Yeah you can read someone's personal account on how they are able to clear $20 an hour regularly doing delivery, but they have to employ all kinds of strategies to do so,
So if they have the skills and tenacity to consistently make slightly better than a living wage (probably for only a few hours a day) they probably have what it takes to get and keep a regular job paying notably better?
30 years ago or so, I made roughly 14 an hour driving pizzas part time, 3x minimum wage at the time. The strategy was basically go fast, know where you’re going (no cell/ google maps), don’t get stuck with single pie runs to the end of the earth.
To see that 20/hr requires all kinds of strategies now — it’s a different world.
Whenever I saw "9735 Birchwood Ave"* pop up in the order queue, I would suddenly get inspired to go wash dishes or fold boxes or pop dough bubbles. Sometimes that inspiration would strike 2 or 3 of us at once!
Let the poor rookie go get stiffed on a tip.
* Address changed, but 25 year later I actually still remember the real address.
