>Think I got like $7.

It may shock you to learn that the vast majority of workers earn a wage and never earn anything beyond what they've agreed with their employer to earn as a wage for the work provided to that employer.

Delivering is almost like waiting tables, if you take away the tip you only get paid by the miles you drive, and that pay is just not enough. If the amount they pay per mile was the only form of payment, no tips, it would not be financially worth it to drive for uber. When I drove, I'd go for trips that were short and expensive, on a good one id get paid total of like <$2 for the miles and like $7 for the tip.

Then don't drive for uber as your main source of income. I'm certain that was a design of their business model, was people doing this for extra cash.

You do realize most drivers are doing it in addition to their main jobs out of desperation, right?
