At Walgreens guy claims that he delivered one candy bar to a customer once. Said he got 4 dollar tip on top of cost or the candy bar. I think that's crazy and got to be exaggerated. I mean who so lazy they order a single candy bar through Doordash?

It might not be about laziness. Maybe it was for a pregnant woman with a craving. Or a stoner with the munchies. Or someone lost a bet.

I dashed for a bit during the pandemic and I had this one older lady a couple times just order a big gulp from the 7-Eleven a couple minutes away with a $5 tip. She explained to me she ran a business from home and this was essentially a charitable act because she felt blessed in a situation that sucked for most people. Super nice lady.

Also once had an old man in a rich neighbourhood give me a $20 for a pizza that was about 5 minutes away, he said he has more money than he knows what to do with lol.

Also also, delivered some McDonald's late at night probably 1 am or something. This girl in her 20s was sitting out front hitting a bong and asked if I'd take a toke as a tip lol

It was honestly kinda fun to do on the side when I was bored and wanted to feel like I was being productive

Sounds like a very diverse clientele.
And partly fun.

I can absolutely imagine sitting around with mates and deciding to order a delivered candy bar just to see if they would do it.

Ah damn bro, I lost the bet and now have to pay for the Twix limo.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

How much can a twix limo cost? $20?

Or someone lost a bet.

I had a surprise Doordash delivery one night. Turns out my kid beat his friend on Siege so the friend had to ship him a Monster.
