What I liked

I liked that I was about to make my own schedule and work whenever I wanted to.

What I wish was different

I enjoyed my experience. No changes necessary.

Advice

If someone was to be a Dasher, I would recommend to save restaurant receipts and hand them to the customer at dropoff. They are likely to tip higher if they see the amount paid.
