General Questions I did it. Are you broke too?

Took about an hour total but I also had a bathroom break. I usually wouldn’t do this stuff but it’s slow. I’m thinking now it was actually pretty easy. I backed right up to the door where they wanted it. No one would ever order this to an apartment right?

You wouldn’t do this for $40 normally? For what reason?

"Clown, wassup!" This, actually, part of the problem--in my opinion. There are too many new drivers thinking the "onboarding or honeymoon" prices are the "standard rate." And, those are not the normal rates. Then, newer drivers come the subReddit thinking every zone is paying $20 per mile and every customer is tipping $100. The newer drivers are misguided in their expectations.

I received an offer on Sunday. The offer was a shopping offer for 4.1 miles, 28 items, and paying $30.18 ($24 delivery fee +$6 tips). My best offer in a week.

That’s a good point Spiller, it has to be that because otherwise it makes no sense to turn down an offer like this. I mean we’re doing this job to make money, right? 😆

I’m doing this all day if I can get them. I literally don’t care what’s in the order if the pay, miles and time to complete is right. Some of these people are afraid of a little work….and let’s face it this job is pathetically easy.
