What DoorDash pays, after expenses, and what’s happening with tips
&gt; “These orders don’t pay for our expenses or our time. We actually lose money when we take those orders. If I pick up an order that is 10 miles away and deliver it 6 miles I’m traveling 16 miles for a $3 order — so I have lost money. I’m in the negative when I account for gas, wear and tear, and other expenses. Not to mention my time.”<p>This begs an obvious question: why are people choosing to do this if it pays $0&#x2F;hr? It’s voluntary. Can they find something better to do with their time?
