Today was my first day driving for Uber Eats. My GTI’s a two-door, so I can’t drive for regular Uber or Lyft.
Why?
I have near-crippling credit card debt between myself and my wife. It’s not like we bought tvs or leather couches, we just used our credit cards to buy groceries and gas or repairs to cars; next thing you know, $100 here and there becomes $500-$1000, and then your $12,000 limit is maxed out.
So, instead of complaining about it and getting bummed out about things, I started looking for a second job. I figured I’d do the Uber Eats thing until a steady second job comes up, like retail or customer service.
I made two drives earlier, one of them stiffed me on a tip. Bunch of goddamn savages in this town.

Hopefully that gives you a bit of extra pocket change! And drive gently! Haha.

I really hate tipping, but I do it, albeit, begrudgingly .

I understand that we have to tip in the states, and I usually tip well, but it was really refreshing not being expected to tip 20% in foreign countries.

I had a similar job a long time ago while I was trying to kick start my career . Here’s some stuff I wish I knew when I started:
1. Get a couple of those giant plastic storage tubs from WalMart/Target. It reduces the chance of spills & stains.
2. Keep a roll of paper towels and spray-on carpet cleaner in your car. You will spill something at some point.
3. ALWAYS. COUNT. YOUR. ITEMS.
4. K eep a ru nning mental log of the more popular restaurants and their various nuances . You will hear stories from the other drivers you’ll encounter.
Good luck, hope things work out.
Arrivederci

Wasn’t it? Would be nice if we could just pay everyone a decent wage here.
