I’m beginning to see a pattern. Rainy Saturday=bad day. I literally had one decent ping 8 am to about 3 pm, at which point I just went home with my whopping $13. Maybe one more could have been taken, but I didn’t like the area it was taking me. The rest were garbage.

I don’t know what it is about Saturdays that make them really slow here. But add rain - and it’s DEAD. Logically speaking, it should pick up on rainy days, and it does on weekdays. But the rain+Saturday combo is the kiss of death.

I spent $30 on coffee/snacks/lunch, earned $13. I’m such a great businesswoman! 😂

Need to run a Black Friday sale just for you…

I did my usual $$$ on Saturday although there was a ton of low offers between the lunch and dinner rush.

I have seen you on here Ms. Mercenary but I am not sure what area you work in. I go out over an hour from where I live to work and I also work all day, i mean all day, and I switch up my core. I work one core for breakfast, one for lunch and half of dinner, then another core the other half of dinner. Rain is not a problem for me because me core has a lot of college and universities, in addition to a bunch of upper middle class and well-to-dos who refuse to walk outside when it rains. So I was popping non-stop yesterday. I think you need to consider where your delivery platform allows you to go and then seek a different core with the expectation to not be afraid of journeying so far from home.

Oh, I’m not afraid to journey away from home. I just have a few health considerations that limit me in climbing stairs or driving in the dark extensively. So I keep it pretty local. I work all day, too. But I also follow my gut. Yesterday - I just saw it - was not gonna happen. So I went home.

Rain — hahaha — come try driving snow with 30mph winds at 1°F. And the silly people still say “Leave at door”

what is 8 am I don't remember ever seeing that ... I thought the day starts at 10

Mine starts around 4. 😂

It takes me exactly 2 hours to drink my coffee. This has been tested by decades of early mornings when I was young enough to stay asleep. After I wake, I need exactly 2 very quiet, very liesurely, very mellow hours with 24 oz of my own version of latte in a bone china mug.

Then I can start getting ready for whatever Ineed to do.

But those 2 hours are sacred and if I am interrupted, there WILL be bloodshed and severe pain in the groin area.

It’s possible this is the primary reason such a lovely being as I am is single.

This is the first year I decided to stay in Florida the next 6 months so this was my first ever week doing DD in Florida.

Too soon to say for certain but so far, same as NY, nothing really much different. Same game - different location!

Yeah, and they don't come out to get it until you've turned the corner.

 

[Grubhubflub]

Every time you do that, you put excess wear on your car and eat into your driving profits. If that's what you have to do to make a lot of money driving, you might as well just stop driving.

It's like a daily self inflicted ass whooping !!

Yeah. Phyuk Saturdays. Weekends used to be the best time to deliver, until these companies figured that out. Now, weekends are when they cut into our pay the most.

Tell Guido to move back to his shore house while you’re away. I need more Bennys here. 😂

Try delivering ice cream when it’s 115 here in Vegas 😉

That’s why I have a freezer in the car.
I still haven’t figured out what to do with a hot fudge sundae though. Lol

I don’t do Ice Cream unless it’s part of a restaurant order. I too have a fridge+freezer in the car, but I don’t even bother firing it up unless the tip is substantial. And it almost never is.

I used to take ice cream cakes (those usually tip well once they see the freezer - and I made sure they did), but the local Carvel owners are really rude so I decided their Willy the Whale crap is not worthy of my delivery service. They’re a decline now.

Rita’s Ice is annoying because of the entitled assholes who want one item delivered 10 miles for $2. It’s not Insulin, they can do without.

And never been to a ColdStone Creamery. I don’t have a reason why, I’ve never tried them, but I have a bad gut feeling about them.

Ice cream orders are good because they're always ready.

I rarely see any worth the trip. People don’t seem to think it’s difficult to deliver ice cream and only tip a couole of bucks. Starbucks tips more and is easier to deliver.

Not Baskin Robbins. But the niche shops do well.
