Has anybody ever done (or is doing) doordash deliveries by foot/public transit in downtown Toronto? If so, how much did you earn and is it viable? (lemmy.ml)

I have heard from one of my friends that they knew somebody who managed to earn around $50 in around 4 hours doing doordash deliveries by foot in downtown Toronto.

I really want to earn at least some money by doing doordash deliveries, but I have no car (or even a G1 driver's license). Could I do it by foot or public transit in downtown Toronto?

Also, yes, I do know that I will probably not earn much compared to even a minimum wage job, but for now I'd be happy with at least some money while I look for a real job.

If I'm paying money for something and someone takes a job they can't do on time that's on them. I don't pay to have my food come late because they want to walk.

If he serves a small area walking might even be more efficient than a car and be fine, but that's on him to properly manage.

I'm not going to pay again for that, and I'm going to rate accordingly so others don't have to put up with it either.

Edit: and if apps offered a way to decline certain delivery methods up front, I would.
