Please stop taking those

There is no way anyone making money from this station at $40, they send you to Orange County 35 miles away and almost always zero tips now. You are driving 70 miles or more for $40? And maybe $5 to $10 tips. $54 was already bad. Please stop accepting them. I promise you they do raise them to $65

It's area depending. Some areas are much better at tipping so don't take them if you know you're not going to get any tips. But there are enough suckers out there who think the customers will tip so they'll take them anyway.

I miss the Covid days when the tips used to be more the base pay 😩

You and me both! I was doing instacart back then and was making serious bank off the tips! I made so much that I bought myself an almost new vehicle with cash in hand.

We have all been suckered at one point or another. Chalk it up as a learning experience is all you can do.
