So would you have accepted it if that upfront estimate for this double order was $10? No, I don't think so. You got lucky with a good paying order and a generous tipper. Location has nothing to do with it.

$10? No. Because it was more than 10 miles. I accepted it for $30, which would be enough. I would have been happy with that.

But there is a misbelief that people who live in poorer neighborhoods don't tip and that it's dangerous to go put some food on their porch for them.

That's not true. Neither thing is true. I do it all the time.

So you accept an offer of $32.55 and then criticize other drivers for not accepting that delivery before you for a lower amount?

No... I'm critical of others (driver or not) who are so irrationally scared of poor and well tanned people that they turn down decent offers.

They won't employ these people, approve loans for them, shop in their neighborhood stores. They won't even allow them to move around freely without harassment, demand that our KKKops quit killing them and falsely imprisoning them, etc. They won't spring for infrastructure or decent schools, only more KKKops.

But, so long as these attitudes persist, I'll keep on taking advantage of the situation. So THANKS, bigots! Keep redlining those certain neighborhoods. All the more for the rest of us.

Btw, I checked the detail of that offer. It was 9 miles. But it was 6:30PM. So I probably would have taken it for $15, definitely $20. It wound up taking 50 min, so I'd have been disappointed if it were only $15.
