well dashers can't see that 0 tip.  but we can figure it out if they want us to
get a mcdonalds order for 4 dollars.

what doordash usually does is pair up a notip order with a good tipping order to
get it done. it can be from totally different restaurants.  the delivery
locations can be no where near eachother.

i'm pretty sure doordash will get a class action lawsuit or 2 eventually.

i'm not so sure they can do that because they are contractors.
i also have the ability to choose an hourly flat rate with tips (but they warn
tips might be less) or the regular way.   the hourly can go from 14-16-19/hr
depending on the time.

not sure if i'm going to be doing this in the winter/snow because roads are
horrible here. last feb i had something in the road poke up and rip off my
tailpipe
