How much do you make per month and for how many hours?
bicycle or motorcycle?
e-bike.
Do you ever watch WILCER? Looks exciting?
You must be in a major city with relatively short delivery distance. I am assuming you're a runner. Has the biking helped you with your running training?
What city are you in? I occasionally do DD. One thing I have noticed is new establishments that cater 100% to the order-out crowd. They will have several "restaurants" in one location with a check out counter and a bunch of delivery people standing around looking at their phones and double parked outside. Sometimes there are so many delivery people double parked up and down the street that it causes a traffic jam. That's when it's nice to be on a bike. I live in Oakland btw. This is off topic but there is a police officer in a regular uniform and a regular police mountain bike who often rides from downtown all the way up to Skyline at the top of the hill. I've seen him several times and wondered what kind of patrol he's on where he can get away with doing that. I guess he got defunded or something.
Right, some questions...
1) Approximately, how many pairs of socks do you own?
2) If a tramp flagged you down in the street and offered you $100 to lick their finger, would you? Proper licks only.
3) Who's your favourite 70s soul musician?
4) Have you ever eaten lobster? If not, why not?
5) Would you rather be a hobgoblin or an elf?

Weekly take is about $600-$800 for 25-30 hours. You can do the math for monthly. Obviously expenses are zero since i ride a bike.
On a great week I can get close to $1200
No emails. No boss. No stupid office politics. I’m outside getting exercise and fresh air. I work until I don’t feel like it. It’s a great gig but won’t last forever
Have you ever picked up food from Hooters and delivered it to a duplex where there are Hooters employees living in the residence? And they tip you well?
Have you ever not received a tip in torrential downpour?
Have knowingly damaged a food packaging item but delivered it anyways?
Have you ever delivered 4 fountain drinks at once?
Have you been doored?
Do the police let you run red lights regularly?
Have you been set up for a mugging but we're able to bail before it went down?
Have you had to pick up from a taco truck past midnight?

1) Not yet but a man can dream, right?
2) nope. Most people tip pretty well. For drivers, The app “hints” at who tips well and who doesn’t. If you see a low estimated trip payout it’s usually due to a non-tipping customer. Most drivers will reject these. So if you’re a bad/non-tipper and wonder why it takes forever to get your order, now you know. Tip your drivers people! You’ll get better and faster service even before you leave the tip.
3) Yes, especially at the beginning. Getting on and off the bike can cause contents to shift.
4) no. I only have space for two
5) thankfully no. But The fear is ever-present. It’s a source of anxiety.
6) I try to avoid blowing through red lights and stop signs but if there’s. I traffic, I do. Police here don’t care
7) I’ve never been set up but I’ve delivered to some pretty sketchy places. I’ve also delivered to $20mm mansions
8) no

what happens when we die?
also what do you mean it won't last? like you want to do something different? go back to school? stop when winter hits? i must admit the way you've described it sounds pretty nice and it seems like you've gotten a feel for it so i'm wondering what would cause you to quit.
Riding a bicycle for too long cannot be good for your reproductive health.
Have you ever made a delivery to a single lady... saxophone music in the background... she smiles and beckons...

what happens when we die? lights out, no mas.
no theme park in the sky with clouds. it's like you went to sleep but aren't dreaming. I hate to say it but that's what I believe now. Open to changing this belief later.
I view it as a temporary gig thing - you don't get any respect from anyone saying you deliver food for a living. Women especially. However, I feel quite content doing this right now.

I'm applying and interviewing for big-boy jobs from a career I left several months ago.
