I just wanna put this out there because you may not know how things work on our end. I’d love to be able to take every order I get that comes to my phone, but here’s the thing. Gas prices have gone up quite substantially as you may know. Not only is gas the cost of doing this work. It’s the wire and tear on your car driving back-and-forth up to campus puts a lot of wear on your tires, brakes, etc. In 2024 when I first started doing this, a student slid around the curve on Coolidge heading up to college 10 and he totaled my car🚘💥 🚙 After that, I went on hiatus for a bit thinking it wasn’t maybe the right side work but decided to give it a try again in 2025. This is my side hustle to help put food on the table for my family. I know my situation is different from other drivers, but I think I can speak for all of us. There were not just out there doing this to have fun. If you’ve been inside Taco Bell or McDonald’s on Mission Street in the evening/nights, then you know how busy you can get in there. Taco Bell especially is insane.😳 DoorDash or GrubHub isn’t going to tell the consumer that the delivery fees don’t all go to the driver. It goes to them. We basically survive off of the tips. Next time you place an order, please consider just adding that extra dollar or two for a tip. It really does help us bring you better service. If you made it to the end, thank you for reading this.
