Most of us have changed up out strategy during this crisis and put driving passengers as a secondary option, I'd be interested to see earning postings from other platforms to see which platform is working out best for everyone else. For me it's Amazon flex, I got lucky to be able to get into their platform around Thanksgiving time, what I do now is go to Whole Foods (usually the Wheaton location) and wait for an instant offer. The base is usually $15 plus tips, with tips I've made more than $60 an hr at times. I started doing Uber eats but that's much more of a grind than this imo. Anyways here are some of my earnings from that, let's see some other platforms..

I dont have as much data because i just started, but your flex numbers look very similar to my instacart experience.

I did a few deliveries to a Dell Web community. These folks have some money. And have been very nice, and tip well.

Here's an interesting thought. When an uber wants a ride with groceries they might not tip. But, they load and unload the trunk themselves. When i instacart, i feel i earned the tip. When i uber, i realize, i didn't really do anything extra.

Carrying groceries is work. But so is staring at stoplights and brake lights, watching for pedestrians, applying brakes smoothly, turning gracefully, etc. Driving is mental work, but it is still work.

I'm not saying our services aren't worth tipping. I was trying to make a point that the uber trip was a lot less effort. Driving is work, but three days of shopping and my back and knees are stiff. That doesn't happen when i just do the driving.

Besides, i usually get out to load and unload the trunk at the curb so i can get away faster. Mom might take two bages in each hand, but I'm able to grab 5 or 6.

I take it as a chance to stand up and stretch.

Beemer come on. You earned a tip every single ride.

Not every trip, i admit. But when i get off my butt and help with the bags, most times i get a couple of bucks.

Would listing your Instacart referral codes break TOS here? Might look into it.
...or send a message through "start a conversation" to those who request it. I do.

Probably. Check your pm
