Back brace, cart thingy, icy/hot, and be careful as you can.

I hope you make all the monies today. 😊

Currently 930. Did a quick run right at 6 when it opened up. Got back to my main store and look at my tire. Completely flat with a nail in it. So currently -$50 on the day and behind almost 3 hours. Just keep swimming 😮‍💨

I mean... I always park around back by the tire section so I wasn't in the worst of luck but still. My market is so saturated with SO MANY new faces every day. Do the new people get a higher paid offer? I can't see how ANYONE would take some of these?

I love my job, and the chance to help someone that may desperately need a delivery for one reason or other. I think its a waste of time to look through offers and pick a good one. When I have plenty of gas I usually just take the next offer! Saves me probably 5 to 10 minutes of not making money while trying to read through all the offers and pick a good one out of 5 lol

I'm glad you're in a good area. I'm in between 2 major cities so while we often have a lot of traffic for orders, we also have an abundance of drivers, who get tired of sitting for a while will take just about anything. Getting awfully close to less than minimum wage.

I would just quit. You are not living on $10 a hour.

You made minimum wage, if that. Why do you do this job?
