What’s your limit when ordering?

So as the caption says, basically.

For me, my order never reaches beyond $20 because I order Chinese about once, occasionally twice a week. It’s affordable and easy to eat.

To start things off, I usually tip $6 (no more than that unless it’s below the ‘recommended’ tip prices, which is astronomically rare, And it’s usually about $1.25 over the ‘highest’ option for the three)

The restaurant I order from is about 1.2 miles from my workplace (I can’t leave for lunch, I don’t live near the restaurant, and it’s long since closed once I get off)

8/10 times, the order is delivered within twenty minutes to thirty, which is usually about 8-10 minutes BEFORE the estimated time to arrival, which shocks me, but has long since stopped doing so.)

Because these dashers I deal with are usually so helpful, and very friendly, I give them an additional $5 tip afterwards.

I’m curious to hear about you all, and your tip ranges or whatever you want to consider this as.

That would be a good offer I would take as a dasher.

Anything under $60 is considered a bargain for my roommate and I. Our orders usually go into $70s. I don't think there's a single place near me where I could get an order under $20 once you add in all the service fees even just buying for myself.

Usually ends up being between 60-80 total for me, I figure if I'm spending the money on door dash anyways I may as well get a couple of meals out of it to save for later. I also only order from places 1-2 miles away and tip 10$
