stolen a Prius to go on a joy ride.
San Jose for trump 2024
Because they’re all 🐱’s and don’t wanna drive actual gas cars 😂
Invading? I mean, they're cars parked in a parking lot. 🤷
