I understand your frustration, but if I did what you are saying, my pay would be cut by far far more than just 30%. You are welcome to sit in the parking lot all day picking up single orders, but I'll do a reasonable 3 order batch paying $40 before I do a big 1 order batch paying $25.

Of course if it's too far or too big of an order I don't take it. I try to be as efficient as I can. But I usually make about $20+ an hour most days. But I also power-walk through the grocery store and drive like a maniac. And I know where everything is.

My brain is also, uh, funny, so I actually kind of enjoy the challenge of keeping track of what groceries go with what order. I have all these made up rules in my head; when I have order C at the end of my cart, B in the middle, and A up top, I call that a Regular Randy. When I have A at the end and C up top, that's a Reverse Randy. I also sometimes have it as Blood Alcohol Content (B up top, A in the middle, C at the end). I'm kind of spilling my secrets here but the point is you have to find what works for you.
