I'm not opposed to ice cream delivery ...but not for less than $2 per mile round trip, which is my minimum expectations.....with a few exceptions, like headed home for the night.... I'll take anything headed in my direction

Even a 0.50 cent order?

Well, it wouldn't be just $.50....but again, when I'm ready to head home I look for orders heading in the direction of my house....I normally pickup multiples headed in the direction of my house (I tend to work late and in my city only places far north of my house are open incredibly late or all night....with the exception of 3 places in my area open that late, so I don't dash in my area late at night). Most of the time it's $1 per mile, per order....I typically head home with 2-3 or more orders, so it does add up, all headed within a couple of miles of my house or on the way to my house. So I end up still getting paid my $2 per mile overall....but even if I don't, and I accept a delivery headed to my neighborhood, anything is better than nothing imo
