I Doordash in BC and typically make less than minimum wage after expenses.
It's true that the legislation provides some protections, but that's based on "active time" which doesn't include the time returning to "hotspots" where you may be assigned orders.
As an example, if someone in a residential area that's 10 minutes from the nearest restaurant orders a delivery, you are "active" while picking up the delivery and driving to the customer, but not for the 10 minutes driving back out of the residential area. It's a bit of a waiting game.
Also, I can tell you from personal experience that most customers are not tipping. My average tip per order (across 1300 orders) is between 50 cents and 70 cents per order. If you are tipping on all your orders it's definitely appreciated though.
> Fuck DoorDash and their drivers.
I agree with fuck Doordash, but not sure why you have so much animosity towards people working this job.
