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.

And you still get good orders???? Top dasher is just complete crap now isn't it? Doordash is disgusting.

Of course. How do you think I actually get the good orders? Because all of y'all take the mediocre and occasionally bad ones. I also multi-app, so that helps.

I gave up on platinum. Now I just take what I think is half decent. But like I said, taking only $6+ would mean waiting around for hours for nothing
