You’re actually proving the point that order price is irrelevant to the specific job for the driver. If I ordered 20 burgers and 10 fountain drinks off a fast food dollar menu, you’re looking at a $30 order which would generate a $6 tip at a 20% rate for something you just said would be extremely burdensome for the driver. Meanwhile, a different driver would get a $20 tip for driving a single bag of expensive sushi (a hypothetical $100 order of 5 speciality sushi rolls). That’s what makes no sense.

Sure when you make up numbers everything makes sense. Go ahead and find me some place where you could order 20 burgers for $30 that's not the year 2000

Ok. Say it’s $50 then. The exact figure is irrelevant. The point is that the price of a food order does not necessarily (and often does not) correlate with the factors you listed: number of bags, whether drinks are involved, whether there are pizza boxes, distance to drive, etc.
