this is some good info

do you worry about ware and tear on your car? im sure yo do way more miles than ever
do you do uber or lyft? the one where you pickup passengers
does it piss you off when someone doesnt tip?
have you ever eaten someone else's food? >_>

Yeah wear and tear is always a concern. I try to drive as easy as I can. Gotta keep up on maintenance and all that. I can do around 200 miles a day over 8-10 hours.

I used to do Lyft before covid and I liked it. Stopped completely due to covid and won't ever consider doing it again until I'm vaccinated at the very least.

I do UberEats also on the side when GrubHub isn't sending me orders so I can always stay busy.

It definitely pisses me off when people don't tip. It's the same people too. I will give them zero hint of friendliness if I see them in person, but the vast majority of deliveries are no contact. GrubHub sometimes adds good bonuses to no tip orders though because people won't accept them. Those still annoy me, but you can't argue that it pays bad at that point.

I basically accept every order I receive and it tends to work out pretty well. I've experimented with rejecting a bunch of orders and being picky or even just rejecting some, but this way works better. It seems like the algorithm tends to treat people with high acceptance rates more favorably over the long run with the super well paying orders here and there. If I get 2-3 orders that pay out at $20-25 each in a night then then that tends to keep my hourly earnings up pretty high as long as the other orders paid ok and were completed in a timely manner.

One of the biggest frustrations is restaurants who don't have the food ready in a somewhat reasonable time. I've waited 20-30 minutes at restaurants before. That stuff really stings, because I'm not compensated extra. Getting in and out of restaurants super fast is a big deal.
