shite, I'm the universal plasma donor, and have never gotten paid since 2001.

I didn’t think the OT was poor enough for this thread. 10+ years ago everyone here was 6’3” and making $150k+.

I do Uber Eats 6-10 hours a week. Only work weekend nights from about 5:30-8:00. If orders are good, I’ll sometimes work till 9:00. If orders are shitty, I’ll sign off at 7:00. 90% of my orders are Metairie east of Transcontinental and Lakeview up to the Orleans Canal. Always take orders paying at least $2 a mile. I’ll take a well paying order to Harahan/ River Ridge and occasionally to Kenner. I try not to deliver to any apartment complexes. After doing it awhile you learn the restaurants to stay away from because they always make you wait for the order. I’m able to average $20-$40 an hour. And I don’t work in the rain, like tonight.

I’ll add to my OP to mention another Uber Eats driver I met because we are often picking up at the same restaurants. This guy is a retired staff attorney from the Louisiana AG office and he told me when he retired he started doing Uber Eats to get out of the house. He could have found side gig work doing something with his attorney experience but he says that he was tired of the law and wanted to do something different. He said he likes listening to classical music and he drives and delivers while listening to his music. He said any money he makes he gives to a granddaughter that goes to LSU so she has spending money. I don’t think he needs the money as I once went to his house in River Ridge and it is easily a $500 K house. And he recently went to Italy for two weeks.
Just an example that it takes all kinds to do side gigs.
