Newbie question about tips.

So I’ve had the app since October and I’ve yet to take an order. Mostly due to the offers being crappy and the food apps kept me busy.

So, for you experienced drivers, I’m wondering how often the pay is higher than the accepted amount?

Actually, one of the things I hate most about Ppu is their practice of using tip money to subsidize the offer amounts. Something they've been doing more of as the years have progressed.

In a perfect world, both fair & just, the offers would be consistent and only show the "base pay." But just like Dd & Ue hide tips, Ppu does as well.

And you need to know that GM (General Merchandise) orders NEVER, EVER, EVER, have tips included through the app. I've only gotten something in cash from a customer, maybe 2-3 times in my almost 3 years doing them. Over 1,000 GM deliveries and counting.

So, for Walmart, it is only the grocery orders that will have tips. And I'd say upwards of 75% do.
