Re: Business, Economics, and Taxes: Capitalism. Yay? >=(

This morning, I was making my usual run for Door Dash. Some people thought I would come when the order was $2, which is the app's minimum base pay. Those people don't tip. Door Dash has a "the order is too small" option when I decline, but there needs to be an "I'm risking my *** to be out here" option.

What do you get for $2? Cup of coffee and a hashbrown? I just don’t know what I would get delivered for $2 that I wouldn’t already have on hand.

Be careful hitting that too often, I'll bet if you do it enough they won't allow you to drive for them anymore.

$2 is the minimum base pay. I basically exist on tips. At McDonald's, I don't even think you can get a cup of coffee and hash browns for $2.

I don't have to hit it that often because most people aren't that cheap.

Is the order $2 or your pay for it $2? Honest question, I'm wondering how each order breaks down in terms of who gets what.

Ah, so that’s your compensation for the order. I mistook that for the total of it.

Are things pretty consistent day to day or does it get a lot busier on weekends?

Base pay of $2 is my compensation for the order. My base pay can go to $4, so basically I rely on the generosity of my customers.

Also, weekends are busier than week days. Friday and Saturday dinner rushes can pay big time.

Just show up for your deliveries armed to the fuking teeth! Watch the tips flow in when you're on the doorstep with full body armor and a few grenades strapped to your uniform.

If the order total is $2, does that mean you get the $2 and the app gets none? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be "oh poor app" because you getting $2 for the time it takes is still ****ty, just wondering.

Nope, MT isn't a cis straight white person, so her being armed goes from "freedom loving citizen" to "dangerous terrorist".

$2 is basically what Door Dash pays me for the run. However, I've seen people order $40 worth of food and not tip a penny.

And Rover, I'm a white trans girl. While I am considering buying a gun, French Rage is right. Showing up with an automatic and grenades means I'm marked a terrorist.

Only brown people can be terrorists.

Seeing a transwoman with a rifle may make their head explode. They won't know whether to hate you because you're trans or like you because you have a gun.

Got an email from a brewery I'm a member at (for those that know me, no not THAT one, the other one )

They offer curbside only now, can't even step into the taproom. They've said they've gone from 200~ crowlers/week (25oz can) to over 2000 crowlers/week. They have basically turned the whole brewery into a manufacturing floor. That's some good news. Granted, I'm sure it's still a downturn in business, but a good sign that they will survive this.

We made a run to Pulpit Rock and Toppling Goliath in Decorah today. It was pretty quiet for. Friday. No one else was in Toppling parking lot waiting for them to bring our purchases out. Pulpit had maybe three cars in the drive through line.

Wait until May. They just had their Assassin Lotto (I didn't win ). There should be a somewhat steady stream of cars, at least on weekends.

The main brewery I go to has had a steady stream. Most are delivering now, where they didn't before. Keeps employees on the payroll, and keeps customers happy.
