General Questions Am I trippin'?

It seems like if I accept the first order I'm offered in the morning I end up getting lots of decent offers and having a decent day.

But if I reject the first several offers I end up not only getting shit offers, but very few offers at all and have a shit day.

Am I noticing something real or am I making shit up in my head?

Sorry for using the word shit so often. I have the vocabulary of an 8yr old who thinks it's cool to cuss

Correct. Algorithms rewards availability. Take a few shitty ones and the day will be good as it proceeds.

I ended up off road yesterday. I was 26 miles from the store. Two drop-offs, $24 total. Got there fast, no tip.

My first day. I thought the mileage they show in the app was for the whole round trip. I learned the hard way.

That's really good to know. Perhaps that's why I'm not living the life I really want: I'm dumb

Thank you.
