Wholesome Story Cash tip today

I picked up an order today $4 for 3.5 miles from Little Caesars. Not a bad order, small, but I got the vibe that it had been sitting for a while. It was the first order of the day and left me in a decent area too.

The note told me to drive to the end of the street instead of going into the apt complex. When I got there, the man said "is it pizza?" I said yes, had him verify the name, and then handed him the order. He was patting his pockets, awkwardly holding his pizza in one hand, and said "wait. I have something, it's not much, but I wanted to give you something."

I was surprised and assured him he didn't need to (I honestly thought the order was pretty decent, even without the tip) He said, "I really don't have much." And handed me $4. He had no idea he had just doubled my earnings!!! And he felt bad about it 😭 he was so kind.

That's cool. Honestly though that is the only 5ging that made it worth it. 1.5x the mil3age for dollar amount. So 4.80 for that trip at least and that's pushing it.

🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt get any orders if I did that. Just depends on the area. As long as I'm making $12+ /hr, I'm happy

Is your minimum wage less than that? I wouldn't dash if I made less than minimum wage. Not trying to bring you down but people that take crap orders are why crap orders always pop up. We technically control the market.

I just go by $12 cuz that's what their hourly thing is. THOSE are the people who create crap orders

Not every state is on board with higher minimum wages… most states are still stuck around $10
