So, I did doordash for three years during the pandemic, working through college. In that time. I received 5 tips post-delivery, out of nearly 2000 deliveries. It was so uncommon that I remember all of them. At the same time, regardless of distance or time, DoorDash would only offer $2-$3.50 per delivery. So yes, if you didn't tip up-front, I was unlikely to take your delivery after I ealized that. My rule of thumb was no less than $5, and $2/mile, decreasing to $1/mile with a long enough distance. Otherwise, between maintenance and gas, I was losing money. I only broke that rule if my numbers were too low. They implemented this style of pay shortly before I left the service, but in my experience, it paid nowhere near well enough to be worthwhile.
