Poem
Been at the Uber game since 2019. Got in the booming gig work scene. Needed a part time job outside retail. Something allowing me to write my tale. Giving me the chance to pick my hours. And walk away if the situation sours. At first there were hardly any jobs. Doordash passed me all the lobs. They were quick absorbing restaurants. Feeding new needs of the eaters wants. They grew while Uber was preoccupied. Rideshare was #1 with delivery on the side. When COVID hit it changed the game. Restaurants could not remain the same. Delivery was how they would stay afloat. The industry hurt, it’d be a lie to sugarcoat. So while working 9 to 5, it was my cushion. After hours I could keep my grind pushin. When I lost a job I kept on earning dough. Even though on my resume it won’t show. But I chose my jobs based on what they pay. Customers and restaurants like what I say. Being efficient with the tasks and routes. To limit the delays and Karen’s pouts. Whether its a handoff or meet at door. I never really know what’s in store. Usually it’s smooth business and all’s good. But things don’t always go as they should. Items can be left out and overlooked. The order can alter how it was booked. Food can easily be under or over cooked. Spills happen when items get overshooked. But if you crack a joke or mediate. The stress will usually dissipate. Customers appreciate the golden rule. So I keep their ice cream very cool. Gotta ask for parm when they get pizza. I need it for mine, don’t know about cha. Gotta keep the hot food toasty in bags. Love when orders come with printed tags. Screenshot when funny takes place. To share with others puts laughs on face. The stuff that happens seems unreal. But humor helps with tips, ya feel? Gotta be choosy deciding which jobs to take. To optimize how much cash I can make. Typically I can work a solid 11 hour day. Averaging out a respectable hourly pay. Racking over a hundred miles in a shift. Sadly expecting an eventual lease rift. To offset the miles, the IRS reimburses. At 55 cents a mile, noted in these verses.
