I have pax call for a ride and all they want to do is hit the drive thru, there and back. Some of these trips aren't that short, either. This happens at all hours, but more often late at night. Some buy me food, some don't. Some tip, some don't. Some end up paying $250 to clean my car after they make a mess. I warn them "Dallas has potholes" but they all think they won't spill. All around, it pays to keep customers happy, even when some are stingy pikers that don't buy me a burger, or skimp on the gratuity.
If I did this full-time, I'd probably never have to buy food. Some nights, I could eat a half-dozen meals at Whataburger, if I accepted every offer. Ladies ask me to join them for dinner last Friday. I almost accepted. Almost. She gave me a $5 tip anyway.
The only thing I ask is that they don't eat tacos in my back seat. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, fails to make a mess eating tacos while bouncing through Dallas potholes.
