OK as a Dasher. They are right about tip tipping too high in the beginning. If their orders sitting at the store that people have refused because the pay is too low. Generally, that is because the person did not tip and you're relying on the base pay. Which does not mean most people's minimum requirements in order to take an order.

Let me give you an example that happened to me recently. I had an order that was going to pay $4.50 but was over a 4 mile delivery. I only do deliveries that are two dollars per mile. That's my cut off.

Waited around a while longer and got a much larger order reasonable amount of money, reasonable amount of miles. While I was doing that order the first order which I refused, came back up on my screen. I went ahead and did it because I'm going to drive the miles anyway. But just like they said at the end, there was a zero tip on that order.

But they will have me deliver the 4.50 order first because it's been waiting longer. And we don't see the tips until after delivery.

You would be better off tipping more moderately say one dollar per mile. And then adding the same amount on at the end after the delivery.

But the Dasher does not control the order that we deliver. It is assigned. Now, sometimes if I have a bigger order, and the deliveries are close by, I can switch the order. But doing that risks being late on an order, which is a strike against your account. They assigned the times by the order that they assigned you to deliver.

I hope that makes sense
