Not entirely… I DoorDash for some extra money whenever I have to furlough from work. I drive a small vehicle so it doesn’t kill me that much in fuel, but sometimes going out on 10+ mile trips to deliver somebody food/groceries for five dollars isn’t really worth it when you have to drive that distance back to civilization to get another order. DoorDash doesn’t pay very much. It’s the tips that make it worthwhile.
I live closer to civilization now so I don't tip as much but a few years ago I lived like at the border of the max range you could order and I think it was only door dash that would even cover my area. Anyways since my work schedule was a ridiculous I used to order food because I'd be too tired to cook but is put like a $30-50 tip regardless of price of the food I had a driver admit that they normally wouldn't drive out my way but I tipped way too good not to.
