I’m not trying to rip into you either but I see this same thing every single day. I’m not new to this - I’m in literally all of the contract groups and this is exactly how it goes. The people with lower metrics say similar to you. The people with fear of less business because more drivers - they only feel that way because business is slow for them. I got diagnosed with lung cancer and I don’t have ANY choice in the matter right now. I need the freedom for my treatment and to be able to rest when needed. I have a professional degree but I cannot risk making a buffoon out of myself in my industry by employer hopping while sick.

Trust me. I’m not happy about it either. I’m not excited to get out there and have all these people in my car during Covid while I have lung cancer. I’m not excited to run to 50-70 different restaurants a day and pick up orders for people to tip bait me, try to make me on Tik Tok from their doorbell cams. I used to play in a local band. Everyone knows me. I’ve worked extremely hard to change that but you can’t just disappear completely. Of the hundreds of orders and rides I’ll be taking I can assure you many times I will run into people I don’t care to see.

I get what you’re saying and why - it’s slow season anyway man. But seriously I did take offense to that. There’s no reason to share that way because you don’t want more drivers. I’m willing to bet you can actually feel your face when you wake up in the morning and it’s not numb from lack of oxygen - meaning YOU can work a regular job lol. I can’t right now. It fuckin wears me out bro. I can however sit on my ass and shuttle people and food around so that I can live through this and pay for my treatment and bills.

Now that you know all of this - do you want to share that promo code and make some money together or not. The last two I really want/need are listed but I’m happy to hear any out that you have that you work with - that actually has business in the area. Not trying to get your code for “Deliveroo” lol
