I do UberEats and Doordash deliveries, which is similar to driving people. Something to keep in mind, you may pay $10 for your trip, but it’s guaranteed that Uber will keep most of that money, and the driver is depending on a good tip to make a profit. As a driver, my goal is to earn at least $2 per mile. So say a customer paid $10 for delivery. I may see $2.50 - $3.50 of that, and if it’s a 10 mile trip, I need a tip large enough to ensure I’m making a profit.

I drove delivery up until about a year ago, as gas prices went up and Uber took more and more of the fee I ended up turning down more and more deliveries because I’d nearly be losing money without a good tip. You get snippy with the people complaining about not having money for a tip because you’re also struggling, that’s why you’re driving.
