I drive for DoorDash, and $2 is absolutely a tip. Esp if the delivery is within a couple miles of the restaurant. Ideally I want to make $2+\mile driven, but for deliveries under a mile it’s not as much of an issue. Think about tipping more for longer distance orders.
$2-$4 base pay (which can go up if dashers continually reject the contract but I’ve been offered $4 contracts for over 10 miles of driving one direction on more than one occasion), yes, and I take plenty of zero tip orders that are deliveries under 2 miles and it’s fine as long as I don’t have to wait too long for the food. But a 10 mile delivery for $4 quickly becomes a money loser for me when you factor in gas and time. 20 miles round trip takes 20-40 minutes depending on where it is which by itself makes it a delivery that’s not worthwhile (talking $6-$12/hour at that point). I never take a delivery that’s over 10 miles and that doesn’t pay at least $1.50/mile, and a lot of drivers don’t take those orders unless that pay $2+/mile.

Don’t doordash drivers get paid for delivering?
